Brian quotes from Dexter

Brian

[To Dexter] I know how much you hate it when people get away with murder. Everyone, that is, except for yourself.

Brian

[To Dexter] Wouldn't it have been more fun to kill her than fuck her?

[while gift-wrapping dismembered parts] Deck the halls with parts of bodies, fa la la la la, la la la la.

Debra Morgan, will you marry me?

Debra

I knew it, I fucking knew it!

Is that your version of a yes?

You know the one thing I've been dying to ask you? How did you not know who I was? You're a cop.

Debra

This isn't funny.

I think a real cop would at least have a sense she was in the presence of the person she was hunting.

Debra

[sobbing] This isn't you.

Pretty sure it is.

Debra

No, no there's more. I've seen it.

I never wanted to hurt you.

Debra

I know. I know.

[pause] Does this make it easier for you? Because I can keep going.

I just wanted to have a beer with you before we got started. Made that kind of difficult.

Dexter

Sorry.

You don't ever have to apologize to me, Dexter. Not for who you are, or anything you do.

Looks just like it used to, doesn't it?

Dexter

Who does it belong to?

Me. I got it for you, actually.

Dexter

I'm really more an apartment person.

Your victims. Are they all killers?

Dexter

Yes.

Harry teach you that?

Dexter

He taught me a code. To survive.

Like an ... absurd avenger?

Dexter

That's not why I kill.

You can be yourself around me. Who. Am. I?

Dexter

A killer. Without reason or regret. Free.

You can be that way too.

Dexter

But the code ...

[laughs] Dex! You don't have a code. Harry did. Now he's been dead ten years. You can't keep – keep him sitting on your shoulder like Jiminy Fucking Cricket! You need to embrace who you are now.

Dexter

I don't know who I am.

'Course you don't. You've been away from your family since you were three. But I'm here now. I can help you. We can take this journey together.

Dexter

I can't. Not Deb ...

No – no, don't say that.

Dexter

I'm very ... fond of her.

You can't be a killer and a hero. It doesn't work that way!

I'm sorry for your loss.

Dexter

Thank you, father.

Brian

I'm not sorry.

Dexter

You're still here.

Brian

Never left.

Dexter

Yeah, you did. I killed you.

Brian

No. You just took my life.

Dexter

So, how do I make you go away?

Brian

Hm. Well, you could try doing what these people are doing.

Dexter

I'm not like them.

Brian

Well, if it helps, I can tell you that it's not your fault. What you did to me.

Dexter

I never said it was.

Brian

But you feel it.

Dexter

How do you know that?

Brian

It's human nature.

Dexter

I'm not human.

Brian

No. You're just fucked up.

Dexter

I need to let you go.

Brian

You think it's as simple as that?

Dexter

Nothing's simple.

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.

Brian

Why do you wake up your victims when they're on your table?

Dexter

I want them to know what they've done.

Brian

Bullshit! You like to watch the light go out of their eyes.
