''Sex is like a handshake to you.'' John Boys (James LeGros) to his promiscuous girlfriend Jessica (Lisa Zane) in Floundering (1994)
John Boys (James LeGros) thinking of his promiscuous girlfriend Jessica (Lisa Zane) in Floundering (1994): ''If you want someone to fulfill an image and they don''t you are eventually going to have a big, big problem with who they really are. I thought true-love conquered all. That''s the supreme fiction. If you walk into a room and find yourself instantly attracted to someone there, get the fuck-out of that room because that is the wrong person for you.''
