Quotes 

• Eric Northman : [chained in silver]  I... I offer myself in exchange for Godric's freedom and the girl's as well.

  Steve Newlin : That's noble, but she's just as culpable as you are. She's a traitor to her race. The human race. She hardly deserves mercy. Maybe we should tie her to you so you could meet the sun together.

  Bill Compton : [charging in]  Sookie!

  Steve Newlin : [holding a gun to Sookie's head]  One more step, vampire and the girl dies.

  Bill Compton : If you shoot her, everyone here will die. Let her go, now!

  Steve Newlin : [to Sookie]  Honestly, what do they see in you?

• Stan : Steve Newlin! You have pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We'll kill you first. Same way we did your father.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Oh god, no.

  Steve Newlin : Murderer!

  Stan : [to the other vamps]  Destroy all of them.

  Godric : [as the vamps swarm the church]  Enough! You came for me, I assume. Underlings?

  Stan : Yes, sheriff.

  Godric : These people have not harmed me. You see we can coexist. Mr. Newlin, I do not wish to create blood shed when none is called for. Help me set an example. If we leave you in peace, will you do the same?

  Steve Newlin : [seething]  I will not negotiate with subhumans! Kill me. Do it. Jesus will protect me.

  Godric : I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him, but I missed it.

  [to the armed congregation] 

  Godric : Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness?

  [met with silence] 

  Godric : That's what I thought. Stand down, everyone. People, go home. It's over now.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Oh, thank god. Bill?

  Bill Compton : It's alright. You're safe now.

• Sookie Stackhouse : I was in that basement for two days. You don't even wanna know what almost happened to me down there. Where were you?

  Bill Compton : Sookie, it's...

  Sookie Stackhouse : 'It's complicated' is not an answer. Every time I've needed you, you've always come runnin'. Even in broad day light. What kept you?

  Bill Compton : [reluctant]  ... I was held.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Held? Like kidnapped? By who? By Eric?

  Eric Northman : [walking up]  Hmmm. I heard my name. I hope you are speaking well of me.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Why should I? You let me walk into a trap.

  Eric Northman : I regret that. If I had known it was a possibility...

  Sookie Stackhouse : You did know! But because it was Godric, you'd risk anything.

  Eric Northman : The bond between a vampire and his maker is stronger than you can imagine. Perhaps one day you'll find out.

• Lorena : [crying]  I don't know how it got this way. I can't help that I still love you. You know I do. But now it has become a constant humiliation.

  Bill Compton : The pain you suffer you have inflicted upon yourself.

  Lorena : When will we see each other again?

  Bill Compton : Never.

  Lorena : We're immortal. Our paths are bound to cross eventually.

• Eric Northman : [as Bill catches his arm]  I don't like being touched.

  Bill Compton : [disgusted]  Oh believe me, I do not like touching you. Your contact with Sookie will cease from this moment on.

  Eric Northman : Oh ,that's hardly your decision.

  Bill Compton : Callin' my maker 'cause you couldn't win Sookie for yourself is feeble and desperate, even for you.

  Eric Northman : [smiling]  Are you picking a fight? I'd like to see you try.

  Bill Compton : She will never be yours and there's nothing you can do. In this you are powerless. Accept it.

• Jason Stackhouse : I need you to forgive me.

  Bill Compton : [confused]  What?

  Jason Stackhouse : You love my sister and there ain't no reason why you shouldn't be able to. All this time, I let my stupid ignorance stand in the way.

  Bill Compton : Thank you. But I am also in your debt for helpin' rescue Sookie.

  Jason Stackhouse : After all I did to fuck everything up, it's the least I could do. I-I'm just sorry it took so long to wake up to it.

  Bill Compton : Well you did, just in time.

• Lorena : [walking up to Sookie]  Hello there. I'm Lorena.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Nice to meet you. I'm Sookie.

  Lorena : Hmmm, yes. You're what all the fuss is about.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Excuse me?

  Lorena : Aren't you a morsel.

  Sookie Stackhouse : I'm sorry. Who are you?

  Lorena : Well, we have a mutual friend.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Bill?

  Lorena : Funny, he never mentioned you. I practically made him what he is today.

  Bill Compton : [entering the room]  Lorena!

  Lorena : Oh, hello darling. I was just getting to know your plaything. You always did like to prey on the innocent.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Bill, is this your maker?

  Bill Compton : She released me years ago. She no longer has any hold over me.

  Lorena : Oh I wouldn't say that. We had two marvelous nights in your hotel room.

  Sookie Stackhouse : What?

  Lorena : Did you know your boyfriend hit me over the head with a fifty-two inch plasma screen television earlier tonight? Everyone always says they're so thin and light. But let me tell you when wielded properly, it's quite a weapon.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [to Bill]  You did?

  Bill Compton : Lorena, you need to leave!

  Lorena : [to Sookie]  I hope he doesn't pull the same shenanigans with you. There's no excuse for domestic violence.

  Bill Compton : What she has failed to mention is that she was holding me prisoner!

  Lorena : [almost laughing]  Cha! We were catchin' up, is all.

• [Jason has just awkwardly hugged Bill] 

  Jason Stackhouse : Was that all right for you?

  Bill Compton : [He is noticeably uncomfortable but still tries to be polite]  It was fine.
