[Drinking coffee]
Sugar is so much better than the artificial stuff, don't you think?
I guess.
Do you like milk or cream?
Neither.
Not exactly the chatty type, are you?
No.
“The Lion Sleeps Tonight” · Season 3, Episode 3
In this episode: Dexter Morgan (8), Debra Morgan (2), Rita Bennett (2), Joey Quinn (1), Sylvia Prado (1)
Rita's pregnant.
Say again?
Rita's pregnant.
You're lying.
I'm not lying.
A baby? A mother-fucking rolly-polly chubby-cheeked shit machine, are you kidding me?
I've never heard it described in quite those words before, but yeah.
Men are such babies. They need to be carried kicking and screaming into fatherhood.
[getting medically scanned, voiceover] It seems ironic that I, an expert on human dismemberment, have to pay 800 dollars to have myself virtually dissected.
[At yoga with Rita]
YIYoga Instructor
We are all strong warriors, all of us.
[voiceover] This is absolutely, without a doubt, the worst moment of my life.
YIYoga Instructor
Now, let's go into a little free-form yoga. Just let yourself dance.
[voiceover] I was wrong. This is.
YIYoga Instructor
See the dust dancing against the sunlight. Be as beautiful as the golden flakes of dust, Dexter.
[voiceover] I could probably kill her before anyone realized what happened.
[voiceover] The grocery store - the modern-day equivalent of the Serengeti, where the mighty lion goes to hunt. And my weaker brethren reward me with gifts.
You do your grocery list alphabetically?
How else would you do it?
What else did the doctor say?
He asked me a million questions about my medical history. There's a form for you to fill out too, but I told him you were adopted. I mean... Are there any details that you do know?
[voiceover] Like "Mom was killed by a chainsaw, my brother was killed by... well, me." That kind of stuff? [to Rita] No, I don't really know anything.
Have you started thinking about names yet? Not that I wanna push it on you or anything, but if you have a girl, Debra's a really good name!
...Deb I should tell you-
Oh my God what happened!?
Nothing happened! It's just I'm not sure I'm gonna be there to raise the baby.
...What?
I don't know if I'm gonna be a father to the kid. [Debra punches him in the arm] Ow!
Of course you are you moron.
Deb...
Shut the fuck up! How can you even say you're not gonna be a father to that kid! I mean where would you be without Harry!? And he wasn't even your biological father!
I just think I'm gonna be a lousy father, I don't wanna screw the kid up. [Debra punches him in the arm again] Would you please stop doing that!
Then stop saying stupid things! I mean first of all who are we kidding, you're gonna be a great father. And second, and much more important, big dumb brother of mine, this isn't about you.
...Who's it about?
...The baby. So it doesn't matter how scared you are. How reluctant or unprepared you might feel, the baby comes first. And that baby needs you.
