Norman Bates and Norma Bates in “Unfinished Business”

Norman Bates

Mother!

Norma Bates

[gasps] Geeze! Norman! Don't jump out from a bunch of trees and sneak up on people!

Norman Bates

I didn't jump out from a bunch of trees you're just on edge. What's going on?

Norma Bates

I don't know Norman. I don't know what's going on. You know why!? Because no one tells me anything! Things that you do. Things that affect my life. I mean but why talk to me about anything? I mean what am I? Like a doll? And the men folk are gonna hash out who gets the woman in the homestead?

Norman Bates

Oh I see. So he told you?

Norma Bates

Yeah he told me because he respects me enough to tell me.

Norman Bates

Pfft.

Norma Bates

What the hell does that mean? Pfft! That's bullshit Norman. Anyone could do that. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! [mockingly] I just diminished what you said!!

Norman Bates

Maybe this just isn't the place for this discussion. Mother.

Norma Bates

I tried to talk to you about it at the house but Dylan and Emma were already there. I am so upset with you. And I don't want to get into it so STOP PROVOKING ME! STOP IT! [storms off]
