Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : 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.

  Sergeant James Doakes : And what's that?

  Dexter Morgan : I own you.

• Debra Morgan : [Debra walks into Dexter's bedroom. There are dozens of lit candles around the room]  Who's the skank?

  Dexter Morgan : Deb, did knocking occur to you?

  Debra Morgan : Who is she? And, are you trying to fuck her or set her on fire?

• Det. Angel Batista : Kill one man and you're a murder. Kill thousands and you're a conqueror. Kill them all and you're a God. Does this sound like our guy has a narcissistic personality disorder? That's a God complex.

  Dexter Morgan : I think you're on to something Angel.

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking to himself]  To tell you the truth, I don't know *what* my alter-ego had in mind when he wrote that crap. I just pulled from various blogs on the internet, mixed and matched. Presto manifesto.

• Dexter Morgan : [in bed]  You really know what you want, don't you?

  Lila : I hope you don't mind. Some men do.

  Dexter Morgan : No. I've always found instruction manuals... quite useful.

  Lila : Okay, your turn. What do you want?

  Dexter Morgan : I think that was it.

  Lila : Hmm, come on. You must have some dark fantasies, unfulfilled urges.

  Dexter Morgan : I'm pretty good at acting on those.

  Lila : Really? Then fuck me like that.

• Dexter Morgan : [Before hitting James Doakes]  I own you.

• Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  So much for threatening Doakes. He won't back off 'til he exposes the twisted branches of my family tree. From my father's indiscretions, to my murderous brother, to the root of all evil - me.
