Dexter, season 2

Dexter: Tonight's the night. And it's going to happen again, and again. It has to happen. It's not what I want. But what I want doesn't matter. This is the only way I know how to survive. I'm coiled and ready to strike. [Dexter bowls] Although a spare will do. Dexter: [voiceover] I'm on edge. Thirty-eight days, sixteen hours, and twelve minutes have passed since I killed my brother. In that entire time, I haven't had a single night to myself. Sergeant Doakes makes sure of that. He follows me everywhere now. A human bloodhound incited by the scent of darkness. My best hope of losing him is to act relentlessly normal. Dull. So I bowl. What's really disturbing is that I'm good at it. Dexter: [voiceover] With Doakes tailing me, my life's been all Jekyll and no Hyde. No moonlit play dates. No late night social calls. Not one. My brother would be so disappointed. Angel: Don't forget! Tell the universe what you need! Dexter: [voiceover] I really need... to kill somebody. Dexter: I see you've

Dexter: I forgot that I had promised to sub for another bowling team. Debra: Why do you look so happy about it? Dexter: ...I like bowling, what can I say? Look will you take Rita out for me? She hired a babysitter and everything. Debra: No way, I need to work out. Dexter: Actually, you need to stop working out. It's getting unhealthy. You should go out for some hard liquor instead. Debra: [starts running] Sorry bro. Dexter: Deb, please! When do I ever ask you for anything? Debra: [stops running] You bung hole. Why did you have to put it that way? Dexter: She's expecting you in half an hour. You're a life saver!

Dexter: I'm drifting. I finally get a chance to kill and I can't do it, then a second chance and he gets away. And now all my secrets are floating to the surface. Where is the orderly controlled effective Dexter? How did I lose him? How do I find him again? I'm drifting. But not to sleep. Doakes: Any idea who the FBI's sending? Angel: Some guy named Lundy. Doakes: Frank Lundy? He's a rock star. The Green River Killer; the DC Sniper; the case was impossible, he broke it. Dexter: Still, it can't be easy to hide a body nowadays. Vince: Are you shitting me? Dexter: Hypothetical. You're the Bay Harbor Butcher. How do you make sure that disposed bodies stay disposed? Vince: Tons of options. Everglades. Alligators. Pig farms. Sulfuric acid. Woodchipper. Incinerator. Hell, even meat pies. The mind boggles. Lundy: First report from the field had these parts as coming from one body. Dexter: [voiceover] Actually, it's two. Lundy: Actually, it's two. Dexter: [voiceover] Uh oh. Lundy: There's been

Caroline: I, um, I started taking pain pills after my back surgery. I don't need them for the pain anymore. Now, I... now I just need them. Dexter: [voiceover] And I need duct tape. Three or four rolls. Running low on heavy duty trash bags. When's the last time I sharpened my knives? Dexter: [about dead bodies] Are you hoping they'll talk to you? Lundy: The ones with heads anyway. They always speak, eventually. Just gotta ask the right question. Dexter: Which is? Lundy: Why were they chosen? Dexter: You looking for a pattern? Lundy: One doesn't kill this many people in this careful, methodical way without a reason. Some... twisted set of principles. Dexter: They would have to be twisted, wouldn't they? Lundy: The worst killers in history are usually the ones who think the murders were somehow... just. Even deserved. Leaders have slaughtered whole populations for the same warped reason. Dexter: But there's never any justification for killing. Lundy: No. Well, one, of course. To save an

Dexter: More nightmares? What was it, the big scary ghost or the alligator? Cody: No. The Bay Harbor Butcher. Rita: Oh, honey. Dexter: He would never hurt you. But I'll let you in on a secret. My sister Debra, who is a secret police agent ninja warrior, said he only kills bad people. And you're not a bad person, are you? Cody: No. Dexter: Then you're quite safe. Lila: So, tell me. Why do you use? Dexter: ...Why? I dunno, it's just part of who I am. Lila: And who are you? Dexter: I'm, uh... a bad person. Lila: Ha ha ha. You haven't got the first idea who you are, have you? Dexter, meet Dexter. I'm gonna help the two of you get to know each other. Dexter: Doesn't really seem necessary. Lila: The first step to recovery is accepting who you are. Dexter: I thought the first step was admitting you have a problem. Lila: And before you can accept who you are, you have to know who you are. So that's our first job. You're going to tell me all your deepest, darkest secrets. Masuka: Dex, I got thi
