- Norma Louise Bates: [about murder scene] Come on, Norman. You want to play with the big kids, honey? You gotta act like the big kids. Let's clean this up.
- Norma Louise Bates: Okay, change your clothes. Do it over there. I'm not gonna look. I'm gonna work on this.
- Norma Louise Bates: [sighs] Honey. I know you're in shock, okay? Big deal. You'll live. You can think about the meaning of life later, but right now, we got shit to do. Okay?
- Norma Louise Bates: We can't use the lake this time, so we have to choose between the cliff and the woods.
- Norma Louise Bates: "This time?" How many times have we done this, Mother? How many bodies are they gonna find in that lake?
- Norman Bates: Dylan, I know you mean well. Because you have always meant well. And you may not believe me, but I am so proud of you. I love you. But unfortunately, I can only ever be a real mother to one person.
