Psycho II Page #2

Look, just do

as I say, okay?

She's pretty cute.

Where'd you find her?

What's this stuff?

I'd say it was drugs.

What about

the occupied cabins?

Is that what's going on

in there, too?

Yeah.

Boy, this town.

If it isn't the parents,

it's the kids.

I caught a couple of them

screwin' in the basement

of your house up there

last week.

Of course,

I threw them right out.

Can you believe that?

What kind of a motel

are you running here?

The kind that makes money.

People come here to party.

They stay a few hours

and then they leave.

What more can you ask from a motel

so far from the beaten track, huh?

You're fired.

Hey, you can't fire me.

I was hired by the hospital.

This State has no claim on me

or my property anymore.

And neither do you.

I want you

out of here tomorrow.

Yeah, well, why don't you try

putting me out, Mr. Whacko, hmm?

I'd like to see that.

I won't have to.

I'll just go to the police.

I'm sure they'd be very

interested in what's going on here,

especially the drugs.

Tomorrow, Mr. Toomey.

And don't rent out any more

rooms in this motel. No more.

At least my customers

have a good time.

What'd yours get,

Bates, huh?

Dead, that's what

they got!

Dead! Murdered by you,

you loony!

Hi!

What was all

the yelling about?

Oh.

My motel manager

and I just had a fight.

Wasn't because of me,

was it?

No.

Why are you sitting

in the dark?

I was just thinking

about Scott.

Maybe if I hadn't

blown up at him so quick,

we would've

worked things out.

Yeah, maybe.

L... I don't know.

Is that, uh, better?

Do you think I should call

him and talk to him again?

Oh, sure.

Hi, Scott?

Are you all right?

What were you talking about?

Listen, I didn't mean it.

Are you still

mad at me?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm at this motel.

No, I didn't get wet.

I got here just

before the storm started.

Look, I can take care

of myself.

No, of course not.

Look, I can't talk any longer.

I got to go.

Uh, oh.

How did it go?

Terrible. I found out why he

didn't want me to come home tonight.

Oh, well, why?

He's got somebody new.

He's moved her in

already.

Well, that's no good.

Oh, well.

Think how it would've been if

I'd married him and then found out

what sort of guy he was.

He asked me to, you know?

Sure. L... I mean,

I'm sure he did.

Oh, uh, have... have...

have you had dinner yet?

No.

Well, let... let's have it

together.

I was just about to

sit down.

It's just, uh,

sandwiches and milk,

but you're more than welcome to share it.

I really

don't think that...

No, no, no, do it. Do it... Do

it for my sake. Starving yourself

isn't going to make

anything any better, either.

All right.

But this is yours.

No, go ahead, you... you

have it. I'll make another.

Do you have a knife?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

L... I just moved back here

after being many years away.

I forgot to bring

any cu-cutlery.

That's odd.

People usually

leave something,

even if it is only

an old butter knife.

Oh, there.

Is something wrong, Norman?

Um,

aren't you going to eat?

No. L... l... l... I just

suddenly lost my appetite,

but you... you... you

go ahead.

Enjoy it.

I guess I'm like you. L... I

suddenly lost my appetite, too.

Oh, w-w-would you like

something else?

There're cookies for dessert.

Oh, no, no, th-thank you.

Uh, can I use

your phone again?

Sure.

Who you gonna call?

Um, I just remembered this

girlfriend I have in town.

L... I mean, she's kind of

a girlfriend, and, uh,

maybe she'd let me

spend the night with her.

Well, huh, I thought

you were gonna stay here.

There's a spare room

upstairs

and you're

more than welcome to it.

Uh, l... I don't think

that's such a good idea.

Why?

I don't mean to hurt

your feelings or anything,

but Myrna was talking about

you at the diner today.

Mrs. Spool kept on telling

her to shush but she wouldn't.

She said you'd been

locked up.

Did she say why?

Well, I'll tell you.

When I was 12,

my mother went mad,

so I put some poison

in her tea.

You know? Just...

I'm all right now.

You sure?

Sure.

Otherwise they wouldn't have given

me a job in a diner, would they?

I don't know.

It takes a nut to work there.

Oh, boy!

Look, I-I-I'm sorry,

but I don't want to...

What if I told you

that I needed you to stay?

Why would you need me?

Because this is

the first night

I've spent in this house

in years, much less alone.

A lot of my troubles

had to do

with this house.

So you see, I'm as scared as you

are, just for different reasons.

I-I'm sorry,

but l... l...

Please.

That bad, huh?

No. Not... Not... Not that one.

This one over there.

What's wrong

with this one?

Well, that, uh, used

to belong to my mother.

But she's dead,

isn't she?

Yeah.

Is this the room where

you had your troubles?

One of them, yeah.

Well, I don't know what

happened to you in the past,

but you're never gonna get

over it, not unless you face it.

See? No ghosts.

No.

I could sleep here.

No, I'd, uh...

Why not?

I'd just rather

you didn't.

What happened in here

that scared you so?

Let me show you the room

across the hall, okay?

You'll be, uh,

just fine in here.

Well, the, uh...

The bathroom?

L-ls, uh,

right over there.

Uh, well,

I guess it's time to, uh,

to go to sleep.

Okay.

Good night, Mary.

About time, girl.

Sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry I missed you

this morning.

I got up early and went into

town to see my girlfriend.

You know, the one

I was telling you about.

Guess what?

What?

We're going to

room together.

Well, y-y-y-you... you're more than

welcome to stay with me, you know.

Thanks, but I'd really

rather live in town.

Oh, in town, yeah.

Uh, my... my place is

a lot closer to work.

No, l... I really don't think

that's a good idea.

Okay. Well,

if you change your mind.

Hey, girl, I gave you the

morning off, not the afternoon.

Hop to it.

Charming, isn't he?

Chop up some more lettuce,

will you, Norman?

Hey, Ralph, so, uh, how's

your new helper doing?

Hi, Warren.

Just fine, thanks.

Yeah, well, I hope he washes

dishes better than he runs a motel.

Hey, can I get a little service

around here or what, huh?

Okay.

Hey, cutie! Come here.

Oh, hello,

what would you like?

I'd like some of what

Norman got last night.

Pardon?

You heard me, sweetheart.

Why don't you look at a

menu and I'll be right back?

What happened between you

and that man last night?

I fired him.

Oh, great,

he's on my station.

What did he say?

Nothing nice and I

think he's been drinking.

He sure smells like it.

Hey, you do have

other tables, honey,

or do you want me to

wait on those, too?

Talk about the customers

being nasty.

Excuse me,

do you still work here?

Yeah.

Then can I please

have my orders?

What was it like?

What's what like?

Screwin' a psycho?

Would you mind

removing your foot?

Next.

Two turkey sandwiches

on whole wheat toast.

One BLT, hold the mayo.

I'll get the tomatoes,

Mr. Statler.

Hey, I suppose
