Is that a raincoat? Yes it is! Pure comedic genius.

[@JustiniusMXIII]

The best part is that he ad-libbed the dancing thing. It wasn't in the script or the original book.

[@ArtyToon]

And in this scene laidies and gentlemen, we see Christian Bale slowly and casualy turn into Jim Carry.

[@jakethemuss3]

"Is that a raincoat?" Yes it is!"

[@themetatron1987]

how he says "yes it is" just makes me laugh.

[@bloodhound223]

Batman kills the Joker.

[@erinburkhart22]

Okay Christian bales sounds like Jim Carrey in Bruce almighty in this movie..

[@setlasmon]

I was hanging out with my friend recently, I brought this movie up and he launches into a startlingly accurate version of this speech. I don't think he nailed every line exactly, but he had the whole thing and it was damned impressive.

[@joesomenumbers]

No joke, I gave the Huey Lewis discography another shot after this movie.

[@Ariez___]

So did I !! Lol

[@IncrediblyStupidName]

this is what could've happened to Bruce Wayne if the trauma from the death of his parents took a... darker turn XD

[@AwfulWaffle8474]

1:08 Check'em

[@creepinwhileyousleepin]

pauls getting reservations at dorsia in heaven now.

[@deftdelivery]

In 87, Huey released this: Four - 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.

[@Vexen4]

And then both went on to win Best Supporting Actor awards.

[@JeroAstra]

Hey, Paul! AAAAAAAHHHH!!!

[@raymondmurphy9330]

Bale based this character on the personality of Tom Cruise

[@SniperSam]

I would've never thought that was Jared Leto. Everytime I saw 30 secs to Mars I kept thinking "man, the lead singer sure looks like the dude in American Psycho"

[@thehardgoodbye1]

Classic man!! Shows, not only Christian Bale's amazing ability as an actor but also the terrifying duality and almost Jeckyl and Hyde nature of the main character. possiably the best movie scene ever! :P

[@DavidThomas1973]

Ive never seen a Rx bottle with such little info on it...lol

[@xxxslash616xxx]

He's doing his best Jim Carrey impression.

[@somedude5817]

That awkward moment when you kill someone with an ax everytime you hear Huey Lewis...

[@zeroa69]

i love how upbeat and chipper he is

[@TheSpaniard19]

That scream though.... GIves me chills so fucking brutal and with no remorse.

[@carlosh2390]

I guess Batman broke his one rule...

[@HamCubes]

"Hey Paul!"

[@abcdefh1992]

Anyone who says he's a shitty actor needs to see this.

[@nypunk]

1:08 check 'em

[@ilovetodance03]

I watched this movie for the 1st time the other night....I will never be able to hear "Hip To Be Square" without thinking about this lol....this movie is so screwy, but funny.....in a really creepy weird way....

[@mityatarasov874]

Patrick BATeMAN

[@kjhuang]

Outrageous!!!! Everyone knows you use a match to light a cigar.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

That will teach him to have a nicer business card!

[@BellaLegosi]

Ah Mr.Bale at his best. After "Newsies" and before "Batman"

[@darkblighttmo]

one of the best scenes ever

[@Mr-ep2qi]

love the way he talks

[@marmiemarmalade8]

This scene probably didn't happen, because Patrick was just imaging it. Remember at the end (SPOILER), the lawyer told Bateman that Paul Allen was alive and he had dinner with him in London. We are witnessing the emotions that he felt.

[@Magn0liafan]

two oscar winning actors right there.

[@harindranvenkatesh]

Fing awesome scene and Bale totally ruled it. Love this film.

[@CaptainPommby]

Is that a raincoat? YES IT IS! :D Have a cookie!

[@messoremmortis1256]

well now we know not to have thickful tasteness and a watermark on our business cards

[@Coreybyrnes1]

I love this part its so classic lol HEY PAUL!

[@usctrojansable]

The Jim Carrey moment hahahaha

[@hackendire]

I love this scene! Is it me or does this remind you of jim carrey a little bit?

[@mtgAzim]

this scene begins at 26:50 in the full film.

[@ClaytonStation]

reminds me of jim carry

[@StoneAlter]

Best song to see someone axed to death. In my opinion anyway.

[@TiaS1978]

Patrick Bateman's a nice guy isn't he?

[@lostndessence]

Im lovin his hair.

[@RunOut1724]

This fucking scene is amazing, i laugh my ass off every time i see this. Bale is the man.

[@jimwells7056]

roger from American dad lol

[@Mr-ep2qi]

I love this scene

[@JesusCristo2002]

Christian Bale in one of the best performances of his carrier (amongst the top five of his life); I don't think it was Mary Harron's direction or adapted screenplay of Ellis' supposed masterpiece that in essence brought the best out of Bale (as a borderline method actor) - but Ellis' book itself - and Patrick Bateman (apparently one of the most psychologically and emotionally complex characters commited to the literary medium). I'm an aspiring filmmaker and I think I can make a better adapation.

[@GJARRS]

Hey Paul! :D

[@Exterlite]

Bale needs to do some more " hip " characters like this lol

[@diehounderdoggen]

I like the part where he checked out his doubles.

[@RuralTowner]

i think he was....Bale could be a stunt double for Carrey...and vice versa almost

[@xtlhogciao]

It'd be so gross if they added the starved rat led into the woman through a habitrail thing part of the book.

[@kllyjrd]

Who says he can't act?

[@TheGunmode3]

Song so catchy

[@Filth.n.fashion]

There's only one argument that I would like to make about this fantastic scene, if Patrick would have beaten Paul with the axe blood would have also splattered on the wall as well and virtually stained it leaving behind evidence that he 'committed' the murder.

[@kllyjrd]

When ever I hear this song I see this scene

[@Bigpimping1b]

Ed Gein would be proud.

[@Cojin89]

1:09 doubles

[@peanutbuttercracker1]

Wow... No dubs comments...

[@KingAceHernandez1291]

dammm it if I was at Patrick bateman house and if he told me you like cannibal corpse then plays hammer smashed face I be like holy shit

[@chefpaddy]

the way he says "catchy" sounded like jim carry.

[@tylershoop8509]

two years later.

[@mymainmanthemonarch]

yes. in the book though, his name is " Paul Owen" not allen

[@Presidential805]

Music To Kill To - "Hip to Be Square"

[@Zoomer30]

Ok is it just me for from 1:08 to 1:28 does it seems like he is channeling Jim Carey? Just crazy. After that well he is just making a mess :)

[@Seracila]

check em

[@rockerhead247]

creepiest scene since that scene from resevoir dogs

[@jaspenowl96]

It is truly hip to be square.

[@ZZenter]

[@djmojo69]

Some Reason while he was talking he reminded me of Jim Carey

[@GnarMarv2]

25 people aren't hip to be square

[@MsGundamace]

[@rebelbrown101]

[@dupofb17]

[@venom2909]

@Zoomer30 i really think jim carry could have pulled this off if he was a little bit more serious than normal

[@terrybenedict8978]

Terry Benedict loves physics
