Quotes 

• Norman Bates : I told you to call the police the night it happened, I told you this was a bad idea! You had every right to defend yourself!

  Norma Louise Bates : But I didn't defend myself, I killed the crap outta him!

• Norman Bates : I don't trust him.

  Norma Louise Bates : Norman, you're just jealous, you're not used to me having someone.

  Norman Bates : I'm not jealous, you're my mother not my girlfriend!

• Norman Bates : Whatever.

  Norma Louise Bates : Did you just "whatever" me?

• Bradley Martin : There are only a few people I can stand to be around. You seem to get it. Don't touch me or push me to cheer up. You don't know what a relief that is.

  Norman Bates : I'm glad. I mean, that you can stand to be with me.

  Bradley Martin : Death is a weird thing, isn't it? It's like, someone is with you your whole life.They're breathing, present - and then they're just gone.

  Norman Bates : Totally gone?

  Bradley Martin : Vanished. Never even get to see them again.

  Norman Bates : Ever? Sucks.

  Bradley Martin : It's a really bad plan, whoever came up with it.

  Norman Bates : I think grief is just the period of time it takes for your brain to accept that someone's gone. Because everything in your body, your mind, your entire being, just keeps bringing back to the moment that they're still alive. It takes a long time for your body to let go of that.

  Bradley Martin : That's exactly what it is.

  Norman Bates : It's the hardest thing of all. To let go of someone you love.

• Will Decody : Norman? I probably shouldn't be telling you this but my daughter has quite a crush on you. Now, you seem like a nice kid and I know you know she has a lot of, um... problems. She's not strong and she's very young. Just a regular girl in many ways. So please, be decent.

  Norman Bates : I am decent.

• Norma Louise Bates : Honey, sometimes you hear and see things that aren't there.

  Norman Bates : It's not true.

  Norma Louise Bates : It's true. I don't want you to worry but you've done this for a while. You know, it's like some kind of trance or something.

• Dylan Massett : [reading the text message]  She says, "Cool, everyone's asleep, I'm at my house, come over."

  Norman Bates : I can't go now. Not with all... This is crazy.

  Dylan Massett : This is the only thing that is not crazy, okay? Be a 17 year old for 5 minutes. Come on, go have fun.

  Norman Bates : Right now?

  Dylan Massett : Yeah, right now. She's waiting for you, dumb ass. Come on, leave!
