Dexter Morgan quotes from Dexter

Dexter

[voiceover, sees LaGuerta collecting evidence] Miguel probably thinks he's getting lucky. Looks like he's getting screwed.

Dexter

You need something under the table, I'm your guy. [pause] That didn't come out right.

Dexter

[voiceover] There are few milestones in life that evoke a stronger response than our final act: death. What was once moving, speaking, killing, and threatening becomes nothing but an empty vessel, which is not so different from how I've always felt.

Dexter

[voiceover, trying to write vows] Darling Rita, once you were a dream and a prayer. Now our future is as bright as the sun glinting off the morning dew, and I vow that I will –. Sounds like I'm marrying a unicorn.

Dexter

[voiceover, bound to a table] Such a familiar situation. Such an unfamiliar perspective.

Dexter

[voiceover] We all have secrets. In that way, I'm just like everyone else – sorta.

Dexter

I promise, to be the very best husband, and father that I can be. [voiceover] A completely, utterly honest vow.

Dexter

[voiceover] A wolf would chew off its own paw, its survival instinct is that fierce. So is mine.

Dexter

[voiceover] Dexter Morgan. Family man. All my previous attempts at human connection have ended in, well death. And now I have a partner for life. How did that happen? Am I drawn to the safety of belonging, or being part of something bigger than me? Either way I'm a married man. Soon to be a father. But what do I have to offer a child? Just me. Demented Daddy Dexter. Maybe I'm making the biggest mistake of my life. But who's perfect? Certainly not me. Certainly not Harry. Sure I'm still who I was, who I am. Question is what do I become? There are so many blanks left to fill in. But right now at this moment I'm content. Maybe even... happy. And I have to admit when all is said and done, life is good.

Dexter

[Voiceover] My Name is Dexter Morgan, good suburban husband, happy father of three...on paper, anyway.

Dexter

[voiceover] The backyard barbecue, it's a holdover from the last Ice Age when food was scarce and men had to work together to take down such a large beast. Those who worked well with others survived and their genes have been passed down through the centuries until they landed here, in this... my community.

Dexter

Cops, another community I'm not part of.

Dexter

[Voiceover] Great - security lights. Just what every serial killer needs.

Dexter

[To Andy] You're gonna stop breaking things, stop rolling cars down the street. Stop everything you've been doing. If you so much as touch another window, I will come back here, and I will leave with your head in a bag. I already have the bag.

Dexter

[Voiceover] Everyone needs a vacation. In my case, it's time off for bad behavior. But I intend to make the most of this family trip...that they're taking without me.
