A scene from Psycho 1960
Tom Cassidy

Yeah, tomorrow's the day! My sweet little girl -- [He leers over at Marion] -- Oh, oh, not you -- my daughter, a baby. And tomorrow she stands her sweet self up there and gets married away from me. I want you to take a look at my baby. Eighteen years old, and she never had an unhappy day in any of those years!

George Lowery

Come on, Tom. My office is air conditioned.

Tom Cassidy

You know what I do about unhappiness? I buy it off. Are, uh, are you unhappy?

Marion Crane

Not inordinately.

Tom Cassidy

I'm buying this house for my baby's wedding present. Forty thousand dollars, cash! Now that's not buying happiness. That's just buying off unhappiness. [waves money in front of Marion] I never carry more than I can afford to lose! Count 'em.

Caroline

I declare!

Tom Cassidy

[staring at Marion]

I don't! That's how I get to keep it!

George Lowery

Tom, uh... cash transactions of this size! Most irregular.
