Julian Howe quotes from Bates Motel

Norman Bates

So how long have you been at Pineview?

Julian Howe

About four years. Yeah, in for the "B" s: Bipolar, borderline, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Norman Bates

What are you making?

Julian Howe

Self-portrait. I need some air. I don't know who thought it was a good idea for a bunch of medicated psychos to spend the morning inhaling glue. Nice cat, by the way.

Norman Bates

It's a dog.

Julian Howe

It's cute that you care.

Julian Howe

Did you start your meds?

Norman Bates

Yeah.

Julian Howe

You sleep?

Norman Bates

Not really.

Julian Howe

Yeah, well, that'll go away. You may even sleep more.

Norman Bates

I think I'll sleep better when I'm home in my own bed.

Julian Howe

You gonna miss your mommy tucking you in? [Norman looks offended] It's a joke, dude. Lighten up. I'm I'm sorry if you're homesick.

Norman Bates

Oh, no. I'm not homesick, Julian. I'm going home.

Julian Howe

Seriously?

Norman Bates

Yep.

Julian Howe

Dr. Edwards sign off on your paperwork yet?

Norman Bates

He will.

Julian Howe

No, he won't. Even if he did, someone like you, you're gonna boomerang back here in one, two months, tops. That is, of course, unless your family freaks out and dumps you back here sooner.

Norman Bates

Someone like me?

Julian Howe

Yeah, I'm... look, I know you think you're different, playing all calm and nice, but you don't wind up in a place like this just 'cause you're normal.

Norman Bates

You're right, Julian. I'm not normal. But I'm also not like you. I may be crazy like you are, but I'm smart, and I can get myself out of this place because I want to. I know how to make the world see me as someone normal, someone kind, someone nice, and you just can't do that. That's why you're never gonna get out of here.
