Dexter · Season 2, Episode 3

Roger and Dexter in “An Inconvenient Lie”

Roger

Where am I?

Dexter

Looks different under plastic, but you spent an evening here with Anne Cowen. You took her last breath from her right over there, you remember?

Roger

No. Y-you're wrong. I wouldn't!

Dexter

No, you would. And you did. And you were about to do it again; that's why we're here.

Roger

No, this is crazy. You got the wrong guy. I-I sell cars, for God's sake! I'd never hurt anyone in my life – definitely not a woman!

Dexter

... Why can't I do that?

Roger

Do what?

Dexter

Lie like that! I thought I was good, but you? It's ... mwah.

Roger

I don't lie!

Dexter

Okay, that one was weak.

Roger

Kay, look. Pick any car on the lot. It's yours. T-bird, town car, you name it. Y-yours. Free. I'll call it in right now.

Dexter

Lots closed.

Roger

I'll have them open it up. I'm the manager. They do what I say.

Dexter

The manager's name is Rick Buxton!

Roger

Well, yeah, but I've been there longer than he has.

Dexter

You've been there three months!

Roger

At the other lot.

Dexter

Ha, ha! It's like watching someone ski moguls. You just hop from one lie to the next. No shame, no embarassment. You just don't give a shit. That's the key, right? Not to care about anyone or anything.

Roger

I care. I care a lot.

Dexter

No, it was a compliment. I don't care either.

Roger

Yes, you do. Like about your wife.

Dexter

Not married.

Roger

Girlfriend, then. Saw it the minute you walked on the lot.

Dexter

What did you see? Tell me.

Roger

Look, most guys your age, they'd beeline right for the horse power, or something. Flashy, sexy. But you. You're there all alone, no one there to nag you, and you don't even glance at the coups. The only thing you look at is the mini-van. Like you can see her in the passenger's seat, and the kids in the back.

Dexter

Leave the kids out.

Roger

See? You're lying to yourself if you think you don't care.

Dexter

She's just a companion, really. Started that way, anyway. Someone who ... looks good. Normal.

Roger

They worm their way in.

Dexter

Yeah, they do. And they shut you out.

Roger

... That's what this is about? That she shut you out? Oh! Man, okay, I get it. I've been there. But you can't let her get to you like this, 'cause – 'cause they're all the same! Fucking bitches! You do everything for them, and then they fuck you! She's not worth it, all right? You're better off without that cunt!

Dexter

[enraged] Don't ...

[Dexter slams his knife into Roger's chest]

Dexter

... talk that way about my girlfriend!
