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.

[Mary fishes out a blood-soaked towel from the toilet that overflows with blood]
Mary : Jesus! How'd that get in there?
Norman Bates : After I killed that kid in the cellar, I used that towel to clean up the mess, and then I flushed it down there.
Mary : Norman, you coudn't have killed that kid. You were locked in the attic.
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 : [shouts] WELL?
Mary : I can't. I mean... I don't know.

Sheriff John Hunt : Are you sure neither one of you heard anything between four to five this afternoon?
Norman Bates : No, I was...
Mary : [cutting Norman off] He was with me all afternoon. We were walking in the fields behind the house around that time.
Sheriff John Hunt : Okay. Nice to see you again, Norman.
[the sheriff and his deputy walk out. Mary closes the front door and watches them walk away]
Norman Bates : [to Mary; bewildered] Why did you do THAT?
Mary : Do what?
Norman Bates : Lie to the sheriff. You weren't with me all afternoon!
Mary : I had to do something! He was going to arrest you!
[Norman suddenly holds his head in pain, and slumps down into a nearby armchair]
Mary : Norman, what's wrong?
Norman Bates : It's starting again.
-
Mary : Then who did it?
Norman Bates : My mother did, she told me so herself.
Mary : Oh Norman... You're mad, don't you know that? You're as mad as a hatter.
[the telephone suddenly rings]
Norman Bates : Should I answer it?
Mary : 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 : You could stop stuffing bloody towels in toilets and peering through peep-holes in the wall.
Lila Loomis : What are you talking about?
Mary : The things you're doing to Norman.
-
Mary : [to Norman] Look out behind you!
-
Mary : You really wanna know what Norman's like?
Warren Toomey : Yeah.
Mary : Better than you'll ever be, fat boy.
-
Norman Bates : He said it was you and your mother. Is that true, Mary?
[the telephone suddenly rings]
Norman Bates : I wonder who that could be.
Mary : I don't know.
Norman Bates : Don't you?
-
Norman Bates : Just don't let them take me back to the institution, all right?
Mary : [cradling Norman] Don't worry, Norman. I won't.
Norman Bates : You smell good.
Mary : I do?
Norman Bates : Yeah.
Mary : What do I smell like?
Norman Bates : You smell like... like the toasted cheese sandwiches.
Mary : What?
Norman Bates : That my mother used to bring me when I was in bed with a temperature. She used to do lots of nice things for me before she went... before she became...
Mary : Shh. Just remember the good things she did for you. Only the good things.
Norman Bates : I can't. They're not there anymore.
Mary : Of course they're there!
Norman Bates : No, the doctors took them all away. Along with everything else.
[crying]
Norman Bates : Except... except those sandwiches.
-
Mary : Everything Dr. Raymond said was true. My mother and I were trying to drive you crazy again. I stopped, only she won't.
Norman Bates : Well, why did you stop?
Mary : It wasn't right for us to be doing what we were doing to you.
Norman Bates : Is that the only reason?
Mary : What do you mean?
Norman Bates : [smiles] You know what I mean.
-
Mary : [to Lila] I think there's someone else in the house.
-
Norman Bates : Where did you get that gun?
Mary : Uh... my mother gave it to me.
-
Mary : Do you know what it's like trying to sleep in a one-room apartment when a couple's making love five feet from you?
Norman Bates : Noisy?
-
Mary : Can I use your phone again?
Norman Bates : Sure. Who you're gonna call?
Mary : 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 to stay, there's a free room upstairs.
Mary : I don't think that's a good idea.
Norman Bates : Why?
Mary : 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] Did she tell you why?
[Mary nods no]
Norman Bates : 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 : You sure?
Norman Bates : Sure! Otherwise they wouldn't give a job on a diner would they?
Mary : I don't know, it takes a nut to work there.
-
Norman Bates : Are you alright?
Mary : Of course, I'm alright? Will you please leave me alone.
Norman Bates : Look, I don't know what happened but I own a motel not too far from here, and you'd be welcome to spend the night in one of the empty rooms if you'd like.
-
Mary : [to Norman] Norman, it couldn't be your mother. It had to be someone else.
-
Mary : Well, what do you think?
Dr. Raymond : About what?
Mary : About what Norman's doing. Has he told you his plans for the place?
-
Mary : [to Norman] Is something wrong, Norman?
