i agree. in the scene where they were watching the bag, i hardly think he
had getting laid on his mind. if he had - being that he is an invented
character - you would've seen that somewhere, and not everyone can have the
same kind of mindframe..not everyone is thinking "maybe if i say something
like this, that is 'different' i'll get laid." his character didn't seem
to have that on his mind tho. i started getting teary eyed watching the
bag..because there was this amazing energy that made it keep coming back,
and he noticed it, and i just thought it was neat (even if he is made up)
that someone could find something so trivial to be so deep and passionate.
