Quotes

• Norma: Holy crap, Dylan left, like, a hundred messages. Oh, my Lord. What was going on with you two? Jeez, all I did was leave for a few hours.

Norman: With a suitcase. We spent the night wondering if you were ever coming back. If you were dead.

Norma: What does death have to do with a suitcase? What the hell? Alex left me a message saying he was shot?

Norman: What do you mean he's been shot?

Norma: I don't know. What the hell? I mean, can't a woman get in a freaking mood for one night without the whole world coming to an end?

Norman: A mood?

• Norman: Can I ask you something now?

James Finnegan: Of course, shoot.

Norman: How was it, sleeping with my mother?

James Finnegan: What makes you think I slept with your mother, Norman?

Norman: Let's just say I've known her a long time.

James Finnegan: And would it bother you if someone slept with your mother?

Norman: Let's see. If your mother ran out on you and your brother one night, didn't tell you where she was going or when she was coming back, and then threw herself, like a whore, into the bed of someone she barely knows, some... licensed family therapist who could probably lose his license for such behaviour, but that's not really the point. Would all of that behaviour bother you?

James Finnegan: Yes, it might.

Norman: So what was she like?

James Finnegan: That's not an appropriate question, Norman.

Norman: Come on. We're both men here. It's not like we don't know what goes on. Did she give-to easily?

James Finnegan: You know, I think we're done here.

Norman: What, are you uncomfortable? Huh? 'Cause I know? 'Cause I can imagine what it was like? Did you really think that you'd come down here and it would be your little secret? "Oh, we banged each other, but now let's send you downstairs to fix crazy Norman."

James Finnegan: Norman, why do you care so much who your mother might be sleeping with? What does it mean? That she could be attracted to someone? Does that... take her away from you? Norman, do you want to sleep with her?

• Norma: I'm sorry I left the other night. I just went a little mad. I mean, we all go a little mad sometimes.
