\nVoice-over: On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everybody drops to zero.
\nNarrator: Stop! What are we doing? Come on! God!
\nTyler Durden: Hands behind your back. Give me your wallet.
\nThe clerk, now kneeling, hands him his wallet.<\/a>
\nTyler Durden: Raymond K. Hessel. 1320 South East spanning apartment A. Small cramped basement apartment, Raymond?
\nRaymond K. Hessel: How did you know?
\nTyler Durden: ‘Cause they give shitty basement apartments letters instead of numbers. Raymond, you are going to die.
\nRaymond begins to cry. Tyler examines content of the wallet.<\/a>
\nTyler Durden: Is that your mom and dad? Mom and Dad are going to have to call up kindly Doctor So-and-so. Pick up your dental records. Wanna know why? Because there’s gonna be nothing left of your face.
\nNarrator: Oh come on, come on.
\nTyler Durden: An expired community college student ID. What did you study, Raymond?
\nRaymond K. Hessel: S-stuff.
\nTyler Durden: Stuff? Were the mid-terms hard? I asked you what you studied!
\nRaymond K. Hessel: Biology mostly.
\nTyler Durden: Why?
\nRaymond K. Hessel: I don’t know.
\nTyler Durden: What did you wanna be, Raymond K. Hessel? The question, Raymond! Was “What did you want to be”?!
\nNarrator: Answer him, Raymond! Jesus!
\nRaymond K. Hessel: Veterinarian, veterinarian.
\nTyler Durden: Animals.
\nRaymond K. Hessel: Yeah animals and stuff.
\nTyler Durden: And stuff, yeah I got that. That means you have to get more schooling.
\nRaymond K. Hessel: Too much school.
\nTyler Durden: Would you rather be dead? Would you rather die? Here, on your knees in the back of a convenience store?
\nRaymond K. Hessel: No, please no!
\nTyler takes his gun down, takes out Raymond’s driver’s license throwing the wallet in front of Raymond.<\/a>
\nTyler Durden: I’m keeping your license. I’m gonna check in on you. I know where you live. If you’re not on your way to becoming a veterinarian in six weeks, you will be dead. Now run on home.
\nRaymond gets up and runs into the night.<\/a>
\nTyler Durden: Run Forrest, run!
\nNarrator: I feel ill.
\nTyler Durden: Imagine how he feels.
\nNarrator: Come on, this isn’t funny! That wasn’t funny. What the fuck was the point of that?!
\nTyler Durden: Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel’s life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.
\nVoice-over: You had to give it to him. He had a plan. And it started to make sense in a Tyler sort of way. No fear, no distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
\nTyler throws gun to Narrator who opens the barrel to find no bullets inside.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTyler Durden: Where’d you go psycho boy?
\nNarrator: I felt like destroying something beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbout
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 A stylized version of our IKEA present. It is talking about very simple concepts. We’re designed to be hunters and we’re in a society of shopping. There’s nothing to kill anymore, there’s nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 We wanted a title sequence that started in the fear center of the brain. When you hear<\/a> the sound of a gun being cocked that’s in your mouth, the part of you brain that gets everything going, that realizes that you are fucked – we see all the thought processes, we see the synapses firing, we see the chemical electrical impulses that are the call to arms. And we wanted to sort of follow that out. Because the movie is about thought, it’s about how this guy thinks. And it’s from his point of view, solely. So I liked the idea of starting a movie from thought, from the beginning of the first fear impulse that went, Oh shit, I’m fucked, how did I get here?
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 David Fincher Gavin Smith goes one-on-one with David Fincher (1999) Interview with Film Comment magazine, October\/November 1999 issue
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 The movie is not that violent. There are ideas in the movie that are scary, but the film isn’t about violence, the glorification of violence or the embracing of violence. In the movie, violence is a metaphor for feeling. It’s a film about the problems or requirements involved with being masculine in today’s society.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Violence shouldn’t be presented as drama. I think people looking for an easy way out often write scenes where characters come into violent conflict as opposed to looking for the true drama in the situation. That’s a shortcoming of a lot of films and television shows. I think certain presentations of violence are not immoral, but amoral.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 I find it amoral if you’re making a movie where the problem is solved with a guy standing in the back of pickup truck firing a machine at the bad guys. The morality of it is questionable because the repercussions of violence are incredibly far-reaching.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 I do like movies that take a toll on the audience. I want to work the subconscious. I want to involve you in ways in which you might not necessarily want to get involved. I want to play off those things that you’re expecting to get when the lights go down and the 20th Century Fox logo comes up. There’s an audience expectation and I’m interested in how movies play with–and off–that expectation. That’s what I’m interested in.
