Friday News Roundup!
11/20/09

• The LA Times joins the long list of critics who think this is the best season yet of Dexter.
• New York Magazine contemplates real life serial killers who've possibly inspired the Trinity Killer.
• E!Online's Watch with Kristin has a theory about who shot Deb and Lundy. It's pretty far down the page (which is a mine field of spoilers for other shows), but her theory is [SPECULATION SPOILER - Highlight to view] that it's Trinity's son Jonah [END SPOILER]. What do you think?
• Seattle Post-Intelligencer gives Dexter one of the spots in its Top Moments of the Week List: "7. Best Mistake: On Dexter, our favorite serial killer offs a man who he believes murdered a model. But he second-guesses himself when police arrest the man's assistant for the same crime. For the first time, Dexter has broken his code and killed an innocent man. He's just like any other murderer now." I guess they're technically correct in that Freebo wasn't entirely innocent, but Freebo was definitely outside the code, as well.

What the teens are reading these days.

11/10/09

Accordiing to the School Library Journal, the Jeff Lindsay Dexter series seems to be a hit with the teens, at least in Campbell County KY.

Valerie Davis, Campbell County Public Library, KY:

"When teens started asking for books on forensics, we were surprised that they latched on to Jeff Lindsay’s adult “Dexter” series (Doubleday), which began with Darkly Dreaming Dexter, because of the concept on which it is based: sympathy for a serial killer."

It's great that kids are getting into forensics, but lets hope they stay away from serial killing!

• The Associated Press has a great interview with John Lithgow where he talks about what attracted him to the role of the Trinity Killer. Looks like we can thank his wife, who said "No, you've got to take the role," despite the plans they'd have to cancel to accommodate the shooting schedule.
• Chicago Tribune TV Critic Mary McNamara gives readers a glimpse of what's on her DVR and Dexter makes the cut. She writes "When it debuted, it was hard to imagine watching a show in which the hero was an emotionally damaged serial killer. Now it's impossible to imagine not watching." Check out the rest of her DVR list here.

New Serial Killer? More Severed Feet In Shoes Found Along The Coast of British Columbia

11/04/09

On Thursday, October 29, 2009, another right foot was found inside of a running shoe on a beach in Richmond. It is the 7th foot found along B.C.'s coast in two years. All the feet have said to separate from the body through a natural process. However, it is unknown as to why these body-less feet have been appearing at all. So far, all of the severed feet have been inside of sneakers. An interactive map tracks the first 6 feet, all near Vancouver, on the coast of BC.

It seems like we could use Dexter's help in solving this real-world mystery of the floating feet in sneakers.

EPISODE 11: "Truth Be Told"

Episode summary:Dexter investigates when the Ice Truck Killer strikes again, killing the prosthetic arm prostitute and leaving her body before a Christmas tree in Miami's Santa's Cottage. Sgt. Doakes continues to grow more suspicious about Dexter after catching him in a series of lies about his connection to the Ice Truck Killer. Dexter finally finds a connection between him and the Ice Truck Killer over a past case involving Harry Morgan and a bloodbath crime scene back in 1973 involving Dexter's biological mother. Meanwhile, Lt. Maria Laguerta braces herself for dramatic changes in the department when the officious Captain Matthews maliciously makes her the scapegoat for the department's failure in the case to find the Ice Truck Killer, and he has her replaced. Rudy and Debra spend some quality time together in which he proposes marriage to the smitten detective. With Angel in the hospital recovering from the stabbing, his estranged wife pays a visit, while Rita decides to take her children, Astor and Cody, to visit Paul who's now back in prison.

FLASHBACKS

More flashbacks to his mother's (Laura Moser's) bloody death.

CLUES TO DEXTER'S PAST

Dexter finds out his mother was chopped up with a chainsaw because of a drug deal gone bad.

Camilla (the file clerk at the Miami PD) knows something but says she can't help Dexter. She said she destroyed his mother's case file the moment Dexter's adoption papers went through.

DEXTER'S RELATIONSHIPS

Developments with Rita:

Cody runs away because he's upset that his father, Paul, is back in jail.

Dexter finds Cody and wants Rita to tell her kids the truth about Paul. Rita takes her kids and leaves the playground.

Interactions with others:

Doakes notices that Dexter doesn't feel anything when they find out that Angel will live. Doakes pushes Dexter up against the wall by putting his hand on his shoulder and pushing him. Dexter tells him to not touch him.

Dexter has lunch with Rudy (Debra set it up) and discovers that Rudy wants to propose to Debra.

Dexter visits Angel at the hospital to check the back of his head to make sure that the blood on the back of Angel's shirt isn't his. Angel asks him how his relationship with Rita is going. Dexter tells him they had a falling out and that he thinks it's easier to be alone. Angel does not agree with him.

SIGNIFICANCE OF EPISODE TITLE

The title for this episode is a little harder to decipher. It most likely just refers to the fact that in this episode both Dexter and Deb discover Rudy is the Ice Truck Killer (although Deb finds out a little too late).

it's about the conflict of parents as to when to tell the truth: Harry didn't tell dexter about his brother and Rita doesn't want to tell her kids the truth about Paul

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Best Moments:

Doakes' intense confrontation with Dexter at the hospital after the news that Angel will live.
Rita standing up to Paul during her visitation.
Dexter realizing that Rudy is the one that stabbed Angel, and then that he is the Ice Truck Killer.

Rudy's revelation to Debra on his boat

Captain Matthews telling LaGuerta that she's no longer the Lieutenant.

Best Lines:

"You cheated on me, you broke my heart, you broke my bones." (Rita to Paul)

"Why would loving and helpful Rudy need an industrial-grade lock and a security camera?" Dexter

Doakes: That him?
Debra: Yeah, how do you know?
Doakes: Cause you have that stupid ass grin on your face again.

EPISODE TRIVIA

Nina expresses her disgust at Angel when she finds him about to eat "two Doublemeat" hamburgers. The Doublemeat Palace is the fictitious fast food restaurant suspected of serving ground-up human murder victims in Buffy the vampire slayer (1997), where Drew Z. Greenberg also worked as a staff writer.

Rudy's apartment number is 23.

Slack Tide

denkiva — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:08:12 CST

SLACK TIDE
Airdate: November 8, 2009
Directed by:Tim Hunter
Written by: Scott Buck

Dexter finds himself enjoying a brief moment of tranquility. He's finally managed to strike a balance between work, family... and other pursuits. But he's keenly aware that times like these aren't meant to last. When Miami Metro discovers a string of murders connected to a prominent photographer, Dexter sees an opportunity for a clean kill. However, his plans seem to be thwarted every step of the way. Quinn has taken a renewed interest in Dexter's nightlife. Dexter's plans to keep Astor and Cody distracted with new activities soon backfire. Even Harry disapproves of Dexter's choice of pastime, urging him instead to focus his efforts on the Trinity Killer. Meanwhile, Debra returns to work, frustrated to find everyone treating her with kid gloves. She decides to concentrate on her pursuit of the Trinity Killer as well as delving into her father's checkered past - investigations which Dexter fears might lead her to danger - or worse, the truth.

More about "Slack Tide"

Dexter shares the definition of slack tide in the opening monologue: a slack tide is when the tide is neither coming in nor going out, but perfectly still.In relation to the episode, Dexter is experiencing a slack tide or sorts in his life. He believes that he's found a perfect balance between his private, work, and domestic life. However, much like how Dexter said in the beginning, "The only downside to the slack tide is that it doesn't last long", and Dexter's ends this episode when he finds he has killed an innocent man.

Name: Jonathan Farrow

Occupation: Photographer

Last words: “Because of my pictures, those women will live on forever!”

Location of killing: Farrow's home

Why victim deserves it: Dexter suspected him of killing at least three of his models that he photographed, but in a twist of events, at the end of the episode Dexter discovers that Farrow was actually completely innocent of any murder.

Where/how Dexter stalks victim: After an aborted attempt at a nightclub, Dexter attacks Farrow in his home while he was suppose to be camping with Cody.

Dexter's kill method/rituals: Classic Dexter.

Close calls/slip-ups: Farrow turns out to be be innocent.

Did Dexter kill an innocent man?

Dexter - "Dear Abby: I'm a serial killer and need advice on keeping my kids from taking over my life."
Dexter - "Okay - two serial killers go for a ride. Why do I get the feeling that this jokes ends with only one of them coming back?"
Name - "Quote"

Dexter killed his first innocent man (at least, the first one who wasn't attacking him with a knife anyway).
Trinity has strange mood swings and couldn't even kill a deer.
Harry slept with numerous CI's.

Dexter sees Harry when Deb reveals to him his multiple affairs. Even in a dream state, Harry looked guilty.
Harry continued to press Dexter on killing Trinity while they were on their little excursion in the woods.
When Dexter finds out Farrow is innocent there is a flash to Harry who has a very dissapointed look on his face.

Episode summary:

Dexter grapples with what to do with his new found friend, Miguel, who thinks he is clued in to Dexter’s vigilante ways. So Dexter decides to test him to see how far he wants to go. Dexter reveals that he’s always wanted to bring a violent white supremacist who is already in jail, to his brand of ‘justice.’ Thinking this will force Miguel to back away, Dexter is surprised to find that Miguel is not only on board, but he has a daring strategy to complete Dexter’s dark plan. Simultaneously, Rita gets fired from her job, leaving her wondering if she will ever have a real career. Debra is upset when she realizes she may be partially responsible for another mysteriously skinned homicide case she’s trying to solve.

Description of crime: Victim skinned (alive) all across chest and up right arm.

Victim(s): Wendell Owens

Assigned officer(s): Debra Morgan, Joseph Quinn, Angel Battista

Crime scene: Victim left in chair out in the open public.

Suspect(s): Initially Ramon Prado, however by the end of the episode, Deb and Quinn's investigation of him shows that while he is indeed a loose-cannon, he is not the "skinner".

Clue(s):

Blood evidence suggests: The victim was killed by the actual skinning process this time, unlike the other skinned victims who were killed otherwise, and that the murderer has had plenty of practice doing this.

Description of crime:

Victim(s):

Assigned officer(s):

Crime scene:

Suspect(s):

Clue(s):

Blood evidence suggests...

Victim Name: Clemson Galt

Age/Occupation: Neo-Nazi in prison

Where/how Dexter stalks victim: In an elaborate scheme with Miguel, Dexter breaks him out of custody.

Why victim deserves it: Killed multiple people. Ran Aryan operations from inside maximum security prison.

Dexter's kill methods and rituals: The usual: plastic sheets, plastic wrap, cheek cut, blood slide, etc.

Victim's last words: "No. You got me mixed up with somebody else".

Location of killing: Inside the abandoned home of a previous victim of Galt's.

Close calls/slip-ups: Involving a third party in the killer/killed equation (namely, Miguel Prado) is risky enough as it is. They were almost caught escaping the courthouse.

DAYDREAMS

CLUES TO DEXTER'S PAST

Dexter is sunbathing poolside at his apartment when Harry appears to warn him against trusting Miguel with his secrets. Dexter defends Miguel and brusquely dismisses Harry. He cautions Dexter that Miguel will never be able to truly accept him.

Harry appears to Dexter again, this time wearing the familiar "kill suit" that Dexter sports. Again he urges Dexter to distance himself from Miguel.

Dexter suddenly doubts Miguel's intentions when Miguel sends the police out into the parking garage where he is hiding out with his next victim. Harry confronts Dexter in an "I told ya so" way and tells him that Miguel has set him up. Dexter's fierce faith in Miguel forces Harry's image to disappear just as Miguel comes to Dexter's aid.

Dexter continues to converse with (dead) Harry, showing how much Dexter misses having Harry in his life as a sounding board. Explains Dexter having pursued so many new relationships since Harry died. Dexter misses his dad.

The title is a Spanish phrase that translates to "Yes it can be done". It was penned as the motto for the United Farm Workers by Cesar Chavez in 1972. More recently, it was used as a campaign slogan (albeit the English translation of "Yes We Can") for President-Elect Barack Obama. As for the relevance to this episode, it speaks for the growing partnership between Miguel and Dexter. Dexter has invested a phenomenal amount of trust in Miguel and it appears that they have forged a viable "working" relationship.

Dexter visits Camilla Figg in the hospital as she is dying of lung cancer. He hand feeds her Key-Lime pie, though she contests that it isn't the best she's had.

Dexter and Miguel plot the murder of Clemson together. Dexter initially tried to intimidate Miguel by choosing an impossible target for their first team-kill, however Miguel was steadfast and came up with the entire plan himself. Dexter suspects Miguel isn't wanting these murders for justice so much as he does for his own pleasure.

"Reason leads to self-preservation: a potent force" -Dexter trying to dissuade Miguel from plotting a risky kill.

Dexter Morgan

FROZEN BARBIE LOOKING FOR KEN
"Dear Ken,
I'm in pieces. Why the cold shoulder?"

Love Barbie

ONE RESPONSE TO "FROZEN BARBIE LOOKING FOR KEN
"Dear Barbie,
Be patient. One day we'll share a cold one."

"If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve..." The british invasion, season 2

"There's something strange and disarming about looking at a homicide scene in the daylight of Miami. It makes the most grotesque killings look staged, like you're in a new and daring section of Disney World: Dahmerland!" ~ Dexter, Season 1

"I don't blame my foster parents for that. Harry and Doris Morgan did a wonderful job raising me. But, they're both dead now. No, I didn't kill them. Honest." ~ Dexter, Season 1

"Tonight's the night. And it's going to happen again, and again. Has to happen. Nice night."

"You're mine now."

"Needless to say I have some unusual habits, yet all these socially acceptable people can't wait to pick up hammers and smash their food to bits. Normal people are so hostile."

"People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all, and I fake them very well. That’s my burden, I guess."

"Blood is... (my life) my job."

"There are no secrets, just hidden truths beneath the surface."

"Truly amazing the things you can do when you put your mind to it."

"Everyone hides who they are."

"Open your eyes or I'll staple your eyelids to your forehead."

"Tonight's the night -- really."

"I really need ... to kill somebody."

“Her husband’s a crack head and her boyfriend's a serial killer, it’s kind of hard not to take that personally.”

"Open your eyes and look at what you did!!!"

"When do I ever ask you for anything?!" (Asking Deb to go out with Rita.)

"Blood...sometimes it sets my teeth on edge. Other times it helps me control the chaos."

"Trust me, I definitely understand."

"I've never seen such clean, dry, neat-looking dead flesh."

"Interesting hand job."

"She's perfect, because in her own way, Rita is as damaged as me."

"Nah, Miami is too hot for all that leather."

"The killer is an artist."

"The only real question I have is why, in a building full of cops, all supposedly with a keen insight into the human soul, is Doakes the only one that gets the creeps from me?"

"Where's my sister?"

"I was hoping you could dig up an old case file for me. It's the crime scene where Harry found me."

"I didn't even know you existed."

"I drove away a brother who accepts me, for a foster father who betrayed me. I'm not alone, and Harry kept it from me."

"I'm on edge. 38 days, 16 hours and 12 minutes have passed since I killed my brother." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"For weeks I've known who's next. He belonged to me. I just needed Doakes to take a night off." ~ It's Alive -Season 2

"I need to uh...curse someone." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"I'm not a tourist." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"A blind man. Not very sporting, I know. But I'm not one to discriminate based on race, gender or disability." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"I've always enjoyed my work. It brings order to the chaos, fills me with civic pride - but what was that back there? Not Voodoo. When I picked up the knife it's like I didn't know who I was. I come here to dump bodies, not beer bottles. Now I'm just a litterbug." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"It'll be OK. I followed the code, the stalk was good. I'm just a little rusty since killing my brother. Or maybe I took pity on my victim. I mean sure, he's a heinous killer, but he also bumps into walls." ~ It's Alive - Season 2

"I was there. I saw my mother's death, a buried memory, forgotten all these years. It climbed inside me that day and it's been with me ever since, my dark passenger."

"It's time for you to go away."

"This is what he wanted me to find all along. He's showing me where to go."

"Just lucky, I guess.."

"You're not a trophy - but you need to be put down." ~ Born Free, Season 1

"Doakes always knew I was hiding something. Now he knows. My devil danced with his demon and the fiddler's tune is far from over."

"It's not what I want. But what I want doesn't matter. This is the only way I know how to survive."

"I'm doing mental jumping-jacks."

"I wish I could have fun - with Doakes tailing me, my life's been all Jekyll and no Hyde. No moonlight play-dates, no late-night social calls. Not one. My brother would be so disappointed."

"That's not entirely accurate..."

"Let that be a lesson to you."

"Deborah can't sleep in an empty house anymore. In fact she can't sleep much at all. I guess that's what happens when your fiancee tries to slice you up into small, bloodless pieces."

"Pathetic."

"I can't even get donuts right. What's going on here?"

"Oops - caught me."

"I could think of easier solutions."

"See, she's yelling at me now. Look, I'm no expert, but I think Deb could use some real girl-time."

"Harry would prefer I take more time, but my life is falling apart. Whatever stopped my knife before, won't stop it again."

"Practice, practice, practice."

"Hi. My name's Dexter - I can't think of anything clever to say."

"That was.. unexpected."

"Hey Sergeant! Thanks for supporting the bowling team."

"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, my own set of rules. I'm Dexter."

"I can't kill Meridian yet. I need another therapy session."

"39 days, 22 hours, and 18 minutes since I killed my brother. I am cursed."

"Donut?"

"I don't normally experience failure."

"I'm drifting. I finally get a chance to kill and I can't do it."

"Where is the orderly, controlled, effective Dexter? How did I lose him?"

"Here I am, back in the belly of the beast. But how can I solve a crime, when I can't even solve what's wrong with me?"

"Tell me about it. The last thing Miami needs is another serial killer."

"I'm more of a crying on the inside kinda guy." ~ Waiting to Exhale, Season 2

"This neighborhood - full of crazies. I'd lock my doors"

"I will not kill my sister, I will not kill my sister, I will not kill my sister."

"Happy Hour. Now there's a misnomer."

"I see their pain. On some level, I even understand their pain. I just can't feel their pain."

"The problem with eating and driving, which I love to do, is not being able to employ the 10-2 hand position on the wheel. It's a matter of public safety. But there's always a sacrifice."

"Preparation is vital. No detail can be overlooked, and the ritual is intoxicating."

"If the eyes are the windows to the soul, and grief is the door - as long as it's closed, it's the barrier between knowing and not knowing. Walk away from it and it stays closed forever. But open it and walk through it, and pain becomes truth. And now I'm faced with the struggle for my own survival that I always knew was coming. I've been preparing for this my entire life."

"I have to say goodbye in order to reconnect with what's really important. With who I was; with who I have to be."

"I'm not the monster he [The ITK] 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."

"They uh, ate my puppy...." ~ Waiting to Exhale, Season 2

"The mask is slipping."

"I don't have a badge. I have a laminate." ~ See-Through, Season 2

"Make up your mind."

"In our most paranoid moments we feel everyone is talking about us."

"Never take your dirty laundry to work."

All part of the grand code of Harry.” Season 3 Our Father

“Vince Masuka, lemon custard.” Season 3 Our Father

“Harry. He finds a kid in a pool of blood, and turns that kid…me….into his own personal vendetta machine.” Season 3 Our Father “

And what did you do when you saw the monster you created in action? You killed yourself. And I was abandoned…again.” Season 3 Our Father

Cody : Howed you get that scar
Dexter: Sword fight. I won.

"You have made me your sworn enemy, evil woman." Speaking of Rita's Mother when she asks Dexter to tell her everything there is to know about him.

"Perhaps I have misjudged you, O wise one" Speaking of Rita's mother after saying that the Bay Harbor Butcher has her seal of approval.

"Nice hand job." About Tuchi's missing hand.

Dexter: Hi, you wanted to...
Lundy: Morgan, come in. Can I offer you some tea?
Dexter: No, thank you. I'm...(Voice Over): 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(Voice Over): So I'll say yes to everything. (Spoken) I'd love some.
Lundy: Oh, sorry. Guess I ate them all.
Dexter (Voice Over): A**hole.

"The Lila experament is over"

Lila: (about Cody) He's trying to control you. By hiding toys in your bag, you have no choice but to return them to him.
Dexter: He's seven. He seldom has thoughts more complicated than the desire for candy.

Rita: Oh dexter, how's Deborah?
Dexter: Well, she has all her limbs.
Rita: Imagine falling for a serial killer.
Dexter: Yeah, what are the odds?

"I don't blame my foster parents for that. Harry and Doris Morgan did a wonderful job raising me. But, they're both dead now. No, I didn't kill them. Honest."

Dexter (Voice Over): Lundy's bees are buzzing. Something has agitated the hive.

(voice over) " It's strange to have a creation out there, a deeply mutated version of yourself, running lose ans screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel."

Deb: "Sweet Mary mother of **** that's good."
Dex: " I think you might have broken a commandment somewhere in there."

Book: Dearly Devoted Dexter

Harry: "We can't always do what we think we have to do. So when there's nothing else you can do, you wait." (Chapter 10 pg. 95)

Kyle Chutsky: "Follow the money. Works every time."

"Chutsky tried very hard to be chummy and pleasant, as if he decided that when you can't tell the truth you might as well be charming."

"For me, to decide is to act."

"How true it was that we never appreciate things until we must do without them." (Chapter 20 pg.185)

"Complaining had never done me a bit of good." (Chapter 20 pg.185)

" When you're not wanted there's not much you can do except leave." (Chapter 26 pg.248)

Michael C. Hall

~ I like olives.

~ (About the character of Dexter) I think Dexter is a man who…a part of himself is very much frozen, or arrested in a place that is pre-memory, pre-conscious, pre-verbal. Something very traumatic happened to him, he doesn't know what that is. And I think on some level he wants to know. He denies his humanity, he describes himself as someone who is without feeling, and yet I think that he maybe suspects - in a way that maybe isn't even conscious yet when we first meet him - that he is in fact a human being. Dexter's a unique killer in that his father saw his dark impulses, shined a light on them, and told Dexter that he saw them, he accepted them, that Dexter is good and that he is worthy of love. And I think that's what enables him to focus his energies in this unique way.

~ (About his Golden Globe nomination for "Dexter"). The show has momentum, it's captured people's imagination.... I won't deny that it's a thrill to be recognized in this way. I'll bring as many people [to the Jan. 15, 2007, Globes ceremony] as I can, based on how many tickets they give me.

~ It's interesting to play a role where you don't really have to preoccupy yourself with any need to convince yourself that you're not acting.

~ People feel like they know me from the work I have done, but it's not me.

Harry Morgan

"Lose control, become powerless, and lose it all."

"Dexter, enough with the psychopath BS. You're in control of your urges, not the other way around!"

"Remember this forever: You are my son, you are not alone, and you are loved."

Misc.

Camilla: "You don't bring me donuts."
Dexter: "And you don't sing me love songs."

Harry Morgan: "Son, there are people out there who do really bad things. Terrible people. And the police can't catch them all. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Teenage Dex: "You're saying... they deserve it. "

Masuka: "Hey, better bundle up."
Dexter: "I like the cold."
-from Born Free-

Lt. LaGuerta: "Tell me Dexter, how do you get to be so smart?"
Dexter: "Hmm... Lots of sleep."

Doakes: "********, what the hell were you really doin' in here?"
Dexter: "The **** are right there."
Doakes: "Yeah, but in ten years you've never rented a single porn title."
Dexter: "Huh, how would you know? Call me an 'office crazy' but, your humbling interest in my personal life could be misinterpreted as harassment in some circles."
Doakes: "So report me."
Dexter(in head): "I could think of easier solutions..."
Doakes(as he leaves):"Nice ****."

Doakes: "Just make sure we check the dock slips for criminal records, it's possible the victim was killed by one of these boat owners out here."
Dexter: "Yeah or maybe it was just an easy-access spot to dump a corpse at night. There are no light poles, the freeway exit ramp's just a block away."
Angel: "He's got a point."

Dexter to Lil' Chino: "Look at that...steady as a surgeon." (plunges knife) -
-from Waiting to Exhale-

Dexter: "I told you, blood spatter doesn't take up all my time, maybe I can help."
Camilla: "You have a morbid sense of fun."
Dexter: "That's probably true."

Dexter: "Look."
Mike Donovan: "No."
Dexter: "Ah..yes."
Donovan: "No, no."
Dexter: "It's horrible, isn't it, isn't it? Open your eyes and look at what you did!! Look or I'll cut your eyelids right off your face. It took me a long time to get these little boys clean. One of them had been in the ground so long he was falling apart, I pulled him out in bits and pieces."
Donovan: "Hail Mary, full of grace-"
Dexter(slaps him): "Stop, that never helped anybody!"
Donovan: "Please, you can have anything."
Dexter: "That's good, beg. Did these little boys beg?"
Donovan: "I couldn't help myself, please, you have to understand!"
Dexter: "Trust me, I definitely understand. See, I can't help myself either. But children, I couldn't do that, not like you. Never, ever, kids."
Donovan: "Why?"
Dexter: "I've got standards."

James Doakes

Doakes(to Dexter): "Shut the f*** up and write your report already. I don't even know why I need you. Grab a crayon psycho and scribble this down."

Doakes: "What's your thing psycho?"

Doakes:"Lab geek, my a**!"

Funny

Doakes:You give me the f***ing creeps.
Dexter: Yeah, I know. Sorry about that.

Deb: "I knew her, now she's dead..."
Dexter: "Do you want a hug?"
Deb: "F*** off."

Gay man: "Are you finding Dr. Meridian helpful?"
Dexter: "Nah, I'm a sociopath....there's not much he can do for me."
Gay man: "Cute AND funny!" (what's funny here is that Dexter wasn't even joking)

Rita: "Oh Dexter, hows Deborah?"
Dexter: "Well, she has all her limbs."
Rita: "Imagine, falling for a serial killer."
Dexter: "Yeah, what are the odds."

Doakes: "You're supposed to be preserving the crime scene, a**hole."

Doakes: "Angel, you keep up with this woo-woo ****, I'm gonna walk right through you."

Rita: "I can't help it. I kill things."
Dexter: "That must be awful."

Masuka: "Say it."
Dexter: "You're my Daddy."
Masuka: "Sounds weird when you say it."

Lundy: "Hearing's the first thing to go. Or is it memory? I can't remember."

Angel: "You know, Pascal is just caught up in a cycle of reaction. She's not co-creating her own reality."
Dexter: "You know those words don't actually mean anything, right?"

Masuka: Hair pulling may not be manly, but it's very effective (advice given to Dexter to protect himself from Debra) ~There's Something About Harry, Season 2

Masuka: Hey Morgan, do you want to sit on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas?
Debra: No thanks, the last thing on my list is a burning sensation when I pee.

LiLa Tournay

Lila: This isn’t art. This is cottage porn.

Lila: pardon my T**ts

(Upon discovering that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher)
Lila: "No wonder he is so shut down!"
Doakes: "What are you? His accomplice?"
Lila: "... I'm his soulmate"

Angel Batista

Angel (To Dexter): You musta' been a ************ at cats-cradle

Angel: (Refering To Sgt. Doakes) What crawled up his ass?
Deb: He hates lab rats.
Angel: Well here’s a headline, it's lab rats that make us cops look good.

Angel: (Giving Advice To Dexter) Don’t go down that emotional road, just go down on her, it’s easier, and she’ll be distracted.

Angel and Deb Examining Neil Perry's Stash
Deb: This is a record of everything he's ever done.
Angel: I got photos.
Deb: Those are his crime scenes. Did we release those photos to the press?
Angel: No.
Deb: Did he take them himself?
Angel: He had to.
Deb: Did we just hit the motherload?
Angel: No. We hit the ************' motherload.

Angel: According to the DMV, this is where Perry lives.
Deb: Ew, with his seven inbred cousins by the look of it. Something has gotta be wrong with somebody that can live in a steel box.
Angel: Aluminum, actually. Nina and I had a deluxe multi-sectional.
Deb: For real?
Angel: It was our starter home.

Psych patient: (Repeating) She knows. She knows.
Angel: If she knows, you yapping about it ain't gonna change it.

Masuka: How come you got a hug and I get a pat on the nose?
Angel: Cause you're like a retarded puppy.

Deb: The Bay Harbor Butcher is one of our own.
Lundy: We keep this to ourselves for now. Just the three of us.
Angel: Well I'm gonna go tell it to a bottle of scotch.

Dexter: (about Lila) She's not really a decorator.
Angel: It's not really my apartment that I want decorated.

Angel: I heard that Doakes walked off in the middle of Lundy's questioning, and uh, Lundy didn't stop him. (Deb glares at him) I might've heard that wrong.

Dexter: Angel, if I got to choose a person, a real person, to be like, out of anyone, it'd be you.
Angel: Not really sure what that means, but thanks Dex.

Debra Morgan

"I'm sorry Dex but she is gross. And pale. And nobody's pale in Miami. She is obviously a vampire. A gross english ti**y vampire."

"Put those away or I will shove them up your ass." Deb sees handcuffs come out for Batista.

"Pale like a fcking corpse." Deb giving a desciption of Lila.

When Lila asks Dexter if he's coming with her. " Oh, my god. What did you do to make her so pathetically crazy for you? Does your dick dance?"

Patty — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:54:24 CST

ROAD KILL
Airdate: November 15, 2009
Directed by: Ernest Dickerson
Written by: Melissa Rosenberg and Scott Reynolds

Dexter has always known his father's Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous - human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn't prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard - that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

Season 4, Episode 8:
Road Kill

So I made a mistake – it could have happened to anyone. Well, any murderer. Not that murderers typically care if their victims are innocent or not. But why is it eating at me? Jonathan Farrow, S&M photographer, abuser of women, *******, but not a killer. Not up to Harry’s Code. Yet I killed him, now I’m … uncomfortable. It should have been Arthur Mitchell on my table. Trinity, shooter of my sister. I should have… No, no should haves – that’s not me. I just need to stop thinking about it.

Batista briefs the team on Farrow’s murder. Debra comments on Dexter's clearly agitated state.

Debra next takes the floor to brief the team on the Trinity case, showing a series of victim photos and showing the signature smudge of supposed ash within each crime scene photo. Scene changes to Arthur Mitchell’s garage workshop, where he crouches over the casket he built, in a prayer-like pose. Dexter drives up to the house. Arthur’s kids are out front, washing the car and watering the plants. Dexter says he’s there to check on Arthur after the disturbing situation with the dead dear – Arthur says he’s over it, “No need to dwell on it.” His wife comes out to tell him that his clothes are clean and ready to be packed. Arthur is heading to Tampa for a Four Walls build. Dexter assumes he’s doing an out-of-town kill, and determines to come up with some viable excuse for Rita and LaGuerta to get to Tampa. He comes up with a “Weather Happens” conference and drums up some BS explanation for why it is relevant to his blood spatter expertise.

Debra gets pulled from the Trinity case by LaGuerta because she is one of his victims.

Dexter packs his things for the trip, including a rather large knife and the framing hammer Trinity gave him. For his part, Trinity packs a glass bottle of his sister’s ashes. The next morning, Dexter/Kyle shows up as Arthur is leaving on his trip and asks to go along with him. Arthur is reluctant for him to come along, and seems very disquieted, but he lets Kyle come along.

Back at the office, Quinn, Masuka, LaGuerta, and Batista discuss the Trinity case; Debra is standing nearby and pantomimes to Quinn so that he recommends a random field swabbing for DNA to find the killer.

On the road with Arthur, Dexter pesters Arthur with his incessant questioning. Arthur testily cuts him off and says, “You told me you were troubled – why?” Dexter is slow to respond: “I did something. I made a mistake. A big one.” Arthur is irritated by his vagueness. They pull in at a rest stop, where Arthur keeps pushing to have Kyle divulge his secret. Dexter finally blurts out that he killed a man by mistake. “I thought he was an animal.” He tells him it was a hunting accident. Arthur shares his perspective about the difficulty of bearing guilt and remorse, emotions that “separate us from the animals.” “You’re conscience is eating away at you, but you’ll feel better.”

Back in his hotel, Dexter thumbs through the yellow pages to find a local hardware store, to get supplies for killing Trinity. Debra calls and asks him about crime scene photos he took in the jumper case, and razzes him about his geeky climatology convention. As he’s leaving his room to go to the hardware store, a very animated Arthur greets him at the door and tells him that there has been a change in plans – that they will not be going to the build site in the morning, as planned, but that instead he has planned a surprise for Kyle that will make him feel better. Dexter wonders if Arthur has a “formula for remorse,” and decides that he’ll hold off on killing him until the next night so he can see what Arthur has in store for him.

Back at the station, Batista and LaGuerta huddle over the books to find funding for the DNA swabbing sweep. They are succumbing to their feelings for one another when Quinn comes in and says that he got some of his colleagues to donate vacation days to raise enough money for the field swab sweep. He leaves and LaGuerta and Batista give in to their desires in the briefing room!

Christine wakes Quinn up and tells him she’s in a desperate situation with regard to work, that if she doesn’t get a “lead that bleeds,” she’ll lose her job. Quinn rejects her advances, but is sympathetic to her situation. She looks over his shoulder into his apartment as he hugs her and sees a paper that has information about DNS swabbing.

The next morning, Dexter is heading out of his hotel room to go check in at the conference when he encounters Arthur in the parking lot. Arthur is beside himself with excitement. Yesterday he’s jumping down my throat, today he’s the happy dancing man. Is that mask of his crumbling? They pull out of the parking lot.

Back at the station, Debra influences Quinn to have Masuka give him access to Dexter’s discard files. Masuka is overseeing the planning and preparation of the field swabbing.

The source of Arthur’s agitation and excitement becomes clear to Dexter when the two of them arrive at an unassuming house. Arthur pushes his way inside past the very confused Asian couple that lives there, explaining that this is the house he grew up in. He charges up the stairs, with Dexter following behind him. He pauses outside of the bathroom. “This is where it all started,” Arthur says, looking like he’s seen a ghost. He proceeds to tell Dexter that he was watching his sister take a shower, as a ten-year-old boy. It was innocent, but his sister saw him watching and slipped, shattering the glass shower door and slicing her leg. “She was dead by the time the ambulance came. So much blood.”

Born in blood, both of us.

Arthur continues with his story, recounting that his parents blamed him and that his sister’s death turned his mother into a shell of a person, that she eventually committed suicide, leaving him alone with his abusive, alcoholic father, who viciously berated him for killing his sister and mother and beat him. “What happened to him?” asks Dexter. “He died. I’ve never told anyone any of this,” Arthur says. Dexter asks him why he’s told him, and he says, “So you’d know you’re not alone. You’re like me. We’re both responsible for the death of an innocent. We share that.” He hugs him, “Do you feel better.” The frightened couple who lives in the house kick ask them to leave.

Back in Miami, Christine confronts Debra with the knowledge about the DNA roadblocks. Debra tries to throw her off the scent and says she’ll consent to do the “hero interview” Christine has been after her to do.

Kyle and Arthur sit down to lunch at the greasy spoon restaurant at the hotel where the weather conference is happening. He excuses himself to go to the bathroom so he can finally check himself in. To further cement his alibi, he takes a picture with Sonny Skies, a cheesy weatherman celebrity who is at the conference, and sends it to Rita at home. Rita is having probably a bit too much fun with her neighbor Elliot, who has taken the kids out fishing and is now hanging out with them for dinner.

When Dexter returns to the restaurant, he discovers that a seriously manic Arthur has camped out with a family at another table and has apparently told them about their trip to his childhood home and all the awful events of his youth. The family – mom, dad, and two children – are clearly very upset by this recitation. Arthur is reveling in the need for unburdening yourself, lightening your spiritual load. Dexter succeeds in getting him away from the freaked-out family and asks that they go by a hardware store so he can buy some supplies to donate to the Four Walls effort.

Back at Miami Metro, Debra is camped out in the women’s bathroom reviewing Dexter’s crime scene photos. She looks at her bullet wounds and something clicks. She goes into Masuka’s lab and they sort out pretty quickly that the shooter couldn’t have been as tall as Trinity, due to the trajectory required to match her wound pattern. They conclude the shooter would be closer to Masuka’s height.

Back in Tampa, Dexter and Arthur return from their shopping errand. Dexter prepares for the kill.

Back in Miami, chez Morgan, Rita is enjoying her wine with Elliot, and begins to share details of her “dress over the head party girl” past. Elliot is absolutely vibing on her. Rita gets uncomfortable and suggests they call it a night.

Dexter finishes prepping the bathroom with the plastic sheeting and breaks into Arthur’s room to set the kill in motion. But Arthur isn’t in the room! It’s 4:45 in the morning, and he’s not in his room. Dexter runs out to the parking lot and sees that Arthur’s van is still in the parking lot. He’s on the move on foot, with his tools. Dexter heads over to the Four Walls build and witnesses Arthur standing at the edge of an upper roof; he spills his sister’s ashes over the side, clearly preparing to jump to his death. Dexter grabs him as he plunges over the side, holding him by one arm. “This isn’t how you die,” says Dexter. He starts to let go of him when other volunteers help hoist Arthur back to safety. This is his solution to remorse – suicide. That’s why he could unburden himself. He knew this was next. Will it be my only solution someday?

Arthur says: “I thought God sent you so I could save you. But God had another plan. He sent you to save me.” Not exactly.

Back at Miami Metro, Debra updates Batista, LaGuerta, and Quinn about the discovery that it couldn’t have been Trinity who shot her and killed Lundy. LaGuerta tells her this finding removes the conflict of interest, and that she is restored to the case as lead.

Back on the road to return to Miami, Dexter muses, I’ve killed an innocent man and I’ve saved a guilty one. I won’t make that mistake again. Is that the purpose of remorse, to prevent you from repeating mistakes?

Dexter admits he’s concerned about Arthur. They agree to treat the events of the weekend as an accident. They come upon one of the DNA swabbing roadblocks. Dexter shares with Arthur that he heard on the radio that the police are looking for a serial killer and they have his DNA. Arthur pulls a U-turn to take the “scenic route.”

A changed man at peace with himself. Maybe only monsters feel no regret. If erring is human, than remorse must be too. Wait – does that make me human? Huh!

Close calls/slip-ups:* Using a recent crime scene he had not been to could be considered.

Episode:"Dex, Lies & Videotape" Victim Name:Ken Olson Age/Occupation:33/unemployed Where/how Dexter stalks victim: He was a suspect in a assault on John Henry. Dexter breaks into his house to find evidence and Olsen comes in so Dexter gets him in a choke hold and gets him to confess to two killings so he chokes him out.

However, he also killed people who didn't deserve to die, and to satisfy is own urges. He was also trying to be like the Bay Harbor Butcher.

Dexter's kill methods and rituals: He covers the train car Olsen tried to kill John Henry in with plastic. Dexter, points out that that is how a kill room should look like. they talk and Dexter uses a cleaver to kill him. Dexter who is "recovering" from his murderous urges, does not take a blood sample from Olsen. Also Dexter comes to the conclusion that he doesn't know who he is. Victim's last words: "I knew you weren't going to kill me." Quite ironic. Dexter's last words to victim: "No I'm gonna kill you I have to, I just don't need to... It's very empowering." Location of killing: A train car Ken had tried to kill John Henry in. Close calls/slip-ups: It wasn't a slip up but Dexter left the body, in pieces, in a garbage bag for the police to find. He did this as an example for the other people who try to take the law into their own hands. He also left it at a recent crime scene he had worked a day or two before, which was smart it a way, because any foot prints or evidence of him found could be attributed to his working of the earlier crime scene.
Episode: "Morning Comes" Victim name:Santos Jimenez Age/Occupation: Old/bartender Where/how Dexter stalks victim: Dexter goes to Jimenez’s bar to tell him his feelings (Lila’s idea) about him murdering his mother and when that does not work he precedes to kick his A.

Doakes, Former Boyfriend Dexter's kill methods and rituals:Dexter does not use his traditional rituals, as he does not want this killing linked to anything with the "Bay Harbor Butcher", and also he's in Paris which obviously means he doesn't have the disposal resources he does back home.

Close calls/slip-ups: Dexter "took care" of Ethan just one day after Miguel shared with him the frustration he felt over letting this guy get away. Once Miguel got the news that Ethan went missing, he immediately sensed Dexter was responsible (especially since the Coast Guard couldn't find Dex where he said he'd be). In a way, Miguel had set this up, and Dexter came through for him to finish a job he couldn't legally do himself. Dexter's overzealousness could not be hidden from Miguel.

ABOUT THE COMPOSERS:

Main Title Composer, Rolfe Kent:
Born in St. Albans, Hertforshire, UK into a non musical family, Kent instinctively knew at age 12 that he wanted to be a film composer, although his early musical training was brief and not so formal. Citing Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia and Morricone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as inspirations, Kent took the advise of a early music teacher to avoid rigid course work that would dampen his enthusiasm for music. He followed an entirely different path and, taking a counterpoint to what is often cited as culture mired in cynicism, profited from his early course work in theology to relate it to music. After enrolling in psychology studies at the University of Leeds Yorkshire, Kent's musical career was casually begun at a dance club when the director of a musical revue offered him a chance to "do" the music.

His jump start was his composition for a stage musical "Gross" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a springboard for authors, composers and performers. In the confines of his musically busy studio, one can immediately see why his musical personality is as distinct as his own. Constantly on the go, adventurous and curious, Kent has developed a style that is not only distinct, but indicative of his aversion-to-the-anticipated score in tone, texture and rhythm. The walls are lined with many familiar and many more unfamiliar instruments, gingerly handled and gleefully demonstrated for their sonic qualities. Among his collection are the African percussion instrument, the angklung, the shawm, first used in military maneuvers as a psychological weapon, the melodica, used to light, soothing effect in Kent's jazz-infused score for his Golden Globe-nominated Sideways, and an instrument he discovered and cannot name that sounds like the world's beaches at their most romantic high tide....combined.

At first blush, Kent takes his initial cue from the film's director and infuses it with his own voice, striving to make the difference between looking at a film and being absorbed by it. For a composer who has such a unique musical personality, particularly when scoring for men, Reign Over Me shows a softer side of being 'Rolfed'.

Kent's critically acclaimed score for Reign Over Me follows the delicate nature of Adam Sandler's relationship with an old school friend. Don Cheadle, the pain, loss, and progress of someone whose life has been turned upside down and Cheadle's somewhat inside out. Kent also added three jazz covers to the character themes.The Hunting Party, his forth for Richard Shepard, fuses dark humor, absurdity, drama and suspense with somewhat exotic gypsy themes and instruments.

In addition to Shepard, Rolfe Kent has the distinction of attracting and sustaining relationships with the directors as popular and diverse as Alexander Payne and Mark Waters, with whom he is collaborating on a 5th film, fall 2008 release, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Also in the 2008 pipeline are The Lucky Ones and a teen musical, 17 Again. (taken from Rolfekent.com Website. Movie links courtesy of IMDB.com. Instrument links courtesy of Wikipedia.org)

Series Composer, Daniel Licht:
Upon Graduating from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, where he studied composition, jazz , and world music, Daniel Licht moved to New York City and established himself as a musical artist in the Lower East Side creative music scene. Using New York as a base he traveled to Germany, Holland, and Northern Europe performing and composing music for theatre and dance companies. His studies took him the other direction around the globe traveling to Japan, and particularly Indonesia where he studied the music of the gamelan orchestra on the islands of Java and Bali. In New York City he could be seen playing jazz with Don Cherry, Jaki Byard, and David Amram or performing new music for the gamelan orchestra (indonesian traditional instruments) with Barbara Benary’s group “Gamelan: Son of Lion”.

Daniel Licht also wasted no time in establishing himself as one of New York’s hottest and most eclectic advertising composers, scoring for such unlikely clients as Mercedes Benz, Sony, and A.T.&T. Licht’s eclectic musical tastes and knack for delivering the appropriate cue made his transition to film scoring inevitable. At the prodding of his friend and ex-classmate Christopher Young, he closed up shop and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in scoring films.

While working with Christopher, performing, programming and leading the synthesizer sessions, Daniel embarked on his own film scoring career commencing with the independent feature Atrapados, directed by Mathew Patrick. Several low budget features followed, as did the Propaganda Film series Inside Out pairing him with such innovative directors as Lizzie Borden, Jeffrey Freidman and Nigel Dick. This first increasingly busy period culminated in the feature film Children of the Night, a project that marked a career watershed for Licht, providing him with his first soundtrack CD release and earning well deserved notices in the music press.

A series of dark films followed including the first film released by the Dimension Films, Children of the Corn II. This became the second of his scores released by Bay Cities Records and it featured an array of exotic instruments – flutes from India, the Chinese Pipa lute – revealing the wealth of diverse influences accrued during Licht’s education. Many of his scores at this time got soundtrack releases based on the quality of his music and he became known for bringing class and new sounds to what some may have seen as throwaway projects. Notably he became the pick of Clive Barker, England’s master of the macabre, for the third in the Hellraiser Series Bloodline (Dimension Films - Soundtrack on Silva). For one of Mr. Barker’s best Pinhead chronicles, he delivered a score using full orchestra, choir, Tibetan trombones, and chanting monks. Dan’s next excursion into the realm of sonic disquiet was Stephen King’s Thinner, as directed by Tom Holland, followed closely by Morgan Creek’s Bad Moon.

Through his determination and interesting approaches to film scores he started to get noticed by what might be considered a more artistic crowd. He drew on his knowledge of jazz to deliver to the iconoclast director Alex Cox the avant-lounge score of The Winner (Artisan Films- soundtrack on Rycodisc). Leon Ichaso, an Indy favorite chose him for many of his films. Zooman, adapted from an off-Broadway play set the sounds of turntables and hip-hop against a solo trumpet in a lush orchestral bed. For Execution of Justice a film about the assassination of Mayor George Moscone and gay rights activist Harvey Milk, Licht brought in Irish musicians and singers to add that special flavor to the score. On the tele-movie Brave New World for NBC, he got the chance to score an adaptation of a favorite book of his. Aside from composing a score that was a blend electronica and exotica he held the unique honor of co-writing a song with the Aldous Huxley (albeit posthumously). A stanza taken from the book was extended by Licht into a thirty-two bar song and performed by the film’s star and Broadway darling Peter Gallagher.

Daniel was hired by Artisan Films and sent to London to help the hugely popular underground band Primal Scream score the film Permanent Midnight. Due to legal wrangling the Primals fell out but to his pleasure he was picked by Artisan and Ben Stiller to provide an edgy techno score for the film. He has also scored the first bio-pic about Jimi Hendrix and has scored the film Splendor, a film from Sundance favorite Gregg Araki – for which Dan enjoys the distinction of being the first composer Araki has ever allowed to score one of his films.
