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!
S5 E1My Bad
[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.
S5 E2Hello, Bandit
[voiceover] Normally, having a target would make me feel good, give me direction, a sense of purpose. But now it means nothing. And I don't know what's going to make me feel better.
[voiceover] I suppose killing someone with my bare hands in a men's room was my way of working through the anger stage.
You come along and become a part of the family and we thought everything was going to be good forever. You made us think that! And it's not true; things got worse.
It's like when you get on a plane, they tell you if the oxygen masks come down, to put yours on first before taking care of the kids. I need to take care of my own needs, too. Otherwise, I'll be spinning out of control. That's not good for any one.
Let me ask you a question, hypothetical. Say a newly married person...accidentally discovers that his or her new spouse has a savings account with a lot of money. Is that something that one should expect to share?
Fuck, no. That's your money. You tell the lieutenant to keep her fuckin' hands off it.
She was still alive when they cut her head off. Excision of eyes and tongue was done postmortem.
That's considerate of them.
How's it going in there?
Masuka said he really likes working with the blood. He hopes he can get more assignments like this.
I'll keep that in mind. Let me ask you a question. If you were married, and you found out that the person you were married to had a secret bank account with a lot of money, do you think that person should share it?
Jesus, Angel. Just because you married her doesn't mean you own her. It's her money. End of story.
S5 E3Practically Perfect
[Dexter has just killed Fowler]
[voiceover] No church bells. No Hallelujah chorus. Nothing feels different. If anything, I'm emptier.
FFowler
Who are you?
Just a fellow traveler who also likes to pick up dead animals.
Damn. Don't people just shoot each other any more?
