Debra Morgan quotes from Dexter

Debra

Skinner's had him for 24 hours. How long do you think he can hold out?

Dexter

Well, the M.E.'s report on the other victims suggests that the Skinner starts slow, probably to build fear. Anton's a big guy, lot of skin. [Debra looking horrified] ... That's meant to be comforting.

Debra

They all say the same thing, "King was a very polite gardener, can't believe he's the Skinner."

I hate polite killers.

Debra

You're completely different from me. You're laid back, and musician-y, and unambitious. You're like Valium.

Anton

And you're like Red Bull.

Debra

You are the best thing that has happened to me.

Anton

[pauses during sex with Debra] Hey, do you think you could TiVo Jon Stewart for me?

Debra

You're thinking about Jon Stewart?

Anton

Well, he is handsome and funny...

Debra

You can't even see our blood. It's like it never happened.

Dexter

Deb?

Debra

What the fuck's your problem?

Dexter

I got here as fast as I could.

Debra

You have everything, and you're doing your goddamn best to throw it all away.

Dexter

[sighs] Rita told you about the apartment?

Debra

What the fuck were you thinking? You have to make this right.

Dexter

I'm not sure I know how.

Debra

You figure it out. I'm the fuck-up in the family. Not you.

Dexter

Don't say that.

Debra

You have a choice. To be a good husband. To be a good father.

Dexter

I know. It's just... sometimes I feel trapped.

Debra

By what? Three kids? A wife who adores you? Yesterday, I had Lundy and Anton. And now they're gone because of me.

Dexter

You didn't do anything wrong.

Debra

It doesn't matter what I do. Or what I choose. I'm what's wrong! There's nothing I can do about it. If I'm not hurting myself, I'm hurting everyone around me. There's nothing I can do about it. [voice cracking] I'm... I'm broken!!

Dexter

No, you're not... I am. [reaching for her] Why don't we go back to the house-

Debra

Don't! Don't! [sobbing] I need to be here! Where Lundy died. I can't do a fucking thing about it! [breaks down in Dexter's arms]

Dexter

[voiceover] My sister doesn't deserve to be in this kind of pain. But I know who does.

Masuka

Chocolate lava cakes, my specialty.

Debra

You have a specialty?

Masuka

A river of chocolate love that melts in your mouth.

Debra

Wow. You can make anything sound perverted.

Masuka

It's a gift.

Dexter

Who's that?

Debra

One of Dad's old fuck buddies. Emphasis on old.

Debra

I have something to tell you. And maybe I shouldn't. I don't know.

Dexter

OK.

Debra

I found another CI Dad was sleeping with. A woman named named Laura Moser.

Dexter

[Voiceover] Harry was right. This is it.

Debra

Does that name mean anything to you?

Dexter

Should it?

Debra

It doesn't? Look, she died, but she left behind two little boys. And one of those little boys was you. Laura Moser is your biological mother.

Dexter

[Voiceover] Don't say the rest. Don't know it.

Debra

The other little boy, your brother, was named Brian. Brian Moser - the Ice Truck Killer.

Masuka

She was still alive when they cut her head off. Excision of eyes and tongue was done postmortem.

Debra

That's considerate of them.

Angel

How's it going in there?

Debra

Masuka said he really likes working with the blood. He hopes he can get more assignments like this.

Angel

I'll keep that in mind. Let me ask you a question. If you were married, and you found out that the person you were married to had a secret bank account with a lot of money, do you think that person should share it?

Debra

Jesus, Angel. Just because you married her doesn't mean you own her. It's her money. End of story.

Debra

I'm just trying to get the truth. However long that takes is up to you.

I'm telling you the truth. I'm not lying.

Debra

First you said you didn't do drugs, and then you said you did.

I said I might have tried some at a Tri Delt party once.

Debra

You might have? What the fuck does that even mean? You did or you didn't. You can't kind of do blow.

But that was six years ago in college.

Debra

And I'm supposed to believe you're not on anything now?

I'm totally clean.

Debra

Then why are you so nervous?

Because I wasn't expecting on getting these kind of questions. I mean, you sound like a cop.

Debra

I am a cop. I work for Miami Metro Homicide.

Look, I don't know what's going on here. I came for a nanny job. I'm not like, planning to kill the president.

Dexter

[Voiceover: Harrison needs a nanny and Deb insisted on running point. The way it's going, only Mary Poppins would make the cut.]

Debra

When you lose someone close, routine can be a ladder that can help you climb back into some kind of normalcy.

Dexter

Where'd you hear that?

Debra

I am capable of independent thought, Dexter. Oprah.

Masuka

The dragon lady represents the dualities of my inner warrior.

Debra

Or your inner idiot

Masuka

Hey, if you can't muster up some respect, I'm dropping the curtain.

Masuka

Tramp stamp. I think I'm in love.

Debra

If she's into needles, why don't you show her your dick?

Dexter

Are you and Quinn...?

Debra

We're fuck buddies. That's it.

Dexter

You need Quinn for that?

Debra

I know it's insane. I know it's...wrong for a fuck-ton of reas... Will you please stop looking at me like that?

Dexter

It's your life, Deb. Just don't bring him around when Harrison's here.

Debra

What's that supposed to mean?

Dexter

Well, he's at an impressionable age. We don't know what might rub off on him.
