Det. Joseph 'Joey' Quinn : [sniffles] You don't know Deb. She'll, uh - she'll pull through this. You hear about miracles all the time.

Debra Morgan : You'll be great.
Dexter Morgan : How do you know?
Debra Morgan : 'Cause you've always taken care of me.
Dexter Morgan : I have?
Debra Morgan : Ever since we were little. Don't you remember the monsters?
Dexter Morgan : Uh, no.
Debra Morgan : Every time mom would turn off the lights, they'd be running all over the walls. And I couldn't fuckin' go to sleep 'cause I thought they were gonna eat me or something.
Dexter Morgan : I don't remember.
Debra Morgan : They were the shadows. You came in and explained it in your dorky little voice. You were like, "Oh, it's just the absence of light, Deb."
[both chuckle]
Debra Morgan : I don't even know why I remember that, but I do. And even then, you stayed in my room and slept on the floor by my bed. You made me feel so fuckin' safe. You were always taking care of me. I know you're gonna be a great father, because you've always been a great big brother.
Dexter Morgan : You really believe that?
Debra Morgan : With all my heart.
Dexter Morgan : [thinking in present time] You were so wrong, Deb.

Dexter Morgan : [narrating] I always thought that if I ever left Miami, I'd be running for my life. Not running towards a new one.
