You Are What You Wear
Duncan Sheik

EVELYN:

This is a big birthday for Patrick, Courtney, so thank you for helping me co-host.

COURTNEY:

Anything for you, Evelyn. You look to die for.

EVELYN:

Thank you, Courtney.

I want blackened, charred

Mahi mahi.

Works so well

With Isaac Mizrahi.

COURTNEY:

I'll have soda,

And crème de menthe.

Tastes so good

With Oscar de la Renta.

EVELYN:

The ginger mango soy black bass

Compliments the beige Bill Blass

I will not touch

A drop of red wine

BOTH:

Don't wanna ruin the Calvin Klein.

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali

Should I rock

The Betsey Johnson

Or stick with classic

Comme des Garçon

No parachute

Or Fiorucci

I'm with Prada

I'm with Gucci

When one goes shopping

It's best to take care

As some of us know

You are what you wear.

EVELYN:

I will try on

These Maud Frizon

COURTNEY:

I think I'll go

To Ferragamo

EVELYN:

I don't know if

I'm such a fan

Of your purple suede Charles Jourdan.

BOTH:

But let's be clear,

There's nothing ironic

About our love of

Manolo Blahnik.

No, there's nothing

Remotely ironic

About our love of

Manolo Blahnik.

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali

Should I rock

The Betsey Johnson

Or stick with classic

Comme des Garçon

In a certain kind of neighborhood

You might get away with Vivian Westwood

But by von Furstenberg we swear

It's a wrap

You are what you wear.

EVELYN:

Hello?

JEAN:

Hi, Evelyn? I have Patrick for you.

EVELYN:

Patrick, are you getting excited, birthday boy? Now, listen, your brother and mother are already here - she won't take off her sunglasses, she refuses to say anything - I'm worried she hates me, Patrick.

PATRICK BATEMAN:

No, she doesn't, she's just heavily medicated. Listen, can we add Paul Owen to the mix?

EVELYN:

What? Add who?

PATRICK BATEMAN:

Paul. Owen. Read my lips: it's for work.

EVELYN:

No, you are not screwing up my dinner party with your latest neurotic obsession.

PATRICK BATEMAN:

He's coming, Evelyn! I invited him, it's my birthday dinner.

EVELYN:

I will not have an odd number at my table, Patrick! This isn't Brooklyn!

PATRICK BATEMAN:

Well, invite someone else. Can't Courtney bring Luis?

COURTNEY:

Luis is flying back from Phoenix tonight.

EVELYN:

Luis is unavailable.

PATRICK BATEMAN:

Fuck sake, Evelyn, it doesn't matter. I'll bring Jean. Jean, are you still on the line?

JEAN:

I am.

PATRICK BATEMAN:

So, do you have plans tonight?

JEAN:

No, nothing I couldn't change, but Patrick, look, I -

PATRICK BATEMAN:

Perfect, then you'll come to Evelyn's.

JEAN:

What do I wear?

PATRICK BATEMAN:

What you have on is... Acceptable.

JEAN:

What am I supposed to do?

PATRICK BATEMAN:

Simple recon, Jean. Find out how a douchebag like Paul Owen managed to score the Fischer account.

CHORUS:

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali

Should I rock

The Betsey Johnson

Or stick with classic

Comme des Garçon

No parachute

Or Fiorucci

I'm with Prada

I'm with Gucci

Missoni, Versace,

Which one is best?

The guys just buzz,

Do I look underdressed?
