- Lorena Krasiki: I may not be able to make you feel for me. But I will make you feel.
- Bill Compton: You have always so enjoyed making others suffer.
- Lorena Krasiki: And there's nothing wrong with that. Especially after having been made to suffer as I have been.
- Bill Compton: You haven't suffered at the hands of others for a very long time.
- Lorena Krasiki: I am suffering now!
- [She cuts open his chest]
- Bill Compton: Please. Do it quickly.
- [She cuts her finger and places it on his wound mixing their blood together]
- Lorena Krasiki: Even as you face the true death I will be inside you. Not Sookie. Me.
- Bill Compton: I wish I had known you before you were made. Before you turned hard. I would like to have seen you smile with light in your eyes instead of darkness. That, would have been something
- [She starts to cry]
- Lorena Krasiki: I have no choice. William
- Sookie Stackhouse: If you kill him, I will kill you!
- Lorena Krasiki: Oh please, please try - without that sanctimonious little prick Godric to save you, I would just love to rip you open and wear your ribcage as a hat.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Why are you even here? I thought you had other things to deal with.
- Eric Northman: Yeah, I do, and I need to think. So please don't take this the wrong way, but shut up.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Eric, please, I'm begging you - -
- [Eric covers her mouth]
- Eric Northman: Thank you.
- Lafayette Reynolds: Maybe I was wrong about you. Maybe I actually can relate to you.
- Jesus Velasquez: Why would you think that you couldn't?
- Lafayette Reynolds: Does the term "Satan in a Sunday hat" mean anything to you?
- Jesus Velasquez: Bitch, my name is Jesus, bro. I am the polar opposite of Satan.
- Russell Edgington: What are you besides a telepath? And what on Earth makes that light come out of your hands? Oh. Don't make me force it out of you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [Starts crying] I don't know. I never even knew I could do it until recently, and I don't know what I am. Maybe I'm an alien. All I know is it's something big, so if I were you I wouldn't hurt me or anyone I care about.
- Sophie-Anne Leclerq: Go fuck yourself.
- Russell Edgington: Mm.
- Eric Northman: [Attacks Sophie-Anne, pins her to the ground] No, sweetheart. You go fuck yourself. Oh, I am older and stronger than you. I only submitted to you in the past because of respect. But you framed me. So I renounce any and all allegiance to you. I am his now.
- Sophie-Anne Leclerq: I refuse to grant you...
- Eric Northman: I will rip your head off and throw it in the pool. And I will have fun doing it.
- Jessica Hamby: Excuse me, ma'am? You're not hungry anymore. Now, I want you to take all the money you have and leave it on the table...... then head to the ladies', alrighty?
- Bill Compton: You should go to ground.
- Lorena Krasiki: And not be with you when the light flows out of you? I cannot.
- Bill Compton: And what will you do then? Find another man that you deem honorable? So you can turn him into a violent hateful thing like yourself? Destroying whatever it was you loved about him to begin with?
- Lorena Krasiki: Yes. It's all my fault isn't it? You never enjoyed killing those humans, writhing naked in their blood. Making love to me as the light died in their eyes. Oh no. I forced you to do all that.
- Bill Compton: No, you did not.
- Lorena Krasiki: Be a man and admit you liked it.
- Bill Compton: Just as you liked enticing all those starving men with your flesh. Luring them into your maker's clutches so that he could murder them and defile their bodies in unspeakable ways as you watched!
- Lorena Krasiki: I am NOT Istvan!
- Bill Compton: Really? He made you his mirror just as you tried to make me yours. He is the reason that a girl, who once marveled in the beauty of all life, now delights in bringing pain and horror to every moment
- Lorena Krasiki: You never embraced our nature!
- Bill Compton: Your nature! It was never mine! I welcome death because only then will I be truly free of the disease that is you.
- Peach: Aaaaand... what is your vegetable of the day?
- Arlene Fowler: That would be the peas.
- Peach: Hmm. And... how are those prepared?
- Arlene Fowler: Those are dumped out of a can into a big pot and heated up. I mean where do you think you are, lady, Red Lobster?
- Peach: Hey, I am paying good money to eat here. You wanna keep any of that cheap dyed hair, you better stop mouthing off to me.
- Arlene Fowler: [Sarcastically imitating Peach] And I want a freshly cut lemon in my ice tea, not some dried up thing that's been sitting around all day.
- [Her knife slips, and she cuts her finger]
- Arlene Fowler: Dagnabbit, look what I just did!
- [Holds up finger with blood to Jessica]
- Arlene Fowler: . Oh, I got lemon juice on it too.
- [Jessica's fangs appear - Arelene squeals, holds up her forefingers to show a cross to Jessica]
- Arlene Fowler: .
- Jessica Hamby: No, sorry, Arlene, sometimes it just happens.
- Arlene Fowler: Please don't kill me, I'm pregnant. That probably just makes you want to eat me even more.
- [Walks out of the bar area with her finger-cross facing Jessica]
- Arlene Fowler: This is why people hate y'all.
- Jessica Hamby: Well, I just haven eaten in days.
- Sookie Stackhouse: So all that stuff about caring about me, that was just crap?
- Eric Northman: I never said I cared about you. Maybe you dreamt it.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You big phony. Big hat, no cattle.
- Eric Northman: Do you mind? I'm trying to think here.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I thought you said my life was too valuable to throw away.
- Eric Northman: You *are* valuable, that's very clear. I'm just not sure why.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [Attempts mimicking his voice] "Sookie, I'm risking everything to tell you this, because you mean so much to me. You make me feel almost human."
- Eric Northman: [Confronts her, fangs out] You mean *nothing* to me, understand? Nothing. I'm close to getting something I've wanted since I was still human. Do not get in my way.
- Russell Edgington: Tell me what you are.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I'm a waitress.
- Russell Edgington: Yes, and I am Marie of Romania. I'm a very patient man, Miss Stackhouse. One can afford to be when one is immortal. But my patience is not without limits.
- Russell Edgington: It's time for you to answer my questions, Miss Stackhouse.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Fine. I have some questions for you too.
- Russell Edgington: Heh. Oh, honey. There's a fine line between feisty and delusional. You're not really in any position to bargain.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You don't know that.
- Russell Edgington: Oh, now it's getting interesting.
- Sookie Stackhouse: So I'll answer one of your questions and you'll answer one of mine?
- Russell Edgington: [Chuckles] Who goes first?
- Sookie Stackhouse: Are you the king of all vampires?
- Russell Edgington: Heavens no, my dear girl. I am merely the king of Mississippi.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Do you have a crown?
- Russell Edgington: I have several.
- Russell Edgington: My turn. What are you? You're definitely not human.
- Sookie Stackhouse: My parents were human.
- Russell Edgington: How do you know? And how do you know they were your parents, for that matter?
- Eric Northman: How long have you been together?
- Talbot: Uh, just shy of 700 years. Although sometimes it feels like 7 million.
- Russell Edgington: What exactly is your Relationship with Miss Stackhouse?
- Eric Northman: Well, her lover, Bill Compton, is, um... Was a constituent of mine. I'd keep an eye on that because I knew she was of interest to my queen.
- Russell Edgington: So no personal attachments?
- Eric Northman: I do not get attached to humans.
- Russell Edgington: If all the supernatural's would stop squabbling among themselves and unite, we could conquer humans in a matter of days.
- Eric Northman: This is your plan?
- Russell Edgington: I prefer to call it my dream.
- Eric Northman: Well, I like this dream.
- Russell Edgington: Throughout history, I have aligned myself with or destroyed those humans in power, hoping to make a dent in mankind's race to oblivion. What other creature actively destroys its own habitat?
- Eric Northman: Hey, you're preaching to the choir.
- Russell Edgington: I mean, do you remember how the air used to smell? How humans used to smell? How they used to taste?
- Eric Northman: I remember everything.
- Russell Edgington: Preening little fool that he was, Adolf was right about one thing. There is a master race. It's just not the human race.
- Sophie-Anne Leclerq: You killed my guards.
- Russell Edgington: Only a handful. The rest were surprisingly unwilling to die for you and have defected.
- Jesus Velasquez: Eleggua and Chango. These guys are pretty fucking hard-core, dude. What do you offer them?
- Lafayette Reynolds: Huh?
- Jesus Velasquez: Lafayette, man, these guys, they have to be appeased, bro, or else they will fuck you up. Seriously, I sing for Eleggua. I put out shots of tequila for Chango.
- Lafayette Reynolds: He drink 'em?
- Jesus Velasquez: No, smart-ass. He blesses 'em, and then I drink them.
- Lafayette Reynolds: Well, maybe I should put out a couple of shots for him right now.
- Russell Edgington: I want you to accept my proposal of marriage.
- Sophie-Anne Leclerq: I've turned you down countless times. Why would I accept now?
- Russell Edgington: Because in addition to never touching you, I will settle all your debts. Oh, come on. The Magister will eventually determine it was you who was selling our blood.
- Russell Edgington: I've already pinned it on Eric Northman. Is that really all you've got?
- Russell Edgington: Well, uh, ooh, there's the IRS. The American Vampire League will let them put you in prison, make an example of you, assuage the right wing's fears about vampires running Wall Street.
- Sophie-Anne Leclerq: They have no dominion over me. I'm a queen.
- Russell Edgington: Please. I have known some of the finest queens who've ever lived. You, my dear girl, are no queen.
- Arlene Fowler: Where's Lafayette?
- Jessica Hamby: He and that Jesus guy left. Said to tell you to lock up before you leave.
- Arlene Fowler: [Nervous] Okay. But just so you know, this necklace is pure silver, and I take garlic supplements too.
- Jessica Hamby: Arlene, just because my fangs popped out, doesn't mean I'm gonna use 'em... on you.
- Tommy Mickens: [about Sam] He's just looking out for me.
- Melinda Mickens: Yeah? Well, who the hell's looking out for me and for Joe Lee?
- Tommy Mickens: I don't give a shit who's looking out for him
- Melinda Mickens: Listen to me, little boy. You wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. I was ready to end my pregnancy because it would take me off the circuit for too long. It was Joe Lee who said I ought to go ahead and have you, case you turned out to be a shifter like me.
- Tommy Mickens: Wow. What a saint.
- Melinda Mickens: My back's done shot from all the years I spent in the ring. I ain't able to work now. You wanna just leave me to rot in an alley somewhere?
- Tommy Mickens: Course no, Mama.
- Melinda Mickens: I did it till I couldn't do it anymore, and now it's your turn.
- Tommy Mickens: It ain't right.
- Melinda Mickens: The world ain't right, you selfish little shit. Without you, we ain't gonna survive. We can't do it.
- Tommy Mickens: Yeah, but maybe with Sam's help...
- Melinda Mickens: You can't trust Sam. He may be blood, but he ain't family. And he ain't never gonna be. He looks down on us. Thinks he's better than us.
- Tommy Mickens: Yeah, well, maybe he is.
- Arlene Fowler: Sam? I thought you had a no-pet policy on those apartments you rent to us.
- Sam Merlotte: I do.
- Arlene Fowler: Oh, I see. Unless it's your kinfolk? I don't appreciate you letting them have that dog when Coby and Lisa can't have a hamster.
- Sam Merlotte: What dog?
- Arlene Fowler: That mean-ass looking pit bull that your mama and daddy brought out and piled into their van this morning. Like you don't know. I got kids, Sam. I can't be having some killer dog - -
- [Sam runs out]
- Arlene Fowler: ... Damn, everybody's ignoring me today.
