Lila quotes from Dexter

Rita

I can do this more often now that my mom's in town. I feel like we're being bad.

Dexter

Bad. Bad is good.

Rita

Let the machine get it.

Lila

[on the answering machine] Hey, Dex, just calling to check in. Thought we could do the debriefing on dinner. I thought it went well, don't you?

Rita

Mmm I'd say so.

Lila

[on the answering machine] Rita's sweet, very Martha Stewart.

Dexter

I love Martha Stewart!

Lila

[on the answering machine] God, her mum, she's got quite the rod up her ass, doesn't she? By the way, I am such a twat. I can't believe I almost slipped up about your mum. Mind you, it could've been worse. I could've spilled the beans about our road trip.

Rita

Don't you dare!

Lila

[on the answering machine] Can you imagine Rita's face if I told her you and I spent the night together in a hotel?

Rita

You and Lila spent the night in a hotel together?!

Dexter

We had adjoining rooms!

Rita

Adjoining rooms? God, I am such an idiot. I can't believe I defended you to my mother while you were off sleeping with another woman!!

Dexter

Rita, wait!

Rita

I thought you were different than Paul, but you're the same. You know what, actually, you're worse. You made me trust you.

Dexter

Please just let me expl-

Rita

I've had it! I have been patient and understanding, but there's only so much I can take. You are a liar and a cheat, and I am through. It's over, Dexter! [storms out]

Lila

Did somebody drink all the coffee again?

Debra

No, somebody didn't drink all the coffee. I had a cup and Dexter had a cup, and it just kinda went like that until the [imitating Lila's British accent] pot was empty.

Dexter

Deb ...

Debra

What? Somebody didn't drink all the coffee. It's a stupid question.

Dexter

What's this? [chuckles] It's the dragon zombie. Cody likes to hide things in my bag.

Lila

He's trying to control you. By hiding toys in your bag, you have no choice but to return them to him.

Dexter

He's seven. He seldom has thoughts more complicated than the desire for candy.

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.

Lila

What do you think I wanted?

Dexter

To know what it's like. To feel something that deeply. Anything. That's why you hang out in recovery groups. You're emotionally colorblind. You use the right words, you pantomime the right behavior, but the feelings never come to pass.

Lila

It's not true.

Dexter

It is, Lila. You know the dictionary definition of emotions. Longing, joy, sorrow. But you have no idea what any of those things actually feel like.
