Suddenly Norman comes down dressed in a wig and old dark dress with a lace collar. (This is one of his mother's dresses.) He then begins to choke her to death. He puts her body in the trunk of the Buick Roadmaster having choked her twice, and then starts to push the car into the swamp out back. The car's tail lights are on as it rolls into the swamp with the woman pounding inside. The pounding eventually stops.
The weather is warm and humid and Chet and Norma are upstairs in her bedroom. Chet has just finished taking a shower as they wait for "room service" from Norman.
Down in the kitchen Norman is preparing a pitcher of ice water and vanilla for the couple upstairs when Norman reaches for the bottle of strychnine in the cabinet. It says on the bottle for Mr. John Bates to take 0.5 mg as a stimulate. This is a very small dose. One half of one thousandth of a gram. Strychnine used to be used to stimulate the system I think but I'm not absolutely sure of this. There may have been other uses of the drug. Strychnine came in about the consistency of mineral oil. Norman dumped the whole bottle in the pitcher of ice water. He then took the liquid upstairs to the waiting couple. Chet says, "Room service has arrived." Chet Rudolph drinks his glass right away while Norma plays with it and then drinks her glass.
It's not too long before the drug hits Chet first.
