“Slack Tide” quotes from Dexter

Dexter

Man has always been drawn to the sea. But it's an unnatural setting for us. A place of great danger. Tides, currents, waves, wind. Each presenting their own hazards. None of which can be ignored. The slightest lapse of judgement can be a mistake you might never recover from. But a good sailor doesn't fight against these elements. A good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage. While others, less fortunate might be forever cast adrift, often in several pieces, he always comes home safely.

Harry

He spent his life killing innocent people but he can't kill Bambi?

Dexter

[Voiceover] There's a moment sailors call slack tide... when the tide is neither coming in nor going out, but perfectly still. It's a moment frozen in time, when all is calm and peaceful. The only downside to it is that it passes so quickly. As much as we might like some things to remain suspended in time, they never do.

Rita

Where are you going?

Dexter

I gotta prep the boat. If we're camping out, we'll need a tent, sleeping bags, food, water. I gotta get two children's life vests. [Voiceover] Abduct Jonathan Farrow, take him back to his studio, kill him, cut him to pieces, dump him in the ocean. Honestly, Rita, this is gonna take some time.

Cody

Your turn, Dexter.

Dexter

Actually, I don't know any scary stories.

Come on. Give it a shot.

Come on.

Dexter

All right. There's a man. You can call him the Man of Three. You can call him Trinity. You can call him anything you want but the fact is he's not a man at all, he's a monster. He was born in a bathtub filled with blood. For countless years he's roamed the countryside killing the innocent, leaving behind bits of his dead sister. Sometimes he'll sneak up on a man and raise his hammer overhead... and then he'll swing it down...

Smash his own thumb and then go crying all the way home, like a little baby.
