Clinton does not want sex; he wants love. He never got enough as a kid (dead father, abusive stepfather, absent mother), and he cannot get enough of it now.

They were most assuredly all absent the day The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was shown and Eli Wallach's priceless gem of wisdom was studied: "When you gotta shoot, shoot, don't talk...
