California Charlie: It's the first time the customer ever high-pressured the salesman. I figure roughly... your car plus seven hundred dollars.Marion Crane: Seven hundred dollars?California Charlie: You always got time to argue money, huh?
Dr. Fred Richmond: No. I got the whole story - but not from Norman. I got it - from his mother. Norman Bates no longer exists. He only half-existed to begin with. And now, the other half has taken over. Probably for all time.Lila Crane: Did he kill my sister?Dr. Fred Richmond: Yes, - and no.
Norman Bates: It's not like my mother is a maniac or a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?Marion Crane: Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough.
Sam Loomis: You mean the old woman I saw tonight wasn't Mrs. Bates?Sheriff Al Chambers: Now wait a minute, Sam, are you *sure* you saw an old woman?Sam Loomis: Yes! In the house behind the motel! I called and I pounded, but she just ignored me!Sheriff Al Chambers: You mean to tell me you saw Norman Bates' mother?Lila Crane: It had to be - because Arbogast said so too. And the young man wouldn't let him see her because she was too ill.Sheriff Al Chambers: Well, if the woman up there is Mrs. Bates... who's that woman buried out in Greenlawn Cemetery?
