Dexter quotes

I may have a job for you.

Really? And what would that be?

Looking into someone.

Who?

Guy I work with. Interested?

I don't know if I should be, considering who's sitting in front of me, making the offer.

What are you talking about? Have I ever fucked you over?

No, but LaGuerta just taught me there's always a first time. Look, Quinn, you fuck with the bull, you get the horn. You understand?

Yeah. Do you?

You got a name?

Dexter Morgan.

Dexter

[voiceover] Another part of my life packed away.

[to Harrison] Can you say "Bye-Bye daddy?"

Die-Die.

Did you hear that?

Dexter

He said "Die-Die".

Don´t be silly. he said "Bye-Bye". Harrison´s first words. He´s a good boy.

Dexter

[voiceover] I hope so.

Dexter

[voiceover] Lumen didn't witness her mother's murder, but she was born in blood like me. Some experiences are so big they change your DNA.

Dexter

I remember your first words: shoes. You were very girly once upon a time.

Debra

That's funny. I always remember my first words as being, 'Hurry the fuck up.'

Debra

What in the mother of fuck went on in here?

Masuka

I know exactly what happened. Two words: autoerotic mummification. See, Mr. Plastic Man shot Captain Bloody Underpants while Underpants was in the choke.

Lumen

Why do you have that in your purse?

Dexter

It's not a purse.

Lumen

I know you. What you are, deep down. Aside from your police job and your "extracurricular activities". You're a father. I saw the pictures out there. Three children?

Dexter

The two oldest are with their grandparents. Their dad's mom and dad.

Lumen

You have a son?

Dexter

Harrison. He just started talking, today. He's tremendous.

Lumen

It's just the two of you?

Dexter

And an Irish superhero nanny. I never thought my life would turn out like this.

Lumen

I had imagined a totally different life for myself too. I always did everything by the book, you know? Go, go, go. I never stopped to think. There was high school, and college, and graduate school. Owen. We were gonna get married at the house that I grew up in. On my wedding day I, I tried on the dress, and I looked at the window in the backyard where the aisle was, and I saw everything that that aisle was leading to. Babies, and matching dinnerware. Sunday barbecues. And I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there, and find something ... more. Then, everything happened, and [pause] I actually thought "This is what I get. For trying to live my own life." Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

Dexter

[quietly] A little.

Lumen

But tonight, I felt this like, this... peace. And it's because he's dead. [Pause, and then painfully] And I know that it's not gonna last. And when it wears of, I'm gonna have to find the rest of them. [tearfully] Because that's the only way that I'll find that peace again. I don't even have a name for what I'm feeling.

Dexter

[voiceover] I do. The Dark Passenger. I can't get revenge for Rita's death, but I can help Lumen avenge what was done to her. [Pause, and then aloud] How many more were there?

Debra

Any idea where you want to live? I'm sorry. That was a stupid question. You should take the apartment.

Dexter

No. No, that's yours.

Debra

No, I insist. It's really always been yours.

Lumen

The night that I was taken, I had gone to a bar. I thought that they spotted me there, so I went back to that same bar night after night, hoping that one of them would walk through the door. I wore a disguise.

Dexter

Disguise?

Lumen

A wig, so they wouldn't recognize me.

Dexter

I know what a disguise is for. So, you went to the bar, you waited for one of them to show up. Where? What bar?

Lumen

Hurricane 26.

Dexter

Hurricane 26 is all the way over on Ocean Avenue. How'd you get all the way out here?

Lumen

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Dexter

So, go on.

Lumen

Tonight one of them showed up. He didn't know it was me, so I...I flirted with him. I asked him if he wanted to go someplace else. We got in the car, I pulled out my gun, and I forced him to drive. This place seemed deserted, so we stopped, and I marched him inside.

Dexter

And you shot him.

Lumen

No. I asked him for the names of the other men. He called me a cunt. Then I shot him.

Lumen

[Dexter has asked her to describe her attackers] Besides the ones we've already ... taken care of? There was watch-guy.

Dexter

Watch-guy?

Lumen

I would be tied to a chair, blindfolded. Sometimes I wouldn't even know if he was there until I heard this watch by my ear. And then he'd lean in and whisper "Tick, tick, tick, that´s the sound of your life running out."

Dexter

Okay. Anyone else?

Lumen

Suit and tie. He'd take off his jacket and fold it, very carefully, and then lay it on a chair. Like he didn't want to mess it up. The suit guy I'd know, he always took the blindfold off. I guess he thought I'd be dead soon.

Dexter

He was wrong.

Lumen

[looking at a picture of Jordan Chase and Masuka]: I mean, that guy's clearly a freak (Dexter looks confused), but I don't know him.

Dexter

[instantly] No, not the bald guy. The guy beside him, Jordan Chase.

Dexter

[on Jordan Chase] If that's the watch Lumen heard, I'll make sure it accompanies you to the bottom of the Atlantic.

Debra

Shit a brick and fuck me with it, you're never going to believe who this truck is registered to.

Dexter

[voiceover about Harrison] He doesn't need Saint Brigid; he has father Dexter.
