Debra: I thought you were backing LaGuerta's story.
Angel: I didn't know what I was gonna do. I was stuck between a rock and my wife. But I decided, I'm backing you.
Debra: Might not go over to well at home.
Angel: You're flesh and blood to me. Like my kid sister, but better, because I actually like you.
Debra: [Touched] Damn.
Angel: It's okay.
Debra: Yeah, it's okay.

Astor: Harrison. He doesn't even recognize me.
Dexter: Well you didn't look like a raccoon the last time he saw you.
Dexter: Well you didn't look like a raccoon the last time he saw you.
Astor: I wish that it was just my mom and me and Cody and Harrison, because we all would have been better off if she'd never met you!
Astor: You come along and become a part of the family and we thought everything was going to be good forever. You made us think that! And it's not true; things got worse.
Barry: It's tough looking after somebody else's kid. Sometimes you just gotta show 'em who's boss.
Dexter: Is that what you do with Olivia, show her who's boss?
Barry: What's that supposed to mean?
Dexter: I know about Olivia's bruises. How they're strategically placed so they won't show.
Barry: I don't know what you're talking about.
Dexter: No? Let me show you? [Dexter punches Barry twice in the chest, causing him to gasp and cough in pain] That's your solar plexus. Right now your diaphragm is partially paralyzed which is why you're having trouble catching your breath.
Barry: [coughing] What are you, man? Some kind of psycho?
Dexter: Not today, just a concerned parent. [Punches Barry twice in the side, causing him to gasp further] That's your liver. [Punches him in the liver three more times] The nice thing about the liver is if you hit it just right, you hit the vagus nerve which tentacles out to the rest of your body. [Punches him there twice more] Your brain short-circuits, your body shuts down, and you feel, what's the word? Terror? Which is what Olivia felt every time you hit her there just so the bruises wouldn't show. I want you to listen to me carefully. Listen to me very carefully, because this is what you're gonna do. You're gonna call Olivia's mother, you're gonna tell her you're sick of her fat ass. You can't stand to look at it anymore. And you're gonna make her believe it. Because if you don't, she may take you back one day, and let you near her kid, or mine. And I can't let that happen. [Throws Barry to the ground] You're not even gonna swing by to pick up your stuff, you're just gonna leave. Tomorrow, when I drop Olivia off, you will be gone. If you ever come back, believe me I won't go so easy next time. [Kicks Barry in the side] By the way, that's your kidney. [Walks off. Gets into his car]
Harry: I can't believe it.
Dexter: I don't want to hear it, okay. "This isn't your business, Dexter. Don't get involved, Dexter. You put too much at risk, Dexter."
Harry: That's not what I was going to say. [Dexter looks at him, surprised] I'm proud of you.
Dexter: You are?
Harry: You protected Astor. Put yourself out there for another person. I had no idea you had that in you. I underestimated you, assumed you were a monster. When you were capable of, so much more. If only I'd seen that, maybe I wouldn't have lead you down this path.

Batista: We've got to re-open this case.
Deb: I know, but I can't tell LaGuerta, I'm supposed to be on file clerk duty.
Masuka: I can't tell LaGuerta; this case was solved. If I ask her to re-open it, I might as well put my balls in a vice and not in a hot way.
Batista: Well that just leaves me.

Debra: I gotta tell you Dexter, don´t say things like "It was me". People will misunderstand. In fact I don´t understand; what did you even mean?
Debra: Shit a brick and fuck me with it, you're never going to believe who this truck is registered to.
Debra: Watching these DVDs, watching it actually happen, is way worse than any fucking crime scene. What these women went through... I don't know. Maybe it's a fucking blessing that they're dead. No one could go through something like this and have a life again.
Dexter: [Long pause] People may be stronger than you think.
Debra: Believe me on this one, you're wrong. There's no coming back from something like this.

Debra: What in the mother of fuck went on in here?
Masuka: I know exactly what happened. Two words: autoerotic mummification. See, Mr. Plastic Man shot Captain Bloody Underpants while Underpants was in the choke.

Dexter: [about Rita] She had a big heart, big enough for the both of us, had to be, I wasn't even human when we first met. I never expected that to change. She reached out and found something I didn't even know was there. She never hurt anybody, she was innocent. And she died a brutal death and I can't fix it. But I know I have to try, here in Miami with the people who knew her... who cared about her, and who loved her... like I did.
