- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Wolves come in many forms. Some have big eyes: the better to see you with. Others huff and puff. While others hide in the plain sight. I should know, because like it or not, I am one too! That's never going to change. And neither is the fact that my little lamb is becoming a little boy. Walking. Talking. Listening. As much as I want Harrison to stay this way forever, from now on, the only wolves in his life have to be the stuff of fairy tales. I can no longer allow him to see the real me. Only the version that's make believe. It's the only way this story gets to have a happy ending.
- [first lines]
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Until a few days ago I was convinced there was nothing I believed in. But I was wrong. There *is* something I truly believe. Everything's better after a bubble bath.
- [sudsing Harrison in the tub]
- Dexter Morgan: Rituals are important. Not just for a serial killer, but also for a 2-year-old - if you want him to go to bed on time. Not that I mind. This ritual has become my favorite bedtime. Alone with my son, being myself.
- Vince Masuka: [about viral video] She a superstar. I mean, have you guys read the comments about her?
- Debra Morgan: Oh, she has. And if you're the one who wrote the poem about my ass...
- Vince Masuka: I know not of what you speak. And it was a limerick, thank you.
- Dexter Morgan: You must be thinking "why me" right about now. I can't explain it myself. God, the universe, irony... Brother Sam wasn't who I thought he was. But you, this I know all too well. Always the same ending.
- [slits Julio's throat]
- Dexter Morgan: Because monsters don't' get to live happily ever after.
- Brother Sam: That was a miracle. "Miami Metro?"
- Dexter Morgan: Forensics department. Lab geek.
- [waving his ID]
- Dexter Morgan: But they didn't need to know that.
- Brother Sam: You don't fight like no lab geek.
- Brother Sam: [in interview room] Men can change.
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Men, maybe. But what about a monster?
- Brother Sam: Lord have mercy, no car's ever totaled. Yeah, it's like a man's life, like a man's soul. I oughta know that. You know I once killed a man walked-off scot-free? For that I need to pay.
- Dexter Morgan: I'm surprised to hear you say that.
- Brother Sam: Don't be. The Spirit moves me to tell my story and share. I was facing death row, judge presiding over my case suddenly dropped dead.
- Dexter Morgan: Mistrial? Sounds like divine intervention.
- Brother Sam: Yeah. Well, God was playing me all right. I had to go out here and get good and high before He just said, son that's enough. An, uh, I got stopped. Possession charge, and go back to jail. But, hallelujah, praise God, that's how I got saved.
- Dexter Morgan: So that darkness inside is gone?
- Brother Sam: No. It's still there, but I'm fightin' his ass every day. I really don't have much of a choice. I sacrificed that bad part of my soul to make up for some of the pain I caused.
