Patrick Bateman and his wealthy coworkers dramatically compare increasingly elaborate business cards in a boardroom, with Bateman admiring the typography, coloring, thickness, and watermark. Timothy Bryce’s progressive card unexpectedly outclasses Bateman’s polished card, leaving him sweating and horrified; it parodies the famous business-card scene from American Psycho. The tense whispered dialogue is underscored by dark, suspenseful electronic music, making the absurd status competition feel like a psychological thriller. The song is “Wolf vs Goblin” by Iko the Rainman.

Are they just lying? Is that a gram? New card. What do you think? Oh, very nice. Look at that. Picked them up from the printers yesterday. Good coloring. That's bone. And the lettering is something called cillian braille. It's a very cool bait, but that's nothing. Look at this. Egg shell with Ramalian type. What do you think? That is really super. How do knitwit like you get so tasteful? I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patton's card to mine. But wait, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Raise lettering. Pale Nimbus. White. Impressive. Very nice. Mmm, let's see Paul Patton's card. Little off-way coloring. A tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark. Something wrong? Patrick? You're sweating.
