The narrator fell asleep at work. The phone rings, he answers it "compliance and liability." He's got an email from is boss letting him know he'll be getting a formal review in two weeks. He is Joe's complete lack of suprise. The phone call is Tyler saying come downstairs there's some guys waiting for you. He can smell gasoline on his hands. He gets into a cadilac with four other guys. The driver starts yelling a bunch of Tyler's dogma and swerves into oncoming traffic. All the cars swerve out of the way as they drive into oncoming traffic. He demands everyone say what they wish they'd done before they die. The insinuation that if they don't he'll kill them all. Narrator says he wish he'd quit his jobs. The toher three answer are get a tattoo, ride a horse, build a house. Driver starts steering to safety and narrator decides he should die. So he takes the wheel and steers back into oncoming traffic. The driver bashes his head against the wheel to get control and steer them back to safety. There was a cake and the narrator wakes up with his head in said cake.
ch 19 pg 148
Driver tells narrator he just had a near life experience. But they got work to do. 4 human sacrifices and they gotta pick up fat for soap. They go to a medical waste dump and steal fat left over from liposuctions.
ch 20 pg 151
Narrator is pressing a gun against the head of Raymond Hessel. This is part of a human sacrifice. He's gotta bring back 12 drivers licenses to Tyler to prove he did 12 human sacrifices. Raymond Hessel works at a minimart. Narrator was waiting for him when his shift ended. He takes Raymond's wallet. His whole 14 dollars. A picture of his mom and dad narrator makes him look at with a gun in his face. Raymond K Hessel who lives in a crappy basement apartment starts crying. He demands Ray tell him what he wants to be when he grows up. Raymond, who's 23, says he wants to be a vet. He takes his ID and gives him his wallet back. He says he's gonna check back. If he's not back in school trying to become a vet, he will kill him. So this is a human sacrifice. You act like you're going to kill someone to motivate them to change their life in a possitive way.
Ch 21 pg 156
Narrator is doing his job. Flying around to look at the cars that people have died in. He goes to these bars on the road and they're all fight club bars. Beat up guys with broken noses and stitches around their eye sockets. He asks about Tyler and is told they've never heard of him... ...Sir. He seems to be really developing a friendship with Marla. He calls her when he's on the road to talk to her about what's going on at the Paper street house. He goes to a bar in Seattle and the bartender says welcome back sir. He's never been to this bar. He asks about Tyler and the bartender says you stopped in last week Mr. Durden. IT"S HAPPENING!!!! Narrator is in disbelief as the barteneder is telling him about all this fightclub business. Until the barteneder tells him about the foot birthmark. Only Marla knows about the foot birthmark because he told her about it durring the cancer scare. Bartender says everyone in Project Mayhem knows about the foot birthmark.
Narrator calls Marla to ask if they've ever had sex. She calls him a piece of shit and a flake. She tells him they met at testicular cancer support group and then he saved her life. He asks her what her name is and she says his name is Tyler Durden.
ch 22 pg 162
He tries to sleep. He's not very good at it. Counting sheep, thinking about Ireland, none of it works. He just lies there wishing he could sleep. Then Tyler is there and narrator asks if Tyler has been following him. Tyler says he was gonna ask the same thing. Tyler reminds Narrator that he promised not to talk to other people about him and he broke that promise. When Narrator sleeps Tyler runs off and does things. Project Mayhem is all over now. Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Washington DC, big time project mayhem in Chicago. The first rule is you don't talk about fight club.
The Seattle police comissioner was going to shut down fightclub in Seattle. Narrator asks what Tyler did about it. Tyler says, what did we do about it? Tyler talks about how there is no you and me anymore. You get that right ? We share a body but at different times. What they did about the police comissioner is cut off his testicles. Not really, but the had him held down and a knife and totally could have. But instead they cut the rubber bnad they had wrapped around them, cutting off all feeling. They don't expect any fight club crack down.
That was a homework assignment. These homework assignments, they bring these fight clubbers into project mayhem.
Tyler tells narrator that if he tries to shutdown Tyler in any way, he'l pay for it. Don't get any smart ideas like taking a handful of sleeping pills or chaining yourself to the bed or anything.
ch 23 pg 169
Narrator goes back to the paper street house and talks to Marla. He tries to take her to a resturant to get some privacy so they can talk. He orders two coffees. Unfortunately, the waiter is a project mayem guy. He tells narrator everything he wants is on the house, SIR. So Marla orders all sorts of stuff. Narrator specifies "clean" food and waiter says, in that case no Clam chowder. Marla wants to know why the special treatment? Narrator says it's cause he thinks he's Tyler Durden. At which she says, you are Tyler Durden. Then he goes and explains the whole multiple personality thing and how he needs Marla to keep him awake because if he falls asleep, Tyler will take over. In the circumstance that he does fall asleep, he needs Marla to follow Tyler around so that when Narrator takes over again, maybe he can undo some of the damage Tyler has done.
ch 24 pg 176
Big Bob is dead. He was doing a homework assignment. Something that's so common they have a name for it. Chill and drill. You spray coolant into lock. Then you destroy the lock and then pump in something amusing like lube or pudding or whatever amuses you the most. Hammer and chissel is a common way to break the lock. But the more popular way is with a handheld drill. Hense the chill and drill. Big Bob was using a drill. The cops thought it was a gun so they shot him.
He is now imortalized in fight club and project Mayhem. His name is Robert Paulson, his name is Robert Paulson.
Narrator goes to fight club to shut it down. He tells them fight club is cancelled. They don't respond to him. They just state the rules of fightclub. Then they ask him to clear the fighting area for the first fight. Then they grab him and throw him out. Fight club moves on without him.
ch 25 pg 181
They go to hide out at Marla's place. But Project Mayhem knows they're there because the guy working the front desk is project mayhem. They're trying to come up with ideas of other places to go. Bowling alley is open all ngiht, probably a project mayhem guy there that wouild let htem bowl for free. Marla has an idea, with all these people giving him free stuff, maybe they go on a bit of a shopping spree. Narrator says forget about it. But she's gotta run and save herself. Cause he likes her. She says "not love?" and he's like "don't push it."
ch 26 pg 184
Narrator goes to work. He sees the third floor, his floor, has been blown up. He knows how it was done. You dril a hole into the top fo a computer monitor. Pour in some Napalm. Seal it up. When someone turns on that monitor. Big explosion. He doesn't get off the bus. Just takes it to the end of the line cause he doesn't know what to do with himself. The bus driver pulls out a sandwhich to eat. Narrator is thinking about his options. He's not sure what to do. That decision kinda gets made for him when he realizes that there's twenty people on the bus and they've all got shaved heads. This is a project mayhem buss. They've come for him because he tried to shutdown fight club. They were told, if ANYONE tries to shut down fightclub, even Tyler, they've gotta get his nuts. So that's what they're doing. They're gonna grab him and they're gonna cut his nuts off. He tries to dive out a window. But Bus windows are hard to dive out of. They get a hold of him to drag him back in. He feels his shoes and pants come off. Now he can feel the sharp metal window cutting into his stomache. He starts trying to do the blarney stone meditation thing where he's not there anymore so he can't feel his pain.
ch 27 pg 192
He comes to and he still has his balls. He's back in his old burned out shell of an apartment. Fifteen stories up. He's thinking about his space monkey life. Follwoing orders. He considers jumping to his death. Why not? Marla, she loves him. He at least needs to tell Marla to get out. It's his fault she's in this. If she needs to be saved, he should save her. He goes down to the lbby. The doorman who never liked him when he lived here says Good Evening Mr. Durden. He calls Marla and tells her to meet him where they first met. They meet at the bowel cancer support group in the basement of first methodist. Marla's very angry with narrator. She knows he killed someone. She's called the cops and they'll be here any minute.
Narrator isn't too worried about the cops cause most of them are project mayhem. He tries to explain that it's Tyler that killed his boss. She's not talking about that. She followed him to a murder mystery party and she saw him shoot a guy. All the cancer support group people are facinated. Narrator says Marla needs to run. He's going to go take care of Tyler.
ch 28 pg 198
Patrick Madden was the guy Tyler shot. He's the Mayor's special envoy for recycling. Narrator goes to fight club and he declares he's gonna fight everyone. All fifty fights that night are him and another guy. This is suicide via fight club. As he's getting destroyed fight after fight he's remembering things Tyler did. Specifically shooting Patrick. Patrick's wife said the blood looked too red. But then Patrick didn't get up and she told him to stop being dead. He didn't.
ch 29 pg 202
Narrator wakes up and Tyler is there. They're in the paper street house and it's been emptied out. Tyler talks about their death scene. At the top of the tallest building. Taken over by prject mayhem. some floors are burning with smoke pouring out the windows. Others have project mayhem guys in them throwing things out the windows. Tyler drags him out to a waiting car that takes them to the Parker MOrris building. Narrator knows the building will be blown up in ten minutes. He knows this because Tyler knows this.
Marla shows up with a bunch of support group people. At this point he's on the roof holding the gun in his own mouth while people are telling him not to do it. She says she came here to save him because she likes him too. He says she likes Tyler. Nope, she can tell the difference and she likes him. He pulls the trigger.
ch 30 pg 206
Narrator says he's dead now. He's in heaven. The angels have a strict organization and they bring him food on a tray with a cup of pills. God asks him what he remembers. He says he remembers everything. Not jsut what he used to remember, but what Tyler remembered too. He calls Marla from heaven. He asks her to tell him every little thing. The angels, they come to him with black eyes or a swollen forehead and says we miss you Mr. Durden. We're looking forward to your return. Everything is going to plan.
