James Doakes quotes from Dexter

Dexter

I'm sure Special Ops taught you to rattle your captor, but I should warn you, Sergeant. You can't play on my feelings. I don't have any.

Doakes

Oh, really. Who's lying now?

Doakes

You're not gonna do what I think you are.

Dexter

There's no point in hiding it now, Sergeant. Your life is going to rest in the hands of the criminal justice system you put all your faith in. I wish you the best of luck.

Doakes

Morgan, God damn it, you got a conscience, man, you said it yourself! You go after killers, you take out killers, I get that. But this, this is some sick fuck ritual, man, you need help. Let me help you, man.

Dexter

Don't worry, Sergeant. I won't make you watch. I'm not uncivilized.

Dexter

[voiceover] It was me. The idea of a code was one thing, a grand idea, a noble cause. But the reality of it ... Harry walked in on what he created. And he couldn't live with himself.

Doakes

What, Morgan? What now?

Dexter

I killed my father.

Dexter

[voiceover] I always thought hardening arteries squeezed the life out of my father. But it was me. Harry gazed into the eyes of his creation and saw evil, pure and simple. My evil. It killed him.

Doakes

That shit about your father. You wanna talk about it?

Dexter

About what? That my life is one tragic mistake?

Doakes

We've all felt that at one time or another. I know I have.

Dexter

Did you happen to be stuffing a human leg into a garbage bag at that point?

Dexter

If I do this, I need a day to get my affairs in order.

Doakes

That's fine. Tie me up, throw me in the trunk, come on, let's go.

Lila

Who put you in there?

Doakes

A fucking psycho. And he could be back any minute. Grab that key, right behind you on the wall.

Lila

Who is he?

Doakes

His name is Dexter Morgan. I need you to open this gate.

Lila

Why would he do that, put you in there?

Doakes

Because I found out that he's the fucking Bay Harbor Butcher! Please, just open this fucking gate!

Lila

He's the Butcher ...?

Doakes

This is what I've been trying to tell you.

Lila

What's in there?

Doakes

Exactly what you think it is. It's evidence. And I saw what happened. I really need to get out this cage, lady.

Lila

Poor thing, all alone ...

Doakes

I'm okay. Just open the gate.

Lila

Not you, Dexter. Hiding such an enormous secret ... what burden that's got to be. No wonder he was so shut down.

Doakes

What are you? His accomplice?

Lila

His soulmate.
