Quotes 

• Sam Merlotte : It would only be a matter of time 'fore you went off on somebody. I don't wanna drive my customers away.

  Tara Thornton : I only go off on stupid people.

  Sam Merlotte : Most of my customers *are* stupid people.

  Tara Thornton : Yeah, but... I could help you keep an eye on Sookie. You see the way she was looking at that vampire? That is just trouble looking for a place to happen.

• Sam Merlotte : How you doing, Sookie?

  Sookie Stackhouse : [annoyed]  I've had better nights.

  Sam Merlotte : Yeah? Anything I can do to improve this one for you?

• Sam Merlotte : [hauling her into his office]  Sookie, you're being a very stupid girl!

  Sookie Stackhouse : Who asked you? I-I can take care of myself.

  Sam Merlotte : [yelling]  I don't think so! Mac could have seriously cut you up last night!

  Sookie Stackhouse : How do you know what Mac would have done?

  Sam Merlotte : Now you're setting up a date with a vampire. What do you have, a death wish?

  Sookie Stackhouse : No I don't have a death wish. I just happen to think that judging an enitre group of people based on the actions of a few individuals within that group is morally wrong!

  Sam Merlotte : Well, I will not let you put yourself or this bar in danger. I won't!

  Sookie Stackhouse : A-am I fired?

  Sam Merlotte : No! But next time you think somebody's being harmed in the parking lot, pick up the phone and call the police. Do not go out there alone like a goddamn vigilante!

• Sookie Stackhouse : [seeing Bill, excited]  Oh, my God! I think Merlotte's just got its first vampire.

  Sam Merlotte : [looking over her shoulder]  I think you're right.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Can you believe it? Right here in Bon Temps.

• Sam Merlotte : [to Sookie about being a vampire & synthetic blood]  You willing to pass up all your favorite foods and spend the rest of your life drinking slim-fast?

• Sam Merlotte : Tara, you know how to tend bar?

  Tara Thornton : No.

  Sam Merlotte : Fake it!

  [handing her his appron and leaving] 

• Sam Merlotte : [seeing her come from the woods]  Sookie! Thank God. You okay?

  Sookie Stackhouse : I'm fine. And for your information, not all vampires can take care of themselves.
