DEXTER:
Soon, you'll be packed into a few
neatly wrapped Hefties and my own
small corner of the world will be a
neater, happier place. A better place.
Dexter lifts a very sharp scalpel and an eye dropper off the
table, leans over Donovan and with the scalpel makes a small
precise little incision on the man's forehead.
Blood trickles out and using the eyedropper, Dexter very
carefully, sucks a few blood droplets up and into the small
tube of glass.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Blood. Sometimes it sets my teeth on
edge.
When he sees the blood, Dexter clearly gets excited -
But after a beat, he controls himself, then very carefully
squeezes the rubber top of the eye dropper over a glass slide
and a few tear drops of blood gently spatter onto the slide,
then he presses a second piece of glass over it, seals the

The fisherman smiles, waves back and Dexter smiles wide as he
navigates his boat out of the bay.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Whatever made me the way I am left me
hollow, empty inside. People fake a
lot of human interactions -- but I
fake it all and I fake it very well.
A couple of speed boats cross dangerously in front of him.
DEXTER (V.O.) (CONT'D)
And that's my plight -- I care about
people as much as I care about lawn

And just then a testosterone injected CIGARETTE BOAT cuts
across his bow causing a large wave to SPLASH over Dexter's
deck and we -

EXT. CAMPGROUNDS - CENTRAL FL - LATE AFTERNOON
It's a beautiful, warm Sunday afternoon in the bucolic woods,
overlooking a small, lazy river.

HARRY (50's), Dexter's foster father -- a diamond in the
rough, tough exterior, but soft at heart -- pulls a flask out
of his pants pocket, slowly unscrews the top, downs a slug of
