Dexter · Season 2, Episode 10

Dexter and Doakes in “There's Something About Harry”

Dexter

Regardless of how we got here, one of the two killers in this cabin has to go away.

Doakes

I am not a killer.

Dexter

Right. In terms of who goes, it boiled down to a philosophical question: which one of us has more inherent worth?

Doakes

I know you're fucking kidding me.

Dexter

First I considered our value to the community. That was a wash. We're both loyal civil servants, we work hard to keep the city clean.

Doakes

... You cut people up into little pieces ...

Dexter

Then I looked at our personal lives, and ... well, it's where the differences became clearer. Strange as it may seem, I have people who depend on me. They would be devastated if they found out what I do. You, Sergeant, you're more of a lone wolf. Easier to put down, no one in the pack to miss you.

Doakes

Fuck you. Fuck you, Morgan, I have a family. I have my mother, my sisters.

Dexter

Who you never visit. Puts a pit in my stomach, that I can only interpret as ... sadness. If you had a personal life, you might not have made me your obsession, and we might not be here right now.
