Debra and Dexter in “Monkey in a Box”

Debra

God, this is such a mind fuck! After tomorrow, you're not gonna be here. What the fuck does that look like?

Dexter

We both start over.

Debra

Is that even possible?

Dexter

Yeah, I think so. Don't you?

Debra

It's just every fucked up-- Every time I've been a complete mess, you've been there for me. Even when it was your fault that I was fucked up you've never given up on me. So if I can't make this work, going back to being a cop again, then who the fuck is gonna help me pick up the pieces of that?

Dexter

You're not that person anymore. You're stronger than that. You're stronger than I'll ever be.

Debra

I'm not.

Dexter

Deb, Dad and Vogel gave me the code so I'd know the right thing to do, but you've always just known. It's the compass I always wished I had. And as long as you listen to that you won't need me. You'll be fine.

Debra

Maybe. But don't ever think that it was the code that made you a good brother. There's a human being in there. There always has been. Even if you can't see it.
