[Arthur Mitchell wakes up in Dexter's kill room, seemingly shocked by his surroundings]
Dexter: Guess you were picturing a different scenario.
Arthur: I was following my path.
Dexter: So was I.
Arthur: God led you to me.
Dexter: Hardly.
[Dexter cuts Arthur's cheek and creates a blood slide trophy; Arthur groans in pain]
Arthur: Is this who you are?
Dexter: Ta-da!
Arthur: Look at you! I never took pride in what I did!
Dexter: No, you were a very special kind of monster. You destroyed your own family.
Arthur: I gave them everything!
Dexter: No, you took everything; their future, their diginity, their hope... Christine even killed herself...
Arthur: No!
Dexter: ...because of you.
Arthur: She was weak!
Dexter: I can't believe there was a time when I actually thought I could learn something from you.
Arthur: You think you're better than I am?
Dexter: No. But I want to be.
Arthur: You can't control the demon inside of you any more than I could control mine.
Dexter: Did you ever actually try?
Arthur: Oh, God yes. I prayed to be changed, to be made different.
Dexter: That's not trying, that's waiting to be stopped.
Arthur: It worked, didn't it?
[They both look around at the kill room]
Arthur: Case in point.
Dexter: So what's the alternative, Arthur? Leave? Disappear? Fake my own death and start over again?
Arthur: No. You'll still be you.
Dexter: I have a family too, Arthur. And I'm good for them.
Arthur: [Laughs] You're like a child.
Dexter: A child with a big knife.
Arthur: You dream of a heaven you'll never see.
Dexter: I don't believe in heaven.
Arthur: Oh, but you do! This isn't your doing. This is God's plan. I accept that now. You have to do the same.
Dexter: I accept nothing. Nothing is inevitable.
Arthur: It's already over.
[Dexter looks confused and somewhat taken aback]
Arthur: It's already over. [Looks at the toy train set in the room] Could you...?
[Dexter turns on the train set and record player]
Arthur: Thank you. [singing] "I'll give her all the love I have to give, as long as we both shall live..."
[Dexter puts on his headgear and picks up a framing hammer, which he holds over Arthur]
Dexter: Now it's over.
[He flips the hammer so the sharp points are now facing down, then swings it towards Arthur.]
Dexter: Guess you were picturing a different scenario.
