The Damage a Man Can Do

Dexter 3×8

& Dexter: It’s said that everything is connected to everything. The butterfly effect. You drop a pebble into a pond and the ripples radiate outwards, touching and affecting everything. Until finally a fish grows arms and legs and crawls out of the water. And picks up a rock and smashes the next two fish over the head. And we have the first serial killer.

& Miguel: You’re clearly not a sports fan, are you?
    Dexter: Not really. I’m more of a National Geographic kinda guy. Sharks, bears, the occasional penguin.

& Dexter: The waffle is a lot like the pancake, only square.

& Quinn: Your brother’s kind of a dweeb, huh?
    Debra: You say anything more about my brother and I will kick your fucking nuts down your throat!
    Quinn: That doesn’t even make any sense.

& Dexter: We also need to make sure that he’s likely to kill again.
    Miguel: Why is that?
    Dexter: It’s just one of the rules.
    Miguel: One of these days I’m gonna make you sit down and write out all these rules for me.

& Dexter: I’m gonna put together a starter kit for you.

& Dexter: You ever drop a quart of milk?.. Watch it spread over the whole kitchen floor, the mess it makes?
    Miguel: Yeah.
    Dexter: There’s six quarts of blood in the human body. This isn’t gonna be pretty.

& Ellen Wolf: After a pair of empty marriages, I realized... the secret to long life and happiness is... well, chocolate, and flirting with young, hopefully hung, men.
    LaGuerta: Sounds fattening and dangerous.
    Ellen Wolf: Oh, but so fun.

& Dexter: A Dutch farmer sees his crop fail. No money to his name, he takes a job working on a boat. An unseasonably strong wind blows him to Indonesia. He drops a bean into the soil. And voilà, 400 years later... Java. Everything is connected.

& Dexter: She said she didn’t want one.
    Debra: My God, you just get dumber every day. How do you survive in this world? Of course she wants one.
    Dexter: How am I supposed to know that?
    Debra: You’re such a Y-chromosome cliché. Just buy her a beautiful, romantic, “I love you with all of my heart” fucking engagement ring. And Dex... size matters.

& Miguel: How many, Dex?

& Miguel: Poetic.

& Dexter: How do you feel?
    Miguel: Fantastic.
