| "Not all happy families are alike. They are happy, aren't they? Are they normal kids? How can you tell a loving wife from a frightened one? A friendly neighbor, co-worker, sister, son? Are any of them what they seem? Or are they little bombs waiting to explode?" - Dexter, to himself "What kind of a father keeps a coffin in his garage?" - Dexter, to himself about Arthur's coffin. "What kind of a father keeps blood slides in his shed?" - Harry responds him. "Are you the one my mom told me not to talk to?" - Astor, to Masuka in their first meeting. |
