Episode Quotes

Dexter Morgan: Oh God!

Travis Marshall: You gonna burn in hell.
Dexter Morgan: No. I think I belong right here. Because maybe there's a place for me in this world. Just as I am. Light cannot exist without darkness. Each has it purpose. And if there's a purpose to my darkness maybe is bring some balance to the world.

Dexter Morgan: [to Harrison] Whether you're a lion or a lamb, I'll always love you.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): Dexter never would have received Louis (the intern's) mysterious package. Dexter's driver's license lists him at 8240 Palm Terrace, while Louis addressed the package to 8420 Palm Terrace.
Goof (revealing mistake): Near the end of the episode, Dexter gets hold of an old sword, used earlier for slashing a man to death on screen. A close-up on the blade clearly shows it's completely flat and blunt, and is likely made out of sheet metal. Also, moments later Dexter is shown pressing a knife against a man's forehead, and the blade bends significantly, revealing it's made out of rubber/plastic.

Trivia

According to his driver's license, Dexter was born on 02/01/1971.
When Travis 'Doomsday Killer' Marshall is looking at Dexter's driver's license, the last three digits are shown as "66-6".
The boat that rescues Dexter from the ocean when it looks like his end is near is named the 'Milagro' which means Miracle in Spanish.
