You need to grow up a little right now, and you need to think of your mother.
Don't patronize me. I have spent every waking moment of my life thinking of my mother.
Well, then you need to think of her as a human being, Norman. She's always gonna be your mother. Nothing's ever gonna change that. But don't you think she wants to be with someone? W-w-with a partner? A friend? A lover? Someone she can share her life with? I mean, why is that such a terrible thing? Don't you think she deserves to have a man in her life?
[Norman raises the axe above his head]
Put that down. Oh, back up. Back up. Back up.
[Norman furiously chops at the door with the axe]
AAAAH! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you so much! AHHH!
[Norma rushes outside]
Norman? What happened?
[Norman storms off. Romero takes Norma back into the house]
I'm moving back in. I'll go home and get my stuff tomorrow. But I'm not leaving this house tonight.
