“Norman Bates heard the noise and a shock went through him.”

“Norman Bates will never die...”

“Norman Bates: ... No one really runs away from anything. It's like a private trap that holds us in like a prison. You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch.Marion Crane: Sometimes... we deliberately step into those traps.Norman Bates: I was born into mine. I don't mind it anymore.Marion Crane: Oh, but you should. You should mind it.Norman Bates: Oh, I do...[laughs]Norman Bates: But I say I don't.”

“BE HEARD! BE STRONG! BE PROUD! I WANNA MAKE SOME NOISE!”

“Then I heard a noise I’d never heard in real life before. The kind of noise you hear in movies when horse’s hooves are beating on cobblestones or the members of Monty Python were cracking together coconuts.”
