• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  Vogel was right. I am perfect. But only at one thing.

  Dexter Morgan : [to Galuzzo strapped to his table]  You're disgusting. A cannibal. A consumer of human flesh. There was a time when I couldn't imagine anyone being what you are, and doing what you do. But now I realize I'm just like you. I consume everyone I love.

• [Dr. Vogel notices Dexter loading up his vehicle to leave the crime scene and walks over] 

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : What is it?

  Dexter Morgan : It's Deb. She was brought in for a DUI. I need to check on her.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Is alcohol an issue for her?

  Dexter Morgan : I'm an issue for her. She's acting this way because of me.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : But you can't keep taking on your sister's problems, especially right now.

  Dexter Morgan : [impatient]  It's my fault, okay? Deb found out... what I am. She knows everything.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Everything?

  [Dexter nods] 

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : How?

  Dexter Morgan : It's a long story. Just suffice to say, she's not handling it well.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : [studying Dexter]  You do really feel badly, don't you?

  Dexter Morgan : Are you analyzing me now?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Well, it's just so unusual.

  Dexter Morgan : It's really not a good time.

  [Dexter gets in his car and drives off] 

• Dexter Morgan : I'm meeting Deb for dinner. I'll check in with you later.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Uh, wait. Just- There's one thing I was wondering about since we last spoke?

  Dexter Morgan : Yes?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : When Harry and I came up with the Code, he insisted that you only kill bad people, and *I* insisted that the first rule of the Code be, "Don't get caught," giving you a little wiggle room.

  Dexter Morgan : Okay.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : So my question is this: when your sister found out about who you were and what you were doing... why didn't you kill her?

  Dexter Morgan : [shocked]  What?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Not that I would ever advocate such a thing, but since Debra knew the truth about you, she's clearly a risk...

  Dexter Morgan : I would never kill Debra. She's my sister. I love her.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : What, exactly, do you love about her?

  Dexter Morgan : [pauses]  Wha- what do you mean?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : When a psychopath speaks about love, it doesn't really mean the same thing as for... typical people. So, what do you love about her?

  Dexter Morgan : [at word loss]  I-I don't know. I love having steaks and beer with her, and until recently, the fact that she... is always there for me, the way she looked up to me.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : But none of that is really about Debra. It's about what she does for *you*.

  Dexter Morgan : So you're saying I'm selfish?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : I'm not criticising. Selfless love is hard enough for typical people. And for psychopaths, it's... impossible.

  Dexter Morgan : So why are you telling me this? So I'll feel bad about myself?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Quite the contrary. I want you to *revel* in what you are. I told you, you're perfect.

  Dexter Morgan : How can you still say that when you know what I've done to Deb?

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : That's my point. You're perfect as a psychopath. All this talk about helping Debra and... loving her- it's like you're Michelangelo trying to play the banjo.

  Dexter Morgan : I'm trying to be good brother.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Why don't you let *me* help Debra?

  Dexter Morgan : Because she wouldn't even listen to you. I'm the only one that understands her.

  Dr. Evelyn Vogel : Dexter, you've admitted to being the cause for her pain. How can you expect to be the solution?

  Dexter Morgan : I can handle Deb. I've been doing it my entire life.

• [first lines] 

  Harrison Morgan : Daddy?

  Dexter Morgan : Harrison?

  Harrison Morgan : Daddy?

  Dexter Morgan : Harrison!

  [sees trail of blood] 

  Harrison Morgan : Daddy?

  Dexter Morgan : Harrison?

  [sees Harrison's legs] 

  Harrison Morgan : My tummy hurts.

  Dexter Morgan : [not blood]  Harrison, did you eat a whole box of Popsicles?

  Harrison Morgan : [no] 

  Dexter Morgan : Harrison?

  Harrison Morgan : [yes] 

  Dexter Morgan : Why?

  Harrison Morgan : Because I love them.

  Dexter Morgan : All right. Come on. Drink this.

  [Pepto-Bismol] 

  Dexter Morgan : It'll make you feel better. I promise. Good boy.

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  A tiny shot of pink is all it takes to fix my son's pain. I just wish it were that easy to help Deb.

• Dexter Morgan : Just looking for an all-over workout, maximize my time.

  Ron Galuzzo : [holding up electronic body mass calipers]  Mind if I take a body measurement?

  Dexter Morgan : Uh, sure.

  [Ron rolls up Dexter's sleeve and puts the calipers against his upper arm. They don't go wide enough to measure properly] 

  Ron Galuzzo : Looks like you're already in pretty good shape.

  [calipers beep, Ron looks at the reading] 

  Ron Galuzzo : [impressed]  Ooh, you have a very low muscle to fat ratio.

  Dexter Morgan : Well, thanks. I do what I can, you know.

  Ron Galuzzo : [indicating the Chiseler 300]  Yeah, this equipment is... more for beginners. People who don't already have an established routine?

  Dexter Morgan : Mm.

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking]  Does he know who I am? Trying to get rid of me?

  Dexter Morgan : [aloud]  I'm just looking to change up my workout. I'd love any suggestions.

  Ron Galuzzo : [smiling, wags a finger, then points it to another machine]  That baby. Cuts you up faster than a chef at Benihana. Come on, give it a try.

  Dexter Morgan : Okay.

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking]  He doesn't seem to recognize me.

• Lt. Angel Batista : M.E.'s report is back from the cabin. They've officially ruled Lyle Sussman's death as a suicide. So with that, the Brain Surgeon case is officially closed.

  Deputy Chief Tom Matthews : Okay. I'll call Evelyn, thank her for her help.

  Vince Masuka : [leaning close and whispering to Det. Miller]  "Evelyn"? Someone's got a high hard one for the good doctor.

  Det. Angie Miller : What did I say about standing too close?

  Deputy Chief Tom Matthews : Any progress on that El Sapo shooting?

  Lt. Angel Batista : Still no leads. I've been going back and forth with Ft. Lauderdale P.D. Apparently, El Sapo was a suspect in the stabbing of a smash-and-grab lowlife by the name of Andrew Briggs.

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking]  The cops will never find out that Deb killed El Sapo. So right now, I can focus on protecting Vogel... and myself.

  [on his iPhone 4S, Dexter launches the FriendZone app and searches for...] 

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking]  Ron Galuzzo. He could be hunting me right now.

  [Dexter follows a link from Galuzzo's profile field for Occupation to the Work Out City website] 

  Dexter Morgan : [thinking]  Or he could be selling fitness equipment at the mall.

  Lt. Angel Batista : Good work today, everyone.
