- Dexter Morgan: Am I evil? Am I good? I'm done asking those questions. I don't have the answers. Does anyone?
- Dexter Morgan: Was it spontaneous combustion? Divine intervention? If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve.
- Vince Masuka: A badass like Doakes would rather burn than get burned - that's a good line for my movie. I better write it down!
- Debra Morgan: Put out an A.P.B. on Lila West, a.k.a: Lila Tourney. Suspected arsonist. 5'7", black hair, pale like a fucking corpse.
- Uniform Cop: "Fucking corpse"? You got it.
- Dexter Morgan: It's strange to have a creation out there. A deeply mutated version of yourself, running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel.
- Debra Morgan: You're a little weird, Dex.
- Dexter Morgan: That's not gonna change. I'm gonna be this way forever.
- Debra Morgan: I can live with that.
- Dexter Morgan: You're emotionally colorblind. You use the right words. You pantomime the right behavior. Your feelings never come to pass.
- Lila: It's not true.
- Dexter Morgan: It is, Lila. You know the dictionary definition of emotions. Longing, joy, sorrow. But you have no idea what any of those things actually feel like.
- Lila: You're wrong. I have feelings for you.
- Dexter Morgan: You want to have feelings for me, but they're just impulses.
- Lila: Enough!
- Dexter Morgan: They're primitive responses to immediate needs. You know all the words, but you can't hear the music.
- Lila: Don't do this.
- Dexter Morgan: Lila, I'm just like you.
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] When something beyond reason happens, it turns skeptics into believers. Believers in a higher power. But what kind of power did this?
- Captain Tom Matthews: [to Dexter] We received a phone call from a woman who claims to have vital information on the Bay Harbor Butcher.
- Dexter Morgan: It's strange to have a creation out there a deeply mutated version of yourself running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel.
