Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : I don't get birthdays; the party, the song. Celebrating another year just being alive feels... forced.

• Dexter Morgan : Nothing lasts forever. Just ask a Ford Pinto.

• Dexter Morgan : Eventually, most serial killers get caught. There's really not much of a retirement plan.

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  I shouldn't even be here. Rita will be devastated if I'm arrested. Her husband was a crackhead and her boyfriend's a serial killer. It's hard not to take that personally.

• Dexter Morgan : I don't have bad dreams. When I sleep, all of me sleeps. Nothing ever goes bump in Dexter's night.

• Dexter Morgan : [reading Deb's profile of Valerie Castillo's killer]  The similar manner in which the victim's body was displayed suggests this killer feels a connection to the Ice Truck Killer, excited by what he's doing. The cut on the victim's cheek, while not fatal, appears to be a signature of sorts. Because of the lack of evidence collected from the crime scene, the suspect may be familiar with law enforcement or forensics procedure. Huh.

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  I was wrong about birthdays. Maybe the reason to celebrate them is what they offer: the hope of living to see another one.

• Dexter Morgan : What am I even looking for?

  Vince Masuka : Wait for it.

  Dexter Morgan : This is a prelim. I don't have time to...

  Vince Masuka : M-fucking-99.

  Dexter Morgan : Etorphine hydrochloride?

  Vince Masuka : An animal tranquillizer more powerful than morphine. Causes total paralysis. That mark on her neck kept bugging me, so I ordered up a tox screen.

  Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  That's it. No more doughnuts for Masuka.

• Dexter Morgan : [voice-over]  My neat little world of lies is crumbling all around me. And I can't tell a soul. Especially not Deb.

• [first lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over]  Life is so fleeting. So fragile. Every breath of potential may not last.
