Dexter, season 8

Dexter: [Voiceover: There's nothing like a crisis to help define who you are.] Batista: Hey, what do we have? Dexter: Robert Bailey, killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest, right above the heart. Masuka: Judging from the stippling on the wound, it looks like the muzzle of the gun was in contact with the victim's chest when fired. Batista: Suicide? Dexter: No, the victim was killed elsewhere and dumped here. [Dexter lifts the victim's head. A part of the head falls. He raises the part to reveal a piece of the brain] Parietal and occipital bone sliced through. Back of the cranium removed. Batista: Okay, that's weird. Dexter: And looks like a piece of it has been scooped out, like with a melon baller. Quinn: Just got weirder. Det. Miller: We have a gun. Batista: So someone shoots this guy, cuts his head open, and messes with his brain. He takes the body and the weapon and brings them all the way out here. Why? Dexter: People are crazy. Debra: Do you wanna know why I'm not returning

Dexter: I came here to save you. Debra: No. Dexter: Deb, look at yourself. You're lost! Debra: I am not lost! I know exactly where I am. I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I deserve! But you! You are lost! All my life, I thought I needed you. That I couldn't survive without you. Fuck! Fuck! It was the other fucking way around! It was the other way around.

[voiceover] Debra was right. I was wrong. It's me who's lost. A better person would let her go. But I don't know how. Without her, I don't know who I am anymore.

Dr. Vogel: You can't kill me. Dexter: Why? Dr. Vogel: Because I don't fit Harry's code.

Dr. Vogel: I know almost everything about you, Dexter - and not just because I heard it from your father, but because I helped create you. Dexter: Create me? You sound like Dr. Frankenstein. Dexter: [Voiceover: Miami makes more corpses than sunburns - and I'm thankful.] Dexter: What if I weren't here to cover your ass? Debra: You really wanna play the "what if" game? What if you weren't a serial killer? What if Harry had left you in that shipping container? Dexter: [Voiceover: Dr. Vogel says that psychopaths are not a mistake of nature.They're a gift. But what kind of gift destroys everything it cares about?] Dr. Vogel: You were only doing what you thought was right. We had no idea that- Dexter: You should have no idea. You've never done this before. Me, it's what I do. The one thing I've always been good at. Vetting, stalking, and killing people. I can't even do that anymore. Dr. Vogel: What you're feeling now, it's not because of the killer. Dexter: I've destroyed Deb. She's gone. Yo

Dexter: I can't believe she actually confessed. I thought I got her to see that she's a good person. Dr. Vogel: This could have been the only way she could relieve herself of the guilt. Dexter: Need you to help get her out of this. Give your expert opinion that she's having a breakdown. Dr. Vogel: Are you sure? This could be the best thing for her. Dexter: Spending the rest of her life in prison? That's the last thing Deb needs. Dr. Vogel: Or the last thing you need. If Debra goes away, odds are, you'll join her. Admit it, Dexter. You're mostly worried about yourself. Dexter: That's not true. I told you, I love her. Dr. Vogel: Not the same way she loves you. When Debra killed LaGuerta, it was real, selfless love. She sacrificed everything she believed in for you. Can you see that? Dexter: [To victim] You're disgusting. Cannibal - a consumer of human flesh. There was a time I couldn't imagine anyone being what you are...and doing what you do. But now I realize I'm just like you. I consu
