Debra[To Dexter] What is it about your personal law that is so much better than the one that the rest of us agree to live by?
DebraWatching ice melt. This is fun.
Stand a little closer, Morgan, and I'll melt your heart.
I think he's got a crush on you, Dex!
Huh?
Yo, I was talking to Morgan the sister. Vince Masuka only swings one way.
DebraYeah, from vine to vine
Enough! Glad to see the sexual harassment seminar really paid off.
DebraI'm real proud of you for coming, bro. I know you hate funerals. How are you holding up?
I'm managing. [voiceover] No, I'm not. Keeping my face pinched in sorrow for two hours is a real chore.
DebraThe guy's missing body parts because of this Ice-Truck Killer asshole, and he's still hitting on me!
That's because men only think with one body part, and that one was not cut off.
The Ice-Truck Killer drains the blood from his victims, freezes the bodies, and only then severs their limbs. It's clean and efficient, that's his psychological signature. Neil Perry, on the other hand, stuffs roadkill.
DebraYeah! And turns 'em into fucked up fantasy shit.
But the fantasies are all wrong! The guy we're looking for wouldn't turn dead dirty things into living cartoons, he'd find that pathetic.
DebraHow do you know?
[pause] Because it is pathetic.
Debra[answering Dexter's phone] Morgan here.
Wait, did I call the hot Morgan by mistake? Freudian. My subconscious has been exposed. [laughs]
DebraWell, zip it up and tell me what's going on.
Debra[eating cake] Hey, you want some? It's Kirk Wylocks' cake.
I had some, at Kirk's birthday. 10 days ago. See, if you have lunch every day with your boyfriend, you miss a thing or two around here.
DebraCake's still good; it's mocha, I think.
It started out vanilla.
DebraDexter, heads up. Bad in there.
Okay.
DebraI'm serious.
Okay.
She's not kidding. It's your wet dream in there!
Okay ...
Debra Morgan, will you marry me?
DebraI knew it, I fucking knew it!
Is that your version of a yes?
You know the one thing I've been dying to ask you? How did you not know who I was? You're a cop.
DebraThis isn't funny.
I think a real cop would at least have a sense she was in the presence of the person she was hunting.
Debra[sobbing] This isn't you.
Pretty sure it is.
DebraNo, no there's more. I've seen it.
I never wanted to hurt you.
DebraI know. I know.
[pause] Does this make it easier for you? Because I can keep going.
You've been benched?
DebraYeah, LaGuerta's just jealous that the Ice Truck Killer fucked me instead of her.
Wow... You're chipper
[Dexter packs away several killing tools while on the phone to Rita]
I need your help. I know how much you were looking forward to going out tonight, but I think Deb could use you more.
Dexter, this ... isn't about this morning, is it?
No, no! I swear! This is about Deb. She had her first day at work today, and LaGuerta was kind of rough on her.
[Debra knocks on the door]
DebraDexter, unlock the door.
[to Rita] Hold on. [to Debra] Hold on!
DebraDexter, come on! Dexter, open the fucking door!
[to Rita] See, she's yelling at me now. Look, I'm no expert, but I think Deb could use some girl time tonight.
Well, I won't lie. I'm a little disappointed. But, I know your heart's in the right place.
[Dexter puts a butcher's knife in a bag]
Absolutely.
I forgot that I had promised to sub for another bowling team.
DebraWhy do you look so happy about it?
...I like bowling, what can I say? Look will you take Rita out for me? She hired a babysitter and everything.
DebraNo way, I need to work out.
Actually, you need to stop working out. It's getting unhealthy. You should go out for some hard liquor instead.
Debra[starts running] Sorry bro.
Deb, please! When do I ever ask you for anything?
Debra[stops running] You bung hole. Why did you have to put it that way?
She's expecting you in half an hour. You're a life saver!
DebraBathroom's all yours.
Eh. Kind of always was.
