Psycho II
1983
Norman Bates: I don't kill people anymore.
Norman Bates: Would you care to share my toasted cheese sandwich? Mrs Spool: No thank you.
Norman Bates: Just, don't let them take me back to the institution.
Norman Bates: Mary, I'm becoming confused again, aren't I? Mary: Of course not. Norman Bates: (holding the knife) Don't lie to me! Not you! Mary: Yes, Norman... you are becoming confused again.
Norman Bates: Uh, I saw someone! Dr Raymond: Where? Norman Bates: Up there! In that window! Dr Raymond: I haven't had a tenant in the house for years. Norman Bates: I guess I'm just nervous! Dr Raymond: Well, that's understandable under the circumstances. Norman Bates: Yeah.
Dr Raymond: 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.
Mary: Norman, what's wrong? Norman Bates: It's starting again.
Mary Samuels/Mary Loomis: Then who did it? Norman Bates: My mother did, she told me so herself. Mary Samuels/Mary Loomis: Oh Norman... You're mad don't you know that? You're as mad as a hatter. (The telephone rings) Norman Bates: Should I answer it? Mary Samuels/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.
(Mary fishes out a blood-soaked towel from the toilet that overflows with blood) Mary: Eck! 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 that toilet. Mary: Norman, you coudn't have killed that kid. You were locked in the attic then. Norman Bates: It wasn't locked! You said so yourself. Mary: Norman, stop talking nonsense! I'm telling you, you did not kill anyone. Norman Bates: Then how do you explain all this blood? (Mary does not reply) Norman Bates: *Well*? Mary: I can't. I mean... I don't know.
