Quotes 

• Dexter Morgan : Man has always been drawn to the sea. But it's an unnatural setting for us, a place of great danger. Tides, currents, waves, wind, each presenting their own hazards, none of which can be ignored. The slightest lapse of judgment can be a mistake you might never recover from. But a good sailor doesn't fight against these elements. A good sailor works with them, using them to his advantage. While others less fortunate might be forever cast adrift, often in several pieces. He always comes home safely.

• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : Isn't that...?

  Sgt. Angel Batista : Farrow's assistant. I just arrested him for the murder of Estrella Carazo.

  Dexter Morgan : But no I thought...

  Sgt. Angel Batista : Yeah. At first it looked like Farrow, but this is airtight. We got camera footage from the toll booth of him heading over to Alligator Alley, we got DNA evidence, we got everything.

  [Dexter goes slowly into his office and crouches down by the door] 

  Dexter Morgan : [whispering]  I killed an innocent man.

• [first lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  There's a moment sailors call slack tide, when the tide is neither coming in nor going out, but perfectly still. It's a moment frozen in time. When all is calm and peaceful.

  [Dexter's phone rings] 

  Dexter Morgan : The only downside to it is that it passes too quickly.

• Det. Joseph 'Joey' Quinn : Put two people together in a room long enough, and they're gonna fuck.

  Dexter Morgan : Oh, that's so romantic. You should tatoo that across your fat head.
