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. [pause] 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. Sheriff Al Chambers: And the forty thousand dollars? Who got that? Dr. Fred Richmond: The swamp. These were crimes of passion, not profit. Officer: [enters room with blanket on arm] He feels a chill. Can I bring him this blanket? Dr. Fred Richmond: [lighting cigarette] Oh, sure. Police Chief James Mitchell: All right.

left the next day and that was it. No, not exactly. Well, I did question him, believe me, but I think I got all there was to get. I'll just have to pick up the pieces from here. Well, I tell you, I don't feel entirely satisfied... See, this boy had a sick old mother. I think she saw Marion and talked to her. No. No, unfortunately, he wouldn't let me see her. Well, I was, but I think I'll go back to the motel first. No, you stay there with Loomis. I'll be back in about an hour. All right, fine. Listen, I... You'll be happy to know what I think. I think our friend Sam Loomis didn't know that Marion was here. Yeah. All right. See you in about an hour or less. All right, bye-bye. Bates?
