But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer, Bateman, in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said "I love you" to his girlfriend despite her countless requests.

F*** you, Maya. lf you were my friend,|you would've lied.

Syd. Syd, you are at|her going-away party.

lf you don't calm down,|you'll drive me...

...and you, and everyone else,|and her at this f***ing party crazy.

Just say goodbye and let her go,|because she's gone.

She's gone, man.

Line, anyone?

No. No, thank you.|But do you have a cigarette?

l'm sorry.

Light. l'm sorry.

All right, all right, you know what?|l'm gonna go.

-Are you leaving?|-Thank you. Thank you for everything.

-Really.|-Listen, do me a favor.

Don't tell London l'm doing blow|in here. That'll really screw me.

You know, Syd, yeah,|you know, l'll try to remember that.

Maya, l'm serious. Please?

Hey, please tell me you're not doing|coke in my parents' bathroom.

-What?|-l saw you go upstairs.

-Where did you go?|-To the bathroom.

Swear to God, you're not doing coke|in my parents' house.

Oh, my God, l swear to God...

...l'm not doing coke|in your parents' house.

Okay, l'm sorry, darling.

All right.|Have a good time. l'm sorry.

How long were you two together?

Who? Me and London?|Two and a half years.

-You split when?|-Six months and a few days ago.

You're counting, Syd.|Not a good sign, mate.

Why? Why do you say that?

Joking.|l mean, what's the girl's name?

-Maya. Can l have one of those?|-Maya.

Maya.

l'd do some terrible things to her.

She's like an X-rated Barbie doll.

-How old is she?|-l don't know, like 1 6, 1 7.

Seventeen?

-Now l really wanna f*** her.|-You'd f*** a 1 7-year-old?

What, you wouldn't?

lf it's not against the law,|what's the problem?

You can f*** a 1 5-year-old|in France.

Does that make them|all pedophiles?

Right situation, right country,|you'd f*** one too, believe you me.

Right, right. lnternational waters,|deserted island, sh*t can happen.

But if any of my female friends|knew l f***ed a 1 7-year-old...

-...they'd lose it.|-What's the matter with you?

lf we told women a tenth of|the things we think and do...

...do you think we'd ever get laid?

-Like when l asked a girl to piss on me.|-To piss on you?

Yes, mate, but l was on|a horrible amount of X at the time.

Did she piss on you?

Actually, no...

...she pissed in my mouth.

She pissed in your mouth?

lt was not a pleasant experience,|believe me.

How the f*** does that happen?

What is the conversation that leads to|a girl having to piss in your mouth?

lt was a f***ing mistress.

-You paid an S & M chick?|-Many times.

''Many times.''

Listen, it's an expensive hobby,|both mentally and financially.

So, what's the deal?|How does it work?

l don't know if l want|to go there, you know?

Come on, explain it. No one cares.|Did you get your sh*t wet? Me too.

lt's my f***ing Savile Row suit.|lt's f***ing 5 G's.

l've kept it out of the rain all day.|Look at the state of it.

Look, l don't wanna go there.|All right, Syd?

Come on. l'm not gonna tell.

-Why the f*** do you wanna know?|-How does it work?

-You just go over there?|-Look at you, you f***ing dirtbag.

-You brought it up.|-You wanna go there...

...you f***ing go there. Leave my|f***ing demons to myself, mate.

-Where is it?|-Tribeca, you c*nt.

Explain it. How does it work?|You just walk over?

Look, you phone from downstairs...

...and magically they let you in|through these enormous iron gates.

You get all excited.

You get all wrapped up.|You can't wait to get in there.

The whole thought of it just|gets amongst your f***ing veins.

You're into it, you know?

All of a sudden,|they give you a form.

It's a five-page disclaimer|in f***ing triplicate.

And you're like, ''Hold on.|What is this? Paperwork?

l've come here|to get my dick sucked.

l didn't come here to sign forms.''|lt's hilarious.

You don't pay them,|you give them a f***ing donation.

l mean, that is so American, isn't it?|Come on.

And then they give you a list and|a little pencil, like in the sushi bar.

You start checking off the|requirements. Whipping, spanking--

Come on, you f***ing dirty|sh*t-c*nt whore. F***ing whip me!

--nipple clamps, coprophilia.

-What's coprophilia?|-When they sh*t on you.

Sh*t in your mouth.

You can have it in the mouth|or you can have it over a glass table.

Can you imagine? They f***ing|wheel out a glass table and they just...

...sh*t all over it,|and you're just like:

''You dirty b*tch!''

Who the f***|asks for that f***ing misery?

l hope not you.

Yeah, what about me?

Anyway, you know, there's a lot--|l mean, the list is long, mate.

-lnfantilism, you've got--|-What's infantilism?

They make you a baby,|give you a bottle.

Put you in diapers, nurse you,|turn you into an infant.

l mean, it's the sickest,|most twisted place you'll ever go.

l mean, they claw your balls.

They'll tie your cock up|with a shoelace...

...stick truncheons up your ass.|lt's twisted. lt's f***ing twisted.

But l'm telling you,|the moment you come....

The moment you come,|you are so sober.

I mean, so f***ing sober.

You're like, ''What have I just done?|What the f*** have I just done?

I've just paid $2 7 5|for some stranger...

...some chick I don't even know,|to, like, whip me...

...and piss on my head. ''

So where's the upside?|Why do you do it? l don't get it.

Well, on a physical level,|it can be rather pleasurable.

Psychologically-- This is without|getting too deep here.

--l think it has a lot to do|with pain and self-flagellation...

...both literally and metaphorically.

l mean, l don't know whether|it's the culture or what...

...but the English, in general,|are very into pain and spanking.

The English? Really?

Yeah, you're always reading|some story in the papers...

...about some judge or vicar|bent over a hooker's knee.

l didn't know the English|were so f***ed up.

Mate, the English are very...

...l mean, very f***ed up.

Yeah, one sec.

Sweating like a f***ing rapist.

Syd.

Come and have a look at the view.

Yeah. lt's Mallory,|the girl from the bar. l'll hook you up.

-Come back in.|-Who?

Mallory. The girl from the bar.

-She's hot. l'll hook you up.|-No, no, mate, no.

l'm too-- l'm wanked, mate.|l can't be f***ing with girls.

So what? So am l.

l've been drinking this piss.|No, l can't, f*** it.

-l can't operate like this.|-Who cares?

-l'm f***ing dizzy.|-She'll be in and out.

You help yourself to that,|l'm gonna leave.

-lt's been a f***ing pleasure.|-Don't leave.

Please don't f***ing leave.|Go get a drink, come back.

-No, mate, no.|-Bateman, one f***ing drink.

Come right back.|Work Mallory, she's hot.

F*** you. A drink of what?|What do you want?

Anything. A bottle.|Jack, tequila, whiskey.

You're staying, though, right?

-One f***ing drink.|-One f***ing drink.

Fine, fine, just don't go anywhere.|You'll f***ing thank me.

l haven't had a bump|in like three hours.

Bateman, this is my friend Mallory.

Mallory, this is Bateman.

Hey.

You're the guy from the bar, right?

Mallory, yeah?

Bateman.

Nice to meet you.

-Sorry.|-Excuse me.

-What a clumsy idiot.|-Sorry.

Well, how do you guys|know each other?
