Thousands of roses and lots of chocolate truffles. Godiva, and oysters in the half-shell.

[narrating]

I'm trying to listen to the new Robert Palmer tape, but Evelyn, my supposed fianc?e, keeps buzzing in my ear.

Evelyn

Annie Leibovitz. We'll get Annie Leibovitz. And we'll have to get someone to videotape. Patrick, we should do it.

Do what?

Evelyn

Get married. Have a wedding.

No, I can't take the time off work.

Evelyn

Your father practically owns the company. You can do anything you like, silly.

I don't want to talk about it.

Evelyn

Well, you hate that job anyway. Why don't you just quit? You don't have to work.

Because I want...to fit...in.

I don't think we should see each other any more.

Evelyn

Why? What's wrong?

I need to engage in homicidal behaviour on a massive scale. It cannot be corrected but I have no other way to fulfill my needs.

Evelyn

What about the past?

We never really shared one.

Evelyn

You're inhuman.

No... .I'm in touch with humanity.

I don't think we should see each other.

Evelyn

But your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends. I don't think it would work. You have a little something...

I know that your friends are my friends and, uh... I thought about that. You can have'em.

Evelyn
[Just after breaking up]

Where are you going?

I am just leaving.

Evelyn

But where?

I have to return some videotapes.

I think, um, Evelyn, that we've, uh, lost touch.

Evelyn

Why? What's wrong?

My need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale cannot be corrected, but, ah, I have no other way to fulfill my needs. I'm **** serious. It's **** over, us, this is no joke. I don't think we should see each other anymore.

Evelyn

But your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends. I really don't think it would work. [fusses with his collar] You have a little something...

I know that your friends are my friends and, uh... I've thought about that. You can have 'em.

What about the past? Our past?

We never really shared one.

Evelyn

You're inhuman.

No...I'm in touch with humanity. Evelyn, I'm sorry, I just, uh...You're not terribly important to me.
