[voiceover] There are few milestones in life that evoke a stronger response than our final act: death. What was once moving, speaking, killing, and threatening becomes nothing but an empty vessel, which is not so different from how I've always felt.

That was awkward. I don't think I've ever been asked to leave a funeral before.
Ramon didn't ask you to leave – he pushed you out the door. He's just so angry.
He's lost two brothers. He doesn't know whom to blame.
Certainly not you.
[voiceover] No, certainly not me.
[voiceover, trying to write vows] Darling Rita, once you were a dream and a prayer. Now our future is as bright as the sun glinting off the morning dew, and I vow that I will –. Sounds like I'm marrying a unicorn.
They all say the same thing, "King was a very polite gardener, can't believe he's the Skinner."
I hate polite killers.
[voiceover, bound to a table] Such a familiar situation. Such an unfamiliar perspective.
You're completely different from me. You're laid back, and musician-y, and unambitious. You're like Valium.
And you're like Red Bull.
You are the best thing that has happened to me.
[voiceover] We all have secrets. In that way, I'm just like everyone else – sorta.
Ugh me in a dress – I feel like a transvestite.
Enough of this sappy shit. Lets get you fucking hitched!
I promise, to be the very best husband, and father that I can be. [voiceover] A completely, utterly honest vow.
Ramon didn't ask you to leave. He pushed you out the door.
Yeah, he was drunk.
I could smell the fumes. He's just so angry.
He's lost two brothers. He doesn't know who to blame.
Well, certainly not you.
[voiceover] A wolf would chew off its own paw, its survival instinct is that fierce. So is mine.
[voiceover] Dexter Morgan. Family man. All my previous attempts at human connection have ended in, well death. And now I have a partner for life. How did that happen? Am I drawn to the safety of belonging, or being part of something bigger than me? Either way I'm a married man. Soon to be a father. But what do I have to offer a child? Just me. Demented Daddy Dexter. Maybe I'm making the biggest mistake of my life. But who's perfect? Certainly not me. Certainly not Harry. Sure I'm still who I was, who I am. Question is what do I become? There are so many blanks left to fill in. But right now at this moment I'm content. Maybe even... happy. And I have to admit when all is said and done, life is good.
