Quotes:

  • Norman Bates: Just, don't let them take me back to the institution.
     
  • Norman Bates: Uh, I saw someone!
    Dr. Raymond: Where?
    Norman Bates: Up there! In that window!
    Dr. Raymond: I haven't had a tenant in the house for years.
    Norman Bates: I guess I'm just nervous!
    Dr. Raymond: Well, that's understandable under the circumstances.
    Norman Bates: Yeah.
     
  • Norman Bates: Mary, I'm becoming confused again, aren't I?
    Mary: Of course not!
    Norman Bates: [holding the knife] Don't lie to me! Not you!
    Mary: Yes, Norman, you are becoming confused again!
     
  • Dr. Raymond: Norman was not convicted of murder. He was found not guilty by reasons of insanity, and since he is no longer insane, he has the right to live a normal life like you and I.
     
  • Norman Bates: Would you care to share my toasted cheese sandwich?
    Mrs. Spool: No thank you.

  • The reflection of young Norman Bates in the doorknob when he flashes back to his mothers' poisoning is Oz Perkins, Anthony Perkins son.
     
  • Although never stated in Psycho I or II, Lila apparently married her murdered sister's boyfriend Sam Loomis.
     
  • Not based on the book of the same name.
     
  • When Mary and Norman first go into Norman's mother's room, before they turn the lights on, you can see Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette on the wall to the far right.
     
  • The original house set was used and the motel was reconstructed.
