[ Chuckles ] People always call a madhouse ''some place,'' don't they ?
Put her in ''some place.''
l'm sorry. l didn't mean it to sound uncaring.
What do you know about caring ?
Have you ever seen the inside of one of those places ?
The laughing and the tears...
and the cruel eyes studying you.
My mother there ?
[ Chuckles ] But she's harmless.
She's as harmless as one of those stuffed birds.
l am sorry.
l only felt-- It seems she's hurting you.
- l meant well. - People always mean well.
They cluck their thick tongues and shake their heads and suggest--
oh, so very delicately--
Of course, l've suggested it myself.
But l hate to even think about it. She needs me.
lt-- It's not as if she were a-- a maniac, a raving thing.
She--
She iust goes a little mad sometimes.
We all go a little mad sometimes.
[ Chuckles ] Haven't you ?
Yes.
Sometimes iust one time can be enough. Thank you.
Thank you, ''Norman.''
Norman.
Oh, you're not-- you're not going back to your room already ?
[ Sighs ] l'm very tired.
And l have a long drive tomorrow, all the way back to Phoenix.
