AMERICAN PSYCHO
by
Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner
Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis
Fourth Draft
November 1998
INT. PASTELS RESTAURANT- NIGHT
An insanely expensive restaurant on the Upper East Side.
The decor is a mixture of chi-chi and rustic, with swagged
silk curtains, handwritten menus and pale pink tablecloths
decorated with arrangements of moss, twigs and hideous
exotic flowers. The clientele is young, wealthy and
confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style:
pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armani power suits.
CLOSE-UP on a WAITER reading out the specials.
WAITER
With goat cheese profiteroles and I also have an arugula
Caesar salad. For entrées tonight I have a swordfish
meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge
breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale...

(the Batmobile's jet blasts against the) windscreen, SHATTERING
it, the Cop throws his hands in front of his face-
EXT. FREEWAY -- CONTINUOUS
The Cop Car SPINS out of its lane, SLAMMING into the guard
rail as the Batmobile RACES ahead, weaving through traffic.
The Batmobile slides onto a TIGHTLY-CURVING EXIT RAMP...
FLIES off the ramp, JUMPING DOWN onto the frontage road below.
INT. BATMOBILE -- CONTINUOUS
Batman KILLS the lights, running on NIGHT VISION. Rachel's
eyes flicker at the EERIE green view of ghostly trees, her
breathing FASTER and still more SHALLOW.
BATMAN
Hold on. Just hold on.
Batman YANKS A LEVER-
EXT. SMALL TURNOFF -- CONTINUOUS
A ground ANCHOR DIGS into the road, WHIPPING the Batmobile
RIGHT in a HARD TURN, down a small turnoff... the Chopper
LOSES the Batmobile, pursuing Cop Cars BLAZE PAST the turnoff.
