Dexter Morgan Quotes

04x06 - If I Had a Hammer Season 4 / Episode 6: - If I Had a Hammer

Arthur Mitchell: [singing] Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin...
Dexter Morgan: [voice-over of inner monologue] A wolf in sheep's clothing. Hour by hour the spitting image of a normal man.
Arthur Mitchell: [singing, continued]... and be washed in the blood of the Lamb. There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean...
Dexter Morgan: [voice-over of inner monologue, continued] Up at six A.M., breakfast seven A.M., work eight thirty.
Arthur Mitchell: [singing, continued] O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Arthur Mitchell: [singing, continued] Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Dexter Morgan: [voice-over of inner monologue, continued] Father, huband, teacher, deacon, all in the name of blending in. Camouflage is nature's craftiest trick.

Dexter Morgan: No, no, I'm with Miami Metro, forensics, my... laminate and my wallet are in the car.
Officer Hanson: Then get your licence and ID, I need you to step back.

Sgt. Angel Batista: Hanson! Hands off, he's one of us!
04x05 - Dirty Harry Season 4 / Episode 5: - Dirty Harry

Dexter Morgan: [thinking] More like *had*.
Dexter Morgan: [sighs] I'm glad to help but tonight's not really, um... optimal.
Frank Lundy: I get it. New dad, new family. Your life has changed in so many ways.
Dexter Morgan: [chuckling] Yeah, I see that now.
04x02 - Remains to Be Seen Season 4 / Episode 2: - Remains to Be Seen

Dexter Morgan: It is my job.

Dexter Morgan: Apparently so.
04x01 - Living the Dream Season 4 / Episode 1: - Living the Dream

Vince Masuka: Talk about your blood bath! [goofy laugh] Tough room. Okay, femoral artery's severed. She bled out in minutes.
Joey Quinn: Suicide?
Debra Morgan: No weapon on the premises.
Vince Masuka: The coroner can suck my uncircumcised dick if he doesn't rule this a homicide!
Debra Morgan: That's way TMI, Masuka. Employment records show she just got promoted to Sous Chef.
Vince Masuka: A total babe! And she could cook! Had it all goin' on!
Debra Morgan: And then, this.
Dexter Morgan: It's a very well organized crime scene. The assailant took his time, cleaned up after himself. [voice over] Obviously doesn't have kids.
03x12 - Do You Take Dexter Morgan? Season 3 / Episode 12: - Do You Take Dexter Morgan?

George King: [starring at Dexter, whistling]
Dexter Morgan: [voiceover] I know that look. I've had that look. He likes control. Needs it. So I'll take it away from him.
Dexter Morgan: [calmly] I killed Freebo. Sorry 'bout that.
Dexter Morgan: I tied him up, not unlike this. Stabbed him in the left carotid artery. Used his 16-Inch carbon steel bone saw to separate his limbs.
George King: [approaches Dexter immediately] I don't believe you!
Dexter Morgan: Divided them equally Amongst six biodegradable trash bags, which are long gone now Carried north on the gulf stream.
George King: You're lying.
Dexter Morgan: Usually, not now- no point.
George King: Why would you have done such a thing?
Dexter Morgan: Oh I have my excuses and justifications, but really I just... need to. Like you. You have your excuses, finding Freebo, getting your money. But you know he's dead. You know there's no money, so really you're just... a killer. A monster. The stuff of nightmares.
George King: I could kill you now.
Dexter Morgan: If you can convince yourself I'm lying, that you need to skin me to get information out of me.
George King: You are lying. You do know where he is.
Dexter Morgan: Miguel Prado tell you that?
George King: [realizing he's been played]
Dexter Morgan: He wanted me dead. So he used you. He played on your obsession.
Dexter Morgan: It probably wasn't too hard. [laughing] I mean you're a little single-Minded.
George King: Let's hope you're this talk active once i get my tools.
03x11 - I Had a Dream Season 3 / Episode 11: - I Had a Dream

Dexter Morgan: Adios, amigo.
03x10 - Go Your Own Way Season 3 / Episode 10: - Go Your Own Way

Dexter Morgan: [Thinking to himself] Just what I ordered: feigned civility with a heaping side of betrayal. It's becoming more and more clear that I'm going to have to deal with Miguel... Option one: I kill him. But he's too high profile. A popular A.D.A. disappears. The manhunt would be endless. Everyone he knows would be scrutinized. And that includes me. He's also my best man. I'd be expected to grieve... Option two: get him the hell out of my life. But its not that simple. He taught me how to golf. I taught him how to kill. I'm responsible if he takes another innocent life... So much for option two. He won't let our partnership dissolve. He's trying to get me under his thumb. And he's using Rita to do it. It's working... Which leaves option three: get him under MY thumb and keep him there.

Dexter Morgan: I've never heard it described in quite those words before, but yeah.
03x03 - The Lion Sleeps Tonight Season 3 / Episode 3: - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Dexter Morgan: What else did the doctor say?
Rita Bennett: He asked me a million questions about my medical history. There's a form for you to fill up too but I told him you were adopted. I mean... are there any details that you do know?
Dexter Morgan: [voiceover] Like mom was killed by a chainsaw, my brother was killed by... well... me. That kind of stuff?
03x02 - Finding Freebo Season 3 / Episode 2: - Finding Freebo

Vince Masuka: Step away from the incense. This is America, buddy. Freedom of religion.

Dexter Morgan: Because it did so much for Jesus?

Dexter Morgan: If they find Doakes in a cage, it will seriously undermine my frame job.
02x12 - The British Invasion Season 2 / Episode 12: - The British Invasion

Dexter Morgan: [about the kids] The sex police are here.
02x12 - The British Invasion Season 2 / Episode 12: - The British Invasion

Dexter Morgan: It's strange to have a creation out there - a deeply mutated version of yourself, running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel.
02x12 - The British Invasion Season 2 / Episode 12: - The British Invasion

Dexter Morgan: You're going away with me all right - in a garbage bag.
02x11 - Left Turn Ahead Season 2 / Episode 11: - Left Turn Ahead

02x08 - Morning Comes Season 2 / Episode 8: - Morning Comes

Dexter Morgan: Hi, you wanted to...
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Morgan, come in. Can I offer you some tea?
Dexter Morgan: Uh, no, thank you. I'm...
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] And he pours it anyway. He's trying to throw me off balance, show that I don't have the power to say no to him.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: How about some sesame crackers to go with that?
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] So I'll say yes to everything.
Dexter Morgan: I'd love some.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Oh. Sorry. Guess I ate them all.
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] Asshole.
02x08 - Morning Comes Season 2 / Episode 8: - Morning Comes

Special Agent Frank Lundy: So, you worked firsthand on, what, four of the cases related to the Bay Harbor investigation?
Dexter Morgan: I believe so.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Your reports were a real pleasure to read. Concise, meticulous. I appreciate that.
Dexter Morgan: Good. Thank you.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Does your sister prefer meat or fish?
Dexter Morgan: Debra?
Special Agent Frank Lundy: You have more than one?
Dexter Morgan: Sister? Uh, no. Just Deb.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Or is she more of a salad kind of person?
Dexter Morgan: She's definitely a carnivore.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Good. Good.
02x08 - Morning Comes Season 2 / Episode 8: - Morning Comes

Special Agent Frank Lundy: So... the Rodrigo case. Let's talk about that one.
Dexter Morgan: Okay.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Kind of blew it, didn't you?
Dexter Morgan: I'm sorry?
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Anthony Rodrigo: crack dealer with an apparent habit of killing people who got in his way. I believe this was... yes, Doakes' and Batista's case. They finally tied Rodrigo to one of his victims, built a solid manslaughter case, would have got him off the street for a few years. But the case largely rested on the blood work that you did. Blood work that in the course of the trial was proven to be, well... wrong. So, you - one of the most cautious and precise forensic specialists I've had the pleasure to work with - you performed blood work that directly led to Rodrigo walking free. I asked myself, "How the hell did that happen?"
Dexter Morgan: [thinking] And did you answer, "Dexter blew the case on purpose so that he could get Rodrigo off the streets for good with a cordless reciprocating saw"?
Dexter Morgan: I'm sorry. You've caught me off-guard here.
Special Agent Frank Lundy: Sloppy blood work.
