There is a faint sound for the rain pouring as Marion asks Norman about what he does with his time in such a s.low moving motel business.there seems to be a smooth an calm feeling at this point of the film, the dialogue puts Norman in a particular place in the mind of the viewer, he seems to be a humble and shy person, someone that puts his mother before everything. The type of lighting used is low key lighting, this is very common in films of this Genre. the shadow of himself to the left of the frame makes Norman bates in a focal point of analysis for the audience, a method of unknowingly showing that there is a dark side to him. As the conversation continues there are a lot of cuts back and forth. The dialogue adds some more tension when Norman says '' What are you running away from?''. Marion becomes a little uncomfortable, pauses and stutters replying ''why do you ask that?'', as the dialogue continues about the weather and how Norman things everyone is in there own private trap, where he may be referring to his mother being a burden on him. The scene ends with Marion making reference to the argument that Norman and his mother had regarding her entry to the house. Norman admits that sometimes he wants to rebel with some passion in his actions but latter falls back on his chair and says ''but i know i can't'', with the expression of disappointment in himself
