** And Lila when she thinks Sam was working with Marion, immediately says that they don't want to press charges as long as she returns the money.
** With the WordOfGod that Marion was planning to go back and return everything, it makes sense that she might not fear the police - since she was there when Cassidy said he didn't declare it.

** This is doubly so in the fourth film of the series: Norma thinks she murdered someone by strangling them. Norman uses the woman's car to hide the crime (similar to how he would later do to Marion). Unfortunately, Norma didn't kill the woman. So, it is possible that Norma hadn't completely killed people before.

* In the shot that pulls back from Marion's eye, it is possible to see her throat moving just slightly. Presumably this was simply because Janet Leigh couldn't remain totally still during the rather complicated shot, but if one likes, there is a more chilling interpretation: that Marion, while mortally wounded, ''wasn't quite dead yet'' and wouldn't be until she was put in the car and drowned in the swamp.
* Norman goes through the motions of cleaning up after "Mother's" murder of Marion with the demeanor of having done this before. And indeed, when the psychiatrist refers to the unsolved disappearance of two local girls, we realize that he ''has''.

* There are some subtle hints that deep down, Norman knows that his mother is no longer alive, such as when he refuses to let Arbogast see her. Even stronger evidence is when they argue about him hiding her in the fruit cellar and she refuses to leave her room, forcing him to pick her up and carry her. Is this because of her nasty personality, or does he know full well that she can't walk because she's dead?
