Bates Motel Quotes
Norman, stop it. You're acting like a twit. It's not masculine and it's not attractive.
Norma
Norma: I hear ya, but I can't take care of my self, I'm a mother. Now I have to go talk to my horrible brother. You know what? I have no choice because it is important to my sons.
James: Yeah? And what about your own needs?
Norma: Parents do not have needs. You ever read the book The Giving Tree? It's about this tree and this kid keeps coming and taking stuff from it his whole life until there's nothing left but a stump and then the kid sits on the stump. That's being a parent.
My son isn't normal, there's something wrong with him.

Dylan
Norman: Dylan, none of this is your fault. I'll go with you to talk with her if you want me to. I'll try and help if I can.
Dylan: I can't ask you to do that. I mean, if I get thrown out of the house, that's on me, but I can't drag you into it.
Norman: I feel like this is partly my fault. There's something wrong with me. I wanted to destroy you because you were getting close to her and I hate that person. I'm a man now, not her little boy and I want to be a good man. I trust your judgment if you think this is the right thing to do.
This is the first time since I moved to this crummy town that I have anybody by the short hairs. I'm gettin' something out of it.
Norma
Come on. I'll give you a lift. I'm going right near where you live... Where do you live?
James
Chick: Caleb!! Look. At. Me. Life is shit. There is only one thing that makes it better. Boar jerky.
Caleb: [chuckles] What the hell is wrong with you, man?
Chick: Everything.
Oh, and uh, the password to the WiFi is MOTHER, all caps.
Emma
