Listen to me:
You're my boy,
and I want you to stay my boy.
You're my best friend.
A boy and his mother should be close.
Norman!
Norman,
I know you're alone in there.
Mother! Oh God, Mother!
Blood! Blood!
Was this the first time
you had a conversation with a corpse?.
Actually, we started conversing
But I couldn't make her voice
sound as sweet as it was.
She was dead,
and in my mind, she grew old.
Tell me, Ed. Where were you living
when you became a mother-killer?.
What's geography got to do with it?.
- Why won't you answer me?.
Maybe it's not important.
Ed, we're anxious to shed some light
on this most unbearable subj...
Hello?.
You okay?.
- Yeah, I just cut myself.
Bad?.
- No. Anything wrong?.
Guess what I didn't pick up today?.
- The cake.
I'm sorry. Can you do it?.
I can bake one easier.
- You couldn't say what I want on it.
I'm not so good at icing.
So?. Will you?.
- Bakery'll be closed by now.
Nope. It's an all-night market.
Dinner'll be ruined if I leave it.
Anyway, isn't it bad luck for a guy
to pick up his own birthday cake?.
I'll see if they can deliver it.
I can keep it cold downstairs.
Are you upset?.
- About what?.
The good news.
If it's so good,
why would I be upset?.
It'll work out, Norman. You'll see.
Something's burning. See you soon.
... and the author of the book,
"The Mother-Killers."
In our last hour, we had a caller
who said he murdered his own mother.
We're hoping to hear from him again.
Ed, if you're listening,
we'd very much like to hear from you,
because, well, you've been there.
It's "Talk of the Town"...
KTK AM.
- KTK, can I help you?.
Oh, Ed! Hold on a second.
The pulse of Central California!
Great! Welcome back, Ed.
Thanks. - Want to tell us
about your mother?. How she...
drove you to become
what you became?.
No, it wasn't her fault.
She was the product of her time,
the age of sexual repression.
You make her sound
positively Victorian.
Did all this happen in this century?.
- You were saying, Ed...
That my mother wasn't totally bad.
If your caller is so anxious
to give us some insight into
what makes boys kill their mothers...
- Right. Ed...
What we need to know is,
what she did to you.
Did she smother you in some way,
the way some of us mothers do?.
Not inordinately.
She just made me feel unsure.
I never knew what to expect.
She'd be sweet one moment,
and then suddenly turn... mean.
She was that way with my father too.
Of course, with him, she was also...
You know, frigid.
You sound very sympathetic, Ed.
You must've loved her a lot.
