Marion Crane in the car after she stole the $40,000. She hears
voices. How would you define that sound? Internal diegetic? It comes
from her thinking process, though it's not her own voice. She is
reproducing the reactions to her stealing on Friday which will probably
occur on Monday, when the "crime" will be discovered. She is projecting
sounds in her mind that have not yet occurred.
