I love the entire thought process of this scene. Patrick is a fake from the start, and he believes in his heart that Kimball isn't picking up on it. Kimball, from the start, just wants some basic information, but as the conversation goes on, he begins to 'know' Patrick had something to do with it.

[@GabeSutton21]

The book actually makes pat look pretty guilty during this part, he tries his best to act normal and human but he struggles, especially since he's making everything up as he goes. In the book he talks on the phone for a bit longer before talking to the detective, and as he's watching Kimball look around his office he gets uncomfortable which causes him to stop talking into the phone for sometime before he realizes he's still supposed to be talking and Kimball looks at him strangely. Then when Kimball asks where he went to school, he's much more reluctant to answer and is almost unsure of it because he says it as a question. "He went to yale.. right?" Which makes him look suspicious considering his comment about him being apart of "that whole Yale thing". He is so unorganized in his thoughts that he really isn't sure how he was able to play his way out of this interaction.

Possibly one of the best acted and best written scenes ever filmed. This movie was sheer brilliance.

Dude, these two ... Wow. Amazing actors

[@Sirinwara]

Dafoe is really an amazing actor. Imagine the detective being played by Steven Seagal, Adam Sandler or Nicholas Cage and you'll know what I'm talking about

[@Tallahassee21]

Once you're labeled a character actor. It's hard for people to see that you are even capable of a captivating performance. Nicholas Cage and Adam Sandler are very much capable but so much of what people think are their personalities is what they see when they embody roles they take. Id probably put Steven Seagal I'm that list though, I've yet to see anything he's done in film that would prove otherwise.

[@assrammington7961]

Nice. Let’s see Steven Seagull’s detective Kimbel

[@Brizzo200]

His facial expression when he says thanks.

[@Mma_tips]

Green Goblin when he says Very nice Patrick Bateman 😆

[@benjacques26]
