Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  You don't always have to destroy a wounded animal. Sometimes you just remove the thorn.

• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  Dexter Morgan, family man. All of my previous attempts at human connection have ended in, well, death. Now I have a partner for life. How did that happen? Am I drawn to the safety of belonging? Being part of something bigger than me? Either way, I'm a married man, soon to be a father. But what do I have to offer a child? Just... me. "Demented daddy Deter." Maybe I'm making the biggest mistake of my life. Nothing's perfect, certainly not me. Certainly not Harry.

  [Harry and Dexter's mother doting nearby] 

  Dexter Morgan : Sure I'm still who I was. Who I am? The question is, what will I become? There's so many blanks left to fill-in. But right now, at this moment, I'm content.

  [his injured hand drips blood onto Rita's wedding dress] 

  Dexter Morgan : Maybe even... happy. And I have to admit, when all is said and done, life is good.

• Harry Morgan : [about his tossed apartment]  Miguel warned you that his death wasn't the end of it.

  Dexter Morgan : So his plan was to make me hire a housekeeper?

• [first lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  There are few milestones in life that evoke a stronger response than our final act. Death.

  [panning-back, a witness discovers the body] 

• George King : [starring at Dexter, whistling] 

  Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  I know that look. I've had that look. He likes control. Needs it. So I'll take it away from him.

  Dexter Morgan : [calmly]  I killed Freebo. Sorry 'bout that.

  Dexter Morgan : I tied him up, not unlike this. Stabbed him in the left carotid artery. Used his 16-Inch carbon steel bone saw to separate his limbs.

  George King : [approaches Dexter immediately]  I don't believe you!

  Dexter Morgan : Divided them equally Amongst six biodegradable trash bags, which are long gone now Carried north on the gulf stream.

  George King : You're lying.

  Dexter Morgan : Usually, not now- no point.

  George King : Why would you have done such a thing?

  Dexter Morgan : Oh I have my excuses and justifications, but really I just... need to. Like you. You have your excuses, finding Freebo, getting your money. But you know he's dead. You know there's no money, so really you're just... a killer. A monster. The stuff of nightmares.

  George King : I could kill you now.

  Dexter Morgan : If you can convince yourself I'm lying, that you need to skin me to get information out of me.

  George King : You are lying. You do know where he is.

  Dexter Morgan : Miguel Prado tell you that?

  George King : [realizing he's been played] 

  Dexter Morgan : He wanted me dead. So he used you. He played on your obsession.

  Dexter Morgan : It probably wasn't too hard.

  [laughing] 

  Dexter Morgan : I mean you're a little single-Minded.

  George King : Let's hope you're this talk active once i get my tools.
