Debra Morgan quotes from Dexter

Jamie

He came in here to give you a good night kiss, not look at pictures of dead bodies.

Debra

Yeah, well, maybe if you gave me a little warning.

Jamie

Isn't there anywhere else you can do this, Deb?

Debra

Right now? No. Nowhere.

Jamie

Really? The lieutenant doesn't get an office?

Debra

I don't like my office. I like to work here. Harrison's got an entire goddamn apartment over there. I've got jack shit.

Is that really what's bothering you?

Debra

What? What... What the fuck else?

Maybe you're jealous.

Debra

Are you kidding? I could give a fuck who you fuck. Just don't fuck with my investigation, you fuck.

Debra

It's Trinity. He's back. He killed again.

Dexter

He... What?

Debra

Two people. Family members, his wife, Sally Mitchell, and his daughter Rebecca. Witpro placed the Mitchells in the middle of Bumfuck, Nebraska, and somehow Trinity managed to track them down.

Brian

Well, not Trinity. You killed Trinity.

Dexter

What about his son, Jonah?

Debra

Trinity came after him, too, but Jonah survived the attack.

Brian

How lucky.

Dexter

Didn't he say what happen?

Debra

According to his statement, Jonah came home from work and saw Trinity push Sally down the stairs and begin to beat her. Jonah fought him off. Trinity ran. And Jonah went upstairs and found Rebecca dead in a tub.

Brian

Or Jonah killed them and is masquerading as the Trinity Killer.

Dexter

And this all happened in Nebraska?

Debra

Some town called Kearney.

Brian

Road trip.

Debra

Brother Sam's death is hard enough on you, I'm sure, and to top it off with this...

Brian

Let's go kill Jonah.

Dexter

I... I'm gonna need some time.

Debra

Whatever you need. Take the day.

Debra

Well, look what the fucking cat dragged in.

Dexter

The cat also brought coffee and doughnuts.

Debra

Why do you have a pen from the Shady Lane Motel at Kearney, Nebraska?

Dexter

Must have picked it up somewhere.

Debra

Yeah, at the Shady Lane Motel in Kearney, Nebraska.

From what I do know about you, you feel things very deeply. Like your bond with Dexter. Where do you think that sterns from?

Debra

Maybe because he's the only guy in my life that I haven't dumped, or cheated on or...isn't dead.

Is it possible that your feelings for Dexter are the reason that you've chosen men in the past who have been either inappropriate or unavailable?

Debra

Because they're what? Not Dexter? That's insane.

Is it?

Debra

He's my brother.

Yet you're not biologically related.

Debra

So?

It would be understandable; given the past traumas the two of you have shared, for you to develop complex feelings for him.

Debra

Why the fuck are we even talking about this?

You mentioned Dexter. He comes up in these sessions a lot. Aren't you curious as to why that is?

Debra

He's a huge part of my life. That's it. End of story.

You getting upset?

Debra

Fuck, yes, I'm getting upset, because you're making it sound like I want to...be with him or something.

Well, do you?

Debra

Look, I love my brother, but I am sure as shit not in love with my brother, if that's what you're getting at. We're done here.

Debra

I love you.

Dexter

I love you, too.

Debra

You do?

Dexter

Of course I do.

Debra

I don't think you've ever said it before.

What's the painting of?

Debra

It's the beast being thrown into the lake of fire. It's the last tableau.

Angel

Why do you think he smashed in the face?

Dexter

I can't imagine.

His car wasn't found at the crime scene - so...how'd he get to the church?

Debra

I'm guessing that a man who was about to stab himself in the heart with a sword probably wouldn't see a long walk as a big deal.

Debra

I had this weird flashback of being on Rudy's table...Brian's tab...whatever the fuck you wanna call him - your brother's table.

Dexter

Sorry, that must have felt...not good for you.

Debra

It didn't. But what bothers me is that I was set up on that table the same way Travis Marshall was set up on the altar.

Dexter

Deb...

Debra

I mean how do you explain that?

Debra

Does that happen a lot? I...I mean I know I should know his hours and everything, it's just that I'm always juggling things, so...

Jamie

Oh, yeah. He works crazy hours - lots of nights 'til 3, 4 a.m.

Debra

Did you kill all these people?

Dexter

I did.

Debra

Are you...? Are you a serial killer?

Dexter

Yes.

Debra

You make it sound like its OK - like you're the victim here. The people in that box, Dexter, they're the victims.

Dexter

Victims? A choir director who raped and murdered little boys? A married couple smuggling refugees who killed the ones who couldn't pay? A psychiatrist who manipulated women into taking their own lives?

Dexter

Sometimes the system doesn't work. Killers fall through the cracks.

Debra

Don't I fucking know it? I'm talking to one right now.

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.
