About This Quote
Patrick Bateman, the protagonist in American Psycho, is a young corporate executive who has a very warped view of life. He is so far removed from marriage that he uses the word "marriage" as an adjective to describe serial murder. The concept that marriage must be rebuilt every morning is also strikingly similar to the concept that he should use women as trophies.
