1* Caroline, Marion's peppy co-worker, provides some. She suggests Marion take -- not headache pills -- but tranquilizers. Which she apparently took for her own wedding night.
2** After Mr. Cassidy goes into Mr. Lowery's office, Caroline remarks that he was flirting with Marion. "He must have noticed my wedding ring."
3** When Cassidy casually flashes a big wad of cash:
4--->'''Caroline:''' I declare!
5--->'''Cassidy:''' I don't. That's how I get to keep it.
6* Norman nervously glancing around when Marion's still-exposed car briefly stops sinking in the swamp behind the motel.
7* When Arbogast mentions that he's visited a lot of hotels over the past couple days, Norman asks him if he's looking to buy one, prompting Arbogast to answer with a flat but emphatic, ''"NO."'' Even Norman chuckles at this.
8* When Lila shows up at Sam's store:
9--> '''Sam:''' ''[to his clerk]'' Bob, run out and get yourself some lunch.
10--> '''Bob:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Oh, that's okay, Sam. I brought it with me.]]
11--> '''Sam:''' ''[testily]'' Run out and eat it!
12* The exaggerated way Sheriff Chambers pronounces "AR-bo-gast" when talking to Norman on the phone.
13* [[https://youtu.be/DTJQfFQ40lI The trailer]], in which Alfred Hitchcock himself takes the viewer on a tour of the set and trails off when describing certain plot points.
14** There's a part in the master bedroom where he opens up Mrs. Bates' wardrobe, does an AsideGlance to the audience, [[TakeOurWordForIt then quietly closes the door]]. In the actual film, we see Lila open that same wardrobe when she's snooping around the house. [[spoiler: It has nothing but clothes inside]]. Well played, Mr. Hitchcock.
