Allen, who has been confusing Bateman for a fellow Wall Street worker named Halberstram the entire time, (mixed-up names are a running joke throughout the film, demonstrating the homogeneity of the cold, capitalistic 1980s culture and Wall Street milieu) questions him about the newspapers and finally notices his raincoat, but Bateman just saunters over to his high-tech stereo machine, clicks the play button, and points to the song in a comically smooth, precise manner. He continues to speak in a robotic yet high-energy affectation that reeks of snobbishness. “In ’87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album,” he shouts as the dynamic opening smash of drums and guitars blares.

At the end of the line, “I think their undisputed masterpiece is ‘Hip To Be Square,’” Bateman does a little dance, shimmying back towards where he left his ax. He picks up his ax and continues his monologue, his voice escalating in excitement not only about the meticulous details of Huey Lewis and the News’ artistic merit but also about the fact that he is finally going to murder Allen.
