Audrey Decody and Norman Bates in “Unfinished Business”

Can I talk to you? Emma wrote to me and told me how close the two of you are. I know what you must think about me, but it's not like that. I was afraid to stay with Emma's father. He has a violent temper. I want Emma to know that I love her and I hope that she can maybe understand why I did what I did. I so regret it. It hurts me so much. [starts crying]

Norman Bates

Hm. It's all right.

Um... This rabbit's from her childhood. Maybe you could give it to her. And and this letter.

Norman Bates

I'm so sorry for you.

Thank you.

Norman Bates

But what sort of a person runs away from their sick child?

I thought you said...

Norman Bates

Do you have any idea the pain she suffered!? [starts strangling her] You think your pain is anything like what she went through!? Every day, feeling abandoned by her own mother! Made to feel unwanted! Worthless! You love someone more than anything, and they leave you!!
