Summary

 * “Living the Dream”

Dexter has prepared a kill room in Del Rubio's Boxing Arena and he is waiting outside Tito’s Bar to capture Benito Gomez. However, Dexter is so tired (from staying up with his new baby that he falls asleep in his car. He's awakened by a sheriff’s deputy with a flashlight, who assumes that Dexter is drunk.

"Deputy: “Tell me you got a reason for sleeping alone in your car outside a bar other than you're drunk.” Dexter: “I'm tired.” Deputy: “License and registration, please.” Dexter: “Sorry about this, officer. This is not what it looks like.” Deputy: (looking at his info) “You're with homicide?” Dexter: “Yes, sir.” Deputy: “Then you ought to know better. Get out of the car, please. You know your ABCs?” Dexter: “Of course I do.” Deputy: “Give me 'em backwards.” Dexter: “Uh...Z, Y, X, W... V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, L, K...” Deputy: “Clearly you're not drunk. Yet.”"

While Dexter is being delayed by the deputy, Benny exits the bar and drives away. Damn it, Benny, Dexter thought, I can't go chasing after you with a cop up my ass.

The deputy looks inside Dexter’s car and notices a car seat and toys.

"Deputy: “You got more important places to be, Mr. Morgan.” Dexter: [Sighs] “Tell me about it.”"

Later, Dexter abducts Benny from his trailer park, and kills him at the boxing arena. On his way home, he falls asleep at the wheel and crashes his car.
