Explain the business card scene in American Psycho and why it's funny
In the movie "American Psycho", the business card scene is a memorable moment where the main character, Patrick Bateman, becomes obsessed with the quality of his colleague's business card. The scene takes place at a business meeting, where Bateman and his colleague, Luis Carruthers, compare their business cards. Carruthers has a simple business card, while Bateman's is more luxurious and has raised lettering and embossing.
