Dividends don't play into call options.

If you sell a covered call and it expires worthless, you'll receive any dividends from the stock because you still own the stock. If it's exercised, the new owner receives them because the stock is hers now.

The money that changes hands when you sell a call is the "premium," and the person who sells the call gets that.
