Officer:He's a tranvestite!Dr. Fred Richmond:Ah, not exactly. A man who dresses in women's clothing in order to achieve a sexual change, or satisfaction, is a transvestite. But in Norman's case, he was simply doing everything possible to keep alive the illusion of his mother being alive. And when reality came too close, when danger or desire threatened that illusion - he dressed up, even to a cheap wig he bought. He'd walk about the house, sit in her chair, speak in her voice. He tried to be his mother! And, uh... now he is.Dr. Fred Richmond:Now, that's what I meant when I said I got the story from the mother. You see, when the mind houses two personalities, there's always a conflict, a battle. In Norman's case, the battle is over... and the dominant personality has won.Officer:And the forty thousand dollars? Who got that?Dr. Fred Richmond:The swamp. These were crimes of passion, not profit.Officer: He feels a chill. Can I bring him this blanket?Dr. Fred Richmond: Oh, sure.Police Chief James Mitchell:All right
