Angela Bishop: Can you think of anyone you crossed recently?
Dexter Morgan: ... No one comes to mind.

Dexter Morgan: What about Los Angeles? It's kind of like Miami, but without all that humidity.

Dexter Morgan: Don't worry about me. I am the phoenix. I rise from the ashes.

Debra Morgan: Remember when you thought not killing was the problem?

Harrison Morgan: Don't get caught. That's only a part of it.

Джеффри Линдсей — Дорогой друг Декстер

<< Дремлющий демон Декстера (Декстер — 1)

Декстер — 2

  “В тропическом небе низко висела полная луна, посылая сквозь пухлые комки облаков свой зов. ...

&  Гораздо лучше быть удачливым, нежели просто умным.

&  Ключом к счастливой жизни является гордость за то, что удалось свершить, и нетерпеливое ожидание того, что предстоит сделать.

&  — Существуют правила, Декстер. Должны существовать. И они отделят тебя от всех других тебе подобных.
     — Сливайся с окружением. Не оставляй следов, не рискуй и…
     — Есть вещи более важные, — покачал головой Гарри. — Ты должен быть абсолютно уверен, что данная личность этого заслуживает. … ты должен быть уверен, абсолютно уверен, Декстер. Добывай доказательства. Их, слава Богу, тебе не придется предъявлять в суде. Тебе нигде не надо будет выступать. Но ты обязан получить доказательства, Декстер. И это — самое важное. Доказательства нужны прежде всего тебе. И даже раздобыв их… Но, даже имея доказательства, тебе придется иногда их отпускать. Вне зависимости от того, насколько они заслуживают наказания. В тех случаях, например, когда они… слишком на виду. Если твои действия могут привлечь чрезмерное внимание, открывай для этих типов дверь.

&  Вообще-то я не пью. Хищникам регулярная выпивка не рекомендуется. Она замедляет рефлексы, притупляет восприятие и приподнимает защитный покров осторожности, ...

&  Я сделал здоровенный глоток. Оказывается, пиво не так уж и плохо, если к нему привыкнуть.

Декстер — 1

  “Луна. Сияющая луна. Полная, толстая, красная луна; ночь светла, как день, лунный свет льется на землю, неся радость, радость, радость. ...

&  — Кто вы такой?
     — Начало. И конец. Познакомься со своей смертью.

&  Чистоплотность требует времени, но стоит его. ... Стоит просто для того, чтобы делать все правильно и аккуратно.

&  Дети. За это его стоило убить дважды.
     Что бы ни сделало меня тем, кто я есть, оно опустошило меня, лишило чувств. Не считаю это таким уж крутым делом. Уверен, что подавляющее большинство ежедневных человеческих контактов притворные. Я притворен просто всегда. Я классно притворяюсь, полное отсутствие чувств.
     Но я люблю детишек. У меня их никогда не будет — ... Но дети, дети — это особое.

&  Такое бывает: некомпетентности чаще воздается, чем наоборот.

&  Каждый способен добиться расположения, если только не брезговать лукавством, если все время говорить тупые, банальные, вызывающие тошноту слова, те, которые обычно человеку не дает произносить совесть. К счастью, у меня совести нет.

& Saxon: Is that why you’re here? Tell me all this?
    Dexter: No, I’m here to kill you with that pen.

& Debra: Hey. Where’s Dexter?
    Masuka: I don’t know. But I’d like to point out the fact that I am here, doing my duty.
    Debra: What?
    Masuka: Nothing!

& Dexter: You’re the one who’s burning people alive. You can’t blame it on something that happened to you when you were a kid. You’re not a kid anymore. It’s time for you to take responsibility. ..... Fuck!

& Dexter: I realize this isn’t the best way to make a good impression on your girlfriend’s father...

& Dexter: And you should know, you were right.
    Hannah: About what?
    Dexter: The dark... rider. He doesn’t exist.

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.
