lay off the third-degree, OK?
Can't you just leave
the poor slob alone?
What are you? His fan club?
- No, we believe in second chances.
What Norman did was a long time ago,
and he paid the price.
It depends on who you ask.
is paying the price, girly.
The guy's okay now.
When he worked here,
he was always on time and reliable.
A real Employee of the Month!
Go ahead and talk smart, lady.
He just wants to be left in peace.
Now look, Norman Bates has suffered
enough. Just leave him...
Afternoon, sheriff.
- ... alone.
Mrs. Oudley...
- What'll it be, Norman?
Chicken fried steak is good today.
Alright, and a glass of milk, please.
And a couple of burgers to go.
I'm warning you. I don't want trouble.
Then let go of my arm
or I'll holler police brutality.
Mind if I join you, Mr. Bates?
Tracy Vanderbilt.
Thanks, Myrna.
Coastal Reports?
- I write for them sometimes.
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you
a few questions. - I mind.
Mr. Bates... - Norman.
- I'm writing on the insanity defense
and the rehabilitation
of mentally ill murderers.
Many people think
they can't be rehabilitated
and there shouldn't be
an insanity defense.
We hear the objections of the victims
and relatives, but the murderers,
who can't help themselves,
are victims too. What do you think?
If this lady's bothering you,
I'll have her leave.
Isn't your coffee break over, sheriff?
Anything else, Norman?
What do you think?
- About? - What we were just saying.
You were incarcerated for 20 years.
- 22.
Right.
For 22 years, you were locked away.
The state says you're sane.
You paid your debt.
Then Lila Loomis starts
to persecute you. - Because of
what happened to her sister.
- Yes.
Marion Crane. Right?
Right.
- But that was 20 years ago.
A long time to harbor revenge.
Aren't you bitter about
what Lila Loomis tried to do to you?
I understand.
My cure
couldn't cure the hurt I caused.
My return to sanity
didn't return the dead.
There's no way
to make up that loss.
The past is never really past.
It stays with me all the time.
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape. It's always there.
Throbbing inside you.
Coloring your perceptions of the world,
and sometimes controlling them.
That's my point, Norman. You have
a conscience. You live with guilt.
You punish yourself all the time.
Why does the rest of society have to?
Take Mrs. Spool's disappearance.
What if a well-meaning citizen
thought that
you had something to do with it?
I'm not upsetting you, Norman?
All this talk
is only hypothetical.
- What's yours, babe?
She is only an example
of how people might,
given your past history,
tend to automatically blame you
