American Psycho (film) Quotes

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman

• (Christian Bale) "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."

• (Christian Bale) "Listen, you'll have to excuse me. I have a lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons in 20 minutes."

• (Bill Sage) "Eggshell with Romalian type. What do you think?"
• (Christian Bale) "Nice."
• (Justin Theroux) "Jesus. That is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?"
• (Christian Bale) "I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's card to mine."

• (Christian Bale) "Impressive. Very nice."
• (Bill Sage) "Hmm."
• (Christian Bale) "Let's see Paul Allen's card."
• (Christian Bale) "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."

• (Christian Bale) "You're a f***ing ugly bitch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood."

• (Victoria) "What are those?"
• (Christian Bale) "Oh, uh, it's; cranberry juice. Uh, cran-apple."

• (Christian Bale) "I'm fairly certain that Timothy Bryce and Evelyn are having an affair. Timothy is the only interesting person I know. I'm almost completely indifferent as to whether Evelyn knows I'm having an affair with Courtney Rawlinson, her closest friend. Courtney is almost perfect looking. She's usually operating on one or more psychiatric drugs; tonight I believe it's Xanax. More disturbing than the drug use, though, is the fact that she's engaged to Luis Carruthers, the biggest dufus in the business."

• (Christian Bale) "Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?"
• (Jared Leto) "They're OK."
• (Christian Bale) "Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
• (Jared Leto) "Hey Halberstram."
• (Christian Bale) "Yes, Allen?"
• (Jared Leto) "Why are there copies of the style section all over the place, d-do you have a dog? A little chow or something?"
• (Christian Bale) "No, Allen."
• (Jared Leto) "Is that a rain coat?"
• (Christian Bale) "Yes it is. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself."
• (Christian Bale) "Hey Paul."

• (Christian Bale) "Well, you can always be thinner -- look better."
• (Chloë Sevigny) "Then maybe we shouldn't go out to dinner. I wouldn't want you to lose your willpower."
• (Christian Bale) "That's okay. I'm not very good at controlling it anyway."

• (Christian Bale) "I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. 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."

• (Christian Bale) "Hi, this is Paul Allen. I'm being called away to London for a few days. Meredith, I'll call you when I get back. Hasta la vista, baby."

• (Christian Bale) "Hey, is that Donald Trump's car?"

• (Christian Bale) "Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite."

• (Christian Bale) "I'm f***ing serious. It's f***ing over, us, this is no joke. I don't think we should see each other any more."
• (Reese Witherspoon) "But your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends. I really don't think it would work. You have a little something --"
• (Christian Bale) "I know that your friends are my friends and, uh -- I've thought about that. You can have 'em."

• (Christian Bale) "Come on, Bryce. There are a lot more important problems than Sri Lanka to worry about."
• (Justin Theroux) "Like what?"
• (Christian Bale) "Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people."
• (Matt Ross) "Patrick. How thought-provoking."

• (Christian Bale) "Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P; and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut."

• (Chloë Sevigny) "What is it, Patrick? Are you all right?"

• (Christian Bale) "Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christie?"
• (Guinevere Turner) "You actually listen to Whitney Houston? You own a Whitney Houston CD? More than one?"
• (Christian Bale) "It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album."

• (Christian Bale) "What's wrong with that? It's totally disease-free."

• (Christian Bale) "Pumpkin, you're dating the biggest dickweed in New York. Pumpkin, you're dating a tumbling, tumbling dickweed."

My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."

• (Christian Bale) "Mistletoe alert."

• (Christian Bale) "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.
