- Franklin Mott: You have a text message. Bitch, where are you? You said no boyfriends. Who is he? Who's Lafayette?
- [He rushes across the room and chokes Tara]
- Franklin Mott: I'll rip your throat out!
- Tara Thornton: [Struggling to breathe] He's my cousin and he's gay.
- [He lets go of Tara and then smiles happily]
- Franklin Mott: Well how do I get rid of him? How 'bout um, I'm busy bitch. No bitch. You are bitch. Too many bitches. Hooker? In his other messages he calls you hooker. Hookah. Not hookah. That's a water pipe
- Tara Thornton: Tell him I'm okay. Say trust me motherfucker.
- Franklin Mott: Trust me motherfucker. Brilliant. Hey Tara, watch how fast I type motherfucker.
- [His thumb moves with incredible speed on the keypad]
- Franklin Mott: It's cool right?
- Tara Thornton: Yeah. Amazing.
- Franklin Mott: I'll delete it so you can watch again.
- [Again he types it extremely fast]
- Franklin Mott: Hook, look at me.
- [He types something else]
- Franklin Mott: Love you.
- Terry Bellefleur: I'm moving in with Arlene Fowler.
- Sam Merlotte: Ha. Congratulations. You're cracking my ribs, buddy. Hey, hey. Hey, now, it's gonna be okay. I mean, sure, it's scary. She's a little crazy, but so are... Is everybody, you know? Don't worry.
- Terry Bellefleur: I ain't worried. I've never been so not worried. This is what normal people do, Sam. They fall in love. They make each other laugh. And they move in together. They raise kids. They fight over money. They get old and fat together, and it's normal. And it's happening to me. I can't believe it.
- Sam Merlotte: Well, I can. Nobody deserves it more.
- Arlene Fowler: [Comes out] Baby? I don't feel too good today, okay? I ain't cleaned nothing, I ain't cleared nothing out.
- [Leaves]
- Terry Bellefleur: I'm the luckiest man in the world.
- Ulfrik: [in Old Norse] You can't spend your life between a woman's legs.
- Eric Northman: [in Old Norse] I can try.
- Lorena: [to Tara about Bill] You know him?
- Tara Thornton: I thought I did.
- Bill Compton: [to Russell] Why is she here?
- Russell Edgington: [to Franklin] Why is she here?
- Franklin Mott: She wants to be with me.
- Talbot: Hence the restraints.
- Franklin Mott: She's mine!
- Lorena: Relax. Nobody wants her.
- Russell Edgington: As always the deposit will go to your trust account.
- Franklin Mott: I want cash.
- Russell Edgington: The last time you had any real money, you ended up at the slots in Biloxi, slaughtering a church group of elderly women.
- Franklin Mott: They wouldn't let me have a turn!
- Russell Edgington: Why are you dragging another girl around? So sloppy! I'm tired of cleaning up after you!
- Franklin Mott: This one is spectacularly different.
- Russell Edgington: [considering] Hmm.
- Franklin Mott: She's a disaster! We could be twins. The attraction is eeeelectric.
- Russell Edgington: Franklin, you're a huge freak, but I like your work.
- Franklin Mott: What's wrong? Who made you cry? I'll kill him.
- Tara Thornton: Nobody. It's only I'm hungry and they brought me this. And I can't eat day-lillies.
- [Franklin picks up the plate and throws it at a guard]
- Franklin Mott: Tell Talbot we don't want anymore fucking flowers! And don't come back! She wants to be with me!
- Ulfrik: [Dying] You are king.
- Eric Northman: No. I won't allow it. Help!
- [the soldiers are dead]
- Ulfrik: You know what to do.
- Eric Northman: Yes
- Ulfrik: Vengeance...
- [Dies]
- Eric Northman: Vengeance.
- Tara Thornton: We need to talk.
- Franklin Mott: Don't say that, women say that, everything goes black and I wake up surrounded by body parts.
- Talbot: [Smells Tara] Mm, spicy. Who's a pretty girl? Huh? You're a pretty girl. You're pretty. Yes, you are.
- Franklin Mott: Piss off.
- Talbot: I know it's not too good to be all matchy-matchy. But you and your dusky little blood beast are totally at odds with my decor.
- Franklin Mott: Nobody cares what you think about anything.
- Tara Thornton: [scared to Talbot] I'm awful sorry.
- Franklin Mott: [to Tara] No, you're not!
- Talbot: Good girl.
- Franklin Mott: Just ignore him. He's just the cleaning lady.
- Russell Edgington: [looking through the file] Bill Compton is lyin' to me.
- Franklin Mott: Yes, sir.
- Russell Edgington: Who keeps a dossier on his human? Why would he care about her family tree? Sophie-Anne's overstated perfume is all over this.
- Franklin Mott: That's what I thought.
- Russell Edgington: [about Sookie] She's already escaped me one, this barmaid.
- Franklin Mott: Send a wolf. What do you expect?
- Lorena: I'll let you play your little game of hard to get. You're gonna be that mh sweeter when you're mine again.
- Bill Compton: You know, Russell was right. You're not very smart. You played yourself into a corner, you tiresome cow.
- Russell Edgington: Mr. Compton has accepted a position in my court and therefore keeps nothing from me.
- Eric Northman: [Looks at Bill] Oh... You're here of your own accord. Which means...
- Bill Compton: Sookie is no longer mine.
- Eric Northman: Huh.
- Russell Edgington: A king in front of them, a queen behind them, and they're talking about a human girl.
- Talbot: Men.
- Deputy Kevin Ellis: What you doing here?
- Jason Stackhouse: What am I doing? I'm here to work.
- Deputy Kenya Jones: Really?
- Jason Stackhouse: Mm-HM. Chomping at the bit. Point me at the crime scene and let's go get her.
- Deputy Kenya Jones: [Calls] Acting Sheriff Andy Bellefleur, would you come out here, please?
- Jason Stackhouse: Morning, boss. I'm ready for my first day.
- Deputy Kevin Ellis: [Cut to Andy clearing Jason a desk] I guess this means you find my performance inadequate.
- Sookie Stackhouse: What happened back there? Why were they all shifting? You almost shifted!
- Alcide Herveaux: [Driving erratically] Couldn't help it. When that energy starts rolling, it takes you over. We're lucky we got out of there alive. fuck!
- Sookie Stackhouse: I know it was terrible...
- Alcide Herveaux: You don't know anything.
- Sookie Stackhouse: If you don't slow down, you're gonna kill us. And I am not gonna die because of your shitty girlfriend and a Mississippi pothole!
- [Alcide slows]
- Sam Merlotte: Happy for you, Arlene.
- Arlene Fowler: Thank you, Sam. Oh, God. I never thought it would happen again. And again. And again. And that other time too
- Alcide Herveaux: This is Were business. It's against all our laws to tell you anything.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I've been listening to dark, private thoughts since I was a little girl. Keeping secrets is how I survive, Alcide.
- Colonel John Flood: Edgington is ancient. He's had a pack of Weres serving him for centuries all over the world. Now he's on our doorstep. We gonna be smart. Let him do what he wants to do until he goes away.
- Alcide Herveaux: If he's part of our history, you should have told us about him.
- Colonel John Flood: I am saving us from *extinction*.
- Alcide Herveaux: I'd rather be extinct than slave to a dead man.
- Crystal Norris: I don't think you are a cop.
- Jason Stackhouse: Are you resisting me? Because if you are please observe the official police vehicle where I came out of.
- Crystal Norris: Where's your badge? Where's your gun? Where's your shirt?
- Eric Northman: Ooh... And what is this?
- Talbot: Japanese vampire erotica from the 16th century. Exquisite detail.
- Eric Northman: You learn any tricks?
- Talbot: Eric, you know as well as I there's nothing new except someone new.
- Franklin Mott: [Franklin is crying after Tara tried to escape] Why? Tara? Why?
- Tara Thornton: I-I was afraid.
- Franklin Mott: Of me? You were afraid of me? That's insane!
- Tara Thornton: But you tied me up!
- Franklin Mott: To keep you safe. Oh my god what other reason could there be?
- [Franklin begins sobbing hysterically]
- Franklin Mott: You have no idea how much you've hurt me. I feel like I've been staked.
- Tara Thornton: I'm sorry Franklin. It's my fault. My head is all confused. Can you forgive me? It's not you I'm afraid of. It's this place. All the other vampires. They're the ones who scare me.
- Franklin Mott: I'll never let them touch you. It's okay. They don't exist. There's only you.
- Talbot: [to Russell about Franklin] Why is he here?
- Franklin Mott: [to Russell] Because I have a present for you, sir.
- Talbot: You're not supposed to bring work home.
- Franklin Mott: Please.
- Talbot: You're not supposed to bring work home.
- Russell Edgington: Darling
- [Points to himself]
- Russell Edgington: King.
- Eric Northman: I humbly request permission to hunt your territory for the vampire missing from my area.
- Russell Edgington: I appreciate your courtesy, Eric. It's very old-world.
- Talbot: Nobody has manners anymore. It was all so beautiful once.
- Russell Edgington: Your fugitive, what's his name again?
- Russell Edgington: Bill Compton. I'm responsible for him, and, uh, I'm ashamed to admit it, but he's wanted for selling vampire blood.
- Russell Edgington: Oh, no, no. That's heinous. Are you sure?
- [Eric nods]
- Russell Edgington: Let's ask him.
- Talbot: [Bill walks in] Voilà. He's not missing, and he's way too square to deal V.
- Tara Thornton: Franklin, I'm into you. I mean really into you.
- Franklin Mott: [bashfully] Tara. Oh Tara
