John Gavin e Vera Miles.

 

Sam: Marion, you want to cut this off--go out and find yourself somebody available?

Marion: I'm thinking of it.

Sam: How could you even think a thing like that!

Marion: Don't miss your plane.

Sam:Hey, we can leave together, can't we?

Marion:Hm-mm. I'm late, and uh, you have to put your shoes on. (She exits.)

 

 

 

Norman: Mother! Oh God! Mother! Blood! Blood!

Mother´s Voice:
It's sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son.

But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They'll put him away now as I should have years ago. He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man.

As if I could do anything except just sit and stare--like one of his stuffed birds. Well, they know I can't move a finger. And I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me.

They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of person I am.

A fly has landed upon his hand, which rests in his lap.

I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They'll see. They'll see, and they'll know, and they'll say... (as he slowly raises his eyes to meet ours, smirking) 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly!'

Is it our imagination, or does Norman's smile begin to morph into his mother's dead grin, as we fade to the final shot of Marion's car being hauled from the quicksand?
