Dexter: [voiceover] Sleep, what a concept. I can't believe I actually contemplated turning myself in. This is so much better than a prison cell. I can squeeze fresh orange juice, savor a fine French roast, grab a morning workout. Okay, working out I could have done in prison. But still, I'm free.
Dexter: [voiceover] Sometimes I wonder what it would be like for everything inside me that's denied and unknown to be revealed. But I'll never know. I live my life in hiding. My survival depends on it.

Dexter: [voiceover] The backyard barbecue, it's a holdover from the last Ice Age when food was scarce and men had to work together to take down such a large beast. Those who worked well with others survived and their genes have been passed down through the centuries until they landed here, in this... my community.
Dexter: [voiceover] The danger with community is that those who don't belong are looked upon with suspicion. Those of us who prefer to work by ourselves, the lone wolves, risk being singled out. So I become an expert at blending in, camouflaging myself, being one of the guys.
