Dexter, season 6

Dexter: [Voiceover: There are times in our lives when everything seems to go wrong - when, despite our best efforts, and for no apparent rhyme or reason, tragedy strikes. And there are times when everything goes just perfectly. That's how the last year has been for me.] Debra: What you said in there, do you really believe that? You really believe in nothing? Dexter: Yeah, I suppose I believe in a certain set of principles. Debra: What kind of principles? Dexter: A set of rules on how to conduct myself in the world, so that I don't get into trouble. Debra: I'm not the most religious person in the world, I mean - Mom practically had to drag me to church, but seriously? Dexter: What? Debra: A set of rules to follow so you don't get into trouble? Sounds like something I might teach a puppy. Dexter: Is that so bad? Debra: Just sounds kind of cold and empty. Dexter: Does it? Debra: Yeah. I don't know - you can believe whatever you wanna believe. Or not believe whatever you wanna believe. But

Dexter: [Voiceover: Rituals are important. Not only for a serial killer, but also for a two-year-old, if you want him to go to bed on time.] Harrison: Monster story, Daddy. Dexter: Again? [Voiceover: OK, I may have told him this one before.] Once upon a time there was a little chino, scaring everyone in the hood. Nobody knew what to do... But Daddy did. He would slay that icky monster, hiding what was left of him in a special place that no one would ever find. Harrison: Daddy's box. Dexter: You know about Daddy's box? Debra: Quinn just fucking proposed to me over fucking pancakes. What the fuck is wrong with him? Dexter: He's Quinn? Debra: I never wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Dexter: So I take it this means it's a "no"? Quinn: Dexter, you got a minute? Dexter: Yeah, I need to get to my lab. Quinn: Has Deb mentioned anything to you, you know, about us? Dexter: She may have said you proposed. Quinn: And? Dexter: The pancakes weren't bad. Dexter: Brother Sam? Masuka: One

Harry: [To Dexter] I remember when I found that under your bed. I would have rather it had been a stack of Playboys. Most kids in eighth grade were obsessed over their favorite baseball players. You tracked serial killers. Dexter: [Voiceover: They say old age is like a second childhood. There are primary colors, tricycles and ball-chasing. I barely made it through my first childhood. I guess no one makes it through the second.] Dexter: Sounds like you're trying to get me to go to church. Brother Sam: So what? What? You afraid you gonna catch something? Dexter: [To himself] He's the Tooth Fairy. The man who terrorized the Pacific for 20 years. All he has left is a box of tooth. Walter: Here's my prescription. Just pick it up for me, will you? Dexter: Sure. Walter: Hey, hey, hey! And a six-pack beer from the liquor store and the latest Teen Ass, Nipple Parade and Spanked. Dexter: Teen Ass, Nipple Parade and Spanked. [Voiceover: Can this really be the man who inspired me to keep a scrapbo

Brother Sam: It's about, surrender to something greater than yourself. Dexter: I don't get it. Brother Sam: Man, just look around. You think you can make the sun come up in the morning? You think you can make the tide come in? Dexter: No, but that's the Earth rotating on its axis, the pull of the moon. Brother Sam: So you do believe in something greater than yourself. Debra: Goddamn pantyhose. Has anyone ever died of crotch asphyxiation? Dexter: You have now crossed the line into inappropriate brother-sister exchanges.

Doctor: Kid's a champ - made it through with flying colors. Dexter: Thank God. I mean, thank you. Thank you so much, Doctor. Brother Sam: I'm glad little man is all right. Dexter: Yeah - me too. Brother Sam: I know. Thank God. Dexter: That's just an expression. Brother Sam: I know - just another marvel of modern science. Dexter: Yeah, you put your faith in God, I put my faith in science. Brother Sam: It's cool. We don't have to believe in the same thing, but you got to keep an open mind. You may say I can't prove that God exists, but you can't prove he doesn't.
