Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : Why couldn't you just leave me to do my work in peace? Why'd you have to go and ruin everything?

  Sgt. James Doakes : You're a killer. I catch killers.

  Dexter Morgan : So do I. I caught you...

  Sgt. James Doakes : I'm not a killer.

  Dexter Morgan : You are. That's why you've always known what I am. That's why you have more officer-related shootings than anybody else. Only I don't *fuck* with you when you shoot somebody. Why couldn't you pay me the same processional courtesy?

  Sgt. James Doakes : There's nothing professional about what you do. I kill when I have to, on the job.

  Dexter Morgan : Oh, so, it's okay to take a life as long as you get a paycheck for it?

  Sgt. James Doakes : The city pays me to keep the law.

  Dexter Morgan : I've got news for you Sergeant, my code requires a higher standard of proof than your city's laws. At zero cost to the taxpayer, if you ask me, I'm a bargain.

• Sgt. James Doakes : At first I thought the Butcher only went after criminals because nobody gives a goddamn what happens to 'em. But now... Now, I think you have a conscience.

  Dexter Morgan : Of course I have a conscience. I left you a place to shit, didn't I?

  Sgt. James Doakes : [chuckling] 

  Dexter Morgan : It's a small conscience.

• Det. Angel Batista : [concerning his daughter]  What does a 7-year-old girl like?

  Dexter Morgan : Astor likes CNN.

• Sgt. James Doakes : Morgan! You don't have to do this! You don't have to kill this man!

  Dexter Morgan : This man is a felon, with a body-count. He brought it on himself.

  Sgt. James Doakes : Morgan, turn him over to the law.

  Dexter Morgan : I live by my father's law!

  [fires-up power tool] 

• [last lines] 

  Sgt. James Doakes : What Morgan? What now?

  Dexter Morgan : I killed my father...

• Dexter Morgan : I'm sure Special Ops taught you to rattle your captor. But I warn you, Sergeant, you can't play on my feelings. I don't have any.

• [Debra storms in on Vince and Dexter] 

  Vince Masuka : Oh, she's gonna hit you, isn't she?

  Dexter Morgan : "She's" gonna hit someone if you don't get the fuck out of here.

  Vince Masuka : [whispers to Dexter as he leaves]  Hair-pulling may not be manly, but it's very effective.
