  Dexter Morgan : I think you might have broken a commandment somewhere in there.

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  Am I the twisted Bay Harbor Butcher, or am I the valiant Dark Defender?

  [thinks about it for a second]

• Gail Brandon : You think you're charming, don't you? I'm sure that probably works for you most of the time. It did for Paul. I know what you are.

  Dexter Morgan : Confused?

• Dexter Morgan : [voiceover]  The rocks I used to submerge my victims may eventually sink me too, but if I'm learning anything in recovery, it's "one day at a time."

• [last lines] 

  Dexter Morgan : [narrating]  Harry taught me to lie, and keep my darkest secrets from those around me. Which why I need to make sure there's not a trace of blood left on my boat. He also taught me not to rush to judgement. Things aren't always what they appear to be - including Harry. And what about me? Am I the twisted Bay Harbor Butcher, or the valiant Dark Defender? Only time will tell.

  Dexter Morgan : Funny thing is, I've met someone who doesn't care what I am. I suppose every hero needs a side-kick. Every villain, a partner in crime? All my relationships have been built on not knowing. But that may be changing. Imagine that, a life with no more secrets.
