Howard, it's Bateman. Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer, so I think you should know I've k**ed a lot of people.
Some escort girls in an apartment uptown, uh, some homeless people, maybe five or ten, an N.Y.U. girl I met in Central Park. I left her at a parking lot behind some doughnut shop. I k**ed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun. And-And-And some man, s-s-some old f*ggot with a dog. Last week, I, uh, I k**ed another girl with a chainsaw. I had to. She almost got away. And someone else there, I can't remember, maybe a model...
She's dead too.
And, uh, Paul Allen. I k**ed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't wanna leave anything out here. I guess I've k**ed maybe... 20 people.
Maybe 40!
I have tapes of a lot of it.
Some of the girls have seen the tapes.
I even, um...
I ate some of their brains...
and I tried to cook a little.
Tonight, I, uh, I just had to k** a lot of people!
And, um... I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time.
So, uh, I mean, I guess I'm a pretty, uh...
I mean, I guess I'm a pretty sick guy.
So, if you get back tomorrow, I may show up at Harry's Bar.
So, you know...
Keep your eyes open.
