![]() ![]() VAN PATTEN What are the rules for a sweater vest? McDERMOTT What do you mean? PRICE Yes. Right now I'm in a bad mood because this is not a good table, and Van Patten keeps asking dumb, obvious questions about how to dress. BATEMAN (V.O.) You'll notice that my friends and I all look and behave in a remarkably similar fashion, but there are subtle differences between us. As he does so we hear Bateman's description of each of the men at the table. The Waiter sets down plates containing tiny, elaborately decorated starters. The camera moves in on Bateman as his narration begins: BATEMAN (V.O.) We're sitting in Pastels, this nouvelle Northern California place on the Upper East Side. They are all wearing expensively cut suits and suspenders and have slicked-back hair. PATRICK BATEMAN, TIMOTHY PRICE, CRAIG MCDERMOTT and DAVID VAN PATTEN are at a table set for four. ![]() Our pasta tonight is a squid ravioli in a lemon grass broth.ĬLOSE-UP on porcelain plates containing elaborate perpendicular desserts descending on another table. ![]() "Is that Charlie Sheen over there?" "Excuse me? I ordered cactus pear sorbet." WAITER And grilled free-range rabbit with herbed French fries. ![]() CLOSE-UP on various diners as we hear fragments of conversation. Each of the entrees is a rectangle about four inches square and look exactly alike. Huge white porcelain plates descend on very pale pink linen table cloths. For entrées tonight I have a swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale. WAITER With goat cheese profiteroles and I also have an arugula Caesar salad. CLOSE-UP on a WAITER reading out the specials. The clientele is young, wealthy and confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style: pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armani power suits. 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. An insanely expensive restaurant on the Upper East Side. ![]()
