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.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: Rita's divorce papers list the duration of marriage as 6 months, but those papers were filed on Jan. 28, 1990, which was only 5 months later (the marriage took place on 08/16/1989).
CONT: Dexter looked up a marriage certificate for Rita from when she lived in Ashley, MI. The Birth Certificate lists a birthday of 04-19-1989, and a date of marriage of 8-16-1989. The DOB as listed makes her 19 at the time of episode airing, but the episode clarifies that Rita was married at 16, which would place her DOB more like 04/19/1973, 35 at the time the episode aired.
FAKE: Dexter's license plate after the crash is blacked out.
CONT: In the scene where Dexter fights the Skinner, there is a moment where you can see Dexter's hand already cut, before it really happens.
FAKE: Rita's marriage certificate from her first marriage gives her Date of Birth as 04/19/1989, her first husband's Date of Birth as 07/25/1984, and the Date of Marriage as 08/16/1989. There's no way that Rita is currently 19 years old, and no state would marry a four-month-old and a five-year-old. Besides that, in voice over Dexter says that Rita was 16 years old when her first marriage took place, which means that her Date of Birth should have been 04/19/1973, and her husband's probably 07/25/1973 or something close to that.
