Dexter, Season 4

Dexter:
Guess you were picturing a different scenario.

Arthur:
I was following my path.

Dexter:
So was I.

Arthur:
God led you to me.

Dexter:
Hardly. [Dexter cuts through Arthur's cheek and puts it on his blood slide. Arthur looks at it.]

Arthur:
Is this who you are?

Dexter:
Ta-da.

Arthur:
Look at you, I never took pride in what I did.

Dexter:
No, you're a very special kind of monster. You destroyed your own family.

Arthur:
I gave them everything!

Dexter:
No, you took everything. Their future, their dignity, their hope. Christine... even killed herself.

Arthur:
[horrified] No!

Dexter:
Because of you.

Arthur:
She was weak!

Dexter:
I can't believe there was a time when I actually thought I could learn something from you.

Arthur:
You think you're better than I am?

Dexter:
No, but I want to be.

Arthur:
You can't control the demon inside of you any more than I can control mine.

Dexter:
Did you ever actually try?

Arthur:
Oh, my God, yes. I prayed to be changed... to be made different.

Dexter:
That's not trying. That's waiting to be stopped.

Arthur:
It worked, didn't it? Case in point.

Dexter:
So what's the alternative, Arthur? Leave? Disappear? Fake my own death and start over again?

Arthur:
No. You'll still be you.

Dexter:
I have a family too, Arthur. And I'm good for them.

Arthur:
You're like a child.

Dexter:
A child with a big knife.

Arthur:
You dream of a heaven you'll never see.

Dexter:
I don't believe in heaven.

Arthur:
Oh, but you do. This isn't your doing, this is God's plan. I accept that now. You have to do the same.

Dexter:
I accept... nothing. Nothing is inevitable.

Arthur:
It's already over. It's already over. [Arthur then looks at his model train station.]] Could you...?
