[At the morgue, Dexter meets Dr. Pittman. Dexter is not at all impressed by Dr. Pittman's inflated opinion of himself; and Dexter trusts less and less in the doctor's abilities as an observer as the scene goes on]

Dr. Pittman:
I gave Joe a physical once a year, like clockworks, and no history of heart disease, but it happens.

Dexter Morgan:
Mm-hm, it appears so.

Dr. Pittman:
About to send him to the Crematorium when we found you. We thought his son should have his chance to pay his last respects.

Dexter Morgan:
I'm not his son.

Dr. Pittman:
[taking this in the wrong way] An estrangement in a family is a shame, but Death is the great unifier.

[He wheels the corpse out on a gurney. Dexter nods. The doctor pulls the sheet back. Dexter leans down close to look at the corpse's face. Then he goes around to the other side of the body and kneels to examine a tattoo covering the left elbow and much of the arm]

Dexter Morgan:
Oh. It's an interesting tattoo.

Dr. Pittman:
[affectionately] Joe said he'd picked that up in Nam. You can be proud he was a patriot!

Dexter Morgan:
Mm, perhaps. He was also an ex-convict.

Dr. Pittman:
Excuse me?

Dexter Morgan:
It's a prison tattoo.
