Got the workprint DVD in the mail today and just watched it - many thanks again! I can confirm that there are loads of slightly extended scenes in the workprint, about every 4th scene has an extra couple of lines of dialogue, and a lot of the montages and bridge scenes of New York etc. inbetween scenes are much longer. It's a shame the quality isn't great so the footage could be instered back into the main film without it looking really awful, as some of the extra dialogue is great. For example the second time Detective Kimble comes to Bateman's office he starts of by saying "I actually came her to see Timothy Bryce but he's off on a leave of absense" Bateman: "Yeh he went into re-hab".

A couple of the scenes which are extras on the DVD are in this cut also - the "reciprical tip" clip when Bateman is doing Courtney and she has a spat about the sype of condom. This scene comes right after the one where Bateman tries to throttle Lewis in the restroom and Lewis thinks he's gay. Right after this Courtney scene is a montage of NYC at night, then a car driving, and it cuts to the "Never Date A Vassar Girl" limo clip (which I assumed was cut from the club scene before) then into the 2nd nightclub scene, a montage of dancing and the scene of Bryce and Bateman doing coke in the toilets.

One other short clip that's missing is right before Bateman calls Jean near the end of the film and is breaking down you see him spinning around in a revolving door three times, stumble out and bang into a guy on the street excalim something like "Peterson! See you at Fluties!" smash his briefcase off the wall repeatedly, then smack into another pedestrian. It's a pretty funny clip. I'll see about listing all the differences in the near future when I check this out again.

Now I know where 2 of the 5 deleted scenes go I'm pretty certain where to put the other 3, so if someone is into doing this project then I could tell them where the inserts are and even send them this workprint and tell them which scenes are extended to put on the DVD as deleted/extended scenes of too poor quality to go back into the film. If anyone is interested let me know.
