Saxon and Dexter in “Monkey in a Box”

I have a proposal. I figured the safest way to deliver it was to bring a referee.

Dexter

I'm listening.

We walk away.

Dexter

Walk away?

From each other. We take our separate paths, lead our separate lives. I forget about you, you forget about me.

Dexter

You went out of your way to kill your mother in front of me, and you expect me to forget?

[chuckles] That may have been a little over the top, but I was trying to make a point.

Dexter

I missed the point.

It was a test, to see if, this time, she would finally choose me. Well, we both know how that turned out.

Dexter

So, naturally you had to cut her throat.

You know what it's like to kill. It can be cathartic... and it was. That's why I'm giving you a choice: Go on with your life, or come after me.
