Quotes 

• Sookie Stackhouse : Jess, I feel like we got off to a bad start and it is totally my fault. I never got to hear your side of things, find out what you're like. None of that. Can you forgive me?

  Jessica Hamby : [skeptical]  You really wanna get to know me?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Of course I do. You deserve that and frankly, I'm curious about you. I've just got one huge favor to ask. Give me tonight with my boyfriend and we'll have all night tomorrow to ourselves. Just us girls.

  Jessica Hamby : Sure. I mean I guess I got nothing but time now, right?

  Sookie Stackhouse : [as Jessica leaves]  Good night.

  Bill Compton : Must say I'm impressed. It's almost like you glamoured her.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Did you have anything to do with Uncle Bartlett's death?

  Bill Compton : ...He hurt you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [stunned]  Oh my god. Is it that easy for you to kill? Does human life mean so little, you can just kill on command? Toss someone in the water? I can't have people dyin' every time I confide in you. I never felt more inhuman than when I had to kill Rene. It still haunts me and now you're made me feel like I killed another person. I feel sick... I always thought as different as we are, some how we can still be together. And now I don't know. I don't know anything...

  [almost crying] 

  Sookie Stackhouse : Please says something, Bill.

  [walking away] 

  Bill Compton : [catching her at the door]  Sookie... I cannot and I will not lose you. For all the ways I have dismayed, aggrieved or failed you, I swear I will atone. But I am not sorry. I refuse to apologize for what you have awakened in me. You, you are my miracle, Sookie. For the first time in a hundred and forty years, I felt something I thought had been lost to me forever... I love you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [crying]  God damn it, Bill Compton. I love you.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [to Bill about Jessica]  You killed her?

  Bill Compton : Not entirely. No.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Well you obviously did something to this... this...

  [to Jessica] 

  Sookie Stackhouse : How old are you?

  Jessica Hamby : Seventeen.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Oh my god. Where your parents?

  Jessica Hamby : [to Bill]  Is she always like this?

  Sookie Stackhouse : [to Bill]  So what then? You bit her?

  Bill Compton : Yes.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You drained her?

  Bill Compton : Yes.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Did you have sex with her?

  Bill Compton : No!

  Jessica Hamby : Eww! Gross!

  Bill Compton : Jessica was brought to me as a condition of my punishment. I had to create a vampire as reparation for the one I destroyed to save you.

  Jessica Hamby : [to Sookie]  So this is all your fault?

• Bill Compton : [about Jessica]  We can't turn her out. Not yet. She a very young vampire. At her age, with her impulses, she could be quite dangerous.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Where has she been tonight?

  Bill Compton : Here with me and before that with with Eric and Pam.

  Sookie Stackhouse : So there's no way she could have anything to do with that woman at Merlotte's with her heart missing?

  Bill Compton : No!... probably not.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [baffled]  Two weeks and you never said anything. We've laid in bed for hours talking about my life, your life, the weather, and rules of football. And not once did you mention that you slept with and killed...

  Bill Compton : I did not!

  Sookie Stackhouse : ...a seventeen year old girl.

  Bill Compton : Sookie, for a century and a half, I never turned a human... because I couldn't bare to inflict the suffering I felt when I was turned. The pain of that is not an easy thing to share.

  Sookie Stackhouse : If I'm with you and she's with, then she's with me. And I'm sure as heck sharing in that.

  Bill Compton : If I with held anything, it was only to protect you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : And if she stayed with Eric, I still wouldn't know. Would I? That's not protecting me. That's lying to me. How am I supposed to ever trust you if you keep something like that from me? What else are you keeping from me?

  Bill Compton : ...Nothing.

  Sookie Stackhouse : I can't stay... not tonight.

  Bill Compton : Sookie?

  Sookie Stackhouse : I've shared every dark, horrible corner of my life with you. What makes you think I couldn't handle every bit of yours?

• Sookie Stackhouse : Wish people would stop dying around here.

• Sookie Stackhouse : I always need you.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [frantic, to Andy about the body]  Check for a pulse.

  Detective Andy Bellefleur : Forget it. There ain't no pulse.

  Sam Merlotte : What? Why?

  Detective Andy Bellefleur : [lifting the tarp from the body]  Because there ain't no heart!

• Sam Merlotte : I don't know about you, but I think I've seen enough dead bodies to last me a life time.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [perplexed]  Except this one, I just don't get. With everyone Rene killed, you could see his rage. But this?... Cuttin' out that poor woman's heart? Someone just wanted to see her suffer! Every time I think I know what's what, it turns out... I don't know anything.
