Editing Jay and Silent Bob (section)

===''Dogma'' (1999)===
{{Main|Dogma (film)}}
The events in ''Dogma'' take place after their disappointing adventure in the fictional Shermer, [[Illinois]]. These events are chronicled in the comic book story "[[Chasing Dogma]]". Jay and Silent Bob decide to go back home to New Jersey. Before they leave, they meet Bethany Sloane ([[Linda Fiorentino]]), a [[Catholic spirituality|Roman Catholic]] [[abortion]] clinic worker who has lost her faith in God.

Though she is unaware of it, Bethany is the last living relative of [[Jesus]]. She has been charged with the holy quest of stopping two fallen angels, Bartleby ([[Ben Affleck]]) and Loki ([[Matt Damon]]), from entering a church in New Jersey. The angels were expelled from Heaven after Loki got drunk, quit his position as the Angel of Death, and gave [[Obscene gesture|the finger]] to God. They realize that they can exploit a doctrinal loophole and get back into heaven if they lose their wings, are absolved of their sins, and then die by some means other than [[suicide]]. Bartleby reasons that entering the church in New Jersey will automatically forgive all of their sins, as total remission of sins had been granted to whoever visited that specific church on a specific date, thus allowing them to return to Heaven. Though they do not know it, if the two were to return to heaven this way, they would overturn God's decision, thus "proving God wrong" and unmaking all of existence. The [[Metatron]] ([[Alan Rickman]]) tells Bethany that she is to follow two people who refer to themselves as "[[prophet]]s". This is revealed to be Jay and Silent Bob, who rescue Bethany from some thugs. She believes they are the prophets due to mis-hearing Jay's statement that he "could have stayed in Jersey and at least made himself a 'profit'". Though initially only interested in [[Sexual intercourse|sex]], Jay and Silent Bob agree to let her come with them.

Jay and Silent Bob fulfill their roles as prophets. They predict the arrival of Rufus ([[Chris Rock]]), the 13th apostle, who was left out of the [[Bible]] because he was black, and they lead the others to former [[Muse]] Serendipity ([[Salma Hayek]]). They procure the divine instrument that will stop Azrael, and Jay reveals the location of God ("John Doe Jersey"). Ultimately, though inadvertently, they provide Bethany with the solution to preventing [[Armageddon]]. The Apostle Rufus also reveals that Jay entertains [[Gay|homosexual]] fantasies when masturbating. Jay reassures an uncomfortable Silent Bob, by explaining that he does not 'always' think about men. During the journey, they also encounter Bartleby and Loki, and a host of demons who (in rebellion against Hell) are trying to help the angels cause the end of the world. Silent Bob also speaks, saying "no ticket" (a reference to ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'') after throwing the rebel angels off a moving train, then being stared at by a speechless and concerned passenger.

Once at the church, Jay and Silent Bob, along with the others, try to stop the angels from entering. Loki has a change of heart and tries to help them out, but is killed by Bartleby. Though their efforts to fight Bartleby are unsuccessful (in fact, Jay accidentally helps Bartleby out by shooting his wings off with a [[MAC-10]], turning him to a mortal), [[God]] ([[Alanis Morissette]]) arrives, and proceeds to set things in order. After Jay spouts an obscenity-filled tirade on Serendipity and Rufus, the movie ends with Jay suggesting that Silent Bob and he take Bethany to the Quick Stop.

The ending credits claim that Jay and Silent Bob would return in ''[[Clerks II]]''.
