BATES MOTEL.


George and Mildred are settling into their cabin, whilst Norman Bates takes Katherine up to his house for a bite to eat. George is getting ready to have himself a shower.

MILDRED: Fancy an early night George?

GEORGE: I thought that's what we were doing, I'm going for a shower first.

MILDRED: No, George, I meant an early night.

GEORGE: Are you contradicting yourself again Mildred?

MILDRED: Oh...bugger off and have your shower George.

George heads into the bathroom and gets undressed. He steps into the shower and turns the water on. A Few moments into his shower, a human shadow slowly moves towards the shower curtain and then all of a sudden the shower curtain is yanked back and George lets out a scream. The shadow eventually reveals itself as Mildred. Mildred wonders why George is acting like a cry baby and George calms down.

MILDRED: I was meant to give you this, it's shower gel.

GEORGE: Oh right.

Mildred stands and smiles at a naked George.

MILDRED: Is there room for one more?

GEORGE: What do wanna get in for?

MILDRED: Three guesses.

GEORGE: I give up, what?

MILDRED: Close your eyes and I'll show ya.

GEORGE: Yeah, I'll be in in a minute Mildred.

George pulls the shower curtain back across, leaving Mildred frustrated.

Up at the Bates House, Norman has fixed, Katherine Wentworth a bowl of soup. They seem to be getting on like a house on fire.

KATH: So your father helped build this place?

NORM: Yeah, my father died when I was six, I wish I'd got to know him better.

KATH: And it's just you and your mother?

NORM: Right.

KATH: Must feel lonely, being out here all by yourselves.

NORM: Well, I've been used to it all my life, I've never really considered venturing out.

KATH: Why?

NORM: My mother, she's very demanding, in fact there hasn't been a day in my life, that I haven't seen her.

KATH: You must be in your thirties and your still hanging onto your mothers apron.

NORM: It's not like that at all, she's...she's an invalid.

KATH: Oh I'm sorry, I'd realize the situation.

NORM: It's alright, Pamela, not many people do. I've often thought about venturing out, looking for companionship, but I mean who would look after my mother?

KATH: Couldn't you like find her a place elsewhere to be cared for?

Norman seems startled by Katherine's words.

NORM: You mean like an institution.

KATH: No, I meant like a care home, where she could socialize with other people.

NORM: I've considered that, but if I did, I know judging by everything, she would reject me.

KATH: After all you've done for her, that's a bit selfish, you're a kind hearted guy. In my eyes, you wouldn't harm a fly.
