"Oh, Mother, what is wrong with you?" "What is wrong with me?" "Well, let me see, for, uh..." "Let's see, for starters," "I am dead." "And why am I pretending to be dead?" "So I could get away from everyone and everything that could distract me from you, okay?" "I know that, and I appreciate it." "You appreciate it?" "Appreciate, like I baked you a coffee cake or something?" "I spend 24/7 in this house looking after you, feeding you, bolstering your moods, doing your laundry." "I can't leave!" "I can't go anywhere!" "I'm going nuts here!" "I literally gave up my life to protect you." "Okay?" "To give you a life without trouble." "And we're doing it, right?" "We're doing it."

"I mean, what are you gonna do?" "Bring her over?" "I mean, where am I gonna go?" "In a closet?" "I'm not gonna bring her here to dinner." "[stammering] It's..." "this..." "This is absurd."

"Some bagels and coffee." "Oh, that's sweet." "You know, um, uh... [stammering] I'm k..." "I'm kind of starting to get the feeling that he wants to move here to Seattle to be near us." "Yeah, I have that feeling, too." "[stammering] I don't..." "I don't know what to say to him." "I mean..." "I don't know... he's..." "He's my dad, and he's... he's trying to make an effort." "[whispering] Yeah." "The truth is, Em..." "Caleb came up with a bunch of money to help pay for your transplant." "He did?" "Yeah." "[somber music]" "Yeah, and it... it was really dangerous, but he... but he did it to help me, because he knew how much I loved you." "Dylan." "He didn't want me to tell you, and I..." "I never wanted to tell you." "It's... but..." "You know, I feel like we're the only family that he has, and, I mean, he..." "He can't go live by Norma." "H... how can I turn him away?" "I..." "I don't know, I feel like I..." "Like I have to give him a chance." "[sighs] [whispering] I don't know." "I don't know, Kate." "[eerie music]" " Mother." " [door opens]" "Hello?" "[bell dings]" "[warm music]" "Hi." "I brought you some sample cans of paint and brushes so you can try out the colors." "Well, that's incredibly kind of you." "Oh, I found my wallet, actually."

"Okay, good." "This place is awfully cute." "We, uh..." "I..." "I like it." "I'd love to see the house." "Oh, yeah, well, I'd love to show it to you." "It's just a little bit of a mess right now, so." "You live here all alone since your mom died?" "Uh-huh." "[dramatic music]" "I mean, there's the guests, of course, so that helps." "You know, there's a lot of things you can get involved in." "There's a small business owners' meeting tonight in town." "You have a small business." "You should come." "It's tonight at 7:00 in the old courthouse." "I..." "I would really like to." "I'm just not sure that I could get away." "Well, think about it..." "If you can come to the meeting." "Yes, I will." "[dishes clatter]" "[chuckles]" "Oh, God." "I hope I didn't wake you up." "[laughs] I'm sorry." "I was just so hungry." "You ever wake up in the middle of the night, and you just need to eat something?" "Oh, my God, all the time, especially in my second trimester." "I ate so much." "[both laughing]" "Were you, um, scared?" "I mean, being pregnant?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, I mean, it happened." "We did not plan it, but..." "I just felt so strong, like life had given me a second chance." "Can I... can I talk to you about something?" "Yeah, of course." "Well, I want to thank you." "For... what?" "For what you did for me to help me get the surgery." "[dramatic music]" "I can't tell you." "I never dreamed before of having a real life." "I knew I was gonna die." "But you stopped that." "And I will always, always be grateful." "It was my pleasure." "Truly." "But you have to leave." "It kills me to say this, but..." "You being here is gonna force Dylan to live a lie with his daughter every time you're in the house." "I don't know the exact circumstances of how he came into this world, but I know enough to know that you're putting him in an impossible position." "I understand." " I wish it could be different." " It's okay." "I guess my coming here was kind of..." "It was my own self-denial." "I know you're right." "Hey, you should get back to sleep." "Don't worry about anything." "I'll just, um..." "I'll clean up here when I'm done and turn the lights out." "It's all good." "Thank you." "[sighs]" "Are you going somewhere?" "Oh, yes, actually, there's this... boring meeting in town for small business owners." "I just thought I probably should attend." "Small business owners as in hardware stores?" "Mother..." "It's fine." "Go ahead." " Really?" " Yeah, go ahead." "But you can't take the car." "Why not?" "It's not like you need it." "You aren't supposed to be driving." "I have driven the car, you know, Mother." "Many times." "You know that." "But you shouldn't be;" "you have blackouts." "[suspenseful music]" "Is this just your passive-aggressive way of getting me not to go to the meeting?" "You know, Norman, sometimes you can be so full of yourself." "No, no... this is not my way of keeping you from doing anything except having blackouts while you're driving." "Okay?" "Just walk." "You know what?" "I don't have time to just walk, Mother." "I'll miss most of it." "I think I'm gonna drive." "[engine turns over]" "[tires screeching]" "Mother... get back in that house right now." "You should not be out here." "Well, you shouldn't be driving." "If you're not gonna live by the rules, I'm not gonna live by the rules." "Keep your voice down!" "[whispering] You are gonna get us caught!" " Okay..." " What are you trying to prove?" "Norman, you do not have autonomy here." "You can't just make unilateral decisions about everybody else, like you're the little dictator." "I am just driving to a meeting." "Oh, I know what you're doing, and I know why you're doing it." "I know everything about you..." "What scares you, what you want, what you Google." "Oh, so you're looking on my computer now?" "Yeah, that's what I'm doing, looking at your computer." "No, I'm not looking at your computer." "I know you." "I know you better than you know yourself." "And that's why you make me so angry..." "Because you keep doing shit that just makes more work for me." "Asking me questions that I can't give you answers to because I'm just trying to take care of you." "Well, who asked you to take care of me?" "What do you think you're trying to protect me from?" "No one is trying to hurt me." "Fine!" "Come with me!" "[tense string music]" "You want to see what I do for you?" "No, I don't, Mother." "Let's just drop this." "A little late for that." "Look in here." "I don't want to look in there." "Mother, never mind, okay?" "Do you remember the night you were putting up the shower curtains?" "No." "Do you remember a man showing up?" "No, Mother, no, I don't." "You Norman Bates?" "I don't want to remember." "I don't want to remember." "It's too late!" "Why was he trying to kill me, Mother?" "I don't know." "How did you get into the room so quickly?" "Huh?" "Why were you even outside?" "I don't know." "What is wrong with us, Mother?" "I don't know, Norman!" "I don't know!" "[slicing]" "All I know is that the world is full of bad people." "And we cannot trust anyone from the outside." "It is you and me, Norman." "That is all we have." "We would die without each other, do you understand that?" "[somber music]" "Yes, Mother, I understand." "It's gonna be okay." "Well, it's not like we haven't done this before." "We've just got to get rid of him." "Well, I was gonna put him in the car while you were out..." "Just dump him somewhere while you were out." "That's why I needed the car."
