Subbing Clerks III

Hi <BB<

I'm Sub-editing Clerks III - the new version is A88039399 - please subscribe!

I'd like to double check a few of the quotes, please.

'I wish I had a life worth saving, never went outside Jersey or fell in love, almost 50 and do nothing but watch movies' - is the punctuation matching the script?

"they have been here since the first movie which was the last time they were cool" - could there be a comma after movie?

"who so happens he was coincidentally Asian" - "who so happens he was" seems unusual phrasing.

Thank you smiley - ok

Hello - thanks for volunteering to sub, I've subscribed now.

The good news is I found a script of 'Clerks III'! I'm not sure whether there are differences between what was written and what the characters say sometimes, but yes, can you change that to:
'I wish I had a life worth saving... I never went anywhere outside Jersey. I never fell in love... I'm almost 50 and sit around doing nothing but watching movies'

'they've been here since the first movie, which was the last time they were cool'

and 'It just so happens he himself was coincidentally Asian.'
