Psycho II Page #4

you at the diner today.

Mrs. Spool kept on telling

her to shush but she wouldn't.

She said you'd been

locked up.

Did she say why?

Well, I'll tell you.

When I was 12,

my mother went mad,

so I put some poison

in her tea.

You know? Just...

I'm all right now.

You sure?

Sure.

Otherwise they wouldn't have given

me a job in a diner, would they?

I don't know.

It takes a nut to work there.

Oh, boy!

Look, I-I-I'm sorry,

but I don't want to...

What if I told you

that I needed you to stay?

Why would you need me?

Because this is

the first night

I've spent in this house

in years, much less alone.

A lot of my troubles

had to do

with this house.

So you see, I'm as scared as you

are, just for different reasons.

I-I'm sorry,

but l... l...

Please.

That bad, huh?

No. Not... Not... Not that one.

This one over there.

What's wrong

with this one?

Well, that, uh, used

to belong to my mother.

But she's dead,

isn't she?

Yeah.

Is this the room where

you had your troubles?

One of them, yeah.

Well, I don't know what

happened to you in the past,

but you're never gonna get

over it, not unless you face it.

See? No ghosts.

No.

I could sleep here.

No, I'd, uh...

Why not?

I'd just rather

you didn't.

What happened in here

that scared you so?

Let me show you the room

across the hall, okay?

You'll be, uh,

just fine in here.

Well, the, uh...

The bathroom?

L-ls, uh,

right over there.

Uh, well,

I guess it's time to, uh,

to go to sleep.

Okay.

Good night, Mary.

About time, girl.

Sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry I missed you

this morning.

I got up early and went into

town to see my girlfriend.

You know, the one

I was telling you about.

Guess what?

What?

We're going to

room together.

Well, y-y-y-you... you're more than

welcome to stay with me, you know.

Thanks, but I'd really

rather live in town.

Oh, in town, yeah.

Uh, my... my place is

a lot closer to work.

No, l... I really don't think

that's a good idea.

Okay. Well,

if you change your mind.

Hey, girl, I gave you the

morning off, not the afternoon.

Hop to it.

Charming, isn't he?

Chop up some more lettuce,

will you, Norman?

Hey, Ralph, so, uh, how's

your new helper doing?

Hi, Warren.

Just fine, thanks.

Yeah, well, I hope he washes

dishes better than he runs a motel.

Hey, can I get a little service

around here or what, huh?

Okay.

Hey, cutie! Come here.

Oh, hello,

what would you like?

I'd like some of what

Norman got last night.

Pardon?

You heard me, sweetheart.

Why don't you look at a

menu and I'll be right back?

What happened between you

and that man last night?

I fired him.

Oh, great,

he's on my station.

What did he say?
