Tonight's the night. And it's gonna happen again and again. Has to happen.

Open your eyes and look at what you did! Look or I'll cut your eyelids right off your face

Trust me, I definitely understand. See, I can't help myself either. But children, I could never do that. Not like you. Never kids

My name is Dexter, Dexter Morgan. I don't know what made me the way I am. But whatever it was, left a hollow place inside

My new friend thought I wouldn't be able to resist the kill he left for me. But I did. I'm not the monster he wants me to be. So I'm neither man nor beast. I'm something new entirely. With my own set of rules. I'm Dexter
