“A Beautiful Day” quotes from Dexter

Batista

Hey, what do we have?

Dexter

Robert Bailey, killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest, right above the heart.

Masuka

Judging from the stippling on the wound, it looks like the muzzle of the gun was in contact with the victim's chest when fired.

Batista

Suicide?

Dexter

No, the victim was killed elsewhere and dumped here. [Dexter lifts the victim's head. A part of the head falls. He raises the part to reveal a piece of the brain] Parietal and occipital bone sliced through. Back of the cranium removed.

Batista

Okay, that's weird.

Dexter

And looks like a piece of it has been scooped out, like with a melon baller.

Just got weirder.

We have a gun.

Batista

So someone shoots this guy, cuts his head open, and messes with his brain. He takes the body and the weapon and brings them all the way out here. Why?

Dexter

People are crazy.

Debra

Do you wanna know why I'm not returning your phone calls? Because I don't wanna talk to you. And I really don't wanna fucking see you.

Dexter

Why?

Debra

Why!? Umm, because you made me compromise everything about myself I care about. And I hate you for it.

Dexter

No you don't.

Debra

I shot the wrong person in that trailer.

Dexter

I came here to save you.

Debra

No.

Dexter

Deb, look at yourself. You're lost!

Debra

I am not lost! I know exactly where I am. I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve! But you! You are lost! All my life, I thought I needed you. That I couldn't survive without you. Fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around! It was the other way around.

Dexter

[voiceover] Debra was right. I was wrong. It's me who's lost. A better person would let her go. But I don't know how. Without her, I don't know who I am anymore.

You can't kill me.

Dexter

Why?

Because I don't fit Harry's code.
