Kindle Notes & Highlights
If I rode my bicycle out Old Cutler Road, somewhere along the way I would see the maroon Taurus parked under a banyan tree.
HE HAS A BIKE ???
surprisingly few details in Sergeant Doakes's file. The few that I found left me gasping for breath: Doakes had a first name! It was Albert—had anyone ever really called him that? Unthinkable. I had assumed his name was Sergeant. And he had been born, too—in Waycross, Georgia.
In the show Doake's first name was James 😂
Apparently Switzerland and the Cayman Islands were no longer à la mode, and if one wished for discreet banking in the Spanish-speaking world, Guatemala was all the rage.
why is he so sassy about such random things
Each slide contained a single drop of blood—very well-dried blood, of course. I wouldn't have the nasty stuff in my home otherwise. Forty tiny windows into my shadow other self. One drop from each of my small adventures.
at least he has class ? thanks for being a clean weirdo dexy
So it's you, Dex.” “It's me doing what?” I asked, and I admit that I was still feeling some righteous indignation. “Just walk by the house one time, around the cul-de-sac and back. Keep your eyes and ears open, but don't be too obvious.”
Delicate dimpled dexter haha
There was nothing in the refrigerator remotely worth eating, unless you were a feral dog. Very disappointing: Dexter is a healthy boy with a high metabolism, and facing what was sure to be a difficult day on an empty stomach was not a happy thought. I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast? Ah, well. Dauntless Dexter would make the sacrifice once again. Pure nobility of spirit, and I could expect no thanks, but one does what one must.
What is it with him and food omg? I mean I get it obvi but like aren't you a psycopathic serial killer too ??
“Human beings need sleep, Debs,” I said. “And so do I.”
cuz you're an open ai 💀
they were, after all, very nice New Balance shoes.
Oxymoron much?
“The wallet was right there by the body,” Officer Snyder was saying. “Got a Virginia driver's license in the name of Daniel Chester Burdett.”
VIRGINIA MENTIONED AGAIN WOOHOO
“Nicky is a creep,” Astor whispered. “He wanted me to pull down my pants so he could see.” Cody stirred his frozen yogurt into a frozen pudding.
AHHHHHHHNOOOOOO
“I'm not very good at feeling things, Debs,” I said. “And I really don't know at all about this marriage thing. But I don't much like it when you're unhappy.”
Aw a confession <3
I was engaged and still didn't get it. And I never would, either, which I usually regard as a blessing. I have always felt that it was preferable to think with my brain, rather than with certain other wrinkled parts located slightly south. I mean, seriously, don't people ever see themselves, staggering around drooling and mooning, all weepy-eyed and weak-kneed and rendered completely idiotic over something even animals have enough sense to finish quickly so they can get on with more sensible pursuits, like finding fresh meat?
Love is gross then ?
making the belt very floppy and loose. I braced my feet and pulled Deborah through the belt and toward the door.
(hes trying to remove the seatbelt cuz they were in a car crash) He doesnt carry a knife? In the show he always had one at crime scenes n stuff
So I dropped down beside her, slung her facedown over my knee, and forced out as much water as I could. Then I rolled her onto her back, cleared a finger-load of mud from her mouth, and began to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
YAAAY HE ACTUALLY PROVIDES MEDICAL ATTENTION WOOHOO
“Slick motherfucker,” he said. “Yes, I am,” I admitted. “But I'm right, too.”
Dex is so mild mannered and normal haha. In the show he is actually just very creepy.
“Yeah. And if Doakes gets Danco, we get Kyle back. If Danco gets Doakes, you're off the hook. Real slick, Dexter. You win either way.” “That had never occurred to me,” I lied.
Bahaha he REALLY hates doakes omg
selected a lime green Hawaiian shirt covered with red electric guitars and pink hot rods. Simple but elegant. A pair of khaki pants and some running shoes, and I was ready for the ball.
Eww that is a HORRIFYING outfit whyyy
Since Vince was largely synthetic, he could be somewhat unpredictable in social situations, as shown by his bizarre duels of sexual innuendo with my sister.
In the show thats literally his whole schtick
dirty movies
??? Silence of the lambs? Dexter on Showtime??
Most of the territory between Miami and Naples is Everglades, swamp broken up by small patches of semidry land. It was filled with snakes, alligators, and Indian casinos, which did not seem at all like the kind of place to relax and enjoy a peaceful dismemberment.
Rude
Perhaps Dexter's dutiful but uninspired brain pictured him as Sherlock Holmes, able to examine the wheel ruts and deduce that a left-handed hunchback with red hair and a limp had gone down the road
He literally does that in the showww. literally at EVERY crime scene he describes what happens by just looking 💀. and here they can just call it out ?? I want my money back frankly
buzzes from our insect friends, and a mournful sort of shriek that I very much hoped was only some kind of owl; a small one, please.
Wimp. Snakes dont kill people lmao
I cut the tape
WIth what? Did you bring a knife sir?
I felt the long day rolling over me; I was tired, my neck muscles felt stiff, and I hadn't gotten to kill anything. I felt very cranky, and I wanted to go home and go to bed.
like any rational murder I suppose
“Do you have anything to drink?” he asked, a rather abrupt change of subject, I thought. “I think there's a bottle of water in the backseat,” I said helpfully. “Drink,” he repeated. “Some vodka, or whiskey.” “I don't generally keep any in the car,” I said. “Fuck,” he said. “Just get me to my hotel.”
Haha
eating a large pizza with anchovies
??? Is that you joe rogan??
few dozen photos of naked babies posed on a white fur rug, pictures that would generally be regarded as “cute” even by people who think Pat Robertson is too liberal.
Who?
also haha politics joke, classic
shopping for a few essentials—a new roll of duct tape, a razor-sharp fillet knife, just the basic necessities.
Where did u shop
I stopped at a steak house for a late lunch. I ate a sixteen-ounce New York strip, well done of course, so there was absolutely no blood.
Weird detail
“Please, Dexter,” she said, knowing full well that I found it very hard to refuse her when she used that word.
"Dexter"?
There were no guarantees that I would come up with anything, but I was committed to trying. I would give it my best effort, poke around at the problem for a few hours and hope that someone might wrap a secret message around a rock and throw it through my window. Perhaps if the rock hit me on the head, it would jar loose some kind of idea.
"im a very good lawyer" -daredevil (spiderman no way home)
So—why not simply use the home of his next victim?
Dex does that a lot lol
looking at the house. It was an awkward angle to watch from
Cuz its great falls huge lol
Soon I would step into my own little boat, towing behind us now, and I would throw off the tow line and head back in the direction the moon had gone, motoring sleepily home to a brand-new life as a soon-to-be-married man.
Smart. towing a boat as a get away I mean. not as being married sociopath 💀
I would bring Cody along and show him all the wonders that unfold in a Night of the Knife. He was far too young now, but he would start small, learn to plan, and move slowly upward. Harry had taught me that, and now I would teach it to Cody. And someday, perhaps he would follow in my shadowy footsteps and become a new Dark Avenger, carrying the Harry Plan forward against a new generation of monsters. Life, as I said, goes on.
This is a good line. God I annotated too much.
