Dexter Morgan quotes from Dexter

Doakes

Why don't you take a picture, Morgan? It'll last longer.

Dexter

What would I do without you, Sergeant?

Doakes

Go ahead. Try it. I've been waiting.

Dexter

This neighbourhood? [shines the torch on himself] It's full of crazies. I'd lock my doors.

Debra

Bathroom's all yours.

Dexter

Eh. Kind of always was.

Masuka

I bet you this guy never expected his work to see the light of day.

Dexter

I bet you're right.

Dexter

Still, it can't be easy to hide a body nowadays.

Masuka

Are you shitting me?

Dexter

Hypothetical. You're the Bay Harbor Butcher. How do you make sure that disposed bodies stay disposed?

Masuka

Tons of options. Everglades. Alligators. Pig farms. Sulphuric acid. Woodchipper. Incinerator. Hell, even meat pies.

Lundy

So, let's get a jump start on the Bay Harbor Butcher. A moniker which, by the way, repulses me.

Dexter

[thoughts] Well, we have something in common.

Lundy

First report from the field had these parts as coming from one body.

Dexter

[thoughts] Actually, it's two.

Lundy

Actually, it's two.

Dexter

[thoughts] Uh-oh.

Lundy

There's been speculation that this human harvest is connected to a case we recently solved. But there are several inconsistencies between the two sets of body parts. Gender. Exhanguination. Specific methods of dissection.

Dexter

[thoughts] Not to mention my guys deserved it.

Some 'gators giving you trouble, Dex?

Dexter

They, uh, they ate my puppy.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Dexter

Thank you, father.

Brian

I'm not sorry.

Dexter

You're still here.

Brian

Never left.

Dexter

Yeah, you did. I killed you.

Brian

No. You just took my life.

Dexter

So, how do I make you go away?

Brian

Hm. Well, you could try doing what these people are doing.

Dexter

I'm not like them.

Brian

Well, if it helps, I can tell you that it's not your fault. What you did to me.

Dexter

I never said it was.

Brian

But you feel it.

Dexter

How do you know that?

Brian

It's human nature.

Dexter

I'm not human.

Brian

No. You're just fucked up.

Dexter

I need to let you go.

Brian

You think it's as simple as that?

Dexter

Nothing's simple.

Little Chino

What the fuck are you?

Dexter

Well, that kind of talk is gonna bring you closer to your victims.

Little Chino

Why are you doing this to me?

Dexter

I'm not so much as doing it to you, as I'm doing it for me.

Little Chino

You kill me ... what do you leave behind?

Dexter

A world without you.

Rita

Are you an addict?

Dexter

Yes. I have an addiction.

Debra

I saw some buildings with "for rent" signs. I'm gonna check 'em out. Then, Chez Dexter can return to its original, museum-like quality state.

Dexter

Deb, you don't need to do this.

Debra

Yes, I do.

Dexter

You don't need to do this now.

Debra

Well, what about the video tours of eligible apartments?

Dexter

Temporary insanity.

Debra

You sure?

Dexter

No. Get out.
