Plot
Syd (Evans) awakens from the latest in a long series of drug- and booze-fueled benders when he received a phone call from a friend informing him that his ex-girlfriend London (Biel) will be moving away to
California with her new boyfriend in a few days, and that a going-away party is being thrown for her that evening. Although not invited to the bash, Syd decides to attend anyway, bringing along Bateman (Statham), a banker who moonlights as a
cocaine dealer.
Bateman is carrying a large supply of cocaine. After arriving at the party at the condominium belonging to the parents of a club girl Rebecca (
Isla Fisher), he and Syd install themselves in the bathroom, where they snort line after line while guzzling
tequila and discussing philosophical matters regarding love, sex, and emotional pain. For example, Syd was never able to tell London that he loved her, while Bateman is
impotent.
