James Doakes quotes from Dexter

Doakes

I knew there was something wrong with you. The secrets, the sneaking around. Now it all makes sense. Lot of cops have been where you are. The booze, the drugs. Makes the job go down easier. Stay clean, and stay out of my way, and we won't have a problem.

Doakes

Oh, and you owe me a new Michelin, you motherfucker.

Doakes

Tell me that shit wasn't stolen from Saddam's palace!

Dexter

[voiceover] I like to pretend I'm alone. Completely alone. Maybe post-apocalypse or plague ... whatever. No one left to act normal for. No need to hide who I really am. It would be ... freeing.

Doakes

Stop grinning like a fucking psycho and get back to work!

Debra

[eating cake] Hey, you want some? It's Kirk Wylocks' cake.

Doakes

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.

Debra

Cake's still good; it's mocha, I think.

Doakes

It started out vanilla.

Doakes

Morgan, get your ass over here.

Dexter

Ass en route.

Debra

Dexter, heads up. Bad in there.

Dexter

Okay.

Debra

I'm serious.

Dexter

Okay.

Doakes

She's not kidding. It's your wet dream in there!

Dexter

Okay ...

Doakes

You just found out that somebody who's supposed to be your friend is going to live. Does that make you feel anything? Anything at all? [grabbing Dexter's shoulder]

Dexter

Take your fucking hand off me.

Doakes

Just what I always thought.

Doakes

Surprise, motherfucker!

Dexter

Are you following me now?

Doakes

You better have a hell of a reason for being here.

Dexter

I'm looking for my sister.

Doakes

In a cargo box?

Dexter

Yeah. I'm kinda working on a theory.

Doakes

You forget your work for the fucking cops!? We love theories! Come on! Spin me a story, asshole!

Dexter

Hey, Sergeant. Thanks for supporting the bowling team.

Doakes

Fuck you.

Doakes

So, titty site?

Dexter

Oops. You caught me.

Doakes

Bullshit. What were you really doing in here?

Dexter

[pointing to the laptop screen] The tits are right there.

Doakes

Yeah. But in ten years, you've never rented a single porn title.

Angel

First she's a messenger –

Doakes

Now she's a god damn message.

Doakes

Why don't you take a picture, Morgan? It'll last longer.

Dexter

What would I do without you, Sergeant?

Doakes

Go ahead. Try it. I've been waiting.

Dexter

This neighbourhood? [shines the torch on himself] It's full of crazies. I'd lock my doors.

Doakes

Any idea who the FBI's sending?

Angel

Some guy named Lundy.

Doakes

Frank Lundy? He's a rock star. The Green River Killer; the DC Sniper; the case was impossible – he broke it.

Now, James, you should do whatever you can to get on Lundy's task force. It's a career maker.

Angel

Hey. Just visualise that door of opportunity just opening up wide for you, and just ... walk right through it.

Doakes

Angel, you keep up with this woo-woo shit, I'ma walk right through you.
