I couldn't help myself. I couldn't. Please, you have to understand.
Trust me, I definitely understand. See, I can't help myself either. But children? I could never do that. Not like you. Never ... ever ... kids.
MDMike Donovan
Why?
I have standards.
[voiceover] Harry was a great cop here in Miami. He taught me how to think like one; he taught me how to cover my tracks. I'm a very neat monster.
[voiceover] Blood. Sometimes it sets my teeth on edge. Other times it helps me control the chaos.
[voiceover] There's something strange and disarming about looking at a homicide scene in the daylight of Miami. It makes the most grotesque killings look staged, like you're in a new and daring section of Disney World: Dahmerland!
So then he must have already had the head with him in the front seat. Huh, that's weird. Why would he keep it there?
I don't know. So he could use a carpool lane?
[voiceover about the doll parts in his freezer] I suppose I should be upset, even feel violated, but I'm not. No, in fact, I think this is a friendly message, like "Hey, wanna play?" And yes, I want to play. I really, really do.
SADetective Sergeant Angel Juan Marcos Batista
Left the tits and took off with head.
[voiceover] Tonight's the night. And it's going to happen again and again. Has to happen. Nice night. Miami is a great town. I love the Cuban food -- pork sandwiches are my favorite. But I'm hungry for something different now.
[voiceover] My name is Dexter. Dexter Morgan. I don't know what made me the way I am, but whatever it was left a hollow place inside. People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all and I fake them very well. And that's my burden, I guess. But I don't blame my foster parents for that, Harry and Doris Morgan did a wonderful job raising me. But they're both dead now. I didn't kill them. Honest.
[voiceover] Animals don't like me, especially dogs. I don't think they approve of what I sometimes do to their masters.
