Character Study: David Van Patten

David is another member of the foursome group of friends that include himself, Bateman, Price and McDermott. He, even more so than the others, seems smart enough to make it to where is today, but not smart enough to progress any further. He's has a vested interest in one's clothing, doing drugs, and "hard bodied" women (attractive females).  He's an alcoholic, drinking at all hours of the day, and seems to have no regard for what others think about it. He's a perfect candidate to be a good friend of Bateman.
