"yeah how can we authenticate you?
you might be an imposter.
tell us something that only an insider would know????"

"Also, in Episode 4(or 5?)...I know Dex was in a bad mood because he hadn't killed in a while, but did he really have to be mean to Rita in the 'No' scene? It was inconsistent, he knows better. The preceding scene, where he asked her and the kids to marry him, was transcendent and quite convincing. He doesn't feel, but he knows how not to be rude. If he was going to have problems being rude in his normal life, it should have been written into the first two seasons.

"

"We have a code here to and unfortunately giving "hints" or "tidbits" are not part of it. My poor young Dexters out there, do I see a knife running across your cheek in the near future? You know what the code is, if anyone goes against it...........well, you know. "

"Unless I have two episodes mixed up, I believe it was tied in to the theme of that episode... Dex was realizing all of a sudden he was losing his freedom - his apartment, his free time,etc. It seems like they wanted to portray his more stubborn\childish side. He was realizing he was being forced to give up certain aspects of his life he hadn't planned on.

Aside from the "no" scene, during the dream sequence when Harry explains he has to give up his things, he says (in a rather whiny voice I thought) 'But they're MINE!". He also stuck to his stubbornness when he said he'll make time for Rita and The Dark Passenger. It all seemed to just build up smoothly to him realizing what an ass he was being to Rita over the pregnancy and marriage. It may have been awkward to watch him and Rita argue, but I feel it was necessary for that to happen for Dex to appreciate having her in his life.

Come to think of it, I believe the proposal and the "no" scene were two separate episodes now from what I remember... the proposal was the one where he sets up Ramon with the fake tipster; the "no" episode was the next one when he was on the cruise and Rita went to the hospital."

"yes we've learned a few things about bumping people off and we don't really have a code as such"

"Jay needs to see this. Maybe he was right!"

"I heard that Miguel was planning to go to Rita's house and kill Sylvia there and plan to make Dexter look like the killer. And that when Miguel was strangling Sylvia from behind as she sat on the couch, Rita was going to jump Miguel from behind, rip his eyeball out with her fingernails, while shouting; "you mother F****r.," teeth clenched. And then Dexter was going to walk in and finish him off, but not before Sylvia did a Lorena Bobbit on him. Is this true? "

"Bad in a good way!"

"Do I see sheets of plastic in your future? There are a few of us here ya know!"

"I think Rita should have more screen time and should not get hurt, or the baby, in any of the plot threads this season, or any season. It the writers want to get her involved in a plot thread where something is happening other than a family matter it would be great but not at the expense of loosing the character or any of the kids."
