- Sam Loomis: You mean the old woman I saw tonight wasn't Mrs. Bates?
- Sheriff Al Chambers: Now wait a minute, Sam, are you *sure* you saw an old woman?
- Sam Loomis: Yes! In the house behind the motel! I called and I pounded, but she just ignored me!
- Sheriff Al Chambers: You mean to tell me you saw Norman Bates' mother?
- Lila Crane: It had to be - because Arbogast said so too. And the young man wouldn't let him see her because she was too ill.
- Sheriff Al Chambers: Well, if the woman up there is Mrs. Bates... who's that woman buried out in Greenlawn Cemetery?
- Sheriff Al Chambers: Your detective told you he couldn't come right back because he was goin' to question Norman Bates' mother. Right?
- Lila Crane: Yes.
- Sheriff Al Chambers: Norman Bates' mother has been dead and buried in Greenlawn Cenetery for the past ten years!
- Eliza Chambers: I helped Norman pick out the dress she was buried in. Periwinkle blue.
- Sheriff Al Chambers: 'Tain't only local history, Sam. It's the only case of murder and suicide on Fairvale ledgers.
- Dr. Fred Richmond: No. I got the whole story - but not from Norman. I got it - from his mother. Norman Bates no longer exists. He only half-existed to begin with. And now, the other half has taken over. Probably for all time.
- Lila Crane: Did he kill my sister?
- Dr. Fred Richmond: Yes, - and no.
- Lila Crane: Look, that old woman, whoever she is, she told Arbogast something. I want her to tell us the same thing.
- Sam Loomis: Hold it, you can't go up there.
- Lila Crane: Why not?
- Sam Loomis: Bates.
- Lila Crane: Then, let's find him. One of us can keep him occupied while the other gets to the old woman.
- Sam Loomis: You'll never be able to hold him still even if he doesn't want to be held. And, I don't like you going into that house alone.
- Lila Crane: I can handle a sick old woman!
- Milton Arbogast: Did you come up here on just a hunch? Nothing more?
- Lila Crane: Not even a hunch, just hope.
- Lila Crane: I'm sorry if I seem over-anxious, it's just that I'm sure that there's something wrong out there and I have to know what.
