81 " How could I be thinking such absurdities? "
― Jeff Lindsay , Dearly Devoted Dexter (Dexter, #2)
82 " His hair had not grown back in the last hour, but he had at least changed out of the orange coverall and into a white terry-cloth robe and he was lying there in the middle of the bed shaved, shaking, and sweating heavily with a half-empty bottle of Skyy Vodka lying beside him. Deborah didn't even slow down at the door. She charged right over to the bed and sat beside him, taking his only hand in her only hand. Love among the ruins. "
83 " The gods of the forest have smiled upon us,” I said. “Cream-filled or raspberry jelly? "
84 " Era consolador saber que hasta Doakes necesitaba dormir de vez en cuando. O tal vez había pensado que alguien que acababa de comprometerse merecía un poco de intimidad. Como yo le conocía bien, esto no era probable. Era más probable que le hubieran elegido Papa y hubiera tenido que volar al Vaticano. "
85 " Harry had molded him into a man who only killed the killers; "
86 " Dexter the no-bloodhound, who hid behind a human-seeming face and tracked down the truly naughty serial killers who killed without code. "
87 " He had taught me how to find these special playmates, how to be sure they deserved a social call from me and my Dark Passenger. And even better, he taught me how to get away with it, as only a cop could teach. "
88 " The idea was intoxicating, and I believe I actually swayed a little as I tasted it. "
89 " Every now and then I feel like I am only receiving one track of a stereo recording, and this was one such time. I had no idea what—well, to be honest, I didn't even have an idea what to have an idea about. "
90 " Por lo visto, el sargento Doakes había olvidado que debía seguirme, porque me ganó la carrera hasta la furgoneta por unos buenos veinte metros. "
91 " We even had dessert, which seemed to me to be pushing the distract-them-with-food ploy a little far, particularly since neither Deborah nor I was at all distracted. But it was quite good food, so it would have been barbaric of me to complain. Of course, Deborah had worked very hard her whole life to become barbaric, so when the waiter placed an enormous chocolate thing in front of Chutsky, who turned to Debs with two forks and said, “Well . . .” she took the opportunity to fling a spoon into the center of the table. "
92 " I went to the refrigerator for a lite beer and discovered they were all gone. And at some later point I was sitting on the couch again. The television was on and I was trying to figure out what the actors were saying and why an invisible crowd thought it was the most hilarious dialogue of all time. "
93 " IT'S THAT MOON AGAIN, SLUNG SO FAT AND LOW IN THE tropical night, calling out across a curdled sky and into the quivering ears of that dear old voice in the shadows, the Dark Passenger, nestled snug in the backseat of the Dodge K-car of Dexter's hypothetical soul. "
94 " It is always nice to see the synapses clicking in a way that lets you know your opinion of yourself is sometimes justified. "
95 " IT'S THAT MOON AGAIN, SLUNG SO FAT AND LOW IN THE tropical night, calling out across a curdled sky and into the quivering ears of that dear old voice in the shadows, the Dark Passenger, nestled snug in the backseat of the Dodge K-car of Dexter's hypothetical soul. That rascal moon, that loudmouthed leering Lucifer, calling down across the empty sky to the dark hearts of the night monsters below, calling them away to their joyful playgrounds. "
96 " And a man who discovers his pants are on fire tends to have very little time to worry about somebody else's box of matches. "
97 " THERE ARE MANY ASPECTS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE that I will never understand, and I don’t just mean intellectually. I mean that I lack the ability to empathize, as well as the capacity to feel emotion. "
98 " However, there is one almost overwhelmingly common human experience I feel powerfully, and that is temptation. "
99 " teeth. I had become a perfect fake human, saying the stupid and pointless things that humans say to each other all day long. "
