Quotes 

• Dr. Evelyn Vogel : If it is one of my patients who's doing this, I, I have to wonder if I could have prevented it.

  Dexter Morgan : You never felt guilty about what I was doing?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : No. All I ever felt was pride.

• Dexter Morgan : You're saying *you* came up with the code?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Harry had a big hand in the details. His law enforcement background was certainly an asset, but he was operating under my guidance. I can't help but think of myself as your spiritual mother. I know we've only just met face to face, but this is kind of like a reunion. I should have chilled some champagne.

  Dexter Morgan : You experimented on me. That's what mothers do?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : I developed a framework for your survival. *That's* what mothers do.

• Dr. Evelyn Vogel : I believe that psychopaths are not a mistake of nature. They're a gift.

  Dexter Morgan : A gift?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : They're Alpha wolves, who helped the human race survive long enough to become civilized. An indispensable demographic.

  Dexter Morgan : You believe that?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Did you know that psychopathic traits can be found in the most successful CEOs? In the most effective politicians? Without psychopaths, mankind wouldn't exist today.

  Dexter Morgan : Well, there's a lot of mankind that doesn't exist because of them.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Every silver lining...

  Dexter Morgan : Well, one of your indispensable demographics is still out there killing.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : What you're feeling now, it's not because of the killer.

  Dexter Morgan : I've destroyed Deb. She's gone. You were wrong about me. I'm a mistake.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : You're exactly what you need to be, Dexter.

  [giving him a motherly hug] 

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : You're perfect.

• Dr. Evelyn Vogel : I want you to find him, Dexter. And I want you to do what Harry and I taught you to do.

  Dexter Morgan : I don't take requests.

• Dexter Morgan : What if I weren't here to cover your ass?

  Debra Morgan : You really want to play the "what if" game? What if you weren't a serial killer?
