- Dexter Morgan: I can kill a man, dismember his body, and be home in time for Letterman. But knowing what to say when my girlfriend's feeling insecure... I'm totally lost.
- Dexter Morgan: I see their pain. On some level I even understand their pain. I just can't feel their pain.
- Dexter Morgan: 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 Morgan: The worst thing about finally putting together a puzzle is finding there are missing pieces.
- Dexter Morgan: 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.
- Debra Morgan: Why is it we never talk brother-sister stuff?
- Dexter Morgan: Our dad was a cop, you're a cop, I work for the cops... for us, this is brother-sister stuff.
- Debra Morgan: Watching ice melt, this is fun.
- Vince Masuka: Stand a little closer, Morgan, and I'll melt your heart.
- Angel Batista: I think he's got a crush on you, Dex!
- Dexter Morgan: Huh?
- Vince Masuka: Yo, I was talking to Morgan the sister. Vince Masuka only swings one way.
- Debra Morgan: Yeah, from vine to vine...
- Lt. Maria Laguerta: Enough! Glad to see the sexual harassment seminar really paid off.
- Dexter Morgan: My sister puts up a front so the world won't see how vulnerable she is. Me, I put up a front so the world won't see how vulnerable I'm not. I don't care who these fingertips belong to, only what my new friend out there is trying to say.
- Debra Morgan: So, Miami is the haystack and the ice truck's the needle, right? Brother, I just found the fucking needle!
- Dexter Morgan: So what's up, hot shot?
- Debra Morgan: Alright, get this. Lieutenant's looking for that refrigerated truck in every swamp, glade and chop shop from here to the Keys. The way I see it, that whack-job truck driver threw a severed head at your car. It's not as if he's shy.
- Dexter Morgan: You think he's hiding the truck in plain sight, wanting it to be found?
- Dexter Morgan: Lately the thing that surprises me most about Rita is how much I like being with her. But whenever that happens with a woman, when I feel comfortable with her, it all goes wrong. That's why I think it's best to take it one step at a time.
- Dexter Morgan: 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 glass slide collection.
- Dexter Morgan: If god is in the details, and if I believed in god, then he's in this room with me. I just wish he'd brought an extension cord.
- Dexter Morgan: Preparation is vital. No detail can be overlooked and the ritual is intoxicating: duct tape, rubber sheets, necessary tools for play.
