Lila Loomis : Are you satisfied, Doctor? Turning a murderer loose on an innocent public!
Dr. Raymond : Mrs. Loomis, Norman was not convicted of murder; he was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. And since he is no longer insane, he has much of a right to his own life as you and I.
Lila Loomis : That is just legal hocus pocus! And when he murders again, you will be directly responsible!
-
Mary : You could stop stuffing bloody towels in toilets and peering through peep-holes in the wall.
Lila Loomis : What are you talking about?
Mary : The things you're doing to Norman.
-
Judge : Does the state council offer any contradictory psychiatric testimony?
Dr. Raymond : Yes, Your Honor.
Judge : From the basis of the staff report, Norman Bates is judged restored to sanity and is ordered released forthwith.
Lila Loomis : [interrupts] What about his victims? Don't they have any say? Can you restore them?
Judge : Madam, please sit down. This matter is being represented by the district attorney.

Lila Loomis : Your Honor, I have a petition here signed by 743 people against Norman Bates' release, including the relatives of the seven people he murdered. Doesn't that give me the right to speak out?
Judge : Has the district attorney advised Mrs. Loomis about her rights on this matter?
Dr. Raymond : Yes, Your Honor. I explained to Mrs. Loomis that her petition had no effect on these proceedings.
Judge : Did you explain to her that this hearing is a matter of law and not of motion?
Dr. Raymond : Yes, Your Honor.

Lila Loomis : [to the courtroom spectators] Why are you all just sitting here? Don't you realize that they're gonna release a homicidal maniac from the asylum?
Judge : Mrs. Loomis, I'm going to ask you to sit down before I have the bailiff remove you from this courtroom. If you have any further questions, please discuss someone with the district attorney after this hearing.
Lila Loomis : Why bother? It's all too obvious. Our courts protect the criminals, not their victims.
