Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : Most actors toil in obscurity, never stepping into the spotlight. But if you hone your craft, work diligently, you might just find yourself cast in the role of a lifetime.

• Dexter Morgan : [to Rita]  My life has always felt like an unanswered question. A string of days and nights, waiting for something to happen - I didn't know what. Rita, we're connected. Where ever I am, I feel you. And the kids. With me. They're what make me real. I want us to always go out for banana splits. And replant the lemon tree that keeps dying. And I never ever want to miss a pizza night. And that's how I know I want to marry you. Because something as simple as pizza night is the highlight of my week. But not without the kids.

  Dexter Morgan : [taking a knee]  Cody, Astor, you guys are my family. I'm gonna hang on to you for dear life.

  Dexter Morgan : [to Rita]  Please, say yes.

  Cody Bennett : [nods head yes] 

  Astor Bennett : [nods head yes] 

  Rita Bennett : [laughs through her crying]  Yes! Yes, we will marry you.

• [first lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking while watching kids play]  Role playing. 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.

• Rita Bennett : I married Paul because it was pregnant. And I won't marry again unless it's because someone loves me.

  Dexter Morgan : I understand why you feel that way.

  Rita Bennett : Being a father and being a husband are two very different things. You don't have to be both. I don't what both... unless it's real.

  [walks away] 

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking to himself]  Real. How do you show someone real love when you don't even know what it feels like?
