: do you think Dante wins his girlfriend back, after going to the mental hospital?...and please dont refer me to the comic book, the lost scene..I've read that...personally, I think he does.
I'm with you. I've seen the movie many times and read the comics and, from what I can tell, Dante would sacrifice most anything (job by leaving for a date with her, relationship with Veronica, and well being (holiday special comic) to visit her in the hospital) to get Caitlin back. He's obviously in denial when he hears of her engagement to Sang, and even tries to disremember (to steal a term from Toni Morrison) the times that she cheated on him.
Personally, I'd love to know how Brian O'Halloran has to say on this topic. By his outstanding acting in Clerks, it is obvious that he understood the character of Dante very well.
