Alice Evans: Ben Wade has a gang and they're out there tonight, somewhere.
Dan Evans: If I don't go, we gotta pack up and leave. Now I'm tired, Alice. I'm tired of watching my boys go hungry. I'm tired of the way that they look at me. I'm tired of the way that you don't.
Alice Evans: Don't do it, Dan. No one will think less of you.
Dan Evans: No one can think less of me.
Irving Rosenfeld: She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.

Patrick Bateman: I think, um, Evelyn that, uh, we've lost touch.
Evelyn Williams: Why? What's wrong?
Patrick Bateman: I need to engage in homicidal behaviour on a massive scale can not be corrected but, uh, I have no other way to fulfill my needs.
Patrick Bateman: I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
Patrick Bateman: I'm leaving. I've assessed the situation, and I'm going.

Patrick Bateman: I have to return some videotapes.
Patrick Bateman: I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?

Patrick Bateman: There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park... And is obviously more expensive than mine.

Daisy: What do you do?
Patrick Bateman: I'm into... Well murders and executions mostly.
Daisy: Do you like it?
Patrick Bateman: It depends. Why?

Patrick Bateman: Pumpkin, you're dating the biggest dickweed in New York. Pumpkin, you're dating a tumbling, tumbling dickweed.
Courtney Rawlinson: Patrick, stop calling me pumpkin, OK?
Patrick Bateman: 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 yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.
Waiter: Would you like to hear today's specials?
Patrick Bateman: Not if you want to keep your spleen.
Patrick Bateman: He was into that whole Yale thing.
Donald Kimball: Yale thing?

Patrick Bateman: You're dating Louis and he's in Arizona. You're fucking me and we don't have plans tonight. What could you possibly be doing?
Jean: Make someone happy. Have you ever wanted to?
Patrick Bateman: I'm looking for, uh... [puts nail gun to the back of Jean's head.] I guess you could say I just want to have a meaningful relationship with someone special.
