TV show quotes
If it wasn't for you, I'd have never made it through high school. You saved my life.
I saved your...how?
We had so many classes together, and I'd always sit right behind you. Every test we took, I'd copy all your answers. It's how I got through.
What is going on with you? You're acting so weird lately.
I'm not acting weird, I...
You're about to drink the candle.
Rituals are important. Not only for a serial killer, but also for a two-year-old if you want him to go to bed on time. Not that I mind. This ritual has become my favorite. Bedtime, alone with my son. Being myself.
Monster story, Daddy.
Again? [Voiceover: OK, I may have told him this one before.] Once upon a time there was a little chino, scaring everyone in the hood. Nobody knew what to do... But Daddy did. He would slay that icky monster, hiding what was left of him in a special place that no one would ever find.
Daddy's box.
You know about Daddy's box?
Quinn just fucking proposed to me over fucking pancakes. What the fuck is wrong with him?
He's Quinn?
I never wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
So I take it this means it's a "no"?
Dexter, you got a minute?
Yeah, I need to get to my lab.
Has Deb mentioned anything to you, you know, about us?
She may have said you proposed.
And?
The pancakes weren't bad.
Brother Sam?
One big, bad, ex-con turned minister...runs an auto shop using former inmates. And, as you can see, some of our brothers in blue think it's a sham.
[Voiceover: They may be right. That can't be a man of the cloth. That's a killer.]
[voiceover] We all want life to have some kind of meaning. Seems the older we get, the harder we look for it. And the harder it is to find. And some of us just look in the wrong place. But if our lives don't have meaning, what can we leave behind for those we care about?
[To Dexter] I remember when I found that under your bed. I would have rather it had been a stack of Playboys. Most kids in eighth grade were obsessed over their favorite baseball players. You tracked serial killers.
Sounds like you're trying to get me to go to church.
So what? What? You afraid you gonna catch something?
[To himself] He's the Tooth Fairy. The man who terrorized the Pacific for 20 years. All he has left is a box of tooth.
Here's my prescription. Just pick it up for me, will you?
Sure.
Hey, hey, hey! And a six-pack beer from the liquor store and the latest Teen Ass, Nipple Parade and Spanked.
Teen Ass, Nipple Parade and Spanked. [Voiceover: Can this really be the man who inspired me to keep a scrapbook?]
I took teeth. You take blood. You're the same kind of sick fuck, aren't you?
At least I'm never gonna end up like you.
Yeah? When you can't do this any more, what do you have then?
More.
You're kidding yourself, asshole. All I ever cared about was killing, and I can't even do that right any more. That's what you've got to look forward to. This is your future, and it includes adult fucking diapers!
You are not my future. I will not spend my final days getting drunk and staring at a box of trophies.
Keep telling yourself that. Make sure they know who I am. I wish I could see the look on my son's face when he finds out. He won't be able to ignore that!
I'd never want my son to find out who I was.
You said you didn't have a kid.
I also said my name was Dan.
I was drawn to science out of curiosity. Any questions I had, the answers were already there, but even science is never certain, even the soundest of theories is subject to new data. And there are some things even science can't explain. Brother Sam would say it's not an accident that I've stumbled onto a killer that seems to have his own kind of faith. And while I don't believe in an unseen hand creating his own tableau, I do believe I don't have all the answers.
It's about, surrender to something greater than yourself.
I don't get it.
Man, just look around. You think you can make the sun come up in the morning? You think you can make the tide come in?
No, but that's the Earth rotating on its axis, the pull of the moon.
So you do believe in something greater than yourself.
