Dexter, season 3

Dexter: [voiceover] Most normal people enjoy a sacred pact with society - live a good life and society will take care of you. But if society drops the ball, then someone else has to pick up the slack. That's where I come in. Freebo: Stupid cunt's gonna redefine "short-term relationship". Catch my drift? Dexter: Yeah, I catch your drift. [voiceover] And I'm entirely confident you've earned the privilege of being repurposed as fish food. Dexter: [voiceover] There were so many lessons in the vaunted code of Harry. Twisted commandments handed down from the only God I ever worshiped. One through ten... Don't get caught - that I got covered. But killing someone without knowing if he's guilty... I'd love some help on this one... but my God is dead now. Dexter: [voiceover] Harry finds me in a pool of blood, turns me into his own personal vendetta machine, and when he sees the monster he created in action, he kills himself. Dexter: [voiceover] I have moved on from my father, but I still need hi

Vince Masuka: I brought all this shit off my manicurist. Need all the luck I can get. Got a crucifix up there too. Dexter: Because it did so much for Jesus? Dexter: [voiceover] Harry - the last person I'd turn to for advice on parenthood. Dexter: [voice over] I promised Rita I'd be back in an hour. So she's nesting while I'm hunting, stalking my prey. Dexter: [voice over] If my first stab at Freebo had gone as planned, Oscar Prado might still be alive, Miguel wouldn't know who I was, Teegan would have lived to ho another day, and Deb wouldn't be chasing a Jane Doe. And I wouldn't be watching the clock, counting the minutes till darkness comes, trying to get the jump on my friends in blue.

Dexter: [voiceover] The grocery store - the modern-day equivalent of the Serengeti, where the mighty lion goes to hunt. And my weaker brethren reward me with gifts. Rita: You do your grocery list alphabetically? Dexter: How else would you do it? Dexter: Rita's pregnant. Debra: Say again. Dexter: Rita's pregnant. Debra: You're lying! Dexter: I'm not lying. Debra: A baby!? A motherfucking roly-poly, chubby cheeked shit-machine?! Are you kidding me? Dexter: Well, I've never heard it described in quite those words before, but yeah. Dexter: What else did the doctor say? Rita: He asked me a million questions about my medical history. There's a form for you to fill out too, but I told him you were adopted. I mean... Are there any details that you do know? Dexter: [voiceover] Like "Mom was killed by a chainsaw, my brother was killed by... well, me." That kind of stuff? [to Rita] No, I don't really know anything. Debra: Have you started thinking about names yet? Not that I wanna push it on you

Dexter: [voiceover] Role playing. It's such an important part of growing up. When we were kids, whatever role Deb assigned me - evil monster, treacherous Nazi, horrible alien - I played them to perfection. [...] The only roles I had trouble with were the good guys - heroes, knights in shining armor. It just never felt right. Rita: Dexter and I have something we want to talk to you about. Astor: What? Dexter: We're having a baby. Rita: Um... You're gonna have a new little brother or little sister to play with. Cody: Which one? Rita: Which one would you like? Cody: A puppy. Dexter: You can have a puppy and a baby. Dexter: [voiceover] Masuka - he's chosen the role of court jester. Now we only like him when he's making us laugh. Still, there's something to be said for being a character actor. The lead players with all those emotions must be exhausting. Rita: Dexter, what is it? Dexter: My life has always felt like an unanswered question. A string of days and nights, waiting for something t

Dexter: [voiceover] There are many ways to stop the heart. Electric shock, bad diet... Sever the aorta - my personal favorite. Rita: That massage was amazing. Sylvia: We spend enough money to be members here. At least now I have somebody to go to the spa with. Miguel: All of that stuff, that's not for men, right, Dex? Dexter: Lying naked on a table, helpless, no thanks. Ramon: I was also hoping I could speak with a couple of your previous witnesses. Debra: Speak with? As in we didn't do it right the first time? Ramon: Cases evolve. Witnesses change their stories, junior personnel they make mistakes. No disrespect. Quinn: Oh, whoa! Actually that's a lot of disrespect. You've come into our house twice, you not only insult our police work, now you're insulting one of the most dedicated officers I've ever partnered with... yes, you. It's bullshit, my man! Ramon: Let's not lose sight of the fact that we want the same thing here. To find whoever is responsible for these murders. Masuka: Ah,

Dexter: [voiceover] Clemson Galt has been on my top ten list for years, and Miguel could be a big help. But the goal here isn't to satisfy my need, it's to get Miguel to find some other hobby. Camilla: You know, Dexter, my whole life I've been searching for... Dexter: The meaning of life? Camilla: The perfect... Key lime pie. And what do I get when I'm about to croak? Fucking pie-crust, Reddi-wip, and green Jell-O... Dexter: I'll see what I can do about finding you the perfect Key lime pie.
