It really is precious how Jean is one of Patrick's only connections to an honest and meaningful side of humanity. It makes his desperation that much more real.
This is genuinely really sad as he reaches out to Jean as a cry for help but can’t directly say it. She’s the only person he knows that doesn’t allow herself to be clouded by the superficiality and materialism of New York. The bummer is that Patrick just doesn’t know how to be like her. All he knows is conforming, even though he clearly hates most aspects of what that lifestyle entails.
I think you're correct about this. This also explains his reaction when she wanted to go to Dorsia. He was furious that she wanted to eat at the same trendy restaurant as the rest of his circle.
What's great about this scene is that Paul Allen has a cellphone, while this peasant has to use a public phone booth. Truly well done showing the raw emotion of recognizing this difference.

Patrick Bateman's classic recipe for blowing off work....(in no particular order) gobble down 20 pills, call your secretary while half-crying/breathing hard, tell her you need help, confusingly imply that you're done with life, snort/cry/laugh, call your secretary a dumb bitch, ask her an existential question--laugh, holler Nancy Reagan's famous quote "JUST SAY NO," laughingly reprimand your secretary for her concern/sadness, and close with screaming at the deity of your choice. After your call, go drinking with friends. Best movie scene of all-time!
The way this scene plays out in the novel is wild. Patrick is losing his damn mind and spends the day shop lifting, buying random items, purchases two rats to torture but ends up leaving them in a store, yelling at the waitress in a deli, and throwing up.
@@deletedaccount5733 nice; I wish I could get over that; but surely will not. Just like no matter how many times I have presented a project in front of everyone, it still feels like Im held at a gunpoint. Lol

With most of Bale's characters being dead serious, it's amazing seeing how crazy he acts in this movie. But in a way, that's what makes him so perfect for the role, because Bateman takes himself so seriously.

Read the book. He's not having a panic attack, he's having a migraine/withdrawal from all the dr*gs he does.
