- Debra Morgan: This steak tastes like asshole.
- Dexter Morgan: Yeah. Let's order pizza.
- Debra Morgan: With pineapple, please.
- Dexter Morgan: Not on my half.
- Debra Morgan: Sorry, cow...
- Dexter Morgan: [in kill room] You never had a Harry.
- Zach Hamilton: A what?
- Dexter Morgan: Someone to talk to. Someone to teach you.
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Some things happen to us by accident. Others are choices. There are parts of me that I can never share with my own son. But with Zach, could I teach him? Am I ready for this, to be a spiritual father?
- [starts cutting open the plastic sheeting]
- Dexter Morgan: [taking a bite of steak] Not exactly worth living for.
- Debra Morgan: What?
- Dexter Morgan: You said that once, when you tasted one of my steaks, that it was worth living for. For some reason, I've always remembered that.
- Debra Morgan: It'll get easier, Dex. We're just getting back in the saddle, you know?
- Dexter Morgan: Yeah, I think we might be *eating* a saddle.
- Dexter Morgan: He's a killer. He deserves to die.
- Dr. Evelyn Vogel: Isn't that a little intolerant, coming from you?
- Dexter Morgan: Doggy got dirty, and I tried to clean him up, and when I couldn't, I threw him away. I'm sorry I lied to you, Harrison.
- Harrison Morgan: That's okay. But can I keep him? I really love him.
- [hugging the stuffed dog]
- Dexter Morgan: [thinking] He's soaked in blood that links me to a murder.
- Harrison Morgan: [aloud] Yeah, but maybe he should live under the bed.
- Cassie Jollenston: [struggling with first date] What about your weekends or your free time?
- Dexter Morgan: Oh, I have a boat.
- Cassie Jollenston: Oh, I love to sail.
- Dexter Morgan: No, it's a motorboat.
- Cassie Jollenston: Oh. You water... ski?
- Dexter Morgan: No.
- Cassie Jollenston: Race?
- Dexter Morgan: No.
- Cassie Jollenston: [laughs] Do you scuba dive?
- Dexter Morgan: No.
- Cassie Jollenston: [laughs] What do you do on your boat?
- Dexter Morgan: I just take it out and turn around and come back.
- Cassie Jollenston: That's it?
- Dexter Morgan: [thinking] That's all I can tell you.
- Cassie Jollenston: I think we may need some alcohol...
- [first lines]
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Accidents happen, shattering our sense of control, if not our lives. It's no accident that Zach Hamilton is here. He's drawn to blood, like me.
- [watching Zach photograph accident scene]
- Dexter Morgan: Did he kill Norma Rivera? After a week of vetting him, I haven't been able to find definitive proof. But I'm sure, if I keep following him, the truth will become clear. Or it could get murkier.
- [Vogel greets Zach at her front door]
- [last lines]
- Debra Morgan: Maybe the Morgans just aren't meant for relationships.
- Dexter Morgan: Yeah, maybe not. But hey, life is good. You know, I'm feeling optimistic for the first time in a while. I'm even thinking about taking on a kind of... intern.
- Debra Morgan: Hmm. Well, that's a big step for you, right? Letting some novice into your private lab.
- Dexter Morgan: Yeah. Hey, are you okay?
- Debra Morgan: I don't feel so good.
- Dexter Morgan: What's wrong?
- Debra Morgan: I feel kind of dizzy.
- [collapses on couch]
- Dexter Morgan: Deb?
- Hannah McKay: [appearing at the door] Hello, Dexter. Remember me?
