Can you lay claim to true financial geekery without being something of a Patrick Bateman fan? (Perhaps even a closeted one?) Depending on your answer, you may or may not consider turning American Psycho into an 80′s musical. Like it or not, however, that’s what’s heading your way. Don’t despair though. The project is just early enough to be killed off yet. Music rights from the likes of Huey Lewis and the News and Phil Collins have not yet been secured. Add a few lines to the anti-anti-short rule you are sending your Congressperson, why don’t you?

    Seriously? Take the A to Pratt. He’ll be the one on the corner with a vibrant sweater and baseball cap with the lid turned up.

    @13, I’m not sure, but I’ve heard more stupid questions in the last 2 days from these clowns. Washington is frightening.

    Look at that subtle off-white coloring.
    The tasteful thickness of it…
    oh my God, it even has a watermark.

    “I don’t even understand why you [got laid off] there anyways. Doesn’t you Dad practically own the place?”
    “Because I want to fit in.”

    I’m certain between everyone on DB we could recite every line in the movie verbatim, with relative ease (ahem # 7)

    For those of you who are a fan of my movie I suggest you also purchase Whitney’s Houston’s newest album, Crack Pipe Monologue. It’s an emotional collection of soothing melodies and inspirational lyrics that reminds us that while we all may have a rough exterior, being emotional is still human.
    If you’ll excuse me, I have to return some videotapes…

    Any word on Pierce & Pierce associate numbers this year?

    Worst.Idea.Ever.
    I do not want to see Clay Akin or Lance Bass as Patrick Bateman! My fantasy will be ruined!!!!!! Wall Street is not a musical! Wall Street is Entourage on Crack.
