Dexter: New Blood

Dexter: New Blood 1×10

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.

Angela Bishop: Turn around! On your knees! Hands on your head.

Dexter Morgan: We'll get through this. The world needs us.

Angel Batista: Madre de Dios. Dexter Morgan is alive?

Angela Bishop: It's called...
Dexter Morgan: A weal mark.
Angela Bishop: ... a weal mark.

Angela Bishop: Florida. A state with the motherfucking death penalty.

Dexter Morgan: Turn off the camera.

Dexter Morgan: Go to ... cabin. 100 yards north of the front door, under a deadwood pile, there's a hatch. Open it, and you'll see what real evil looks like.

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

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

Harrison Morgan: You don't really care about saving anybody, do you? You're just feeding this-this Dark Passenger. I-It's not even a passenger. It's fucking driving. And you like it.

Dexter Morgan: I beg you... Let me die so my son can live.

The Family Business

Dexter: New Blood 1×9

Dexter Morgan: It's a scary world out there. Guilty people slip through the cracks of the justice system every day... Murderers. Rapists. Predators. Monsters who walk among us, and we never even know. Counting on the justice system to discover these predators and effectively deal with them is not an option... Not for me.

Dexter Morgan: I don't follow society's rules. But that doesn't mean there aren't rules I have to follow when the Dark Passenger calls....
Harrison Morgan: Wait. What-What's the Dark Passenger?

Dexter Morgan: When your grandfather Harry found out what I was... I thought he'd send me to an institution. But instead... he gave me the Code.

Dexter Morgan: Harry gave me the Code as a way to channel the Dark Passenger. To use it for good.
Harrison Morgan: F-For good?
Dexter Morgan: And a way forward in life.

Debra Morgan: You abso-fucking-lutely cannot tell Harrison about your sick-ass ritual!

Harrison Morgan: So, you're-you're kind of like Batman or something.
Dexter Morgan: I like Dark Defender.

Harrison Morgan: Good night, Dad.
Dexter Morgan: Merry Christmas.
Harrison Morgan: Oh, yeah. You, too.

Dexter Morgan: I still have one more gift to wrap. In plastic.

Dexter Morgan: What can I say? We are what we are.

Harrison Morgan: Do you use this when, you know, you know, you go after bad guys?
Dexter Morgan: No. Never. Guns are... loud, messy. Plus I'm not a very good shot. This is all about blending in.

Dexter Morgan: ... And then Angela starts to ask a lot of questions about what I was doing out on his property. Questions I can't answer.
Harrison Morgan: Vigilante shit.
Dexter Morgan: Yeah. Vigilante shit.

Audrey Bishop: That was weird, right?
Angela Bishop: It's his first Christmas with his son in a long time. It's not that weird.

Harrison Morgan: I'm-I'm sorry I-I treated you like shit when you knew the truth. I was... I was just afraid. Wh-Why didn't you tell me all this back then?
Dexter Morgan: I wanted to. But I needed to try out everything else first.

Dexter Morgan: And what would... justice feel like to you?

Harrison Morgan: Let's go!
Dexter Morgan: Wait. First rule of the Code: don't get caught. We wait until dark. Come back tonight and check it out.

Dexter Morgan: I'm not forcing any ideas on Harrison. I want to help him, just like Harry helped me.
Debra Morgan: There were fucking alternatives, Dexter. Therapy! Institutionalization! Prison might have been better in the long run.
Dexter Morgan: You think prison would be better?! Whose side are you on?

Dexter Morgan: Merry. Fucking. Kill.

Harrison Morgan: Why all this plastic?
Dexter Morgan: You know the concept of leave no trace? Well, it's all the more important here. A single drop of blood, a single hair left behind, a print... anything can lead to getting caught.
Harrison Morgan: And the Code says, don't get caught.

Harrison Morgan: How many?
Dexter Morgan: Go big or go home.

Dexter Morgan: Shh... Stop struggling. Shh. It's the end of the road...

Dexter Morgan: People run away from their lives all the time.

Dexter Morgan: And the Dark Passenger?
Harrison Morgan: Is quiet.
Dexter Morgan: That's how it works. That's how we keep it under control.
Harrison Morgan: And the world's a better place for it.
Dexter Morgan: That's the idea.

Unfair Game

Dexter: New Blood 1×8

Kurt Caldwell: Well, I'm sure [your dad]'s just, uh, tied up with something.

Logan: You good?
Angela Bishop: I will be.
Logan: Well, you know, if you ever, uh, want to grab a drink or anything... I'm sure that Jim would love to hear from you.

Dexter Morgan: I really hate it when I'm the one who's bleeding.

Dexter Morgan: You said you had all day. Well, I've got news for you. The night is mine.

Kurt Caldwell: Look, all I'm trying to say is that you are who you are. Find what gives you joy, and you do that thing. No apologies. Whatever it is that brings you pleasure in this world.
Harrison Morgan: How do you... H-How do you do that?
Kurt Caldwell: You just... take the leap.

Kurt Caldwell: Eh, you know. Sometimes a kid just ends up suffering for the... choices of his father.

Kurt Caldwell: Wish it could've worked out differently. But I don't have a choice, son. Sins of the father. It's a fucked-up world out there.

Dexter Morgan: I was born in blood, just like you.

Dexter Morgan: My dad taught me a code. A way to channel those urges. I'm gonna tell you everything...

Skin of Her Teeth

Dexter: New Blood 1×7

Angela Bishop: ...that's where you come in. Dexter Morgan. Forensics expert from Miami Metro? He owes me.

Dexter Morgan: Plus, you know I can keep a secret.

Debra Morgan: Good call. Leave it to the police to handle. What could possibly go wrong?

Dexter Morgan: I'm used to being the predator, but now I'm the protector. Funny what fatherhood'll do to you.

Dexter Morgan: I hate the view from the cheap seats.

Dexter Morgan: You think you can get rid of everything? Something always gets left behind.
Kurt Caldwell: You're right. Something always gets left behind.

Kurt Caldwell: We can never erase all of our sins. Not even fire will do that.

Molly Park: Okay, now I'm thoroughly confused. First Kurt is creepy and now Jim. If he wasn't your boyfriend, I would totally do a deep dive. But it's not like he's hiding anything from you. I mean, you're the chief of police.

Too Many Tuna Sandwiches

Dexter: New Blood 1×6

Angela Bishop: License and registration.
Dexter Morgan: Yes, mistress. Officer. Sorry. Uh...
Angela Bishop: Not that one... The one for Dexter Morgan.

Esther: Whatever you did, hon, just say sorry.
Logan: Welcome to the club, man. I got a Spotify breakup playlist for later.

Dexter Morgan: Are you breaking up with me?
Angela Bishop: All I know is relationships are built on trust. How can I ever trust you, Jim? Or Dexter. Whoever the fuck you are.

Dexter Morgan: It was a difficult time. For everyone. I wish things had been different.
Dr. Morris: Well, thanks for your honesty. But for this to work, you're going to have to dig a little deeper.
Debra Morgan: The problem is the only people you're ever honest with, you end up killing.

Ramon: Hey, Jim. Usual?
Dexter Morgan: You know what? I just found out that too much tuna is bad for ya. I'll take a pastrami on rye.
Ramon: You want fries with that?
Dexter Morgan: Yeah. Let's live dangerously.

Dexter Morgan: My instincts aren't what they used to be. Too many fucking tuna sandwiches.

Dexter Morgan: It's never good to kill the family member of a serial killer.

Dexter Morgan: Encouraging teenagers to commit acts of violence on one another... Normal people are so strange.

Dexter Morgan: It's Jim. You okay?
Angela Bishop: I don't need Jim. I need Dexter Morgan.

Runaway

Dexter: New Blood 1×5

Debra Morgan: What Harry did to you was child abuse. Teaching you to become a serial killer, and how to get away with it? Look where the fuck that got us.

Dexter Morgan: Every day I walk around this world faking it. Knowing if someone, if anyone knew the truth about me, they'd throw me in the deepest, darkest pit they could find. It's so fucking lonely.

Chloe: Can you actually be this nice?

Chloe: There a shower in there?
Kurt Caldwell: Yeah. And a Jacuzzi tub.
Chloe: Oh, yeah, I am definitely paying it forward. Thank you so much.
Kurt Caldwell: My pleasure. Really.
Chloe: Yeah, I could fucking die and go to heaven.

Molly Park: Damn it.
Angela Bishop: What?
Molly Park: No dead guy, no podcast. I mean yay, he's alive.

Dexter Morgan: What's with him?
Tess Silvera: He gets like this every couple months. Walks in here like he owns the place. That same song. Always that same fucking song.
     ♪ As I walk along I wonder ♪
     ♪ What went wrong with our love ♪
     ♪ A love that was so strong ...... ♪

Audrey Bishop: How does it feel to have that kind of power? Life or death.

Dexter Morgan: Sometimes you have to say yes to drugs.

— Ladies and gentlemen, Miami Metro Homicide Captain Angel Batista.

Angel Batista: It reminds me of another case back in the day, the Trinity Killer. No one understood how those deaths were related.
Angela Bishop: So how'd you guys crack it?
Angel Batista: A young detective, Debra Morgan, she always had a gut feeling about it. Never gave up.
Angela Bishop: So, maybe she could help us?
Angel Batista: She died. Real fucked-up situation. Her brother, too. Tragic, really. He had a little son. What was his name? Ah. I... Oh, yeah. Harrison. Cute kid.

Jasper Hodge: Who the fuck are you?
Dexter Morgan: I don't know. Your worst nightmare? Or maybe you're mine.

Dexter Morgan: I am a great fucking dad.

Dexter Morgan: There are always sacrifices one has to make as a parent. Especially the parent of a teenager... You don't always get to do the things you want the way you want. But we can make these small sacrifices for the good of our children... After all, if we can't do that, we don't deserve to be parents.

Molly Park: Who the fuck was that?
Angela Bishop: Why would Kurt lie?

Kurt Caldwell: You know, I've been around a little bit longer than you, and I've seen a few things. So I'm gonna give you a little advice, whether you like it or not. Now, in those moments, when all you see is red, just go and do something kind for the person that's pissing you off. Even if you don't want to, especially if you don't want to.

Kurt Caldwell: Run as far and as long as you want, you can never outrun that rage.

Dexter Morgan: We think we have it all figured out. We think we can control things. Fix them. That we can keep life moving forward on the path we've chosen... But all that's standing between us and chaos is a tiny, fragile thread-- Cut that thread, and we're all just falling into space.

H Is for Hero

Dexter: New Blood 1×4

Harrison Morgan: Eh. Most of the guys on the team are fuck-nuggets... What?
Dexter Morgan: Your Aunt Deb used to say that. Fuck-nuggets... I wasn't sure what you remembered. Like, if anything.
Harrison Morgan: I don't, much. Except for the swears. But, yeah, she was fun.
Dexter Morgan: Yes. She was.

Harrison Morgan: You want some of this?
Dexter Morgan: I'd rather put out a campfire with my face. That was always one of my favorites.

Harrison Morgan: You miss her?
Dexter Morgan: Oh, she's in my thoughts all the time.

Molly Park: Wow, that's some, like, real Carrie from Homeland shit. Does it have anything to do with the case?

Angela Bishop: I know you're a reporter.
Molly Park: I'm not a reporter. I'm a podcaster. Print is dead.

Molly Park: I said I was here to help with the search, and I was.
Angela Bishop: And you're doing a story about it.
Molly Park: A rich, white, entitled cisgender guy illegally shoots a rare white buck on reservation land, and then up and disappears? Of course I am.

Harrison Morgan: You ever have a situation scare the shit out of you like that?
Dexter Morgan: Yeah.
Harrison Morgan: What do you do to deal?
Dexter Morgan: I wrap bad guys in plastic and kill them.
Dexter Morgan: I, um, guess I... I'm not sure.
Harrison Morgan: Right. No, for sure.

Harrison Morgan: Why are you interrogating me?
Dexter Morgan: Sorry. It's just my old forensic brain. I know you've been through a lot.
Harrison Morgan: Just stabbed by my friend, is all.

Dexter Morgan: Going to the police station to see if your son is lying about a stabbing he was in. What page of the parenting handbook is that?

Dexter Morgan: Blood doesn't lie.
Dexter Morgan: The spatter doesn't match.

Dexter Morgan: He wanted to know what it felt like.
Dexter Morgan: It's almost like he fit the Code.

Harrison Morgan: I want to get back into a routine.
Dexter Morgan: I totally get that.
Dexter Morgan: I totally get that.

Kurt Caldwell: It's not really Matt's fault, you know? It's my fault.
Dexter Morgan: I wouldn't say that.
Kurt Caldwell: Well... the truth is, I just raised a terrible kid.

Dexter Morgan: Look, Kurt, you can't carry around this guilt. Kids are born the way they are. I wasn't in Harrison's life for the last ten years. Look how he turned out.
Kurt Caldwell: Yeah, you're right. I appreciate that. But you'll see. You know, if Harrison ever does anything wrong, it is hard not to feel responsible for it.

Harrison Morgan: I guess we all have two sides to us. Maybe we're a little bit hero and a little bit, I-I don't know, monster. It's all about which side wins out in the end.

Smoke Signals

Dexter: New Blood 1×3

Dexter Morgan: Ah, wilderness. Snow. Ice. Privacy. Well, maybe not so much privacy...

Angela Bishop: If I learned anything, it's that people don't just disappear. There's always a reason.
Dexter Morgan: Well, you're a good cop. You'll find him.

Damien Church: Blood is the body's...
Dexter Morgan: Truth.
Damien Church: ... truth.

Dexter Morgan: Have a good... day.

Debra Morgan: This town is small as fuck, but there's got to be someplace to hide a body. What about your lake? Just like old times...

Debra Morgan: Oh! I know! ....
Dexter Morgan: Little Fargo, don't you think?

Dexter Morgan: I miss this. The quiet. Calm. Solitude... Fuck!

Dexter Morgan: Bears, dogs. I miss the days when the only animals I had to worry about were alligators.

Harrison Morgan: Thanks, Dad.
Dexter Morgan: "Dad." Wow. My new favorite word.

Storm of Fuck

Dexter: New Blood 1×2

Dexter Morgan: He's owed an explanation. But the only one is that his father is a monster.

Harrison Morgan: So why all this Jim bullshit? What happened to Dexter Morgan?
Dexter Morgan: He killed dozens of people, got your mother and your aunt killed, too.
Dexter Morgan: It's not who I am anymore. Dexter had to die.

Debra Morgan: You selfish psycho! You emotionally handicapped, crazy fuck! If by some goddamn miracle you don't end up killing him, you will sure as shit fuck him up!

Dexter Morgan: Well, this is one storm of fuck.

Harrison Morgan: Harrison. I'm Jim's son.
Angela Bishop: Son?
Dexter Morgan: Add that to the list of things I need to clean up.
Angela Bishop: Welcome to Iron Lake, Harrison.

Dexter Morgan: Thanks for covering for me.
Harrison Morgan: Didn't do it for you. Just didn't want a cop all up in my business.
Dexter Morgan: Huh. Like father, like son.

Dexter Morgan: A drone. Perfect.

Dexter Morgan: Usually blood sets my teeth on edge. Now it's giving me whiplash.

Harrison Morgan: So-so, why here? You... do you, like, hate nice weather?

Dexter Morgan: Shit. Why does my girlfriend have to be such a good cop?

Dexter Morgan: What was your goat's name?
Harrison Morgan: Vincent. Vincent van Goat.

Dexter Morgan: "We need to talk." Words you never want to hear from your doctor or your girlfriend.

Dexter Morgan: I don't know that I can always be the father Harrison needs me to be.
Angela Bishop: I feel that way about being a mom every day.
Dexter Morgan: You do?
Angela Bishop: Yeah. But it doesn't matter because Audrey needs me. Just like Harrison needs you. So the good news is, all you really have to do is just... show up.
Dexter Morgan: Show up? You make it sound so easy.
Angela Bishop: Also gonna have to enroll him in school... And get him some real winter clothes. And he's probably gonna need a car. College apps are coming up, so add tutors and exam prep.
Dexter Morgan: Harrison's been here less than a day, and now I'm talking about college prep.
Angela Bishop: Just wait till he starts dating....
Dexter Morgan: Parenting's just learning as you go, right?

Harrison Morgan: I-I don't remember a lot, but all of my memories of you are good. The... the worst thing you ever did was...
Dexter Morgan: Uh-oh.
Harrison Morgan: ...leave me.

Cold Snap

Dexter: New Blood 1×1

(Dexter 9×1)

Debra Morgan: Are you ready for tonight?.. Great.
Dexter Morgan: If you say so.

Angela Bishop: James Lindsay, huh?
Dexter Morgan: Jim. Is there a problem, Officer?

Dexter Morgan: On this one, I think I'm basically Switzerland.

Dexter Morgan: You know, this is way more firepower than anything you need hunting around here.
Matt Caldwell: Oh, yeah? What do you hunt?
Dexter Morgan: Me? I don't anymore. I haven't killed any animals since... I was a teenager.
Matt Caldwell: Look at you, Saint... uh, Jim.

Angela Bishop: Uh, it's my smart doorbell. ... Oh, aren't you glad they didn't have these things when we were younger?
Dexter Morgan: You better believe it.

Dexter Morgan: It's been almost ten years.
Debra Morgan: Stick to your routine.
Dexter Morgan: You're right. Routine, routine, routine.

Dexter Morgan: You're looking at the guy where secrets go to die.

Dexter Morgan: Uh, cash or check?
Matt Caldwell: A check? What is this, 1985? Relax, I already Venmo'd Fred.

Dexter Morgan: Thanks for shopping at Fred's Fish &apm; Game.

Dexter Morgan: Harrison?
Debra Morgan: You can't. Everyone close to you dies. That's why we're here. ... Doakes. LaGuerta. Rita. Me... Everyone.

Debra Morgan: You're a changed man. Almost ten years without a kill. And I love you for it.

Dexter Morgan: It's been a long time. But if I'm gonna do this, I need to do it right. First rule of the code... don't get caught.

Dexter Morgan: Like you said... life is short... dude.

Dexter Morgan: Tonight's the night.

Dexter Morgan: I don't need trophies anymore. I may be a monster, but I'm an evolving monster.

Dexter Morgan: You were right. I'm Dexter Morgan. Your father. Come home. Please.
