Bateman stands in front of a massive marble sink applying a gel facial masque.
BATEMAN (V.O.):
Then I apply an herb mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
Bateman opens the door of a mirrored cabinet, which is stocked with immaculate rows of skin care products. He begins selecting bottles jars and brushes, laying them in readiness on the marble counter.
BATEMAN (V.O.):
I always use an after-shave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion...
Bateman stares into the mirror. The masque has dried, giving his face a strange distorted look as if it has been wrapped in plastic. He begins slowly peeling the gel masque off his face.
BATEMAN (V.O.):
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
INT. OFFICES OF PIERCE & PIERCE - DAY
As Bateman walks down the corridor, he passes another MAN who looks just like him.
MAN:
Morning, Hamilton. Nice tan.
Bateman walks past the desk of JEAN, his secretary, pulling his Walkman from around his neck. Jean is attractive, wholesome, earnest. She smiles shyly. She loves him.
JEAN:
Late?
BATEMAN:
Aerobics class. Sorry. Any messages?
JEAN:
Ricky Harrison has to cancel today. He didn't say what he was canceling or why.
BATEMAN:
I occasionally box with Ricky at the Harvard Club. Anyone else?
JEAN:
Spencer wants to meet you for a drink at Fluties Pier 17.
BATEMAN:
When?
JEAN:
After six.
BATEMAN:
Negative. Cancel it.
JEAN:
And what should I say?
BATEMAN:
Just...say...no.
JEAN:
Just say no?
Jean stands at his desk, waiting for instructions.
BATEMAN:
Okay, Jean. I need reservations for three at Camols at twelve-thirty, and if not there, try Crayons. All right?
JEAN:
Yes, sir.
She turns to leave.
BATEMAN:
Oh wait. And I need reservations for two at Arcadia at 8:00 on Thursday.
Jean turns around.
JEAN:
Something...romantic?
BATEMAN:
No...silly. Forget it, I'll make them.
JEAN:
No, I'll do it.
BATEMAN:
No, No. Be a doll and just get me a mineral water, okay?
JEAN:
You look nice today.
BATEMAN:
Don't wear that outfit again.
JEAN:
What? I didn't hear you.
BATEMAN:
I said, "Do not wear that outfit again." Wear a dress, a skirt or something.
