[voiceover] My father Harry taught me a few simple rules. Never hurt an innocent and never make a scene.

Harry? [voiceover] Where are you now?, when I really need you. When it´s my wife in a bodybag everybody is looking and it´s the neighbor crying, not me.
[voiceover] I've watched 67 people die, and at the moment of truth I looked into their eyes and I knew - and they knew - they got what they deserved. But what if that's not what happens, if you don't get what you deserve?
FBI? Fuckin' Bunch of Idiots?
I gotta tell you Dexter, don´t say things like "It was me". People will misunderstand. In fact I don´t understand; what did you even mean?
[on Rita´s body] I've imagined her naked plenty times, but never like this.
[about Rita] She had a big heart, big enough for the both of us, had to be, I wasn't even human when we first met. I never expected that to change. She reached out and found something I didn't even know was there. She never hurt anybody, she was innocent. And she died a brutal death and I can't fix it. But I know I have to try, here in Miami with the people who knew her... who cared about her, and who loved her... like I did.
I wish that it was just my mom and me and Cody and Harrison, because we all would have been better off if she'd never met you!
[about Dexter´s report to 911] His wife just died; he's submitting a lab report.
[talking to Rita's body] Hope you don't mind I chose that dress. You were wearing it when we first met. So I thought since I won't be at the funeral, since I don't deserve to be...Kids'll be fine with Deb. Way better off without me. I think we agree about that. I was never really honest with you. I'm a serial killer. That's what I am. I know I led you to believe I'm a human being, but I'm not. That's a lie.
[In flashback]
I know I should hang up right now, but I just need to say it. I don't know why exactly, but you make me feel good. Like things could be different.
So do you...Make me feel that way too, I mean.
Glad I called. I know I felt up in the air the way things ended. You know, like we never said a proper goodbye, so..
Goodbye, Rita Bennett.
Goodbye, Dexter Morgan.
[In the present]
Goodbye...
[Dexter has just impulsively brutally murdered someone in a deserted restroom]
That's the first human thing I've seen you do since she died Dexter.
I thought you'd left me.
I'm here. It's okay, son. To show what you're feeling.
[Dexter starts whimpering before letting out a primal scream]
They're not better off without you. You're not better off without them. You need to go back.
