Quotes 

• Norma Louise Bates : There's girls like her, girls that have no future. They're just raised like a weed, that are just trapped in some unbearable circumstance that they can't get out of. And I'm just saying, that's the kind of girl that can get you into trouble. They talk you into things, get pregnant, the next thing you know, your life is over. I didn't make the world the way it is. There are people who can help you, and people who can hurt you, and you gotta pick the right people.

• Emma Decody : What's it like the first time you have sex?

  Norma Louise Bates : [after a long pause and a sigh]  Why?

  Emma Decody : [rambling]  Well, there's someone that I met, and every time I'm with him that's pretty much all I'm thinking about. So it seems within the realm of possibility that it could happen. And, I mean, 'cause of my medical situation, I've never done it. And I don't have a mother to ask, or a close girl friend, and I can't exactly ask my dad. And I actually tried googling it, but what I read just scared me. I hope you don't mind that I asked you. I mean, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. It might be inappropriate.

  Norma Louise Bates : If you have feelings for him, and he's a good person, then the first time you have sex should be lovely. It should.

  Emma Decody : It should.
