Quotes5

  • Norma Louise Bates: Norman, no matter what, this'll become public. And it'll be in all the papers. Everyone in town will know about it. Who is going to book a room in the "rape-slash-murder" motel?
  • Norma Louise Bates: Norman, this is our chance to start over.
  • Norman Bates: Maybe some people don't get start to over. Maybe they just bring themselves to a new place.
  • Norma Louise Bates: This is the part where you say, "Mother, this is beautiful. I am so happy we're moving here. You are so smart to have thought of this.""
  • Norman Bates: Mother, this is so beautiful. I'm so happy you're making me move here. You're so smart to force me to do things I have no say in.
  • Norma Louise Bates: You're an ass.
  • Norman Bates: Mother, are you sure we shouldn't call for help?
  • Norma Louise Bates: No one's ever going to help us, Norman. No one's ever helped us.
  • [last lines]
  • Norma Louise Bates: What's important is, we're together. And as long as we're together, nothing bad can really happen. Right, Norman?
  • Norman Bates: Right, mother.
