Caleb Calhoun quotes from Bates Motel

What did you go through?

Caleb Calhoun

I kept waiting to grow up, get bigger than him, but it just never happened. You know, I mean, for all I knew, every family was like ours anyway. But I'm a man now, so I get it, you know, how worthless he must've felt. But I wasn't a man then, and Norma sure wasn't. And he just took it out on us. Such a pretty little kid. Such a trusting girl, and I couldn't protect her. I mean, she wants to forget it happened, forget me, and I get that. She wants to blame me. I mean, I blame me too. I always have.

Caleb Calhoun

Man, you got a lot of guns.

Define "a lot".

Caleb Calhoun

Well, it means more than a few.

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.

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?

Yeah, sure. We do.

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.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

Good. How many plants do you guys got?

Caleb Calhoun

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

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

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.

What if Norma had seen you?

Caleb Calhoun

Look, what if she had, okay? I'm a human being. Is that a crime? She's the one who won't talk to me. She's the one being irrational.

I don't think it's irrational to not want to talk to the guy who raped her!

Caleb Calhoun

Look, you don't understand, Dylan. You never will!

Was it really like she said it was?

Caleb Calhoun

Yeah, it was. Maybe not exactly. I mean, we're so close, her and me. We were all we had. We were like two kids raising ourselves. So we spent all of our time together. It just happened. You know, she was more than a sister to me. I mean, she was my whole world, my whole life. I mean, I loved her. You can't help who you love. But your mom she was smarter than me, you know. She, she figured shit out. One day she came home and said it was bad, you know, that we couldn't anymore. And the way she looked at me, I couldn't breathe. You know, I loved her more than anything, and I just... [stifled cry] I just couldn't let her go. I hate myself for it. I know I don't deserve it, but I wish I could say I'm sorry. That's all I want. She doesn't have to forgive me. I just want to tell her I'm sorry before I never have another chance.

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?

Everything.

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.

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.

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

Norma Bates

There's nothing wrong with Norman. There's nothing wrong with him.

Caleb Calhoun

Look, you can see the world however you want, Norma. Okay, I know you don't like looking at the truth, but the truth is Norman is gonna hurt someone. I just hope it isn't you. Good-bye, Norma Louise.

MMother

I'm sorry. Norman will probably have to kill you. I can't do it.

Caleb Calhoun

It doesn't really matter. I love you, Norma Louise.

MMother

I know.
