Helter Skelter

Dexter 7×9

& Dexter: There are no two stronger human emotions than fear and love. In many ways, they’re not so different. Both can make you do crazy things— Or do something that scares you to death because you may be in love.

& Debra: Dex—
    Dexter: I understand, it makes sense. It’s logical. Like... the way I love M&Ms, even though I know I shouldn’t—
    Debra: M&-fucking-Ms?

---

& Dexter: It’s— Logical. Because it is. You’re not crazy.
    Debra: Fuck. That, coming from you—
    Dexter: Should make you feel better.
    Debra: ... It does.

& Sirko: How is it you can be absolutely fearless in the face of death and yet so afraid to live?
    Dexter: I’m not. Afraid.
    Sirko: Then what is it?
    Dexter: Death has always calmed me. It’s soothing. Predictable. Inevitable. With a knife in my hand, I feel it’s mine to control.
    Sirko: It gives you intimacy...
    Dexter: Yes, but— It never lasts. It’s over, then you— you move on.
