Bateman Quotes in The Wizard (1989)

Bateman: Jimmy just picks up his little lunch pail. What is in that thing? And off he goes. He can go anywhere: downtown, the canyons, the river...

Christine Bateman: He doesn't go to the river! He never even goes near the river!

Bateman: Okay, he stays away from the river. But I'm telling you anytime, I mean he could just pick up and go, The Happy Wanderer at the stroke of midnight, if he feels the urge, in the middle of his Frosted Flakes. "I've got the neighborhood on red alert and I'm putting the cops on overtime!"

Bateman: Personally, I'd much rather regret something I'd done rather than something I was too afraid to do.

Bateman: I am sweating like a fucking rapist.

Bateman: You know, they say the greatest conversation you'll ever have is with a stranger?

Syd: Who says that?

Bateman: Some useless cunt.

Bateman: I'm sweating like a rapist

Bateman: Life's too short to be pussy.

Bateman: Motherfucker, you wanna know what it is? Pain, my friend is when the woman you love wants to fuck you four, five times a night and you can't!

Syd: Why?

Bateman: Why? Why? I'll tell you why, because I'm an impotent man! Motherfucker, that's pain! That's fucking pain! When your wife wants to fuck you four times a night and you fucking can't! You know that some fucker before you could. And you know that some fucker after you will! Well, I couldn't cope with that, could I? That sense of ruination. That insolvency that burns in your soul. I couldn't fuck my wife! Do know what that fucking means, mate? Do you understand what impotent rage really is?

Syd: I'm sorry.

Bateman: You're sorry? Oh, you're sorry, are you? You dare, you fucking dare ask me if there's a God? Well, man, I feel forsaken! I feel cheated, you cunt! I've lost in the big game, and nothing else fucking matters. It doesn't matter what you do. If you can't hack it in the sack, mate, if you can't hack it in the game of love and sex, then you are shit, my friend. Because you can't do what the other man can do to your fucking wife, mate!

Syd: I know what you mean.

Bateman: No, motherfucker, you do not know what I mean! You couldn't possibly know what the fuck I mean! I failed. I fucking failed, mate. And I'm still failing every fucking day of my life! Every day. Every fucking day.

Bateman: [while Fighting] Come on, then, you fucking slag! You cunts! Fucking niggers!

Bateman: Fucking cunt! You fucking piece of shit cocksuckers!

Bateman: [while getting whipped by S&M chicks] Come you fucking... shit, cunt, whore... FUCKING WHIP ME!
