Psycho (1960) Edit

A baby.

A couple of years and my debts will be paid off.

A girl works for you for 1 0 years, you trust her.

A man should have a hobby.

A man who dresses in women's clothing in order to achieve a sexual change

A maniac, a raving thing.

A psychiatrist doesn't lay the groundwork.

A weighted coffin was buried.

About making a decision and wanting to hurry?

After all, Cassidy, I told you, all that cash!

After he talked to the mother, and he didn't.

After the murder, Norman returned as if from a deep sleep,

All I want to do is see Marion before she gets in this too deeply.

All right, bye bye.

All right, fine. Listen, I. . .

All right, I'll find Bates and keep him occupied.

All right, let's go inside.

All right, yes, you better come over.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Thanks anyway.

All right. What do we do instead? Write each other lurid love letters?

And after he left?

And after the steak,

And because he was so pathologically jealous of her,

And called you to keep you still while he took off after her and the money.

And do little errands for my mother.

And for years the two of them lived as if there was no one else in the world.

And get ourselves a little drinking done. Right?

And he didn't come back? He didn't see the mother?

And he talked her into building this motel.

And he talked her into building this motel.

And he was stopped. So he must have found out something.

And her hair was all wet.

And how it's guaranteed to exterminate every insect in the world,

And I guess I'd just rather stuff birds because

And I never can keep quiet enough for her, so I just thought I'd look you up and talk.

And I say, insect or man, death should always be painless.

And I'd like to go back and try to pull myself out of it

And I'll be back as soon as it's ready.

And in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man,

And it's not as expensive as you'd think. It's cheap, really.

And left early the next morning.

And meanwhile, I'll have my mechanic give yours the once over.

And my sister helping me broil a big steak for three.

And now the other half has taken over,

And report a missing person and a theft, that's what you want to do.

And she doesn't know where Marion is any more than we do.

And she never had an unhappy day in any one of those years.

And she said she had to go to sleep early

And she'll be gone the whole weekend and. . .

And suggest, oh, so very delicately.

And tend the cabins and grounds

And that still wasn't enough.

And the $40,000? Who got that?

And the cruel eyes studying you.

And the dominant personality has won.

And the police haven't been able to. . .

And the way he died. . .

And the young man wouldn't let him see her because she was too ill.

And the. . .

And then Monday morning when you're feeling good. . .

And then she said that she was tired and she had to go right to bed.

And then we're going to search every inch of the place, inside and out.

And there's a couple came by and didn't know that you were open.

And there's hangers in the closet and stationery with Bates Motel printed on it

And they'll say, Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly.

And tomorrow she stands her sweet self up there and gets married away from me.

And under any circumstances, even respectability.

And we'll get him to give us a cheque on Monday instead.

And when he died, too, it was just too great a shock for her.

And when reality came too close,

And you have to pay in advance.

And you'd know, of course.

And, like a dutiful son, covered up all traces of the crime

Any calls?

Anyway, a few years ago, Mother met this man.

Anyway, I hear the expression Eats like a bird

Anyway, it was just too great a loss for her. She had nothing left.

Arbogast!

Arbogast?

Arbogast.

Are you sure you wouldn't like to stay just a little while longer?

Aren't you going to take the pills? They'll knock that headache out.

As if I could do anything except just sit and stare,

At other times, the mother half took over completely.

At times he could be both personalities, carry on conversations.

Bates?

Be with you in a second !

Because birds really eat a tremendous lot.

Because he was going to question Norman Bates' mother, right?

Because me and your boss are going out

Because she had a long drive ahead of her.

Before it's too late for me, too.

Blood ! Blood !

Boy, it's stuffy in here.

But as long as you've fixed a supper, we may as well eat it.

But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder.

But I don't really know anything about birds.

But I know I can't.

But I want to talk to Marion and I want her to tell me

But I'd like it very much if you'd come up to the house.

But if I can see you and touch you, even as simply as this, I won't mind.

But if you had a useless business like this motel,

But it had to be because Arbogast said so, too!

But it had to be because Arbogast said so, too!

But no woman was there and I don't believe in ghosts,

But old habits die hard.

But only at the air, only at each other.

But respectably.

But she could've registered under a different one.

But she's here, in this town somewhere.

But that old woman, whoever she is, she told Arbogast something.

But there's no sense dwelling on our losses.

But they do not tell you whether or not it's painless.

But we don't like the look of that sky.

But when your time is up. . .

But you do manage to look ludicrous when you give me orders.

But, you know, this is the first place that looks like it's hiding from the world.

Buy a new one in a new town where you won't have to hide your mother.

By candlelight, I suppose, in the cheap, erotic fashion

By her employer, I might add.

Cabin One. It's closer in case you want anything.

CALIFORNIA CHARLIE: She look like a wrong one to you?

CALIFORNIA CHARLIE: The only funny thing, she paid me $700 in cash.

CALIFORNIA CHARLIE'S VOICE: Heck, Officer,

Can I trade my car in and take another?

Can see you do. I'm sorry I couldn't make you feel better.

Can you find your way back to town?

Caroline, get Mr Cassidy for me.

CAROLINE: Her sister's going to do that. She's as worried as we are.

CAROLINE: No, Mr Lowery, but then she's always a bit late on Monday mornings.

CAROLINE: Yes, Mr Lowery. LOWERY: Caroline, Marion still isn't in?

Cash, huh?

CASSIDY: Well, I ain't about to kiss off $40,000!

Change your mind?

Clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out.

Come on over to the house and do your reporting around dinnertime.

Come on, Tom. My office is air conditioned.

Come on.

Commit myself?

Did he kill my sister?

Did you check in Phoenix? Hospitals? Maybe she had an accident, or a holdup.

Did you spend the night with her?

Do anything you have a mind to. Being a woman, you will. That yours?

Do we simply ask him where he's hidden it?

Do you go out with friends?

Do you know what I do about unhappiness?

Do you mind if I look at your book?

Do you think if something happened, it happened there?

Don't bother yourself. We'll find it.

Don't worry about it.

Don't you think he'd have called if he had anything at all?

Don't you touch me! Don't! Norman !

Drive me crazy.

Eating in an office is just too officious.

Eighteen years old

Even I couldn't get to Norman and he knows me.

Even treated it to keep it as well as it would keep.

Everyone concerned thought if they could get her to give the money back,

Except that I'm in a hurry and you're taking up my time.

Except you.

Florrie, the Sheriff wants you to connect him with the Bates Motel.

For meeting you in secret so we can be secretive.

For some sort of plea, this fellow would like to cop. . .

Friday anyway, and hot.

Go ahead in, please.

Go out and find yourself somebody available?

Go tell her she'll not be appeasing her ugly appetite

Good morning.

Good night.

Hardly even looked at it. Planning. And even flirting with me!

Have you any unsolved missing persons cases on your books?

Have you ever seen the inside of one of those places?

Have you got some aspirin? I've got something, not aspirin.

Haven't you?

He assumed that she was as jealous of him.

He came after the girl, and now someone will come after him.

He can afford it today.

He could have talked her into anything.

He feels a little chill. Can I bring him this blanket?

He hid the body in the fruit cellar,

He just wasn't answering the door in the dead of night, like some people do.

He left her a little money.

He left her a little money.

He merely tries to explain it.

He only half existed to begin with.

He stole her corpse.

He tried to be his mother.

He wanted her.

He wants practically notarised receipts.

He was always bad,

He was convinced his mother had committed !

He was flirting with you.

He was never all Norman, but he was often only Mother,

He was supposed to come back here and talk to us

He was touched by her, aroused by her.

He wasn't out when you were there,

He wouldn't have gone anywhere

He'd dress up, even to a cheap wig he bought.

He'd walk about the house, sit in her chair, speak in her voice.

He'll be back.

He's a transvestite.

He's lunching with the man who's buying the Harris Street property.

Headaches are like resolutions,

Hello, Lila.

Hello, Loomis. This is Arbogast. Is Lila there?

Hello, Norman? Sheriff Chambers.

Her fire would go out.

Here we are.

Here you are doing all the listening.

High pressure the salesman.

His mother was a clinging, demanding woman,

Hold it there.

Hotels of this sort aren't interested in you when you come in,

How about that?

How could we prove that. . .

How could you even think a thing like that?

How much would it be with my car?

I almost drove right past.

I almost had an accident last night from sleepiness,

I always change the beds here once a week whether they've been used or not.

I am sorry.

I believe I have the necessary papers. Is there a ladies' room?

I bet your mother knows where the money is and what you did to get it.

I buy it off.

I called and pounded but she just ignored me!

I can't believe it. Can you?

I could tell the last time I talked to him on the phone.

I couldn't do that. Who'd look after her?

I did see her some time later, driving...

I didn't intend to sleep all night. I just pulled over. Have I broken any laws?

I didn't mean to pry.

I didn't think the police went looking for people who aren't in trouble.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

I don't even want it in the office over the weekend.

I don't know what you've been saying.

I don't know, creepy smell. Come on.

I don't know.

I don't know. One of us has to be here, in case he's on the way.

I don't set a fancy table, but the kitchen's awful homey.

I don't want any bad word of mouth about California Charlie.

I even know what cabin she was in. It was number one.

I feel I'd like to go up there and curse her and leave her forever.

I figure roughly

I got the whole story, but not from Norman. I got it from his mother.

I grew up in that house up there. I had a very happy childhood.

I guess he must've noticed my wedding ring.

I guess I'll go put this money in the bank and then go home and sleep it off.

I guess it's nothing to talk about while you're eating.

I hate the illness.

I hate the look of beasts when they're stuffed.

I hate what she's become.

I helped Norman pick out the dress she was buried in. Periwinkle blue.

I hope they are watching. They'll see.

I knew you must have.

I know you're not the seeing illusions type,

I know.

I mean, just to be safe.

I mean, out of state licence and all. You got your pink slip. . .

I mean, she didn't have to go to work or anything like that.

I might as well be perfectly honest with you, ma'am.

I never carry more than I can afford to lose.

I only felt. . . It seems she's hurting you.

I see. How did she pay you?

I shouldn't even bother changing the sheets,

I stepped into a private trap back there

I still can't believe... lt must be some kind of a mystery. I can't...

I still won't feel satisfied until I go out there.

I sweat to pay my ex wife alimony,

I sweat to pay off my father's debts, and he's in his grave.

I take it you can prove that car is yours.

I tell you, it's not really a very good picture of her either.

I think if you saw a chance to get out from under, you'd unload this place.

I think only birds look well stuffed because. . .

I think our friend Sam Loomis didn't know that Marion was here.

I think she saw Marion and talked to her.

I think she'll tell us.

I think she's here, Miss Crane.

I think that

I think that would be a rather extreme reaction, don't you?

I think what's wrong is your private detective.

I think you better take it for a trial spin.

I think you'd better come over here to my office, quick.

I thought it was the people who were alone most of the time

I want her to tell us the same thing.

I want sleep more than anything else, except maybe food.

I want you to take a look at my baby.

I was born in mine. I don't mind it any more.

I was in Tucson over the weekend and I haven't heard from her since.

I was just about to myself.

I was only five and it must've been quite a strain for her.

I wish you could apologise for other people.

I wish you wouldn't even come.

I won't have you bringing strange young girls in for supper!

I wonder where Norman Bates does his hermiting.

I'd better sign in and get a receipt.

I'd need a warrant, wouldn't I?

I'd really rather not. Can't we just settle this and. . .

I'll find her. I'll be seeing you.

I'll get the date somewhere.

I'll go on ahead.

I'll just have to pick up the pieces from here.

I'm a private investigator.

I'm always forgetting to turn the sign on, but we do have a vacancy.

I'm buying this house for my baby's wedding present.

I'm going to spend this weekend in bed. Thank you.

I'm in a hurry and I just wanna make a change.

I'm just doubting that you are.

I'm late and you have to put your shoes on.

I'm looking for a private island.

I'm making a mental picture of it in my mind.

I'm not even gonna swat that fly.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be contented here,

I'm not taking the responsibility.

I'm sorry if I seem overanxious.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to sound uncaring.

I'm staying right here.

I'm thinking of it.

I'm tired of sweating for people who aren't there.

I'm very tired.

I've been doing all the talking so far, haven't I?

I've been just fine, thanks.

I've been talking about your mother, about your motel.

I've been trying to trace a girl

I've got some work to do, if you don't mind.

I've heard of married couples who deliberately spend

I've told you there's nothing wrong,

If he sees us, we're just taking the air.

If he's back, he probably isn't even in bed yet.

If I wanted to check the cabins, all 1 2 of them,

If she ever remarries, the alimony stops.

If you do get anything, don't stop to tell me.

If you drag that swamp somewhere in the vicinity of the motel, you'll. . .

If you get anything out of the mother,

If you love someone,

In case you wanna make your friends back home feel envious.

In Green Lawn Cemetery for the past 1 0 years.

In Norman's case, the battle is over,

In quite a hurry.

In that dark, dank fruit cellar? No!

In the building.

Is anything wrong?

Is Mr Lowery back from lunch?

Is really a false. . . Falsity.

Is there anything so terribly wrong

Is your time so empty?

It isn't important what he said on the phone, is it?

It might be nicer and warmer in the office.

It requires patience, temperance, a lot of sweating out.

It'll make it nicer.

It's a strange hobby. Curious.

It's all for you. I'm not hungry. Go ahead.

It's as hot as fresh milk.

It's figuring. It didn't get washed down. Look.

It's just that I'm sure there's something wrong out there and I have to know what.

It's none of my business and then I'll go. . .

It's not as if she were

It's not coming together. Something's missing.

It's possible, this girl could've registered under another name.

It's practically like living alone.

It's right out here on the old highway.

Just an expression.

Just doesn't seem like any use any more, you know.

Just for a few days so they won't find you.

Just for talk?

Just put it in here, please.

Just what he told your detective, she used a fake name.

L'll get it back, and if any of it's missing, I'll replace it with her fine, soft flesh!

L'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me.

Last two days, I've been to so many motels my eyes are bleary with neon,

Least of all my big, bold son.

Least of all my big, bold son.

Left the next day and that was it.

Let them see what kind of a person I am.

Let's just say, just for the sake of argument, that she wanted you to gallantly protect her.

Let's see now, I have a sample of her handwriting here.

Let's see what they say about this one.

Let's sit still and hang on, okay?

Like one of his stuffed birds.

Like what?

Lila, listen. Marion was up here.

LILA: Mrs Bates?

LILA: Sorry about the tears.

Listen, if you don't believe me, come on with me. You can help me change beds.

Listen, we got worries here.

Locally?

Look, if you two are in this thing together, I don't care, it's none of my business,

Los Angeles.

Lowery, I am dying of thirst aroonie.

LOWERY: Buzz me the minute she comes in.

LOWERY: Come in.

LOWERY: No, I haven't the faintest idea.

LOWERY: You better run out to the house.

MAN: Hey!

MAN: Let's all talk about Marion, shall we?

Marie Samuels. That's an interesting alias.

Marion Crane's her real name,

Marion, whenever it's possible, I want to see you.

Marion, will you get the copies of that deed ready for Mr Cassidy?

Marion, you want to cut this off,

MARION: Checking out time is 3:00 p.m.

Matricide is probably the most unbearable crime of all,

May have stopped in the area. Did she stop here?

Maybe he got some definite lead. Maybe he went right on.

Miss Crane, can I ask you a question?

Mmm hmm.

Mmm mmm.

Most unbearable to the son who commits it.

Mother, please, it's just for a few days.

Mother. . . My mother. . .

Mrs Bates poisoned this guy she was involved with

MRS. BATES: And then what, after supper? Music? Whispers?

MRS. BATES: I am sorry, boy,

MRS. BATES: it's sad when a mother has to speak the words

MRS. BATES: Just for a few days?

MRS. BATES: Mother, she's just a stranger. As if men don't desire strangers. As if. . .

MRS. BATES: No! I tell you no!

MRS. BATES: No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar.

MRS. BATES: Norman, what do you think you're doing?

My boss is paying for this trip and, well, it's 90% business.

My hobby is stuffing things.

My mother and I were more than happy.

My mother there?

My mother's doctor gave them to me the day of my wedding.

My name is Arbogast, friend.

My name's Arbogast. I'm a private investigator.

Neither will I. Come on.

No Arbogast, no Bates. Only the old lady at home.

No matter what we're afraid of finding or how much it may hurt.

No, I mean ill.

No, I mean ill.

No, no, he said he was dissatisfied and he was going back there.

No, no, she was standing back there with a sandwich in her hand

No, no, sit down. I don't wanna trouble you.

No, not exactly.

No, not like me.

No, not really.

No, she was seen leaving town in her own car,

No, thanks.

No, that's okay, Norman.

No, you said before that she was sitting back there. . . Standing back there. . .

No, you stay there with Loomis. I'll be back in about an hour.

No!

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. As I told you, she's confined.

No. No, unfortunately, he wouldn't let me see her.

No. That's not necessary.

Nobody ever stops here any more unless they've done that.

Norman Bates no longer exists.

Norman Bates.

Norman Bates' mother has been dead and buried

Norman found them dead together.

Norman took a wife?

NORMAN: All right, there's your receipt. Now, I'll show you the cabin.

NORMAN: Mother, please.

NORMAN: Mother, she's just a stranger. She's hungry and it's raining out.

NORMAN: Mother! Oh, God, Mother!

NORMAN: Now, Mother, I'm gonna bring something up. . .

NORMAN: Please, Mother.

NORMAN: They'll come now, Mother.

Norman.

Not even a phone call.

Not even just to see you? Have lunch, in public?

Not exactly.

Not inordinately.

Nothing. Let's clear the way here.

Now get out!

Now it's yours.

Now that's not buying happiness. That's just buying off unhappiness.

Now, he was already dangerously disturbed, had been ever since his father died.

Now, if this girl, Marion Crane, were here, you wouldn't be hiding her, would you?

Now, that pushed him over the line and he killed them both.

Now, to understand it the way I understood it, hearing it from the mother,

Now, wait a minute, Sam. Are you sure you saw an old woman?

Now, your sister's missing how long?

Of course I'm glad to see you. I always am.

Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?

Of course not. Please.

Of course, I've suggested it myself.

Of young men with cheap, erotic minds!

OFFICER: I better have a look at those papers, Charlie.

Oh, but you should. You should mind it.

Oh, I do, but I say I don't.

Oh, I have to go, Sam.

Oh, I know that. I know you wouldn't lie.

Oh, I see.

Oh, I thought I'd gotten off the main road.

Oh, I'd like to, but. . .

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, I'm all for it.

Oh, not you. My daughter.

Oh, Sam, I hate having to be with you in a place like this.

Oh, Sam, let's get married.

Oh, Sam, this is the last time.

Oh, speaking of feeling good,

Oh, that must be my mother.

Oh, we can see each other. We can even have dinner.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes.

Oh, your sister called to say she's going to Tucson to do some buying

Okay.

Okay. Let me talk to her, please.

One of us can keep him occupied while the other gets to the old woman.

Or at least defy her.

Or do I have to tell her 'cause you don't have the guts?

Or do you already have it socked away?

Or done anything without telling us, unless he was stopped.

Or he felt sorry for me and he was beginning to feel the same way about you.

Or satisfaction is a transvestite.

Otherwise, though, it's just hard work.

Over there.

People always call a madhouse someplace, don't they?

People just come and go, you know.

People never run away from anything.

Probably for all time.

Probably from Norman Bates,

Put her in someplace.

Put it in the safe deposit box in the bank,

Put me down ! Put me down ! I can walk on my own.

Really?

Right next to the office.

Sam !

Sam ! Lady wants to see you.

Sam, he called when he had nothing. Nothing but a dissatisfied feeling.

Sam, he said an hour or less.

Sam, they don't want to prosecute, they just want the money back.

Sam, we have to go into that cabin and search it,

SAM: Bates.

SAM: Did he talk to you?

SAM: Good evening.

SAM: No, I don't think so. An old woman. His mother.

SAM: Now, what thing could we be in together?

SAM: Yeah.

Sam.

Saw the register myself.

Saw the whole place, as a matter of fact. That boy's alone there.

Saying that he'd traced her to that motel out on the old highway.

See, now I'm starting to remember.

See, that used to be the main highway right there.

See, there's nobody.

See, this boy had a sick old mother.

She arrived rather late one night, and she went straight to sleep

She had to raise me all by herself, after my father died.

She isn't quite herself today.

She just goes a little mad sometimes.

She just goes a little mad sometimes.

She left home on Friday.

She may be, well, unable to answer the phone.

She might have fooled me, but she didn't fool my mother.

She needs me.

She said she didn't feel well and wanted to leave early, and I said she could.

She sounded strong.

She was supposed to bank it on Friday for her boss and she didn't.

She was there, but she was a corpse.

She was very hungry and I made her a sandwich

She was. . . She was sitting back there. . .

She'd be alone up there.

She's an invalid.

She's as harmless as one of those stuffed birds.

She's been here searching for her sister. There's this private detective helping and. . .

She's not in any trouble.

She's not missing so much as she's run away.

SHERIFF: At this hour?

SHERIFF: It ain't only local history, Sam.

Sick old lady unable to answer the door, or unwilling.

So far, of those I've used, I haven't had much luck with any of them.

So he began to think and speak for her,

So he had to erase the crime, at least in his own mind.

So I'm gonna treat you so fair and square that you won't have one human reason. . .

So what? It's my private money.

Some figure has been added to or subtracted from 40,000.

Some people even stuff dogs and cats, but, oh, I can't do that.

Somebody chasing her?

Someone always sees a girl with $40,000.

Someone's at that window. I just saw the curtain move.

Someplace. . .

Something that proves he got that money away from Marion somehow.

Something wrong?

Sometimes just one time can be enough.

Sometimes Saturday night has a lonely sound.

Sometimes we deliberately step into those traps.

Sometimes when she talks to me like that,

Strychnine. Ugly way to die.

Suppose we put it in the safe,

Suppose you want a room.

Take it easy. It's just that your girlfriend stole $40,000.

Teddy called me. My mother called to see if Teddy called.

Teddy was furious when he found out I'd taken tranquilisers.

Tell me all about her.

Thank you, Norman.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That condemn her own son,

That explains the private detective. He traced her to the Bates place.

That is, from the mother half of Norman's mind,

That must be the Bates Motel.

That proves Marion was here.

That set off the jealous mother, and Mother killed the girl.

That was the first time I ever saw the customer

That was the last I saw... Oh, wait a minute.

That's been missing for, oh, about a week now from Phoenix.

That's right. That's right. Take your time.

That's the one I'd have picked for you myself.

That's the sooner you stand a chance of your sister being picked up.

That's what I meant when I said I got the story from the mother.

That's what I want you to do something about.

The chemicals are the only thing that cost anything.

The copies. Mr Lowery, if you don't mind, I'd like to go right on home after the bank.

The detective thanked him and he went away.

The laughing and the tears

The mother side of him would go wild.

The Music Makers Music Store, you know,

The private investigator, too.

The rain didn't last long, did it? You know what I think?

The sooner you drop this in the lap of the law,

The swamp. These were crimes of passion, not profit.

The way she spoke to you. . .

The. . .

Then she met a man,

Then took a helping of the same stuff herself.

There are plenty of motels in this area. You should've. . .

There might be some hint that you missed out on.

There must be some proof that exists now,

There's always a conflict, a battle.

There's an old saying. The first customer of the day is always the most trouble.

Therefore, if he felt a strong attraction to any other woman,

These extended lunch hours give my boss excess acid.

They also pay who meet in hotel rooms.

They cluck their thick tongues and shake their heads

They could avoid involving her with the police.

They know I can't even move a finger, and I won't.

They thought she'd be coming to me.

They would've thought this was an old, deserted. . .

They. . . They moved away the highway.

They'll put him away now, as I should have years ago.

They'll see and they'll know,

They're probably watching me. Well, let them.

This detective was there, Norman told him about the girl,

This fellow lives like a hermit.

This is my room and no one will drag me out of it,

This place? This place happens to be my only world.

To get a new business somewhere else?

To the time when Norman murdered his mother and her lover.

Tom, a cash transaction of this size is most irregular.

Twelve, in fact. Twelve cabins, twelve vacancies. Candy?

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

Uh oh !

Wait a minute.

Was she in disguise, by any chance?

We better decide what we're gonna say or do when we walk in there.

We had a couple last week, said if the thing hadn't been on,

We have reason to believe that she came along this way.

We just keep on lighting the lights and following the formalities.

We were gonna try to make it straight to San Francisco,

We'll start with Cabin One.

We're all in our private traps,

We're going to get shown to a cabin,

We're going to register as man and wife.

Well then, how would you know that she didn't make any phone calls?

Well,

Well, $40,000.

Well, a son is a poor substitute for a lover.

Well, anyway, that was early this evening. We haven't seen or heard from him since.

Well, as you say, old habits die hard.

Well, because they're kind of passive to begin with.

Well, doesn't that prove that he found out about the money?

Well, he didn't say anything about the money.

Well, he said that Marion was there for one night and then she left.

Well, he was out when I was there just a while ago.

Well, I did question him, believe me, but I think I got all there was to get.

Well, I did question him, believe me, but I think I got all there was to get.

Well, I don't know what you could expect me to know.

Well, I don't know where to start, except at the beginning.

Well, I run the office

Well, I tell you, I don't even much bother with guests registering any more.

Well, I tell you, I don't feel entirely satisfied. . .

Well, I think there's something wrong too, miss, but not the same thing.

Well, I was, but I think I'll go back to the motel first.

Well, I'll tell you the truth. I didn't really forget to turn the sign on.

Well, if he opens a motel on the new highway in, say, a year. . .

Well, if the woman up there is Mrs Bates,

Well, if you want anything, just tap on the wall.

Well, is Marion in trouble? What is it?

Well, it stopped raining.

Well, it was raining

Well, it's the first time the customer ever high pressured the salesman.

Well, it's. . . It's more than a hobby.

Well, Mr Arbogast, I guess that's about it.

Well, no one's stopped here for a couple of weeks.

Well, now look, if you're trying to lay some psychiatric groundwork

Well, she left Phoenix a week ago yesterday, without a trace.

Well, she may have used an alias.

Well, she was very tired and. . .

Well, she's not back there with the nuts and bolts,

Well, the mattress is soft

Well, then would you do me a favour? Would you have dinner with me?

Well, there's a big diner about 1 0 miles up the road, just outside of Fairvale.

Well, this one wouldn't be a customer, anyway.

Well, this young fella that runs the place said that she just spent the night,

Well, this young fella that runs the place said that she just spent the night,

Well, to tell you the truth, I do mind.

Well, wanna come in and register?

Well, we could laze around here a while longer.

Well, what did he say about my sister?

Well, with a little checking I could get to believe you.

Well, you know, we're always quickest to doubt people

Well, you see, I'm looking for a missing person.

Well, you see, that's exactly my point.

Well, you want me to drop you at the hotel or. . .

What am I supposed to do, just sit here and wait?

What are you running away from?

What are you talking about? What is this?

What do I do with my free afternoon? Walk you to the airport?

What do you know about caring?

What exactly did he say when he called you?

What I meant was I'd do just about anything to get away.

What is it, Marion?

What would you need to get out?

What you need is a weekend in Las Vegas, the playground of the world.

What. . . What was it you wanted to ask?

What's your interest in this?

When danger or desire threatened that illusion,

When he met your sister,

When I send my ex wife her alimony, you can lick the stamps.

When she found out he was married.

When they're buying used cars and that's in a hurry.

When you're married you can do a lot of things deliberately.

Where could he have gone?

Where there's a boyfriend. . .

Where will you get the money to do that, Bates?

Where's that bottle you said was in your desk?

Where's that girl you came here with? Where is she?

Which reminds me. . .

Who are you, friend?

Who did all the talking when they got the chance.

Who have a reputation for being honest.

Why don't you call Norman and let him say just what happened?

Why don't you call your boss and tell him

Why don't you go away?

Why don't you have a look around here

Why don't you just get in your car and drive away from here, okay?

Why was he dressed like that?

Why, I know you don't, because if you did, I wouldn't be able to follow you.

Wife's taking a nap

With my food or my son !

With my. . . With my trusty umbrella.

With the $40,000?

WOMAN: I've tried many brands.

Would you mind looking at the picture before committing yourself?

Wouldn't it be better if you put her

Wow.

Yeah, have you had a fella stop by there tonight. . .

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. All right. See you in about an hour or less.

Yeah. And live with me in a storeroom behind a hardware store in Fairvale?

Yeah. Stay here.

Yes, back in my parlour there.

Yes, I think he would've.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Yes, it's. . . There's nothing wrong with it.

Yes, of course.

Yes, she spent last Saturday night at the Bates Motel.

Yes! In the house behind the motel !

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. And no.

Yes. As I said, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Yes. I didn't intend to sleep so long.

You check in any other place in this country without bags

You checked with the bank, no? They never laid eyes on her, no?

You come down here on business trips, and we steal lunch hours.

You don't do that to them, even if you hate them.

You forget them as soon as they stop hurting.

You get yourself settled and take off your wet shoes,

You have to go back 1 0 years

You hid me there once, boy, and you won't do it again, not ever again !

You know, foxes and chimps.

You know, I. . . I think I must have one of those faces you just can't help believing.

You know, if anyone ever talked to me the way I heard,

You know, if you make a mental picturisation of something. . .

You know, it's tough keeping track of the time around here.

You know, needles and thread, sawdust.

You know, nothing special, just sandwiches and milk.

You know, one by one, you drop the formalities.

You know, sick old women are usually pretty sharp.

You know, sometimes I can keep my mouth shut.

You know, taxidermy.

You know, the oil lease man. That's why he's late. You got a headache?

You look frightened. Have I been saying something frightening?

You make respectability sound disrespectful.

You mean an institution? A madhouse?

You mean that old woman I saw sitting in the window out there wasn't Bates' mother?

You mean you don't want the usual day and a half to think it over?

You must remember that bad business out there about 1 0 years ago.

You never did eat your lunch, did you?

You said that nobody'd been here for a couple weeks,

You see, when the mind houses two personalities,

You still trusting? Hot creepers! She sat there while I dumped it out!

You sure talk like a girl who's been married.

You sure would save me a lot of leg work if you'd let me talk to her.

You think I'm fruity, huh?

You understand, boy? Go on.

You understand, I don't hate her.

You want to come around to my office this afternoon

You want to tell me you saw Norman Bates' mother?

You. . . You eat like a bird.

You. . . You eat like a bird.

You'd know that you were being used.

You'll be happy to know what I think.

You'll never be able to hold him still if he doesn't want to be held.

You're not really gonna go out again and drive up to the diner, are you?

You're taking the rest of the afternoon off?

You're very kind.

You've never had an empty moment in your entire life, have you?

Your detective told you he couldn't come right back

(SIGHS) It's been three. Well, are we just going to sit here and wait?

$40,000? That's right.

$700. You always got time to argue money, huh?

Am I that close to Fairvale? Fifteen miles. I'll get your bags.

And no one has seen her since. Someone has seen her.

Bates. Well, let's find him.

Bust in on Arbogast and the old lady. . . Yes.

But I'm not a fool. Well, I. . .

But my sister is. . . FRED: Yes.

Cash? Cheque? Cash.

CASSIDY: Count them ! I declare!

Crane. Crane. That's it.

Did anyone meet her here? No.

Did he confess to. . . Like I said, the mother.

Did she make any phone calls or. . . No.

Did you two have breakfast? You didn't find anything?

Dirty night. You have a vacancy?

Do you think I've stolen my car? No, ma'am.

Don't miss your plane. Hey, we can leave together, can't we?

Evening. Evening.

Frankly, yes. Please, I'd like to go.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good. You satisfied with your cabin? Oh, it's fine.

He didn't come back here? Sam !

He's a private detective, name of. . . Arbogast.

He's already been. Went out before service.

How early? Oh, very early.

How far is the old highway? You wanna go out there, don't you?

How much? Go ahead.

How you gonna do it? Do what?

Huh, boy? You have the guts, boy? NORMAN: Shut up! Shut up!

I can come down next week. No.

I can take just so much of this. . . Now, take it easy, friend.

I don't know. It's Sunday.

I don't like you going into that house alone. I can handle a sick old woman.

I have a slight. . . You go right on home.

I have the parlour back here. All right.

I haven't even been married once yet. Yeah. But when you do, you'll swing.

I just wanna ask a few questions. No, that's no trouble. Today's linen day.

I just. . . Sick of the sight of it.

I meant well. People always mean well.

I think I've talked to you all I want to. Yes, but just for. . .

I told you to get out, boy. NORMAN: I'll carry you, Mother.

I'll be in the office. Thank you, Mr Bates.

I'll get your bags. Haven't any.

I'll show you the room, then. SAM: First time I've ever seen it happen.

I'll take you to Cabin 1 0. Better sign in first, hadn't we?

I'm going out there. Look, Arbogast said. . .

I'm in no mood for trouble. What?

I'm not the police. Oh, yeah.

I've caused you some trouble. No.

Is anyone at home? No.

Is that her? Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

It'd be too wild a coincidence. . . Bates never denied she was here.

It's not that I don't trust you, but. . . But what?

Left Phoenix under her own steam? Yes.

Let's go see Al Chambers. Who's he?

Look! What is it?

Looks like a bad day coming, doesn't it? Okay.

Maybe I am the seeing illusions type. No, you're not.

Maybe shake her up. Yes!

Mr Arbogast. . . I think I've. . . Just for a moment. I wouldn't disturb her.

No mother? You must have seen an illusion, Sam.

No shower curtain. Sam !

No, ma'am. Then I'm free to go?

No, no, there isn't. Sure, go ahead. Take a look.

No. Thank you.

Of course. Do you feel ill? Just a headache.

Oh, sure. All right.

Oh, sure. Lila. Is Marion here?

Okay? No, thanks.

Only my share. Where are you going?

Our deputy sheriff around here. All right. Let me get my coat.

Over there. The bathroom.

Sam, if she's here. . . She isn't. She isn't.

SAM: That's right. From what?

She stole some money. SHERIFF: A lot?

Shut up! A lot of it. $40,000.

Sit down. Thank you.

so there it is. I still feel that there's something. . .

Spin it around the block. It looks fine.

Stay here. Why can't I go with you?

Sure? Yeah.

That wouldn't be a wise thing to do. Patience doesn't run in my family, Sam.

That's okay, Sam. I brought it with me. Run out and eat it.

That's right. She isn't still here, is she? No.

The next morning. Sunday. I see.

This is Lila Crane from Phoenix. How do you do?

Uncommon, too. Oh, I imagine so.

Wanna check the picture again? Look, I wasn't lying to you, Mr. . .

Well, I'm going. You'll never find it.

Well, is there? Is there what?

Well, is there? Is there what?

Well, of course not. WOMAN: Thank you.

Well, this is not a slur on your manhood. Let's put it this way.

Well? Just coming up to ring for you.

What makes you sound so certain? Arbogast. He liked me, Sam.

What time? Very early. Dawn.

What's that? It's the light. The sign.

Where is she, Miss Crane? I don't know you.

Why do you ask that? I don't know.

Why? Please.

Without calling me? In a hurry.

Would I need a warrant for that, too? Sure.

Yes, miss? I'm Marion's sister.

Yes, sir. Tomorrow's the day, my sweet little girl.

Yes, two. Young girls?

You are alone here, aren't you? Mmm hmm.

You can't go up there. Why not?

You looking for me? Why, yes, as a matter of fact.

You sure talk like a policeman. Look at the picture, please.

You too, Sam. Thank you.

You want some coffee? I was just about. . . No, thank you.

You warm enough, miss? LILA: Yes.
