Wasn't you own sin red enough? You'll burn in hell for this! You'll burn in hell!
Tracy Venable She was crazy, Norman, but she wasn't your mother... Neither are you!
Doesn't scan, does it, Norman? But... a lot of shit here doesn't.
What are you doing with my mother?
Don't you mean mummy? You did a nice job on her, Norman. Fresh as the day she was croaked.
Maureen Coyle You must think I've gone mad.
Oh, no... no. We all go a little mad sometimes.
Get that whore out of my house! Throw her down in the muck and filth where she belongs!
I'll get you for this, mother. I'll get you for this.
You haven't got the guts, boy!
It's lies. It's all lies. Norman, she's a lying whore.
Tracy Venable Norman! Norman, where are you?
She's a slut!
Tracy Venable Norman!
Don't let her talk about me like that!
Tracy Venable Norman! Please, Norman, please listen to me! Norman, Mrs. Bates, whoever your are, damn it, doesn't it make any difference in that demented brain of yours?
Kill her, boy! Get her! Just like the others! Get her!
Tracy Venable Oh! No! Don't! No! Please! Norman, no!
[Norman stabs mother]
Norman! Can't you do anything right? How dare you treat your mother in such... a... way... Norman...
So I don't have the guts, huh?
Put me closer to the window.
Someone will see you, mother.
Are you ashamed of me?
You know why, mother. They've even written about you in the newspapers.
Stop your whining, boy. All this fuss over nothing.
Not nothing. I-I saw her. Even the initials on her suitcase, "M.C." Marion Crane.
Another of your cheap erotic illusions, out of your cheap erotic imagination. You killed her. The slut deserved it. But she's dead, and the dead don't come back.
Y-Y-You came back.
I never went away, don't you know that by now? You can't get rid of me. I'll always be with you, Norman. Always. Stand up straight and wipe your snotty little nose. If the disgusting little whore is going to upset you so much, just get rid of her.
No!
Then maybe I will.
You dirty, dirty boy.
But I... I didn't do anything, mother... I didn't do anything, mother. She a nice girl.
She's a whore.
But we didn't do anything.
You let her come between us.
But this... It isn't right. It isn't natural.
It's perfectly natural for a son to love his mother.
God, will you leave me alone, mother? Will you leave me alone?!
I just want my mother back.
Take her. But you know what I want in return, and you know what i'll do if I don't get it.
I know what you'll do...
You were down there, weren't you mother? Weren't you? I'm glad she didn't die! I'm glad!
She will.
Red Mmm.. Oh, God, don't tell me you're one of those guys who farts, rolls over, and then goes to sleep.
I picked you up in a bar, after one lousy drink! Whaddya want, to get married?
Red You shit-heel! [slaps him]
Look! I gotta get up for work soon, so why you don't just go home, huh?
Red How? You brought me out here.
Here's cab fare. Phone book's on the table.
Red Jesus, you make it all sound so cheap.
It is! But it beats a good vibrator.
Red Yeah? Well, at least a vibrator get me off! [gives Duke the finger]
Jesus, Norman. I wanted to believe it wasn't you. This time, they'll lock you up forever!
But I'll be free. I'll finally be free.
I've had enough of this Nancy Drew horseshit from you.
