Patrick Bateman: — There are a lot more important problems than Sri Lanka to worry about.
Timothy Price: — Like what?
Patrick Bateman: — Well, we have to end apartheid, for one, slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless... and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return... to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote
general social concern... and less materialism in young people.
Luis Carruthers: — Patrick, how thought provoking.

And to this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.
— I'm no longer surprised at you knowing only six accomplished women. I wonder at your knowing any.
— Nice parenting.
— Hey, thanks. Are you my therapist? Take a walk.
— My dad is a Taekwondo grandmaster. Coached me growing up. He always used to say: "Only you can beat you".
— Well, my mom is a lounge singer, and she used to say: "Upstage me and I'll beat your ass".
A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
