How Many Hours A Week Did Patrick Bateman Work??

He seemed to have a lot of free time doing crossword puzzles in the office, dropping off sheets at the drycleaners in the middle of the day, returning video tapes and of course slaying ladies (literally) in his spare time. No way he was putting in more than 20-30 hours tops! Or is this the whole premise of the movie that it was all just his imagination..... could it be perhaps that in reality that it was all just some sort of psychotic hallucination cause by sleep deprivation as he was cranking out perpetual triple digit weeks??

StryfeDSPThat would've been the worst to be the associates/analysts that worked under Bateman.
I bet his analysts got murdered

Mr.SaxmanHis dad practically owns the company...he can do whatever he wants

But he wants to FIT IN.

I'm on the verge of tears by the time I open this thread, since I'm positive there won't be a decent post. But there is, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave.
