Norman Bates:

Norman Bates:
It's just a dream, Dylan.

Dylan Massett:
You wouldn't want to actually hurt anybody though, would you?

Norman Bates:
Of course I wouldn't want to. I've never wanted to hurt anyone. Except you once in a while.

Dylan:

Norma Louise Bates:
Norman, this is our chance to start over.

Norman Bates:
Maybe some people don't get start to over. Maybe they just bring themselves to a new place.

Norma:

Summer:
[gossiping in the girl's room] She would never have sex with someone like that.

Jenna:
Ugh, no way. She can't be that stupid.

Emma Decody:
[emerging from a stall] Well, maybe you better talk to her. Because she did.

Summer:
I don't think you know what we're talking about.

Emma Decody:
Actually, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Bradley had sex with Norman. Sex, as in carnal-back-and-forth. Maybe she has sex with all her pets, I don't know. But you should really get your facts straight before you shoot your mouth off with your demeaning opinions. And you've got toilet paper on your shoe...

Sheriff Alex Romero:

Norma:

Kennedy talking to Norman & Bradley:

Norma : I’m just a little concerned that you seem obsessed with, uh… morbidity or something. I mean, you spend your days equally mooning over a dead teacher and taking apart dead animals – it’s just weird!

Bradley & Norman:

Norma : “Why do crazy people keep gravitating towards me?”

Bradley:

Norma: Norman, no matter what, this’ll become public. And it’ll be in all the papers. Everyone in town will know about it. Who is going to book a room in the “rape-slash-murder” motel?

Dylan:

Norma : I’m just kissing you. The way I’ve kissed you a thousand times before. Because I love you.

Bradley & Norman:

Norman Bates:
Mother, are you sure we shouldn't call for help?

Norma Louise Bates:
No one's ever going to help us, Norman. No one's ever helped us.

Dylan:

Dylan Massett:
Do you live up here?

Jodi Wilson:
No, I'm taking you up here to kill you. [a straight face, then laughs]

Zack:

Mother: Pretending to be dead isn’t nearly as fun as I thought it would be!!

Dylan:

Emma:

Norman:

Norma:

Norma:

Zack:

Norma : Alex, that was the hardest part. Things will be better now.

Dylan:

Norman: “One of us has a problem, and I’m sick of the assumption that it’s me.”

Romero:

The artificiality of a scripted drama doesn't hold a candle to true crime.

Norma:

Mother: Pretending to be dead isn’t nearly as fun as I thought it would be!!

Keith:

Norman: Tragedies don’t make sense that is why they are so horrible.

Norman:

Norman: I'm not confused. I think for the first time in a long while I'm actually starting to have some clarity.
Mother: Nothing like a crazy person announcing their own clarity.

Dylan:

Norma Louise Bates:
This is the part where you say, "Mother, this is beautiful. I am so happy we're moving here. You are so smart to have thought of this.""

Norman Bates:
Mother, this is so beautiful. I'm so happy you're making me move here. You're so smart to force me to do things I have no say in.

Norma Louise Bates:
You're an ass.

Norma:

Norma:

Cody Brennan:
[ringing up his groceries] You're doin' errands for your mom. Aren't you a dying breed.

Norman Bates:
Yeah. I guess we're all doing that, too.

Cody Brennan:
What?

Norman Bates:
Dying. I mean, once we're born, that's what we're doing, right?

Norma:

Dylan: You leaving now?
Emma: Yeah. I'm going to go home where it's normal.

Norma:
