Fight Club question (is bugging me) - Spoilers

So, Im thinking about the scene in which the narrator is talking on the phone to the arson detective downstairs, while Tyler is having sex with Marla upstairs. This is going on at the same time. Where is the maincharacter actually? Downstairs on the phone, or upstairs with Marla?

That is a good question.

Watch it again. The sounds from upstairs stop as soon as he picks up the phone (meaning he is upstairs doing the no-pants dance and imagining himself in the kitchen).

I would assume if both events are happening that night that they weren't happening at the same time but his mind made it so he thought they were.

The book is better. Sorry off the main topic, although it looks like your question was already answered.. But you should definitely read the book.Minishdriveby
