Clara was my babysitter.
I was only 12 years old,
naive and somewhat trusting.

American Psycho is a novel by Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991.The story is told in the first person by Patrick Bateman, a serial killer and Manhattan investment banker. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while 'some countries deem it so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped', 'critics rave about it' and 'academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern. Finally, the American Psycho script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Christian Bale movie based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of American Psycho. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally tweaking it, so if you have any corrections.
But all that was about to change.
Some babysitters take you to the movies,
or roller-blading in the park.
Mine brought me on a date with
a serial killer.
Patrick Bateman.
Not my idea of a romantic evening.
God, look at her.
All drugged up and tied to a chair.
I knew we should have gone to the movies.
At first, I was scared.
I wanted to get out of there
as fast as I could.
But then..
something came over me.
As soon as I was free,
I got really pissed.
He was about to make a real
mess of my babysitter.
So, I did what many of you would have done,
I took matters into my own hands.
And it changed my life forever.
Is everything all right in there?
-I thought I heard a crash.
-Yes, everything's fine. Thanks.
They foundBateman and his final
victim a few days later.
The FBIquicklyuncovered a psychopath,
and a few extraunsolved murders,
and he became an instant celebrity,
an overnight sensation.
They even wrote a book about him.
Only in America. As for me?
I was never tied to the scene.
And rather than self-destruct,
or spend the rest of my life
on some shrink's couch,
I told no one of what had happened.
I silentlyvowed to devote my life
to stoppingotherpsycho killers.
I couldn't wait to grow up.
The next six years of my life were a blur.
My parentswrote me off emotionally.
My mom became a raging alcoholic,
and my dad was busy fucking the secretary.
Pretty clich, huh?
So, here I am today,
attending the most renowned behavioral
studies program in the nation.
Here they focus on profiling,
the art, craft and science of
tracking serial killers.
The subjectmatteritselfattracts some weirdos.
Hey, Rachael.
But then again, maybe it's just me..
The problem is,
I don't have time for games.
I have got to focus on my work.
-You can do better than that.
-That's what your mama said.
And what can I say?
Studying murderoften brings
out the best in people.
Thought you quit!
Getting into West Washington wasn't easy.
I busted my ass in high school
and maintained a perfect

All this, so I couldstudy with

INT. PASTELS RESTAURANT- NIGHT
An insanelyexpensiverestaurant on the Upper East Side.
The decor is a mixture of chi-chi and rustic, with swagged
silk curtains, handwrittenmenus and pale pink tablecloths
decorated with arrangements of moss, twigs and hideous
exotic flowers. The clientele is young, wealthy and
confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style:
pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armanipower suits.
CLOSE-UP on a WAITERreading out the specials.
WAITER:
With goat cheeseprofiteroles and I also have an arugula
Caesar salad. For entrées tonight I have a swordfish
meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge
breast in raspberrycoulis with a sorrel timbale..
Huge whiteporcelainplatesdescend on very pale pink linen
table cloths. Each of the entrees is a rectangleabout four
inches square and look exactly alike.
CLOSE-UP on variousdiners as we hear fragments of
conversation. 'Is that CharlieSheen over there?' 'Excuse
me? I orderedcactus pear sorbet.'
WAITER:
And grilled free-range rabbit with herbedFrench fries. Our
pasta tonight is a squidravioli in a lemongrass broth..

PATRICK BATEMAN, TIMOTHY PRICE, CRAIGMCDERMOTT and DAVID
VAN PATTEN are at a table set for four. They are all wearing
expensively cut suits and suspenders and have slicked-back
hair. Van Pattenwears horn-rimmed glasses.
The cameramoves in on Bateman as his narration begins:
BATEMAN (V.O.)
We're sitting in Pastels, this nouvelleNorthern California
place on the Upper East Side.
The Waiter sets down platescontaining tiny, elaborately
decorated starters. As he does so we hear Bateman's
description of each of the men at the table.
BATEMAN (V.O.)
You'll notice that my friends and I all look and behave in
a remarkablysimilar fashion, but there are subtle differences
between us. McDermott is the biggest asshole. Van
Patten is the yes man. Price is the most wired. I'm the
best looking. We all have light tans. Right now I'm in a
bad mood because this is not a good table, and Van Patten
keeps asking dumb, obviousquestionsabout how to dress .
VAN PATTEN:
What are the rules for a sweater vest?
McDERMOTT
What do you mean?
PRICE:
Yes. Clarify.
McDERMOTT
Well, is it strictly informal-
American Psycho Musical Script Pdf
BATEMAN:
Or can it be worn with a suit?
McDERMOTT
(Smiling)
Exactly
BATEMAN:
With discreetpinstripes you should wear a subdued blue or
charcoal gray vest. A plaid suit would cal I for a bolder
vest.
McDERMOTT
But avoidmatching the vest's pattern with your socks or
tie. Wearingargylesocks with an argyle vest will look
too studied.
VAN PATTEN:
You think so?
PRICE:
You'll look like you consciouslyworked for the look.
VAN PATTEN:
Good point. Excuse me, gentlemen.
Van Pattenleaves the table. As he does so, a busboy
discreetly removestheirlargelyuntouched plates.
BATEMAN:
Van Pattenlooks puffy. Has he stoppedworking out?
PRICE:
It looks that way, doesn't it?
McDERMOTT
(Staring at retreating waiter)
Did he just take our plates away?
American Psycho Screenplay Pdf
PRICE:
He took them away because the portions are so small he
probably thought we were finished. God, I hate this place.
This is a chicks' restaurant. Why aren't we at Dorsia?
McDERMOTT
Because Bateman won't give the maitre d' head.
(He guffaws)
