- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] Lumen said I gave her her life back, a reversal of my usual role. Well, the fact is, she gave me mine back too. And I'm left not with what she took from me but with what she brought. Eyes that saw me, finally, for who I really am. And this certainty, that nothing, nothing is set in stone. Not even darkness. While she was here, she made me think for the briefest moment, that I might even have a chance to be human.
- Maura Bennett: [to Harrison] Make a wish. Make a wish.
- Family & Friends: ONE, TWO... Make a wish.
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] But wishes, of course, are for children...
- Family & Friends: THREE!
- Dexter Morgan: Passive blood-pooling. I'm guessing he was probably held down as the knife went in. Died instantly.
- Sgt. Angel Batista: So the killer knew what he was doing?
- Dexter Morgan: [thinking] Sure felt like it at the time.
- Lumen Ann Pierce: We're not the same. I'm so sorry.
- Dexter Morgan: Don't be. Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry it for you. Always. I'll keep it with mine.

- [to Dexter, not knowing - maybe - that's him]
- Det. Debra Morgan: whoever you are, you know that too...
- [Both Dexter and Lumen try to duck, but Debra shoots over their heads]
- Det. Debra Morgan: I said: don't fucking move! Maybe it's true some people deserves to die, but I'm a cop, and I don't make that fucking decision! So I'm gonna call this in! In an hour, this place will be swarming with police!... If I were you I'd be gone by then...
- Astor Bennett: Where is she? Your tenant. Who was staying at the house.
- Dexter Morgan: She left.
- Astor Bennett: I'm sorry. Did you do it? What you wanted to do? You said she needed your help. Did you help her?
- Dexter Morgan: Yeah. I think I did.
- Astor Bennett: And did it work? Did it make you feel better? About what happened to mom?
- Dexter Morgan: [narrating] You can't do one thing to make up for another. That's what Jordan Chase says. But he's wrong, because we do that all the time. That *is* the way the world works. We try to make things right. Even me.
- Jordan Chase: You can't save one thing to make up for another, Dexter. It's just not the way the world works.
- Dexter Morgan: You're right.I will sob myself to sleep if I subsequently learn that
- Lumen Ann Pierce: I'm so sorry.
- Dexter Morgan: Don't be. Uma sugestão arquitetural.
