Jean: Are you dating anyone?
Patrick Bateman: Maybe. I don't know... Not really.
Paul Allen: This is really a beehive of, uh, activity, Halberstam. This place is hot, very hot.
Patrick Bateman: Listen, the mud soup and the charcoal arugula are outrageous here.
Paul Allen: Yeah, well. You're late.
Patrick Bateman: Hey, I'm a child of divorce. Give me a break.

Patrick Bateman: Hmmmm, I see they've omitted the pork loin with lime Jell-O.
Patrick Bateman: [looks across the room] Is that Ivana Trump over there? Jeez, Patrick, I mean Marcus, what are you thinking? Why would Ivana be at Texarkana?
Patrick Bateman: Wasn't Rothschild originally handling the Fisher account? How did you get it?
Paul Allen: Well, Halberstram, I could tell you... but then I'd have to kill ya.
Craig McDermott: }: I'm not really hungry, I just need to have reservations somewhere.
Patrick Bateman: Hamilton, have a holly-jolly Christmas.
Timothy Bryce: God, I hate this place. It's a chick restaurant. Why aren't we at Dorsia?
Craig McDermott: Because Bateman won't give the maitre d' head.
[Bateman chuckles sarcastically and flicks a toothpick at McDermott]
Patrick Bateman: Jean, I'm not going to make it... I'm not going to... make it... to the office this afternoon.
Jean: [alarmed] What is it, Patrick? Are you all right?
Patrick Bateman: Stop sounding so fucking... sad! *Jesus*!
Donald Kimball: I just have some questions about Paul Allen and yourself.
Patrick Bateman: Coffee?
Donald Kimball: No, I'm okay.
Patrick Bateman: Apollinaris?
Donald Kimball: No, I'm okay.
Patrick Bateman: Can you bring Mr...?
Donald
Kimball: Kimball.
Patrick Bateman: Mr. Kimball a bottle of Apollinaris. It's no problem.
Patrick Bateman: So, what's the topic of discussion?
Donald Kimball: I'm sorry. I should've made an appointment. Was that anything important?
Patrick Bateman: Oh, that? Just mulling over business problems, examining opportunities, exchanging rumors, spreading gossip.
Timothy Bryce: He makes himself out to be a harmless old codger, but inside... inside...
Patrick Bateman: [voice-over] ... "but inside" doesn't matter.
Craig McDermott: "Inside," yes, "inside... " - believe it or not, Bryce, we're actually listening to you...
Timothy Bryce: Come on, Bateman, what do you think?
Patrick Bateman: Whatever.
