"Let's see Paul Allen's card" | American Psycho (4K)

Wall Street, the 80s. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) sits at a conference table with his fellow stockbrokers. He removes a silver case from his pocket. One of his colleagues leans across, smirking. "Is that a gram?" "New card. Whaddya think?" Bateman slides his card across the table; it&off-white, with the words PATRICK BATEMAN: VICE PRESIDENT centred and embossed in black. The assembled party gasp in admiration. "Very nice." Bateman leans back in his chair. "Picked &up from the printers yesterday." "Good colouring." "That&bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Grail." Another broker interrupts. "It&very cool, Bateman, but..." He whips out his card, laying it next to Bateman&on the table. Off-white with the words ROBERT VAN PATTEN: VICE PRESIDENT centred and embossed in black, it is basically indistinguishable. "Egg shell, with Roman." Bateman smiles bitterly. "Nice." Now a third broker pulls out his card. It looks exactly like the first two, except it reads TIMOTHY BRICE: VICE PRESIDENT. "Raised lettering, pale nimbus." "Impressive", Bateman mutters. "Let&see Paul Allen&card." The room falls silent as the third broker produces an absent colleague&card. Bateman speaks in voiceover. "Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness." His face creases in horror. "Oh my God. It even has a watermark."
