I'm sorry if I seem over-anxious, it's just that I'm sure that there's something wrong out there and I have to know what.

I helped Norman pick out the dress she was buried in. Periwinkle blue.

So he had to erase the crime, at least in his own mind. He stole her corpse. A weighted coffin was buried.
I'm sorry. I felt that... well, from what you told me about your mother is that she might be hurting you. I meant well.

Ah, not exactly. A man who dresses in women's clothing in order to achieve a sexual change, or satisfaction, is a transvestite.
And when reality came too close, when danger or desire threatened that illusion - he dressed up, even to a cheap wig he bought.
Did you come up here on just a hunch? Nothing more?

They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...'
And because he was so pathologically jealous of her, he assumed that she was jealous of him.
Now he was already dangerously disturbed, had been ever since his father died.

He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man...
But in Norman's case, he was simply doing everything possible to keep alive the illusion of his mother being alive.
I couldn't do that. Who would look after her? The fire in her fireplace would go out.
Matricide is probably the most unbearable crime of all... most unbearable to the son who commits it.
Now to understand it the way I understood it, hearing it from the mother... that is, from the mother half of Norman's mind...
I think that would be a rather extreme reaction, don't you?

It had to be - because Arbogast said so too. And the young man wouldn't let him see her because she was too ill.
