He was willing to meet her sister and have a home cooked meal with them. But when Marriage was brought up he quickly swayed the conversation towards his financial burdens with his ex-wife and how he's constantly paying her alimony and his father's debt. I perceived that as he wasn't completely committed to Marion, he just wanted an excuse so they can continue to meet in secret.
However, later in the film, it got even more exciting it had drama, mystery, and horror all in one. That's what I loved about the film. I was definitely shocked that Marion would get to the point where she would steal money. She stole about 40k to cover Sam's financial burdens, which is about 300,000 dollars today. So that was crazy, then it got out of hand when Marion ended up going to the Bates Motel and met Norman Bates. My first impression of Norman Bates wasn't good, he was weird and he looked psychotic from the way he spoke, at that point I didn't know about any killings or anything so I see why the film was named psycho. My red flag was when he said his hobby was "Taxidermy". When I saw that display and no witnesses or people around that would have been my stopping point.
My favorite part was the ending, it was nothing like I suspected. I really believed that Norman Bates' mother was crazy but out of respect, he didn't place her in a Psychiatric hospital. Finding his mother's skeleton with a wig and her clothes on was a next level mental disorder. But to find out that he truly thought that he was both himself and his mom was mind-blowing, he was suffering from a multiple personality disorder. The creepiest part was when Norman's mother said " It's sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder, They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching...they'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, "why she wouldn't even harm a fly" - Norman's mother's voice.
