Business card scene from the 2000 film American Psycho

This satirical drama from 2000 has many funny scenes and this is one I find particularly amusing. The investment bankers of the Wall Street Mergers and Acquisitions firm Pierce and Pierce (an odd name for the place where a serial killer works) including our serial killing protagonist put their shallowness on display when they obsess over who can get a Friday reservation at the trendy restaurant Dorsia, who has the better Valentino suit, and the banality of who has the better business card. Their cards reveal that everyone not only looks alike and has the same expensive haircut but they are all Vice Presidents. Everyone in the room is a Vice President. In fact, it seems to be the embarrassment Patrick Bateman feels about his own business card being surpassed by the card of his friend Paul Allen ("oh my God, it even has a water mark&quot that he kills a homeless man and his dog on his way home that night and then kills his friend.
