* Chapter 20, A Glimpse of a Thursday Afternoon, starts in media res (and in the middle of a sentence) with Patrick at a phone booth having some sort of mental breakdown. The entire chapter is him stumbling around Downtown New York, delirious and panicking. His ways of trying to calm himself include buying rats to torture later (which he forgets at another store), shoplifting a can of ham to eat out of the tin and.puking it back up, and finally wandering into a Jewosh deli (that he mistakes for a high-class restaurant that he has a reservation for) and trying to order a burger with cheese and a milkshake, only to be told repeatedly that they only serve kosher dishes. He finally gets angry and leaves, with the chapter ending mid-sentence as he continues his delirious journey.

*** Paul’s total obliviousness to the red flags that he’s about to be murdered and Patrick’s enthusiastic admissions to them really sell the absurdity of the entire scene. In particular, when Paul asks if Patrick is wearing a rain coat (so Paul’s gore doesn’t splash on Patrick’s pristine suit), Patrick gives a giddy “Yes, it IS!”
