- Warrior 1: [in old Swedish to a dying Eric, on the funeral pyre] All will be well. Don't be afraid.
- Eric Northman: [weakly] I'm not afraid. I'm pissed off.
- Warrior 2: [hearing rushing noises] Who's there? Show yourself!
- [is promptly killed along with Warrior 1]
- Eric Northman: [seeing a boy with ancient Roman tattoos] Are you Death?
- Godric: I am.
- Eric Northman: You're just a little boy.
- Godric: I'm not.
- Eric Northman: My men?
- Godric: Dead.
- Eric Northman: You swine!
- Godric: I watched you in the battlefield last night. I never saw anyone fight like you.
- Eric Northman: I would fight you now if I could.
- Godric: [almost laughing] I know. It's beautiful.
- Eric Northman: What are you waiting for? Kill me.
- Godric: Could you be a companion of death? Could you walk with me through the world? Through dark? I'll teach you all I know. I'll be your father, your brother, your child.
- Eric Northman: ...What is in it for me?
- Godric: What you love most... life.
- Eric Northman: [considering] ... Life.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [a man walks by] He's glamoured, can't you tell? Listen. His mind's full of fog and disco music. By the way, they can't glamour me. Can they glamor you?
- Barry: No, but I fake it.
- Daphne: [walking through the woods, undressing] You're carrying that secret like a two-ton sack of feed on your back and it doesn't have to be that way.
- Sam Merlotte: Secret? What secret?
- Daphne: [going behind a tree] Fiber!
- Sam Merlotte: I ain't in the mood tonight, little girl... Daphne?
- [picking up her clothes, seeing a fawn]
- Sam Merlotte: Well, hey.
- Daphne: [shifting back] Hey your own self.
- Sam Merlotte: [surprised] Y-you're a...
- Daphne: A shapeshifter and proud of it!
- Sam Merlotte: How'd you... how'd you find out about me?
- Daphne: Last night in the woods, I watched a dog jump in the water and it came up you.
- Barry: Listen, I don't know what little fried corn-on-the-cob town you're from, or what candy-ass vampires you're with, but this is Dallas, baby.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You watch your tone of voice. And don't you call me "baby".
- Bill Compton: [about her menu-ordered blood donor] Jessica, we discussed this.
- Jessica Hamby: All I did was order him off the menu. You didn't say not to order off the menu.
- Bill Compton: I would no more allow you to feed on that young man than to watch pornography on television!
- Jessica Hamby: Porno?
- [Smiles wickedly]
- Bill Compton: Jessica...
- Jessica Hamby: Hey, Sookie, there's dirty movies on TV!
- Barry: Why won't you leave me alone?
- Sookie Stackhouse: Because I've never met another telepath. Have you?
- Barry: No, and don't say that word.
- Sookie Stackhouse: It's what you are. Nobody else knows what it's like to be us. We need to stick together. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
- Barry: Yes it is! My life is shit. I can't do anything normal people do. If I'm not around a bunch of vampires, I can't hardly think straight.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I used to feel exactly the same. Like I had a disability.
- Barry: More like a curse.
- Sookie Stackhouse: But lately since I met my boyfriend, it seems like telepathy can come in handy some times. You can even make a little money.
- Barry: Then you're even crazier than I am.
- Bill Compton: [waking up as she comes back to bed] I dreamed you were gone.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You did?... That's funny, 'cause I was.
- Bill Compton: [chiding] Sookie...
- Sookie Stackhouse: It was only for a few minutes. I had to. Bill, it's the most amazin' thing. I met another telepath and he's not a vampire or very good at it. Oh, it's wonderful knowin' there's somebody besides me.
- Bill Compton: You made him aware of your gift after everything I've said?
- Sookie Stackhouse: Not on purpose. We were in each other's heads before we knew it. I thought you'd be happy for me.
- Bill Compton: The more people know what you do, the harder it is for me to protect you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [about Barry] He can't even admit what he is to himself. He's not gonna do any talkin' about it.
- Bill Compton: You can't be sure.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Yes, I can. I'm good at this. Look, if all we're supposed to do in Dallas is shut up and take orders, I might as well be slingin' beers at Merlotte's. You're the one who told me I was more than a waitress.
- Bill Compton: You are. But...
- Sookie Stackhouse: What?
- Bill Compton: Never mind.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Talk to me. Lean on me. I've leaned on you plenty.
- Bill Compton: Well, here I am responsible for you and Jessica. Yet no decisions are mine. It makes me feel...
- Sookie Stackhouse: Like a human?
- Bill Compton: Like a waitress.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You're walkin' in my shoes and it's givin' you blisters.
- Bill Compton: Eric is strangely intent about all this. It's not like him. I don't trust it.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Don't you worry about Eric. We'll do the job and go home. A deal's a deal.
- Bill Compton: Sookie, you know what he's like. It's not like him to break a contract with a girl.
- Sookie Stackhouse: A woman... he needs me. He won't wanna make me mad.
- Bill Compton: ...I can't lose you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You never will.
- Sam Merlotte: [in his office] Where the fuck have you been?... Couldn't pick up the damn phone?
- Lafayette Reynolds: [trying sincerely] Sorry.
- Sam Merlotte: Well 'sorry''s not good enough. Not only did you leave us high and dry. But there are people here who give a shit about you. We didn't know if you were alive or dead... You know ordinarily, right about now you'd be telling me to fuck off in some colorful and creative way. You wanna talk, do some talkin'.
- Lafayette Reynolds: Sam, all I wanna know is can I have my job back?
- Sam Merlotte: Now I oughta tell you to fuck off. All that pressure in the kitchen just about put Terry back in the V.A. hospital... Of course you can have your job back. Place ain't the same without you.
- Tara Thornton: Did you know MaryAnn wants us all to be roommates here?
- Eggs: No. Cool. I guess that other guy came back from Peru.
- Tara Thornton: No, not cool! Not gonna happen. I just moved in.
- Eggs: Okay, fine. We can go some where else if that's how you feel about it.
- Tara Thornton: That's all you gotta say?
- Eggs: Relax. It's not big deal.
- Tara Thornton: What are you? What are you? Nomads?
- Eggs: We move around a little bit. Nothing wrong with that.
- Tara Thornton: Wait nothing! I didn't know. You coulda told me.
- Eggs: Who cares? What matters is being with the people you love.
- Tara Thornton: Well, other things matter too! Like knowin' the truth about the poeople you love. So while we're on the subject, what exactly is your 'thing' with MaryAnn?
- Eggs: Look, when I was ready to lay down and die she lifted me up. Same as she did you.
- Tara Thornton: Now you follow here where ever she goes?
- Eggs: I'm not her dog if that's what you're trying to say. And why all of a sudden are you so paranoid about MaryAnn?
- Tara Thornton: Because I'm tryin' not to be a fool.
- Eggs: You know what this is about? Your history is so fucked up, you have no clue what family is.
- Tara Thornton: [hurt] That's not fair. I do have a clue.
- Eggs: Who gives a damn about a house. MaryAnn, Carl, and me; we take care of each other. We took care of you. That's what family is, Tara.
- Gabe: [to the recruits, working scaling the chain-link] How are we gonna work on defensive tactics, if we can't even climb a fence?
- Stan: You should have told me Eric hired a fuckin' human, Isabel.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Now wait just a minute.
- Bill Compton: [about Sookie] Respect her!
- Isabel: [to Stan] I couldn't tell you, Stan. You've been off on your own for days.
- Eric Northman: Are you certain Godric was abducted by the Fellowship of the Sun?
- Isabel: No!
- Stan: Yes! They're the only ones with the organization and man-power.
- Isabel: But they're amateurs. It doesn't make any sense. This is Godric we're talking about. Two thousand years old.
- Stan: Old don't make you smart.
- Isabel: Besides there's not proof.
- Sookie Stackhouse: If they've got him, I'll hear it. That's my job.
- Stan: There's not reason to wait. We need to take these fanatics down. Full out attack. Exterminate them like the vermin they are.
- Isabel: [angrily sarcastic] Hmm, vampire hating church annihilated. Wonder who did it? Fucking brilliant!
- Bill Compton: I doubt the king of Texas would approve of the destruction of our international political agenda.
- Stan: Fuck that. The great revelation is the biggest mistake we ever made.
- Isabel: Don't use Godric to make your own little power play.
- Stan: You're completely incompetent!
- Eric Northman: [almost yelling] What's happened to Godric that he surrounds himself with clowns?
- Isabel: We invited you as a courtesy. This is not you territory. You have no voice here.
- Stan: Yeah, sheriff. Why don't you run back on down to Louisiana. We don't need you or your puppets.
- Eric Northman: I'm not going anywhere.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I'm nobody's puppet!
- Stan: I have a plan.
- Isabel: It's not a plan. It's a movie!
- Bill Compton: [about Sookie] You're playin' with her life.
- Eric Northman: It's not game to me.
- Bill Compton: All this for a colleague. For the sheriff of Area 9, why?
- Bill Compton: [about the other vamps] You saw them in the lair tonight. Despicable, vicious, petty creatures.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You're different. You're not like them. No, you're not. You have a heart, whether it beats or not. There wasn't one vampire there who could say the same.
- [Jessica has fed on a human despite orders not to. Bill just chewed her out for it]
- Bill Compton: To your room, please. Tru Blood.
- Jessica Hamby: [Stomps off annoyed] You are going to be *so* sorry when I get an eatin' disorder!
- Sam Merlotte: Where the fuck have you been? Couldn't pick up a damn phone?
- Lafayette Reynolds: Sorry
- Sam Merlotte: Well, sorry's not good enough. Not only did you leave us high and dry but there are people here who give a shit about you. We didn't know if you were alive or dead. Wait, ordinarily, right about now, you'd be telling me to fuck off in some colorful and creative way. Well, you want to talk, do some talking.
- Lafayette Reynolds: Sam all I want to know is, can I have my job back?
- Sam Merlotte: I outta tell *you* to fuck off. All that pressure in the kitchen just about put Terry back in the VA hospital. Yeah, of course you can have your job back. The place ain't the same without you.
- Lafayette Reynolds: Thank you, Sam
- Sam Merlotte: Lafayette. What happened to you?
- Lafayette Reynolds: [walks out the door and closes it behind him]
- Daphne: Hope you're enjoying that Coca-Cola, Arlene.
- Arlene Fowler: Well, thank you, Daphne, I am. Because unlike you, I actually did my closing prep last night.
- Daphne: I'd appreciate it if you gave me a hand, just for today.
- Arlene Fowler: Then you'll never learn. Now, some people around here might let you slide on by, but I'm thinking about your future as a server.
- Daphne: [Rolls her eyes] That's real generous.
- Arlene Fowler: Don't forget to make the iced tea
- Steve Newlin: At first we just focused on the guns, but then we thought, well, hey, what's a wooden arrow?
- Jason Stackhouse: Well, it's an itty-bitty stake.
