1:39:05
His mother was
a clinging, demanding woman...
1:39:10
and f or years the two of them lived as
if there was no one else in the world.
1:39:15
Then she met a man...
1:39:17
and it seemed to Norman that
she threw him over f or this man.
1:39:22
That pushed him over the line
and he killed them both.
1:39:25
Matricide is probably the most
unbearable crime of all...
1:39:31
most unbearable
to the son who commits it.
1:39:34
So he had to erase the crime,
at least in his own mind.
1:39:42
He stole her corpse.
1:39:46
A weighted coffin
was buried.
1:39:49
He hid the body
in the fruit cellar...
1:39:52
even treated it to keep it
as well as it would keep.
1:39:55
And that still
wasn't enough.
1:39:58
She was there...
but she was a corpse.
1:40:04
So he began to think
and speak f or her...
1:40:06
give her half his lif e,
so to speak.
1:40:09
At times he could be both personalities,
carry on conversations.
1:40:14
At other times, the "mother" half
took over completely.
1:40:18
He was never all Norman,
but he was often only "Mother"...
1:40:24
and because he was so
pathologically jealous of her...
1:40:28
he assumed that she
was as jealous of him.
1:40:30
Theref ore, if he f elt a strong
attraction to any other woman...
1:40:36
the "mother" side of him
would go wild.
1:40:41
When he met your sister...
1:40:44
he was touched by her,
aroused by her.
1:40:47
He wanted her.
1:40:50
That set off the jealous "mother"
and "Mother" killed the girl.
1:40:56
After the murder Norman returned
as if from a deep sleep...
