A Toasted Cheese Sandwich Invitation
Norman Bates:
Would you care to share my toasted cheese sandwich?
Mrs. Emma Spool:
No, thank you. You were expecting me.
Norman Bates:
I was expecting someone. I just wasn't sure who.
Mother:
I'm not sleepy. Put in me in my chair.
Norman Bates:
Yes, Mother.
Mother:
Put me closer to the window, I want to keep my eyes on you. Make sure you don't start playing with filthy girls again.
Norman Bates:
Yes, Mother.
Mother:
Good. Well what are you gawking at? Go down stairs and open the motel! What do you expect us to live on, hope?!
Norman Bates:
No, Mother.
Mother:
Remember, Norman. I'm the only one who loves you. Only your mother truly loves you.

Mary Loomis:
Then who did it?
Norman Bates:
My mother did, she told me herself.
Mary Loomis: [the telephone rings]
Oh, Norman... You're mad, don't you know that? You're mad as a hatter.
Norman Bates:
Should I answer it?
Mary Loomis:
Why bother? It's only my mother. She shouldn't be calling, she should be sitting back and gloating.
Norman Bates:
I better answer it.

Unraveling the Past's Dark Secrets
Mary Loomis:
Jesus! How'd that get in there!
Norman Bates:
After I killed that kid, I used that towel to clean up the mess, and then I stuffed it down there.
Mary Loomis:
Norman, you couldn't have killed that kid. You were locked in the attic.
Norman Bates:
It wasn't locked! You said so yourself.
Mary Loomis:
Norman, stop talking nonsense! I'm telling you, you did not kill anyone.
Norman Bates:
Then how do you explain all this blood?
Norman Bates: [shouts]
Well?!
Mary Loomis:
I can't. I mean... I don't know.

A Request for Phone Use
Mary Loomis:
Can I use your phone again?
Norman Bates:
Sure. Who you're gonna call?
Mary Loomis:
Uh, I just remembered of a girl friend I have in town, well, she's sort of a girl friend, but maybe she'll let me spend the night at her place.
Norman Bates:
I thought you were going to stay here. You're more than welcome stay, there's a free room upstairs.
Mary Loomis:
I don't think that's a good idea.
Norman Bates:
Why?
Mary Loomis:
Look, I don't wanna hurt your feelings or anything, but Myrna talked about you on the diner today. Mrs. Spool told her to shut up but she didn't. She said you've been locked up.
Norman Bates: [upset; Mary nods no]
Did she tell you why? Well, I'll tell you. When I was little, I had a fight with my mother, so I put some poison in her tea, you know. But I'm all right now.
Mary Loomis:
You sure?
Norman Bates:
Sure! Otherwise, they wouldn't give me a job on a diner, would they?
Mary Loomis:
I don't know, it takes a nut to work there.

I guess I'm just nervous!
Dr. Bill Raymond:
Well, that's understandable under the circumstances.
Norman Bates:
Yeah.

Debate on Justice and Responsibility in Psycho II
Lila Loomis:
Are you satisfied, Doctor? Turning a murderer loose on an innocent public!
Dr. Bill Raymond:
Mrs. Loomis, Norman was not convicted of murder, he was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. And since he is no longer insane, he has the right to live a normal life like you and I.
Lila Loomis:
That is legal hocus pocus! And when he murders again, you will be directly responsible!

Debate on Madness and Responsibility
Warren Toomey:
At least, my customers have a good time! What do yours get, Bates, huh? Dead, that's what they got! Dead, murdered by you, you loony!
Sheriff John Hurt:
If you'd seen Mary Loomis at the end, you'd understand. She'd gone mad, even dressed up like Norman's mother. And right up until the end, she was saying Norman was the one who's crazy!
