(voice over) It's one thing to fuck with me, another to fuck with... my ex-girlfriend who hates me. The Lila experiment is officially over.

Dexter: You, you are more dangerous than my addiction will ever be. That's saying a lot. Stay away from Rita. Stay away from me.
Lila: Or what?
Dexter: Or you will see the monster.

(to a dead Jimenez) Can't leave you here. Can't take you with me. Don't go anywhere.

Doakes: Unlike you, I do everything out in the open.
Dexter: Well in that case, Sergeant, let me put this in the open for you. No matter what you try, no matter when, no matter how hard you work, I'll always be a step ahead of you for one simple reason.
Doakes: And what's that?
Dexter: I own you.

(voice over, at Cody's presentation) I'm a little confused. Lila is the one showing me how to take control, stop killing, get my life clean. (waves at Cody) But this is the first time since I went into recovery that I actually feel clean.

Deb: Didn't hear you come in last night.
Dexter: Well, it was late. I was quiet.
Deb: Yeah, you're good at quiet. Guess you kind of have to be with me crashing here and Rita's mom over there. You and Rita fuck quiet, too?
Dexter: And she's off, right out of the gate.

They are still playing my tune. It's like I'm conducting a final symphony - requiem for demonic Dexter.

(pulls fire alarm) (voice over) Apparently the new Dexter is stuck in high school. Maybe I am a late bloomer.

The full force of the FBI, that's the last thing I need. I got to make sure Lundy gets his man, after I figure out a way to erase the marina files and make up with my girlfriend. And then maybe I tackle world hunger, because things can not get much worse.

(voice over) Most people hate long lines. The bank, grocery store, coffee bar. Not me. Want a real glimpse of human nature? Stand in the way of someone's mocha latte. It also reminds me that the good people of Miami and I aren't so different. They have no more idea of what I am than I do.

Deb: Sweet Mary mother of fuck that's good.
Dexter: I think you might have broken a commandment somewhere in there.

Lila: So what about what you're going to say to this guy when you get there?
Dexter: I'm sure I'll think of something.
Lila: Why don't you practice on me.
Dexter: I'd rather not.
Lila: Just try. Out loud.
Dexter: I feel like... he stole my life.
Lila: And...
Dexter: I'm not the person I'm supposed to be. It's like I'm hollow.
Lila: That's good. Go on.
Dexter: I hide in plain sight, unable to reach out to people close to me, afraid I'll hurt them... like I've hurt so many others. This is what he made me become.

Dexter Quotes

The only real question I have is why in a building full of cops, all supposedly with a keen insight to the human soul, is Doakes the only one who gets the creep from me.

Dexter Morgan

I think this is a friendly message like, "Hey! wanna play?" and yes I wanna play. I really really do.
