[Still using the name "Sean", Dexter has returned to see Dr. Meridian as a patient, hoping for clues that Meridian has helped his rich women patients to suicide]

Dexter Morgan:
She was sitting on top of me, basically naked. [He sighs heavily] Asking me to spend the night. And I didn't know what to do.

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
It's okay, Sean. Don't beat yourself up. Your girlfriend really means something to you. I know that.

Dexter Morgan:
Well, if she means something, why did I run away from her?

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
For the same reason that you work so hard to shut everybody else out. 'Cause you're afraid they won't like what they see.

Dexter Morgan:
Yeah, I think you're right. How can I change that?

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
Well, for starters, you accept the fact that we all have a big bad wolf hiding inside of us. The darkness we don't want anyone else to see.

Dexter Morgan:
[sensing a clue] Do you?

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
Of course I do.

Dexter Morgan:
[Dexter puts his fingers close to his mouth, almost as though he wants to bite his nails] Really?

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
[Nodding] Mm-hmm.

Dexter Morgan:
Well, how do you deal with your own wolf?

Dr. Emmett Meridian:
Well, first of all, I accepted that it was there. I made friends with it. And I just let it out for a big meal, once in a while.

Dexter Morgan:
[voiceover] At least three times, that we know about.
