Lumen: I know you. What you are, deep down. Aside from your police job and your "extracurricular activities". You're a father. I saw the pictures out there. Three children?
Dexter: The two oldest are with their grandparents. Their dad's mom and dad.
Lumen: You have a son?
Dexter: Harrison. He just started talking, today. He's tremendous.
Lumen: It's just the two of you?
Dexter: And an Irish superhero nanny. I never thought my life would turn out like this.
Lumen: I had imagined a totally different life for myself too. I always did everything by the book, you know? Go, go, go. I never stopped to think. There was high school, and college, and graduate school. Owen. We were gonna get married at the house that I grew up in. On my wedding day I, I tried on the dress, and I looked at the window in the backyard where the aisle was, and I saw everything that that aisle was leading to. Babies, and matching dinnerware. Sunday barbecues. And I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there, and find something ... more. Then, everything happened, and [pause] I actually thought "This is what I get. For trying to live my own life." Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?
Dexter: [quietly] A little.
Lumen: But tonight, I felt this like, this... peace. And it's because he's dead. [Pause, and then painfully] And I know that it's not gonna last. And when it wears of, I'm gonna have to find the rest of them. [tearfully] Because that's the only way that I'll find that peace again. I don't even have a name for what I'm feeling.
Dexter: [voiceover] I do. The Dark Passenger. I can't get revenge for Rita's death, but I can help Lumen avenge what was done to her. [Pause, and then aloud] How many more were there?

Lumen: I look different don't I? Without my hands tied behind my back. But you recognize me, I can tell. [Dexter removes Tilden's gag]
Tilden: I never wanted to do any of it.
Lumen: Really?
Tilden: It-it wasn't me. It-it was Jordan. It's all Jordan. You know, he has this way...
Dexter: Of getting inside your head, getting you in touch your primal nature.
Tilden: He made me do things I never would have done.
Lumen: [Angry] No, [putting a finger on his head] you made me do things I never would have done. Ever. EVER!
Tilden: What do you people want? I can give you Jordan Chase.
Dexter: We've got Jordan Chase.
Tilden: Well, what do you want? Everybody wants something. I mean, that-that-that's what brought us to this fucking unfortunate situation. Am I right? I'm a banker. I can get money, lots of it. We can work this out, just tell me what's this gonna cost? Just give me a number!
Lumen: [Leans in close to whisper] Thirteen. [She smiles at him]
Tilden: No, I- (Dexter regags him)
Dexter: [Walks over to a table and picks a knife, voiceover] There's a first time for everything. A first step, a first word, a first kiss, a first kill. Somehow you know when the time is right. [He gives Lumen the knife, and then says aloud] Aim for the heart.
[Lumen stares at the pictures of the other victims for a while, before she closes her eyes in grief. She walks up to the table that Tilden is restrained on, and climbs on top of it. She then stabs him in the heart. She pants in horror for a few seconds, and then manages to control herself]

Lumen: Share something with her. What you did with her when you were her age.
Dexter: I killed the neighbor's dog
Lumen: Well don't tell her that.

Lumen: So how do we find them?.
Dexter: I´m not sure about "We." It´s not working right here. What I do, I do alone, I don´t need a partner.

Lumen: What else did Jordan say?
Dexter: [Examining his knives] That you were toxic. And dangerous, that I was on a self-destructive path.
Lumen: That sounds like a threat.
Dexter: [As Lumen comes into the room] He was trying to make me doubt [turns to look at her] you.
Lumen: [She is dressed in all black "serial-killer garb"] What do you think?
Dexter: [He stares at her, clearly finding her beautiful] You look...
Lumen: I look stupid don't I?
Dexter: No, no, no.
Lumen: You can tell me the truth.
Dexter: You look...perfect.
[Lumen enters the kill room, where Dexter is waiting and Alex Tilden is restrained]

Lumen: Why do you have that in your purse?
Dexter: It's not a purse.

Lundy: Can I offer you some tea?
Dexter: Uh, no, thank you, I'm � [thoughts] And he pours it anyway. He's trying to throw me off balance, show that I don't have the power to say no to him.
Lundy: How about some sesame crackers to go with that?
Dexter: [thoughts] So I'll say yes to everything. [speech] I'd love some.
Lundy: [checks box] Oh, sorry. Guess I ate them all.
Dexter: [thoughts] Asshole.

Lundy: Hello, everyone. There is no such thing as the perfect crime. Not in my experience, anyway.

Lundy: I thought we were out as a couple.
Debra: Out and flaunting it are two different things.
Lundy: What, don't ask, don't tell?
Debra: Works for the military.
Lundy: Not really.

Lundy: People like us don't really belong, we just pass through.

Lundy: So you, one of the most cautious and precise forensic specialists I've had the pleasure to work with, you performed blood work that directly led to Rodrigo walking free. I ask myself, how the hell did that happen?
Dexter: [voiceover] And did you answer, Dexter blew the case on purpose so that he could get Rodrigo off the streets for good with a cordless reciprocating saw?

Lundy: So, let's get a jump start on the Bay Harbor Butcher. A moniker which, by the way, repulses me.
Dexter: [thoughts] Well, we have something in common.

Lundy: There's been speculation that this human harvest is connected to a case we recently solved. But there are several inconsistencies between the two sets of body parts. Gender. Exhanguination. Specific methods of dissection.
Dexter: [thoughts] Not to mention my guys deserved it.

Lundy: [at the mobile phone] Dexter! Frank Lundy here.
Dexter: [voiceover] The last person in the world I want to hear from.
Dexter: Glad to hear from you.

Maria L.: Closure will set you free.
