Saxon quotes from Dexter

Miami's a great town. Lots of Cuban food, nice weather, murder solve rate's about 1 percent...

Feels good to cook for you again. It reminds me of what it was like to be your mother.

You think fixing breakfast makes you my mother again?

No.

You gave up the privilege a long time ago.

Daniel, whatever mistakes I've made in the past, I want to make it up to you. I can help you.

Help me how?

I can arrange for the care you need.

The care I need? I will never be locked up again.

I have contacts at the best facilities.

Like the last one you sent me to? Do you know what that was like? Day after day wondering when you'd finally come to visit, only to realize that the answer was never!

Daniel, I couldn't. You'd killed Richard.

That was your fault! You ignored me. All you ever cared about was Richard. You never tried to help me.

I was young, inexperienced. I didn't know how to help you.

But you sure as hell knew how to help Dexter Morgan. You taught him how to deal with his condition. You gave him everything you denied me. While I was rotting away, you gave him a life.

I know that. I do. It was a horrible mistake.

I was your son. I needed you.

Please...

Please what?!

Let me help you. I'm sorry for everything I've done. I truly, truly am.

I wish I could believe you. [Saxon stands up and leaves the house]

I have a proposal. I figured the safest way to deliver it was to bring a referee.

Dexter

I'm listening.

We walk away.

Dexter

Walk away?

From each other. We take our separate paths, lead our separate lives. I forget about you, you forget about me.

Dexter

You went out of your way to kill your mother in front of me, and you expect me to forget?

[chuckles] That may have been a little over the top, but I was trying to make a point.

Dexter

I missed the point.

It was a test, to see if, this time, she would finally choose me. Well, we both know how that turned out.

Dexter

So, naturally you had to cut her throat.

You know what it's like to kill. It can be cathartic... and it was. That's why I'm giving you a choice: Go on with your life, or come after me.

Dexter

This used to be my favorite moment, but now... I don't want to be here. [awestruck] I don't need to kill you.

Does that mean you're letting me live?

Dexter

No, you're still going to die — but now it'll be in the electric chair.

Dexter

I wish I could blame you for everything. For what you did to my sister. But I know it's all my fault. Should have walked away. You know, what you've actually done is opened my eyes. Forced me to look at myself. You made me see myself.

And what did you see?

Dexter

A trail of blood and body parts.

[smiles] What a pretty picture.

Dexter

In one sharp moment, you took away this foolish dream that I could have a happy life.

Is that why you're here? To tell me all this?

Dexter

No. I'm here to kill you with that pen.
