Dexter Morgan
- [first lines]
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] I always thought hardening arteries squeezed the life out of my father. But it was me. Harry gazed into the eye of his creation and saw evil, pure and simple. My evil. It killed him.
- Sgt. James Doakes: That shit about your father... you wanna talk about it?
- Dexter Morgan: About what? That my life is one tragic mistake?
- Sgt. James Doakes: We've all thought that at one time or another. I know I have.
- Dexter Morgan: Did you happen to be stuffing a human leg into a garbage bag at that point?
- Dexter Morgan: [thinking to himself] Maybe this is how evil works. Destroying everything it touches.
- Dexter Morgan: I've really enjoyed our conversations, James. I lie to everyone I know - except my victims, right before I kill them. It's hard to establish much of a rapport there. Sorry about the cage.
- Dexter Morgan: [Dexter thinks about the possibilities of what'll happen if he confesses to Debra] Deb, I'm the Bay Harbor Butcher.
- [Debra chokes, Dexter performs the heimlich maneuver on her]
- Dexter Morgan: Deb, I'm the Bay Harbor Butcher.
- Debra Morgan: [Debra takes out her gun] On the ground! Down on the ground, motherfucker!
- Dexter Morgan: It's me, I'm the Bay Harbor Butcher.
- Debra Morgan: [starts crying] Noooooo! Nooo. Noooo. Nooo...
- Dexter Morgan: I'm him. The Butcher.
- [Debra immediately shoots him in the head]
