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.

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!
