- Norma Louise Bates: [at City Council meeting] Welcome to the world ladies! There are ax murderers and whores stuffed under every rug, so your kids better read up on it and get educated, because that's what life is! It's a cesspool you claw and scratch and fight to swim out of, but you never get to the top!
- Norma Louise Bates: 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 Martin: [waking him] Did you mean what you said. That you'd always be there for me?
- Norman Bates: [yes]
- Bradley Martin: Good. Because I need your help.
