Marion Crane quotes from Bates Motel

Marion Crane

Sam, do you love me?

Of course.

Marion Crane

Do I love you?

I know you do.

Marion Crane

Good. Then marry me, already.

Norman Bates

It's hard to be lonely. But it's also hard to love people, and I think that that's the trap.

Marion Crane

Trap?

Norman Bates

Yes, the little private trap that everyone lives in. We need people, but that need can destroy us. Once you care about someone, it rules you. And who knows at the end of the day if that person is really who you think they are, or if they're even real at all?

Norman Bates

So you went to his house?

Marion Crane

You were right. I'm an idiot.

Norman Bates

Is there any way I could help you with anything?

Marion Crane

Don't be nice to me right now. It's just gonna make me cry all over again, and I'll never stop. [exhales] I was gonna bring you the key 'cause I'm checking out.

Norman Bates

You're going home?

Marion Crane

I can't go home. [chuckles] I did something before I left, something I can't undo now.

Norman Bates

I see.

Marion Crane

All my life I played by the rules. Been a good person. Where has it gotten me?

Norman Bates

I know how you feel.

Marion Crane

At least you told me the truth. It's just such a shock. It's like the beautiful, kind man I thought he was just died tonight. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Norman Bates

I'm so sorry.

Marion Crane

Makes me hate myself, but part of me doesn't even want to leave. 'Cause I think he'll come looking for me. Explain it all, tell me he left her.

Norman Bates

[getting nervous] You don't want to be that person. I-I think you should go. Okay? Y-y-you need to go right now. I-I-I saw the money. Okay, what whatever you did to get it, you just you just take it and you and you get away. Okay, you just forget this place. Forget Sam. And just start over. All right? Start over and and start a new life for yourself. [hands her the money] Here.

Marion Crane

That's exactly what I was going to do, but it's just so scary.

Norman Bates

Well, you know what's scarier? Being trapped inside yourself, a private trap, never getting what you want. [starts frantically packing up her clothes] Get rid of your car and phone, things they can use to follow you. Get a new car in Otter Creek, all right? Uh, just pay for everything in cash. Here here are your clothes.

Marion Crane

I don't want them. Just throw them out.

Norman Bates

Okay, well please just go.

Marion Crane

[hugging him] Thank you.

Norman Bates

Just-just get out of here while you can okay?
