Bates Motel · Season 1, Episode 15

Norman Bates and Norma Bates in “Unfinished Business”

[Norman is trying to kill himself]

I'm sorry mother. I didn't mean to hurt you but I am gonna do this and you're not gonna stop me.

Why!?

Because I don't wanna be who I am. And I don't wanna hurt you. There's something wrong with me. I'm bad.

You're not bad! You're innocent! You've never meant to hurt anybody in your life.

But I did, I know I did!

You don't know what's real and what's not Norman. You have these blackouts and they confuse you.

...I had a blackout the day my dad died.

What happened that day mother?

Give me the gun and I'll tell you.

[Norma grabs the gun and embraces Norman]

He was hurting me and you were trying to protect me. You've always been there to protect me.

How can you ask me to live with this?

Because I will die if you leave. I will, I'll die Norman. We're like the same person. If you kill yourself I'll be there one step after. We have to be together. We're supposed to be together! No matter what. I will be with you you every step. I will be by your side and we will face this together. Please! Please!

[Norma kisses Norman full on the mouth]

Please. Please.

Alright mother. You win.
