Chick Hogan quotes from Bates Motel

Chick Hogan

When the DEA burned this town down, took my transpo guy with it. I need a driver. The guy fled to Puerto Rico. Who flees to Puerto Rico? I could think of a million other places to flee to.

Caleb Calhoun

Man, you got a lot of guns.

Chick Hogan

Define "a lot".

Caleb Calhoun

Well, it means more than a few.

Chick Hogan

That's right. I have more than a few guns. Speaking of guns, Dylan, you shouldn't be shooting off guns around here. It attracts too much attention.

Caleb Calhoun

He didn't fire a gun. I did.

Chick Hogan

Yeah, you did. You know, it just It steps on the peaceful environment that we have here. It rattles Mother Nature. You understand that, don't you, Dylan?

Dylan Massett

Yeah, sure. We do.

Chick Hogan

You know, there's rules, right? We respect the rules. That's how we respect each other, right? If we all understand the rules, then we can coexist.

Dylan Massett

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

Chick Hogan

Good. How many plants do you guys got?

Caleb Calhoun

Honestly, Chick, that's none of your Goddamn business.

Dylan Massett

We're cultivating 99 plants. It's the medical marijuana limit.

Chick Hogan

You guys remind me of these two guys in a book. You don't have any rabbits up there, do you? [raising his glass] To rabbits.

Chick Hogan

Life is shit. It's that way for everyone. There's only one thing that makes it better. [holding up meat] Boar. Jerky.

Caleb Calhoun

[laughing] What the hell is wrong with you, man?

Chick Hogan

Everything.

Chick Hogan

Great. Sort of father-son gun-running bonding trip, whatever. There's a preset rendezvous time, so get your ass on the road.

Caleb Calhoun

Just between you and me, if anything happens to him, I'm gonna come back, and I'll kill you.

Chick Hogan

Maybe that's a little dramatic, but sure.

Caleb Calhoun

You are gonna give me the 25 grand you owe me for doing the job, and you're gonna be grateful that I'm a different man than I used to be, okay, that I'm willing to just take the money and leave and not put a bullet in your damn skull.

Chick Hogan

You've got the gift of wit. I'll give you that.

Chick Hogan

You know that it wasn't my intention to have you killed, right? I was a product of divorce too. I know all about Mommy trying to make Daddy into the bad guy, but I thought that you ought to know what your father's capable of. He beat me within an inch of my life. He left me for dead.

Dylan Massett

So what do you want?

Chick Hogan

I want Caleb.

Chick Hogan

We did not meet by accident. We were both hurt by the same person. You said that Caleb was your brother. But when Caleb introduced himself, it was as Dylan's father. Nah I mean, I only put this all together yesterday, but there aren't that many ways that that adds up, right?

Norma Bates

I- you- you're probably confused. He's, he- Caleb's crazy.

Chick Hogan

Mm. Do you want to be out of integrity with yourself, Norma?

Norma Bates

I want you to leave.

Chick Hogan

Why? Just 'cause you slept with your brother? Are you ashamed because he raped you? Or are you ashamed because you loved him?

Norma Bates

What do you want?

Chick Hogan

Caleb beat me, stole my money, drove off my wife and child. He had no idea the cause and effect of his actions, but that does not remove responsibility. He disappeared. I want to know where he is, Norma, and I want you to tell me.

Norma Bates

You want to kill him?

Chick Hogan

Is that what you want?

Norma Bates

No.

Chick Hogan

Why not? I mean, there must have been times when you thought, "If I was just stronger, if I had a knife..." I mean, why not? That would feel good, right? After all this time, just to... Maybe you don't know what you want.

Norma Bates

[crying] Um, I... please, I... I don't know where he is.

Chick Hogan

That's okay. You can think about it. And think about what you need, and I'll think about what what I need.

Chick Hogan

You have something for me?

Norma

I can't get Caleb killed, and I can't kill you, so I'm screwed. I'm screwed! You got me! All I wanted was my freaking window fixed, and now you're gonna destroy my life! So just go right ahead. Just go right the hell ahead!

Chick Hogan

I'm gonna hang out here, keep an eye on you. Just a little while, 'kay?

Norman Bates

Um... I'm sorry, but I don't think you can stay here, Chick. It just might not be a good idea.

Chick Hogan

Norman, it's okay. I know about her.

Norman Bates

You know about who?

Chick Hogan

About your mother. I spoke to her. It's fine.

Norman Bates

[alarmed] This is all my fault. I should never have let you in the house.

Chick Hogan

Norman, it's okay. I'm not here to judge you, not for any of it. Okay?

Norman Bates

Thank you, Chick.

Chick Hogan

No thanks necessary. We're all in this sideshow together, and then we die.

Alex Romero

What the hell are you doing here?

Chick Hogan

Well, it's kind of difficult to explain...

Alex Romero

Well, why don't you try?

Chick Hogan

Alright. Where to begin? This looks weird. Alright, starting simple: After Norma died, Norman felt lonely, and I felt lonely after my kid and my wife took off, so we became friends. You know, but when I say it like that, it's sounds, y'know, reductive. It wasn't just a, a friendship of necessity. i recognized in Norman that he had the soul of an artist. When I was in college...

Alex Romero

Chick. Chick! What are you doing here?

Chick Hogan

You want me to say that he's crazy. I wouldn't say that he's crazy.

Alex Romero

Oh, really? I would.

Chick Hogan

Okay, maybe the world tosses that word around too much.

Alex Romero

He killed his mother.

Chick Hogan

And he loved her.
