- Norma Louise Bates: [stops playing the piano] Hi, honey.
- Norman Bates: You're here. You *did* come back. I thought you'd left me.
- Norma Louise Bates: I'd never leave you. You know that.

- Sheriff Alex Romero: You think I'm putting up with any of your crap, you think again.
- Norman Bates: My mother would just be touched at how you're handling her son, who she loved more than anything on this earth.
- Sheriff Alex Romero: Oh, yeah? That wasn't a suicide. We both know that.
- Norman Bates: I-I-I tried to warn you. I tried to warn both of you it was never going to work. You pushed her too far, and you broke her. Now, if she has gone, it is your fault.
- Sheriff Alex Romero: That's not true.
- Norman Bates: No, it is true. I don't want you anywhere near me. I don't want you at the house, and I do not want you near her at that funeral home or at the funeral. I don't want to see you ever again.
- Sheriff Alex Romero: [Romero slams him up against a wall] Go on, go on, cut me out of everything. I don't care now. She's gone, so what does it matter?
- Norman Bates: What are you gonna do, kill me in the hallway?
- Sheriff Alex Romero: No, I'm gonna prove you did it, you piece of shit.
