Old Cuban Woman is a character in Season Two of the Showtime series DEXTER.

She bemoans the frequent violence in her neighborhood and asks why the police do nothing about it.

Summary

 * “Waiting to Exhale”

The Miami Metro homicide team is called to the crime scene of Eva Arenas, a woman murdered by machete. Officer Debra Morgan attempts to find a witness and struggles to understand an upset woman speaking in Spanish.

"Old Cuban Woman: “Cada semana, cada noche hay violencia en mi vicindad. ¿Y por que? Porque la policia no hace nada.” Debra: “Please Senora. Mas ‘despacias.’ Please slower.” Old Cuban Woman. “Mas despacio.” [scoffs and walks away]"

A sullen boy, Joey Nunez, sitting on a bike speaks up.

"Joey: “She saying you fucking cops don’t do nothin’.” Debra: “Grandma really talks like that?' Joey: “Not exactly. But you got the point. Right, bitch?” Debra: [to Dexter] “Fucking people don't want our help.”"
