we're all in our private traps. clamped in them. and none of us can ever get out.

PSYCHO DIALOGUE

                          A man should have a hobby.

                       It's more than a hobby. A hobby is 
                          supposed to pass the time, not fill 
                             it...

                                     MARION
                         Do you go out with friends?

                                     NORMAN
                              
                         A boy's best friend is his mother. 
                         You haven't had an empty moment in 
                         your entire life, have you?

                                     MARION
                         Only my share.

                                     NORMAN
                         Where are  you going?  I didn't mean 
                         to pry.

                                     MARION
                         I'm looking for a private island.

                                     NORMAN
                         What are you running away from?

                                     MARION
                         Why do you ask that?

                                     NORMAN
                         You know, people never run away from 
                         anything, really. You know what I 
                         think? I think we're all in our 
                         private traps.  Clamped  in them.  
                         And none of us can ever get out.  We 
                         scratch  and we claw, but only at 
                         the air.  Only at each other. And 
                         for all of it, we never budge an 
                         inch.

                                     MARION
                         Sometimes we deliberately step into 
                         those traps.

                                     NORMAN
                         I was born in mine.
