Debra: What's it gonna be tonight? Chinese? Italian?
Lundy: Actually, I have a social appointment.
Debra: You mean, like, a date?
Lundy: I guess you could call it that.
Debra: Wow. Look at you. New in town, and already hooking up.
Lundy: It's an introduction arranged by a friend. One needs to get out and have a little fun on occasion. It's something I strongly recommend for you as well.
Debra: Yeah, but the hours we work ...
Lundy: I'm serious. Make time for it. It'll help keep you better balanced.
Debra: Yes, sir.

Debra: Who's the skank?
Dexter: Deb, did knocking occur to you?
Debra: Who is she? And are you trying to fuck her or set her on fire?
Dexter: Hey I didn't do this to you when you were riding square-jaw guy with the handcuffs

Debra: You're such a guy. When I get pissed I say stuff I don't mean all the time: I hate you. I faked it. You're hung like a grape.

Dexter: "Who is the Bay Harbor Butcher?" God, this obsession with him is relentless. Just like Debra and that damn treadmill.

Dexter: [after a disturbing dream] Nice. My subconscious isn't even bothering with symbolism.

Dexter: [on Lila] Can't live with her, can't kill her.

Dexter: [on Lila] She had me fighting with myself the whole time. All that self-reflection is unhealthy.

Dexter: [thoughts] You have made me your sworn enemy, evil woman.

Dexter: [thoughts] With Doakes following me, my life has been all Jekyll and no Hyde. No moonlit playdates. No late night social calls. Not one. My brother would be so disappointed.
Angel: Don't forget! Tell the universe what you really need!
Dexter: [thoughts] I really need ... to kill somebody.

Dexter: [to Rita] I'm sorry. I feel ... such regret, which is rare for me. Not that I don't mess up, I do, just never so stupendously. I had you, and them; I had us. So much to have, and to just demolish it. I honestly thought I was smarter than that. Rude awakening.

Dexter: [to the man who killed his mother] You stole my life. I'm not the person I'm supposed to be because you took someone from me.

Dexter: [voiceover] "The Dark Defender." No, Miami's too hot for all that leather.

Dexter: [voiceover] A secret cabin in the middle of the Everglades? What more could a re-dedicated serial killer ask for?

Dexter: [voiceover] Doakes said I had two choices: kill him or let him go. But he neglected to look behind Door Number 3. Hand him over to the FBI, gift-wrapped. I don't need Doakes dead, I just need his fingerprints to complete my framejob.

Dexter: [voiceover] Harry's heart gave out when he saw what's inside me. He thought he could tame it, give it a purpose, help it find a place in the natural order. Guess he was wrong.
