Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : I'm Dexter and I'm not sure what I am.

  Narcotics Anonymous Group : Hi, Dexter.

  Dexter Morgan : I just know there's something dark in me, and I hide it. I certainly don't talk about it, but it's there - always. This Dark Passenger. And when he's driving, I feel... alive, half sick with the thrill of complete wrongness. I don't fight him, I don't want to. He's all I've got. Nothing else could love me, not even... especially not me. Or is that just a lie the Dark Passenger tells me? Because lately, there are these moments when I feel connected to something else... someone. It's like the mask is slipping and things... people... who never mattered before, are suddenly starting to matter. It scares the hell out of me.

• Narcotics Anonymous Group : [a woman is speaking at the podium]  I got to the point where I would kill for a Vicodin.

  Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  Lightweight.

• Dexter Morgan : I go to stalk a killer, and I end up with a new car. How'd that happen?

• Caroline : [at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting]  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 Morgan : [narrating]  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?

• Lila Tournay : But there's no way that I could know what you've experienced right? I couldn't possibly feel that need. Like a thousand hiding voices whispering 'this is you who are'. And you fight the pressure. The growing need rising like a wave. Prickling and teasing and prodding to be fed. But the whispering gets louder until it's screaming 'now'. And it's the only voice you hear. The only voice you want to hear. And you belong to it. To this shadow self. To this...

  Dexter Morgan : Dark passenger.

• Vince Masuka : Who's your daddy?

  Dexter Morgan : Uh... Harry Morgan.

• Vince Masuka : Most of them have been underwater for years. But some, it's awesome, you can't even tell. The temperature on the ocean floor, and the airtight bags kept them intact. I mean, a little gelatinous residue, sure. But...

  Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  I'd rather remember my old playmates as they were. Neat, clean little packages.

• Dexter Morgan : It's like watching someone ski moguls. You just hop from one lie to the next. No shame, no embarrassment. You just - don't - give a shit.

• Narcotics Anonymous Group : [a woman is speaking at the podium]  I would have killed for a vicodin.

  Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  Lightweight.

• Dexter Morgan : [waiting for Roger as he walks out to his car after closing the dealership]  Roger, the Artful Dodger.

  Roger Hicks : [turns, startled, laughs]  You scared me, bro!

  Dexter Morgan : We have some unfinished business.

  Roger Hicks : Right, the warranty and stuff. Listen, I can't write you up right now, the wife's waiting for me.

  Dexter Morgan : Not married.

  Roger Hicks : Ex, I gotta take the kids.

  Dexter Morgan : You don't have any.

  Roger Hicks : Stepkids. They're hers.

  Dexter Morgan : Nope.

  Roger Hicks : Okay, what about this one? I don't give a shit.

  Dexter Morgan : [Roger turns around to get into his car, but Dexter moves in, seizes him and injects him with a sedative]  Neither do I.

• Dexter Morgan : When the man-hunt is on, the hunted go shopping. Not for a new car - for my next project. I won't act on it. Yet...

• Dexter Morgan : I will not kill my sister. I will not kill my sister. I will not kill my sister.

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover, about the used car salesman]  It's a toupee. Even this guy's hair is a lie.

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover, about the used car salesman]  A toupee. Even this guy's hair is a lie.
