Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : This is what makes a home: The noise of happy children, the warmth of a full house and the chill of an angry wife.

• [fist lines] 

  Arthur Mitchell : [singing]  Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin...

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue]  A wolf in sheep's clothing. Hour by hour the spitting image of a normal man.

  Arthur Mitchell : [singing, continued]  ... and be washed in the blood of the Lamb. There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean...

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue, continued]  Up at six A.M., breakfast seven A.M., work eight thirty.

  Arthur Mitchell : [singing, continued]  O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue, continued]  Study session. Shaping young minds... even on a Saturday.

  Arthur Mitchell : [singing, continued]  In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb!

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue, continued]  Noon, lunch with faculty. Out at three, dinner at six.

  Arthur Mitchell : [singing, continued]  Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue, continued]  Father, huband, teacher, deacon, all in the name of blending in. Camouflage is nature's craftiest trick.

• Dexter Morgan : [handing out gifts]  And for my lovely wife...

  Rita Bennett : A bread maker?

  Dexter Morgan : We're always running out of bread.

  Rita Bennett : We're always running out of milk, did you get me a cow, too?

• Dexter Morgan : [thinking while Rita's whimpers]  I'm perfectly comfortable with bodily fluids: blood, snot tears. But the emotions that go along with them, not so much.

  Rita Bennett : Dexter, are you hearing what Rita is saying?

  Dexter Morgan : She's upset?

• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue]  I became a husband, a father, I had to evolve it was the only way to survive.

  Rita Bennett : I have something else I wanna give you.

  Dexter Morgan : [voice-over of inner monologue]  Being myself in front of my family will take some getting used to but Arthur was right. I does feel... good.

  Rita Bennett : Got it.

  Dexter Morgan : Padlock?

  Rita Bennett : For the door. To keep it locked.

  Dexter Morgan : Shouldn't I leave it open?

  Rita Bennett : Please, we have three young children. There's dangerous stuff in there.
