Those Kinds of Things

Dexter 6×1

& Admissions Director: So you are catholic as well, Mr. Morgan?
    Dexter: Actually, I’m not. And though it does have a certain appeal, I’m not sure it’s right for everyone.
    Admissions Director: So... protestant?
    Dexter: No.
    Admissions Director: Jewish?
    Dexter: No.
    Admissions Director: Muslim?
    Dexter: Nope.
    Admissions Director: Any religious affiliation?
    Dexter: No.
    Admissions Director: What do you believe in, Mr. Morgan?
    Dexter: Nothing. I don’t... believe in anything.
    Admissions Director: Oh.

& Debra: I’m not the most religious person in the world— I mean, mom practically had to drag me to church— but seriously?
    Dexter: What?
    Debra: A set of rules to follow so you don’t get in trouble? Sounds like something I might teach a puppy.
    Dexter: Is that so bad?
    Debra: Just sounds kinda cold and empty.
    Dexter: Does it?
    Debra: Yeah. I don’t know, you can believe whatever you wanna believe. Or not believe whatever you wanna believe. But it’s not just about you anymore. You’re a father. What about Harrison?

& Dexter: Look, I know this is a little basic, but how do we even know there is a God? You know, so I can explain it to Harrison.
    Batista: Oh, well... Well, there is a God... Because in... In every one of us, there is a powerful sense of moral goodness.
    Dexter: Okay.
    Batista: But honestly, when you really get down to it... it’s all about faith.
    Dexter: Mm.
    Batista: It’s something you feel, not something you can explain. This is very hard to put into words.
    Dexter: ’Because it makes no sense.’ Thanks, Angel, you really made it all much more clear.
    Batista: Sure. Always happy to help.

& Dexter: There’s something inside...
    Debra: Holy Frankenfuck! Snakes!

& Dexter: Trisha, I don’t have time for this.
    Trisha: Yes, you do.
    Dexter: This is— Really... ’Stop talking, Dexter.’

& Dexter: ’Oh, God, what did I get myself into? This is never good.’
    Trisha: That was so good. Thanks, sweetie.

& Joe: What the fuck?!.. It’s you.
    Dexter: I’m a mighty Panther. I’m the gold and red.
    Joe: Jesus, you still are some weird loser. What the fuck’s up with you?
    Dexter: Tonight is meant for victory, it’s time to make you dead.
    Joe: Oh. I don’t think that last line is right.
    Dexter: Oh, I’m pretty sure it is.

& Dexter: Life is good. I’m not at all unhappy. I’m quite content to go about my life believing in nothing. With no fear that there might be something more out there... But I also have a son. And I have to think about what he wants and what’s best for him, because who knows? Maybe he’ll grow up to be someone who wants to think about... those kinds of things.
