    I just noticed... Tim Price and Paul Allen were one of the only ones not "celebrating" and shaking hands, along with his mother, brother, Jean and himself.
    His mother has sunglasses on because "she's heavily medicated" or she's crying.
    Jean is obviously upset bc she feels love for him, and is helpless in this situation.
    Paul Allen absolutely stands stoic the entire time, and is not acknowledged, as if he weren't there... and Tim Price does the same just behind him until he finally goes up to pat Patrick's shoulder, a gesture of sorrow or sympathy, but is also unseen by everyone, and Bateman himself doesn’t even acknowledge him, as if he weren't there.
    If they were there, Price and Allen were the only two men who might've actually understood what Bateman was going through in that moment.

    “Someone has already taken out a Minolta cellular phone and called for a car, and then, when I'm not really listening, watching instead someone who looks remarkably like Marcus Halberstam paying a check, someone asks, simply, not in relation to anything, "Why? " and though I'm very proud that I have cold blood and that I can keep my nerve and do what I'm supposed to do, I catch something, then realize it: Why? and automatically answering, out of the blue, for no reason, just opening my mouth, words coming out, summarizing for the idiots: "Well, though I know I should have done that instead of not doing it, I'm twenty-seven for Christ sakes and this is, uh, how life presents itself in a bar or in a club in New York, maybe anywhere, at the end of the century and how people, you know, me, behave, and this is what being Pat rick means to me, I guess, so, well, yup, uh..." and this is followed by a sigh, then a slight shrug and another sigh, and above one of the doors covered by red velvet drapes in Harry's is a sign and on the sign in letters that match the drapes' color are the words THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.”

    I just noticed that Patrick's mom is wearing sunglasses.
    "Your brother and mother are already here. She refuses to take off her sunglasses. I'm worried she hates me!"

    Just saw a production of this in Chicago recently (my friend played Mrs. Bateman!) and this song has stuck with me. Gorgeous. So sad this show didn't get its due when it was on Broadway, but am grateful I finally got to see it here in Chicago.

      Walker was the first I saw in the role on Broadway, To me Matt Smith seems off. Although I do enjoy his version of Not An Exit as well. I guess it's just who you hear first in the part.

    • @MichaelGondry

    Absolutely phenomenal. Gotta say though the only way this could be better is that if the confetti that gets thrown was red instead of white. Still, this is superb.

    (Spoken)
    In the end no one is safe,
    Nothing is redeemed
    And yet I am blameless
    As I come face to face with the truth.
    A truth.
    (Sung)
    Maybe this schism is just a symptom
    Of late capitalism
    (A saviour's died and risen)
    Of worlds that wouldn’t listen
    To their own collapse.
    Even if this story
    Is overwrought and gory
    It’s not a fable, it’s not an allegory
    No cautionary tale, no momento mori
    Or a vague perhaps.
    Maybe you’ve been slaughtered
    Maybe you've been kissed
    Either way means nothing
    I simply don’t exist
    Look at what’s been done here
    Judge it how you wish
    I am all alone here
    I am a solipsist
    This is what we come to
    What we have become
    I am not a person
    Known to anyone
    All the doors are tried and tested
    Know that this is not an exit.
    Am I just a version of the end of days?
    Am I just an effect of a modern phase?
    Am I just the end point of the grand parade?
    Should we be afraid?
    Maybe you’ve been slaughtered
    Maybe you’ve been kissed
    Either way means nothing
    I simply don’t exist
    Look at what’s been done here
    Judge it how you wish
    I am all alone here
    I am a solipsist
    This is what we’ve come to
    What we have become
    I am not a person known to anyone
    All the doors are tried and tested
    Know that this is not an exit.
    None of this exists for me
    This is all a fantasy
    There is no future here
    There is no history
    None of this is real
    It's not a reality
    None of this exists for me
    There is no consistency
    There’s only entropy
    And even though I’ve tried and tested
    (I) Know that this is not an exit
    Now.
    (Spoken)
    I am 27 years old living in New York City at the end of the century.
    This is what being Patrick Bateman means to me.

    Both Smith and Walker are fantastic in the role, however very different. Smith plays it more straight whereas Walker adds more emotion to it. It just depends on taste I suppose.
