Debra Morgan quotes from Dexter

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.

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?

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?

Dexter

LaGuerta is the one who set me up.

Debra

So you repay the favour?

Dexter

Would you prefer my normal method of conflict resolution?

Debra

Not fucking funny.

Hannah

How's the wrist?

Debra

Stronger every day. How's facing life without the possibility of parole?

Debra, we've known each other a long time. Is there something you wanna get of your chest?

Debra

Yes. I think you've been under a lot of stress.

You wanna know what I think? I think I'm not the only one who made a mistake, trying to protect someone they care about.

Debra

Oh God...Dexter?

Dexter

You shouldn't be here.

Debra

Why...shouldn't I be here? What are you doing?

Dexter

What needs to be done.

Debra

Are you gonna kill her?

Dexter

You need to leave. I need to finish this.

Debra

Dexter you can't!

Dexter

I can. And I will.

Debra

No! Fuck, Jesus, Dexter you can't do this!

Dexter

It's the only solution. The only way to end this.

Debra

[getting hysterical] No, no, no I can't let you go through with this!!

[waking up] Shoot him Deb. You have to end this. Shoot him.

Debra

[aiming her gun at him] Stop!

Do it Debra! Shoot him!

Do it!! Shoot him!! This is not who you are. You're a good cop. You're a good person. You're not like him.

Put him down!!!

Debra

...

Dexter

It's true. Everything she said. You're a good person. It's okay...

Dexter

Do what you gotta do.

Debra

[crying] ...Dex...

Debra

[Sobbing hysterically] OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!!

Debra

Do you wanna know why I'm not returning your phone calls? Because I don't wanna talk to you. And I really don't wanna fucking see you.

Dexter

Why?

Debra

Why!? Umm, because you made me compromise everything about myself I care about. And I hate you for it.

Dexter

No you don't.

Debra

I shot the wrong person in that trailer.

Dexter

I came here to save you.

Debra

No.

Dexter

Deb, look at yourself. You're lost!

Debra

I am not lost! I know exactly where I am. I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve! But you! You are lost! All my life, I thought I needed you. That I couldn't survive without you. Fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around! It was the other way around.

Dexter

What if I weren't here to cover your ass?

Debra

You really wanna play the "what if" game? What if you weren't a serial killer? What if Harry had left you in that shipping container?
