Fight Club Scene 29 Summary

  • Time for a montage of guys trying to complete Tyler's homework: start a fight and lose.
  • Jack decides to start his fight with his boss.
  • He goes into his boss's office and says, "We need to talk."
  • Jack threatens blackmail, and tells his boss to keep him on payroll as an "outside consultant," getting paid for nothing like consultants everywhere.
  • His boss fires him and calls security, so Jack punches himself in the face. You read that right: himself.
  • Jack repeatedly punches himself, knocking himself into a glass coffee table and shattering it.
  • While beating himself, he says "For some reason, I thought of my first fight, with Tyler." Then throws himself into a bookcase.
  • Covering in glass and beating all over the place, Jack crawls up to his boss just as security comes in. "Please don't hit me again!" he cries.
  • That's one way to blackmail someone.
