Scenes with Dexter
7 scenes Dexter Dexter Hey! What would you do if I come over there and whooped your ass?
Dexter How long would that take?
About ten seconds.
Dexter I'd wait until you're finished and then I'd continue working on my mud fort.
You mean you'd just let me beat you up?
Dexter I'd try to stop you but I'd probably wouldn't be able to. I'm not very big.
Well, in that case it'll only take five seconds.
My grandmother says you're going to hell. She says you'll suffer external torture from a billion flames, hotter than the center of the sun.
Dexter Hmm. She must be some kind of genius.
What?
Dexter Well, my doctor's really smart - he says he has no idea what happens to people after they die. If your grandmother knows she must be a genius.
She's a clerk at K-Mart.
Dexter 11.
Jesus, you're a midget.
Dexter Well, if you look at the lower limit at what's considered normal for my age - I'm only 4 inches shorter.
Dexter [Traveling down a stream.]
It seems to me that the depth of the water would be the key. Obviously in the middle of the ocean the shark would win and on dry land the lion would win. So, how much water are we talking about?
Two and a half feet.
Dexter ...and how big is the shark?
Eleven feet.
Dexter I still say that the lion would win.
Wrong.
Dexter How can you be sure?
...because I did research on it at Stanford University; shark won easily.
Dexter [Looking for flowers.]
I've been wondering about something. Where do bugs go to the bathroom?
Not on leaves.
Dexter How can you be sure?
...because bugs eat leaves. Not even bugs are stupid enough to shoot on their own food.
Dexter [Drinks and feeling disgusted]
Hmm. Oh. Tastes like crap.
No shit. Don't you know where bugs go the bathroom? [Puts in several sugar cubes and gives back]
Dexter Sweet and crap.
