Quotes :
Dexter: (voice over) Emptiness wasn't always a problem. I used to cherish it. But now it feels like something to overcome

Deb: Get back in your routine. When you lose someone close, routine can be a ladder that can help you climb back into some kind of normalcy.
Dexter: Where'd you hear that?
Deb: I am capable of independent thought, Dexter. (smiles) Oprah.

(about the bar fight)
Masuka: True warriors are humble men.
Quinn: Oh, please. You got a reason to be humble. You got fucked up running the other way.
Masuka: You're confusing cowardice with a tactical retreat. Hermano, back me up here.
Batista: You backed up just fine on your own.

Notes : At the hospital, when Boyd leaves his bed and searches the drawers, it's possible to see a camera operator through a reflex of a glass door, on Boyd's left.

Allusions : The way it's going, only Mary Poppins would make the cut.
Mary Poppins is a series of children's books written by P.L. Travers. The books revolve around Mary Poppins, a super-nanny who flies in with her umbrella in response to the request of the Banks children and proceeds to put things right with the aid of her rather extraordinary magical powers before flying off again.
