He frequently gets into debates ranging from philosophy to Star Wars with his best friend, fellow clerk Randal Graves, who works at the adjacent RST Video Store.
In addition, he is continually stalked by Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith), two drug dealers who loiter in front of the store all day and often like to go inside and steal.
He has difficulty dealing with his girlfriend Veronica, especially her extensive history of performing fellatio (on 37 different men, including him) — even though she seems to genuinely love him, going so far as to bring him lasagna at work and help him fix a tire.
Randal Graves, played by Jeff Anderson, is a clerk at RST Video, located next door to the Quick Stop convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey.
Randal's behavior at times appears contradictory; for example, he says that he hates people but loves social gatherings, and says, "This job would be great if it weren't for the fucking customers".
Falling into a depression, Randall decides to make a movie about his life working at the Quick Stop, with the help of Dante, Jay and Silent Bob, and other locals.
Willam is referred to as an "idiot man-child" by other characters in the View Askewniverse, mostly because of his limited intelligence and demeanor (glazed eyes, unkempt hair and beard, and lack of coordination).
Later on, he instigates a small demonstration to a crowd in the store by calling Dante a "cancer merchant" and comparing him and other cigarette sellers to the Nazis just because they both were "a group of hate-mongers just following orders".
Brodie Bruce (Jason Lee) is an unemployed, lazy, comic book-obsessed, Sega-playing slacker, living with his parents and lacking the initiative and prospects appropriate to his age.
Just before he can assault Bruce, Silent Bob starts the video tape of Hamilton and Tricia Jones' sexual encounter that is played on the Truth or Date big screens.
During the conclusion, it is said that "Shannon made a lot of friends at the Rahway State Correctional Facility" and see a hand wrap around Hamilton's, with "Love" tattooed on his fingers.
Shannon is mentioned in Chasing Amy, when Alyssa Jones says she had sex with him in college, only to have a tape of their sexual encounter be broadcast all over campus, thus retroactively making his comeuppance in Mallrats a case of poetic justice.
begins in turmoil, as they break up early in the movie due to a misunderstanding involving a school trip and her obligation to participate in her father’s TV show, Truth or Date, as a replacement for a contestant who unexpectedly passed away.
Brandi is shown to be a sensible, kind, and determined character, often caught between the overbearing demands of her father, Jared Svenning (Michael Rooker), and her own desire for independence.
Also, in the Clerks comic book Where's the Beef?, Randal mentions that Dante Hicks tried to impress Gwen by wearing a Batman costume and standing on a roof top.
"[8] Steve-Dave and Walt also appeared briefly in Dogma; they had scenes in Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back that were cut from the final edit.
He returns in Clerks III (bizarrely, alongside Mosier's version of the character), where he auditions for Randal's movie about the Quick Stop but scares the production team by screaming about the sailboat, explaining it came from a personal experience.
Having received exclusive movie rights for Bluntman and Chronic, Banky has allowed a film adaptation to go through production which sets Jay and Silent Bob on an adventure to stop this from taking place.
She explains to him of Julie originally going to attend Jared Svenning's Truth or Date television pilot before her unfortunate demise when she drowned in a swimming pool in YMCA and Caitlin Bree's recent engagement.
The unique friendships she forms with various previously unknown figures from history during her journey, and their insights into her past and the world around her, inspire Bethany to regain her faith and strength.
After a mishap on a bus, the two end up getting an update from the demon Azrael (Jason Lee) about Heaven's and Hell's search for them and the threat of the Last Scion Bethany Sloan (Linda Fiorentino).
A joke made by Ben Affleck in a Train Wreck video for Clerks II was turned into a rumor that Bartleby would return in said film via a brief cameo appearance.
His campaign is nearly put in jeopardy when the film's main characters Bethany, Rufus and Jay and Silent Bob try to stop the centennial celebration so that the two fallen angels Bartleby and Loki can't carry through with their plenary indulgence plan.
Leonardo himself achieved his fortune decades ago when he explored parts of Canada and acquired exclusive Canadian mineral rights in exchange for introducing the polio virus to the natives.
Dante and Randal later on discover Leonardo's true motives for returning to the town: he will replace all of the stores with a theme park-style Canadian goods shop, followed by a domed pleasure paradise made to be New Jersey's premier tourist destination.
It is revealed in the episode "Leonardo Is Caught in the Grip of an Outbreak of Randal's Imagination and Patrick Swayze Either Does or Doesn't Work in the New Pet Store" that Mr. Plug is actually a robot.
At the end of the aforementioned episode of his debut, he is about to share some words of wisdom with Dante and Randal when the scene suddenly cuts to Jay and Silent Bob's segment.
After the film's heroes are framed for a jewel heist, Willenholly arrives to investigate the lesser crime that involved the two in the theft of an orangutan named Susanne from the Provasic animal testing facility.
