By iggyboo Donovan: I couldn't help myself. I couldn't. Please, you have to understand.
Dexter: Trust me, I definitely understand. See, I can't help myself either. But children, I could never do that. Not like you. Never ever kids.
Donovan: Why?
Dexter: I have standards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (to Deb, dressed as hooker) Geez Deb, where the hell do you keep your gun?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) That's it, he's definitely the one. Now it's just a matter of time before he becomes a drop of blood in my slide collection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) But for me sex never enters into it. I don't understand sex. Not that I have anything against women, and I certainly have an appropriate sensibility about men, but when it comes to the actual act of sex, it's always just seems so ... undignified.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Just like me - empty inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Blood. Sometimes it sets my teeth on edge, other times it helps me control the chaos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Harry and Dorris Morgan did a wonderful job raising me. But they're both dead now. I didn't kill them. Honest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over about the doll parts in his freezer) I suppose I should be upset, even feel violated, but I'm not. No, in fact, I think this is a friendly message, like "Hey, wanna play?" And yes, I want to play. I really really do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Records Supervisor: You have a morbid sense of fun.
Dexter: That's probably true ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) No blood ... no sticky, hot, messy, awful blood. No blood at all! Why hadn't I thought of that? No blood, what a beautiful idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Police Officer: See you at the next bloodbath?
Dexter: I never miss a party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Needless to say, I have some unusual habits, yet all these socially acceptable people can't wait to pick up hammers and smash their food to bits. Normal people are so hostile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Harry was a great cop here in Miami. He taught me how to think like one. He taught me how to cover my tracks. I'm a very neat monster.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all, and I fake them very well. That's my burden, I guess.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) There’s something strange and disarming about looking at a homicide scene in the daylight of Miami. It makes the most grotesque killings look staged, like you're in a new and daring section of Disney World: Dahmerland!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) She's the only person in the world who loves me. I think that's nice. I don't have feelings about anything, but if I could have feelings at all, I'd have them for Deb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) 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 creeps from me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) My father taught me one thing above all others; to be sure. And I am. Matt Chambers, Miami is your last stop. If God is in the details and if I believed in God, he's in this room with me. I just wish he had brought an extension cord.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) My sister puts up a front so people won't know how vulnerable she really is. Me? I put up a front so people won't know how vulnerable I'm not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) I dream. I dream I'm floating on the surface of my own life. Watching it unfold. Observing it. I'm the outsider looking in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) I see their pain. On some level I even understand their pain. I just can't feel their pain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) Harry taught me that death isn't the end. It's the beginning of a chain reaction that will catch you if you're not careful. He taught me that none of us are who we appear to be on the outside. But we must maintain appearances to survive. But there was something Harry didn't teach me. Something he didn't know, couldn't possibly know. The willful taking of life represents the ultimate disconnect from humanity. It leaves you an outsider, forever looking in, searching for company to keep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) I've lived in darkness a long time. Over the years my eyes adjusted until the dark became my world and I could see.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rita: Deb must be a mess. I mean, falling for a serial killer ...
Dexter: What are the odds?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dexter: (Voice over) I'm not the monster he wants me to be. So I'm neither man nor beast. I'm something new entirely. With my own set of rules. I'm Dexter.
