Norman BatesMary, I'm becoming confused again, aren't I?
MaryOf course not.
Norman Bates[holding the knife]Don't lie to me! Not you!
MaryYes, Norman... you are becoming confused again.

Lila LoomisAre you satisfied, Doctor? Turning a murderer loose on an innocent public!
Dr. RaymondMrs. 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 much of a right to his own life as you and I.
Lila LoomisThat is just legal hocus pocus! And when he murders again, you will be directly responsible!
Norman BatesWhat kind of motel are you running here?
Warren ToomeyThe kind that makes money. People come here to party. They stay for a few hours and then they leave. What more can you ask for a motel so far off the beaten track?
Warren ToomeyHey, you can't fire me. I was hired by the hospital to...
Norman Bates[interrupting]The state has no claim over me or my property anymore... and neither do you. I want you out of here first thing tomorrow.
Warren ToomeyYeah, well why don't you try putting me out, Mr. Wacko?
Norman BatesI woun't have to. I'll just go to the police. I'm sure they'll be very intrested about what's going on here. Especially the drugs. Tomorrow, Mr. Toomey. And don't rent out anymore rooms in this motel! Not any more.
[exits]
Warren Toomey[shouting at Norman walking away]At least my customers have a good time! What do yours get, Bates? Huh? Dead! That's what! Murdered by you, you loony!

MaryYou could stop stuffing bloody towels in toilets and peering through peep-holes in the wall.
Lila LoomisWhat are you talking about?
MaryThe things you're doing to Norman.

Norman BatesHe said it was you and your mother. Is that true, Mary?
Norman BatesYou smell like... like the toasted cheese sandwiches.
MaryWhat?
Norman BatesThat 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...
MaryShh. Just remember the good things she did for you. Only the good things.
MaryLook, 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.
Mrs. SpoolCome on, I'll introduce you to Mr. Statler.

Lila LoomisYour Honor, I have a petition here signed by 743 people against Norman Bates' release, including the relatives of the seven people he murdered. Doesn't that give me the right to speak out?
JudgeHas the district attorney advised Mrs. Loomis about her rights on this matter?
Dr. RaymondYes, Your Honor. I explained to Mrs. Loomis that her petition had no effect on these proceedings.
JudgeDid you explain to her that this hearing is a matter of law and not of motion?
Lila Loomis[to the courtroom spectators]Why are you all just sitting here? Don't you realize that they're gonna release a homicidal maniac from the asylum?
JudgeMrs. Loomis, I'm going to ask you to sit down before I have the bailiff remove you from this courtroom. If you have any further questions, please discuss someone with the district attorney after this hearing.
Lila LoomisWhy bother? It's all too obvious. Our courts protect the criminals, not their victims.
MaryOf course, I'm alright? Will you please leave me alone.
Norman BatesLook, 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.
Sheriff John Hunt[to Norman]There's a girl sitting in my squad car below... too scared to come up here. She claims she saw her boyfriend murdered in your cellar today... by a tall figure wearing a black dress.
