Fight Club Scene 24 Summary

  • Making soap is disgusting.
  • Tyler and Jack sneak into a liposuction clinic and steal bags of fat sucked from humans. One of them rips on the barbed wire and pours out all over the place. Ewwww.
  • Back at the house, Tyler boils and strains the fat to make tallow.
  • He skims off some glycerin, which can be used to make nitroglycerin, which can be used to make dynamite.
  • Because making soap is so romantic, Tyler kisses Jack's hand.
  • Then he dumps lye on it. Jack's skin sizzles beneath the painful chemical burn. Okay, this has nothing to do with romance, unless it's a chemical romance
  • Tyler gives a speech about enlightenment through pain, and not needing God, and hitting rock bottom.
  • All Jack can think is:
  • Aaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaiiiii!
  • After his little speech, Tyler pours vinegar on Jack's hand to neutralize the burn.
