Dexter Morgan quotes from Dexter

Debra

How does it feel, this need to kill? What do you call it?

Dexter

My dark passenger.

Debra

It sounds like you're possessed or something.

Debra

Can you promise me if that I wasn't on your ass that you wouldn't slip?

Dexter

I can promise you that if you don't get off my ass something bad is gonna happen.

Debra

Dexter, I've been thinking a lot about Rita. About how she died. She died because of you. Because you were selfish. You have a son. Harrison is three years old. Someone needs to protect him.

Dexter

I do.

Debra

Someone needs to protect him from you.

Isaak

That's true. I don't know who you are.

Dexter

If you ever find out you'll regret it.

Debra

You had that tenant with that weird fucking name. Lumen? It was her, wasn't it?

Dexter

It doesn't matter.

Debra

It was. Jesus fucking Christ, Dexter. You moved your girlfriend into the house where Trinity murdered your wife so you could kill together?

Dexter

Come on, I'm just gonna keep stalking you.

Hannah

I'm just... I'm just trying to do the right thing.

Dexter

Do the wrong thing.

Dexter

This can't happen again.

Hannah

Which part, the horse tranquilizer?

Dexter

The sex part.

Hannah

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

You broke into my apartment?

Dexter

No, I very carefully picked your lock.

Debra

I can't let this happen. There has to be some fucking justice. It's you, Dex.

Dexter

Me?

Debra

You know what I'm saying? She deserves it. I want you to make it right. Do what you do.

Debra

But, go figure, some asshole broke into his apartment and disappeared all the files on Hannah, thank you very much.

Dexter

[Voiceover: You're welcome.]

Dexter

How do you think you're gonna live with knowing you're responsible for a murder?

Debra

Don't tell me what I can and can't handle. Turns out there's a fuck-all lot that I can live with these days.

Debra

Are you fucking her?

Dexter

Deb, I can explain.

Debra

I know what fucking is - no explanation necessary.

Debra

Are you in love with her?

Dexter

I don't know.

Debra

Is it because she's a serial killer? Does that turn you on or something?

Isaak

That's how love is. It's a powerful weapon. It can work for us or against us, can't it?

Dexter

I don't understand much about love.

Isaak

I suppose the heart knows something that we just don't know.

Dexter

Or maybe the heart is just wrong.
