I think when affleck is giving that long winded speech to Joey in the rain, I think many guys have in probably different words but to the most part played out that conversation in their head for their "special crush" that they were too shy to confront, its just the fact he said it aloud.
Jason Lee is damned good, but Kevin Smith is the winner, I don't mean to sound like an old man, but he is the Charlie Chaplin of the modern age.
