  What he says: ^<br>What he thinks: &quot;I want a reservation at Dorsia! I want a reservation at Dorsia!&quot;

  I vaguely remember that, in the scene where he commits suicide, he straight up <i>tells someone</i> that he committed all of those murders, and their response is to continue gossipping about restaurant reservations and musicals.<br><br>The one thing he wants is to be recognized as something, as someone, but not even admitting to being a serial killer is enough to make that happen. He&apos;s surrounded by people who are exactly as self-absorbed as he is, and he can&apos;t stand it.

  &quot;Bateman is no one, and therefore Bateman is everyone. If this guy can go throughout society unnoticed then the society is crazy&quot; is probably the best line I&apos;ve heard in the past six months. I love it so much.

  You’re missing the point of Paul Allen’s murder. Everyone confuses everyone for someone else, so it’s completely possible that the lawyer was mistaken about having dinner with Paul. Hell, no one ever corrects anyone when mistaken identity comes up.

  In the opening shot of the apartment, there&apos;s a telescope, which seems like it should be something. Indicating a hobby, an area of interest seperate from finance, social status, maybe a world view touched by an admiration of the stars. <br><br>except no it fucking doesn&apos;t because HE&apos;S IN NEW YORK! I am like 95% certain that light polution would be bad enough that you can&apos;t see shit. A telescope wouldn&apos;t work in a city like NYC, so the one thing of actual personality in his apartment just shows even further that he is nothing. <br><br>It is expensive tho so it works for the flex. Fantastic choice by the set dressers.

  Fun fact; for the interrogation scene with Willem Dafoe there was three seperate shoots, one where he didnt think Pat killed Paul, one where he suspected it, and the last where he was basically certain. Same for the dinner later. The director cut the three shots together randomly to create a jarring feeling

  Something I noticed about Patrick’s skincare routine is that it’s very harsh on the skin. Exfoliation like that should be done 1,2 times a week, not every morning

  the first and last time i watched american psycho i was post op from a wisdom tooth surgery and just passed out for the first 90 minutes. I saw him drop a chainsaw on a woman, shoot a homeless guy, blow up a cop car, and then the ending scene. 10/10 would watch again

  &quot;No, I&apos;m in touch with humanity&quot; is such an incredibly funny line and the way he delivers sends me

  I once read someone describe the story as “If you picture Patrick Bateman as a girl, he just sounds like a moody teenager with insecurities”
