"Get the fuck off me or die, Warlow." "Sookie." "I'd be real careful what you say right now 'cause I got a vampire-killing ball of light behind your head and I'm not afraid to use it." "Sookie, you don't understand." "No, you're right." "I don't understand." "I don't understand why vampires feel the need to lie to me, hunt me, to terrorize me in my own home." " I didn't mean to scare you." " Well, too late for that." "You are my intended." "I've wandered this Earth for millennia in misery and solitude waiting for you." " Dreaming only of you." " Fuck you." "It's our destiny to be together." " Fuck destiny." " I love you." "Don't you dare say you love me, you psycho freak." "If you love me so much, why did you kill my parents?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "I killed them." "I killed the faeries." "I" "Bill, I'm sorry." "Please, I'm so sorry." "I couldn't help it." "I tried." "I tried, but I couldn't stop." "It'll be all right." "We'll-- we'll figure it out." "They tasted so fucking good." "No." "You're high." "I feel like I want to have sex or die or die while having sex." "You drank four faeries." "Faerie blood makes vampires high." "I'm a fucking monster." "I deserve to burn for what I did." "On the night that your parents were killed, they were trying to kill you." "I saved you." "Bullshit!" "Bill?" "No, no, no." "Bill, please, don't you go into a coma on me again." "You go to your room and you sleep it off." " You can heal." " Sookie, just let me explain." "No, you're a filthy fucking liar." "Y'all come in here and you say you love me and you want me, but you just want to fuck me and own me and use my fucking blood." "Well, get it through your head," "I'm not yours or anybody's." "None of you know shit about love." "Oh, great." "Now you want to save me, too?" "I thought I was dead to you, Bill Compton." "I didn't come here for you." "I came here for him." "If you're the Bill that's been harassing Sookie, you'd best get out of here before I kill you." "You already have." "As your maker, I command you." "Come with me." "Bill Compton!" "Bill Compton." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "No, no, no." "Hey." "Hey." "Oh, no." "Oh, God, no." "Hey." "Hey." "Vampire Bill." "Come in here and answer for your crimes." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey there, sweetie pie." "You're gonna be okay." "Come on, you're gonna be okay." "Daddy's gonna make you okay." "The vamp cops, they got Pam." " When?" " Just now." "They took her away in one of those fucking paddy wagons." "What the fuck we gonna do?" " All clear." " Go through." "Yeah, go on through." "You sure about this?" "Vampire!" "Freeze, vampers!" "Freeze." "No vampires out after curfew." "Don't make any moves." " All in the name of science, huh?" " Shut up." "Care to explain the scientific value of this?" "Just asking you to reconsider, Truman." "If I have to put my daughter in a camp," "I'm gonna take her there myself." "You don't think I understand, but I do." "The vampires took people I loved from me-- my own sister, Steve." "He had his faults, but they took him, too." "And now they have taken your Willa." "But I had to learn the hard way." "Once they're turned, they're gone." "No." "No." "That's not true." "That can't be true." "You and me, we're just gonna need to move on." "I've been thinking." "Even though your heart is breaking now... maybe it's a sign." "Maybe you and I should think about having a baby." "Sarah," "I can't replace her." "That's my little girl Willa waiting for me in that van down there." "I was in the delivery room when she came out." "I was the first one to hold her." "I was the first one to kiss her." "I was the first one to say her name." "And you can do all that again." "All you have to do is put a ring on my finger first." "I am not having this conversation." "Truman." "We are a team." "And when I came to you to offer my resources, my money, my connections, and my love," " you said nothing would separate us." " I said it, I meant it." " Then do not walk out that door." " But I have to go." "Do not take me for granted." "That is what Steve did and I won't have it." "When a woman comes to you in black lingerie, you unwrap her." " Who are you?" " My name is Bill Compton." "How is it you can command me, Bill Compton?" "Lilith is part of me." "She's guiding me." "I am a prophet in her name." "I drank her blood and now I have her memories." " Of you." " I don't believe you." "As your maker, I command you to resist the urge to kill me." "And to stay right here with me." "Ah!" "You made me into something I despise." "I made you into our salvation." "Hey there, Jason." "Hey there, Sarah." "What you doing out here?" "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by." "Oh." "It's been a while." "Sure has." "You know, we didn't exactly leave things on the best of terms." "All that was from another life." "I have a new calling now." " Oh." " And a new man." "A powerful man." "Well, I guess that's good 'cause Steve turned out to be a gay vampire." "So, what can I do you for?" "I was very much hoping that I could save your soul." "Yeah." "My soul's doing just fine on its own." "Thank you so much." "Is it?" "You know, I used to beat myself up something fierce when I thought about you." "I would say to myself, "Sarah, that Jason Stackhouse did you wrong."" " Hmm." " And then I would pray to the good Lord to wipe all my sinful thoughts about you right out of my head." "But then I realized something." "I failed you." "I was supposed to help you see God's light, but I let my petty broken heart get in the way." "God put a challenge in my path and I ran at the first sign of trouble." "Listen here." "You always seemed like a nice lady behind the crazy and the hate." "But I ain't the same dumb kid you met at the Fellowship." "You know, I've been places, I done things." "And I am a different woman than the girl you used to know." "Yeah?" "But you and me, we got some sort of connection." "And that's why I'm not giving up on you." "I've been with a gay guy and an old guy." "Well, I ain't neither one of those." " Jason Stackhouse." " Yeah?" "I have never felt more holy than when I was with you." "And I truly believe" "God wants me to fuck you." "Oh, God!" "Oh, God." "How's God feeling now?" "Righteous." "This feels pretty damn heterosexual." "Hey there, baby." "I need you to drink this." "It's gonna make you feel better." "Daddy?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Excuse me, miss." "Name's Jenny." "What's yours?" "Alcide Herveaux." "Packmaster, Shreveport." "I don't see why a big bad wolf like you can't find no pussy in a pack he claims he runs, but I sure like the looks of you, so you won't be hearing me complaining none." "50 bucks for the hour and we can do whatever you want." "Except for that shifting shit during sex." "I just" " I can't take it from a wolf unless I am one, too." "No disrespect, Jenny, but that ain't why I'm here." "I'm looking for a shifter." "Late 30s, salt-and-pepper hair." "He's traveling with a light-skinned black woman, early 20s." "They got a little girl with them." "She's one of us." "Now, I lost their scent not too far from here." "If you've seen 'em," "I'd be willing to pay for information like that." "Sorry, Packmaster." "I ain't seen anyone that matches that description." "Excuse me." "I have to work." "How you doing?" "What's it to you?" "This ain't no fag bar." "Name's Herveaux." "Packmaster, Shreveport." " I was wondering if" " Go fuck yourself, Shreveport." "Did I forget to mention that backwoods wolves don't trust wolves from city packs?" "Shreveport's a city?" "It's a matter of perspective." "To some folks, it is." "You mind if I give you some advice?" "I'd rather you didn't." "I understand." "I do." "I wish I could have been a better father for you when you were a little pup." "I wish I could have been someone you'd be proud of." "'Cause I got some wisdom in my years." "If you weren't so hell-bent on being angry at me, you might benefit from it." "What's your advice?" "It's more of a question, really." "Are you doing this 'cause you think it's the right thing to do or are you doing this to impress that piece of ass that's taken over your life?" "I'm my own man." "And I'm my own wolf." "And I'm your packmaster." "That's funny." "I don't remember ever joining your pack." "Why don't you get up, get the fuck out of my life?" "Go on, get the fuck up." "I'm gonna need some cash to get back with." "Big fucking surprise there." "Door secure." "Come on, now." " You, this way." " Find Pam." " Move." " Lock it up." "Wasn't me!" "Jason!" "Jason!" "Coming!" "Coming!" " Hey, Jess." " Invite me in." "Come in." "I know you hate me right now, but I don't know where else to go." "Whoa, whoa, Jess." "I don't hate you." "Just my head has been kind of screwed up." "But I feel better now." "I have done an unspeakable thing." "And I don't know why God doesn't strike me down right now." "Except that maybe God is Bill." "But I don't know." "I don't know anything." " I don't" " Jess." "Jess." " Calm down." " I keep seeing their faces." "And the most messed-up part about it is that while I was eating them," "I got turned on." "You know, like you and me." "But that's the devil, right?" "Isn't it?" "I mean, that is the definition of sin." "I'm not sure I'm following, Jess." " Did you love me?" " What?" "Ever?" "Did you ever love me?" "Sure, yeah." "There were times, hell, yeah." "Definitely love." "It just got so screwed up with Hoyt and everything." "Why?" "Why what?" "What did you love about me?" "I don't know." "Everything, I guess." "Your heart most of all." "What if Bill isn't God?" "What if Bill is the devil?" "What if I've been serving the devil?" "Jess, you haven't been serving the devil." "Oh, my God." "No, no, no." "Don't get close to me." "I can't help myself." "I'll rape you or something and I just-- I just need to be put someplace." "I need to be put someplace where I won't be tempted because you're tempting me." "I'm not tempting you." "Come on." "Well, well, well." "You didn't mention to me that you had a vampire girlfriend before." "Yeah, she's not my-- well, kind of." "I" " I don't know what she is." "Did you just sleep with this lady?" "I know you." "You're that awful lady from TV." "You are Steve Newlin's ex-wife." "I am not Steve Newlin's ex-wife." "I am my own person." "Uh, ladies, let's just" "You're telling me that you have been fornicating with a vampire?" "You better watch it, lady." "I have had a bad fucking night and I do not need to be tested." " You're a demon whore!" " Oh, you take that back!" "Jason has my blood in him." "He couldn't stop wanting me even if he tried." "He was probably thinking about me while he was sexing up on you." "Jessica." ""And these signs shall follow them that believe;" "in my name shall they cast out devils."" "Mark 16:17." "I always hated the fucking Book of Mark." "I rescind your invitation in this house!" "You can't do that." "This is my house." " Jason!" " Freeze, vampire!" " Jessica!" " Stay where you are." "Let's go." "Hey." "Hey!" " Stop that." "You can't take her." " Hey, that's far enough." " Jason." " I'm an officer of the law." "Jason!" " What did you do?" " I called the LAVTF on your vamp slut." "Say good-bye to her forever." "Where the fuck are they taking her?" "My body is a fucking temple and you have defiled it with your vampire-loving pecker." "Evening, fellas." "I'm looking for a vampire by the name of Pamela Swynford De Beaufort." "Has anyone seen my friend Pam?" "!" "Well, I guess not." "Can you lie down for me, please?" "Not until you tell me what the fuck this place is." "I thought I already had." "This is a research facility." "We're here to study you." "You're here to be studied." "If you don't want to be studied, there are guns pointed at you right now." "Not metaphorical guns, real guns." "Now, can you please lie down for me?" "Hold the fuck up." "Am I in therapy?" "Well, it's like therapy, yes." "But with an incentive." "I don't give a shit what the incentive is." "I am not gonna talk about my feelings." "What about the other room?" "What room are you referring to?" "The one where y'all had the vampires fucking under that hideous fluorescent lighting." "Put me in that room and I will fuck somebody for y'all." "I want out of this room." "This room's bullshit." "The copulation study is for level threes." "You're a level one." "Our interest in you is more intellectual." "We want to know what you think, how you think, what you think about." "And we will remain here as long as it takes until you engage in meaningful conversation." "You mentioned something about an incentive." "When was the last time you fed?" "Two days ago." "Good." "I am going to ask you a series of questions, and if I deem your responses truthful, we have what we call a living donor program, or LDP." "And what if I don't feel like being a good girl?" "You can have watered-down Tru Blood." " Care to try it?" " Bring me a donor." "Male or female?" "Female." "Send in Somchai, please." "Hello." "My name is Somchai." "First question, please." "Talk to me about what value you place on life." "Human life or vampire life?" "Let's start with human and then work our way up." " Who's the human?" " How about me?" "What value do you place on my life?" "None." "Can you expand on that?" "Your insignificance to me cannot be underestimated." "You are food, nothing else." "Not even good food." "You reek of tuna fish." "Truth is," "I care more about the life of that tuna you ate than I care about you." "Very good." "Somchai." "Oh." "Well, hey there, sugar boo boo." "Now what is you doing here at your place of work?" "'Cause I know it ain't work." "You know that spirit thingie that appeared" " out of thin air in my bathroom?" " Uh-huh." "Turns out it wasn't a spirit." "It was a faerie vampire trying to break through a portal from another dimension." "He told you he loved you?" "And the fucked-up part" "I kind of believed him." "Oh, Miss Ma'am, you have a messed-up talent for finding the good in every creature you meet." "But you can't be buying what this motherfucker is selling." "My whole life, I've always known the truth." "It's the curse of being able to read people's minds." "Until vampires came along, and then I was in the dark." "And I got more than my fair share of lies." "I need to find my way back to the truth." "And I'm gonna need your help to do it." "Remember that time Richie-Bobby shit himself on sit-up 27 of 200?" "Why am I here, Bellefleur?" "You know, just to shoot the shit and reminisce." "We could have shot the shit and reminisced over Facebook, but you called me up out of the blue after how many years of not speaking?" "Never reaching out?" "I'm gonna ask you one more time, why am I here?" "How's your shooting these days, Justin?" "How's my shooting?" "I recall you used to be able to fire a grouping that big from 50 meters out." "Might be just a hair bigger than that now, but I haven't lost much." "What the fuck's going on, Bellefleur?" "How would you like to kill me?" "What?" "I could pay you." "It won't be much." "But you wouldn't be doing it for free." "Hold the fuck on." "I tried to do it myself, but I couldn't pull the trigger." " What happened to you over there?" " It doesn't matter." "All that matters is that I deserve to die for it." " It was war, Bellefleur." " We killed people." " I killed people." " We all did." "Remember Patrick Devins?" "I killed him, too." "Just last week here in this bar right over there at table eight." "Terry, who's this?" "Um, Justin, this is my wife Arlene." "Arlene, this is Justin McGillich." "Pleased to meet you, ma'am." "And how do y'all know each other?" "Marine Corps basic training." "And what brings you to Merlotte's?" "Driving cross-country." "Figured I'd look an old buddy up on my way." "Okay." "Um, Terry, I don't mean to be rude, but Big John is pissed." "Oh, just two minutes is all I need." "I'll tell him." "But hurry." "I take it she knows." "She wants me to cover it up and go on like nothing ever happened." "But I can't do it, Justin." "I can't do it no more." "Yeah, Terry." "I'll kill you." "But I'm not gonna take your money." "I'll be doing it for free." "Thank you." "Just give me a couple days to get my affairs in order." "After that, it's up to you." "I just don't want to know it's coming, okay?" "Why don't you get on back to Big John?" "She said it was Jessica attacked her, killed her sisters." "Jessica?" "But she's such a nice vampire." "She killed my kids, Holly." "I know." "Andy, I" " I know." "There's just-- there's not even any words." "I'm just saying" "I don't know, maybe it's some kind of terrible accident." "It wasn't no accident." "She said Bill was taking their blood, performing some kind of experiment." "Andy Bellefleur, what are you doing?" "If Vampire Bill is behind this," "I'm gonna put a wooden bullet through his cold, dead heart." "No, you are not." "Bill is stronger than you, okay?" "You go over there half-cocked on some macho revenge mission, then you will lose and you will die." "Then that poor little faerie girl there, she ain't gonna have nobody." "I'm calling off the search party." "As far as anyone's gonna know, those girls went back to their mama." "I can't just do nothing." "Hey." "We're gonna get you through this." "Hey." "Hey." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Sorry, I had a lot to drink last night." "No need to be sorry." "Sure you're okay?" "I wanted to know what it would be like to live like a shifter." "Now I know." "Always on the run, hiding who you are, afraid you're gonna die." "Hey, I'm gonna find us a way out of this." "Really?" "Sam." "Hey." "Hey, sweet pea." "Pender, Jacobs, Callahan." "Tara?" "Thank God you're here." "They put me in a white room with racquetballs and they fucking shot me." "Me, too." "Where are we?" "We're in hell." "I thought so." "She said I was going to hell." "Steve Newlin's ex told me I was a demon whore." "What's wrong with you?" "I ate four faerie girls." "I am so fucked up." "Jesus." "Come on." "I feel like I'm losing my mind." "Yeah." "Do you believe in the devil?" "No." "But my mom sure did." "She'd see the devil in everything." "Devil's on the TV, in the rock and roll, and in your heart." "What if we're wrong?" "Bill's trying to save vampire-kind, but what if we don't deserve to survive?" "What if we're just bad?" "Don't be talking crazy." "I didn't have to kill those faerie girls." " But that's" " No, don't say that it was in my nature or that I couldn't help myself." "I killed them because I wanted to." "This hunger in me, it's never going away, is it?" "The longer vampires nest together, the stronger the bond becomes." " But it's not a real bond." " How so?" "Split up a nest one night, the vampires that shared it will be staking each other the next if one so much as looks at the other one funny." "So we shouldn't worry about regrouping vampires from barracks to barracks to prevent relationships from forming?" "I don't give a fuck what you worry about." "But I agree." "Your worries would be unfounded." "Thank you, Pam." "You're on." "Actually, Somchai, you can relax." "I'm feeling a little full." "So under ordinary circumstances, then, you feel no remorse when you kill another vampire?" "No, I don't." "Are you speaking for yourself or for all vampires?" "I like to think of myself as especially unremorseful." "But I doubt any of us gives a fuck." "Well, except for when it comes to your maker." "Yeah, that's a different story." "Tell me about your maker, Pam." "What was his name?" "Her name?" "What does it matter?" "He's not my maker anymore." " He released me." " And how does that work?" "You say the words "As your maker, I release you" and it's done." "Just like that?" "Did you have any idea it was coming?" "None." "What did it feel like?" "I feel nothing." "Nothing?" "You humans love your pain, don't you?" "You just love being in it." "You even consider it a virtue." "Cry the most at a funeral, you must be the best person." "You promise to never forget each other." "You promise to feel the sting of loss forever." "Because for y'all, forever is just the blink of an eye." "Your lives are pathetically brief." "When we say forever, we have to mean it." "So we move past our pain." "We heal, we move on." "Because pain is a worthless emotion." "For a time, my maker was everything to me." "He released me." "It hurt." "But now..." "I'm over it." "He's nobody to me." "I'm not sure I believe you." "Looks like you and I are through, then, Somchai." "Hi, you've reached the Wright residence." " What the hell?" " Sorry." "I can't let you do that." "My parents probably think I'm dead, Sam." " Good." " Fuck you." "Fuck you." "You tell your parents about the werewolves, werewolves kill your parents." "It's as simple as that." "No, because my parents won't tell anyone." "They will find them." "They're the best trackers around, I told you." "Hey, Daddy Wolf." "You got that ice?" "Yeah." "I don't want mine." "Cool it." "What's wrong with you?" "She's all right." "Thanks." "I guess now you girls owe me." "Fuck this place." "Tara." " I know her." " Willa?" "Burrell's daughter is a VIP." "Don't mix with you gen pop vampers." "Look at you, already making friends." "I could be your friend, too." "I've made friends with a bunch of she-vamps in here." "Kind of like I scratch your back, you lick my balls." "When my daddy finds out what you just said to me" "Your daddy put you in here, so I wouldn't be holding my breath he's gonna come save you, sweetheart." "Welcome to vamp camp, Miss Burrell." "Hey, this is Sookie." "I'm not in right now." "Please leave a message." "Hey, Sook, listen." "I messed up real bad with Jessica and I got to go fix it." "I just got so bent out of shape the last couple of days, hating on vampires." "But that ain't who I am, it ain't who I want to be." "So I'm gonna make it right." "Ah!" "Anyway, you're in safe hands with Niall." "I love you and I'll see you soon." "Come on, Stackhouse." "You can put that stuff right there." "You sure you want to do this?" "Ignorance is bliss for a reason." "I spent my whole life wanting to know what happened the night my parents were killed." "It never occurred to me to ask them direct." "Okay." "You ready?" "Now listen up, dead folk." "I am summoning the spirits of Corbett and Michelle Stackhouse." "Shh!" "Shut up, y'all." "Get in line." "I said I'm looking for Corbett and Michelle Stackhouse." "Corbett and Michelle?" "They don't want to come, Sook." "I don't know." "Some dead folks just want to stay dead." "Hold up." "Oh, shit, they're here." "Stackhouses?" "Calm the fuck down." "Okay." "Okay, you can talk to them now." "Um..." "Mom?" "Dad?" "I found out you were murdered by a vampire named Warlow." "He's here." "Did you try to kill me?" "Can't make out what they're trying to say." " You can't have her." " Sookie's a faerie." "Her blood is royal, as is mine." "It's been passed down through our line for millennia." "Haven't you ever wondered about Sookie's ability to read your minds?" "I just thought she was weird like her grandfather." "You shut up about my dad." "She's not weird." "She's not a freak." "She's fae." "She's special." "Your ancestor John Stackhouse entered into a contract with me promising me the first female-born fae of his clan." "I'm a prince." "I will make Sookie a princess." "It's the way our tribe has done it since the beginning of time." "But you're saying some shit about turning her into a vampire." "There ain't no such thing as vampires." "I will make your daughter immortal." "She'll never have to fear death." "You can die in peace knowing she will never have to do the same." "I will protect her forever." "Get out." "Leave us alone, please." "When she is of age, I'll come back for her." " Where are you going?" " I'm not gonna let that monster take her." " What are you gonna do?" " I'm gonna end it." "Tonight." "She's not gonna feel a thing." "Now say good-bye." "What about what he said?" "She could live forever." "You saw him, Michelle." "You saw what he was." "You really gonna let him turn her into one of them?" "'Cause I'm not." "Wait." "You were gonna kill me." "There he is right there." "All this time, I" "I thought you loved me, but you were gonna take my life." "Oh, shit." "I did love you, baby." "I do love you." "What kind of love is that?" "He's gotten to you, hasn't he?" " Gotten to me?" " I bet he said he loved you." "And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker." "You love him, don't you?" "You don't know me." "I'm a lot smarter than" "I'm your daddy, Sookie!" "Lafayette, don't!" "Stop!" "Don't!" "Lafayette, don't." " He can't hear you, sweetie." " Don't!" "No." "Someone help!" "Let me go!" "As your maker" "I'll kill him before you finish that command." "You would kill an innocent man?" "Thanks to you, I've killed many innocent men." "What do you want?" "You ruined my life." "You knew I would massacre my entire village." "I told you you could never go back." "You chose not to believe me." "Well, you should have stopped me!" "What were they to you, anyway?" "You didn't need them." "You had me." "You were destined for great things." "You are destined for great things." "Your stupid prophecy." "I never believed any of it." "The rantings of a lunatic." "And yet here you are and here I am, just as was foretold." "Please spare him." "We need him." "You need him and me to save the vampire race." "Well, I despise the vampire race." "I wish the vampire race extinction." "I wish you extinction." "You should have just stayed dead." "Right this way, baby." "I've got a surprise for you." "What's this about, Sarah?" "I recall you were cross with me." "I was, and I want to apologize for pressing you." "We all have moments of weakness, but it is in those moments that the Lord shows us the light." "Close your eyes." "Hello, Governor." "Your gay vampire ex?" "That's my surprise?" "Oh, I think you're gonna come to appreciate me." "Have a seat, Governor." "Enjoy the show." " You got him." " We got him, honey." "You want to talk to him?" "Oh, yeah, I want to talk to him." "Hold for the governor." "Ooh, the governor." "My daughter came home." "You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" "Um... fuck you." "No, fuck you, you dead fuck." "Fuck you for taking my baby girl away from me." "Fuck you for killing her." "And fuck you for leaving me no choice but to intern her here." "You didn't." "Oh, I most certainly did." " Your own daughter?" " What did you think?" "That if you turned my angel into the very thing I most despise," "I would abandon my principles?" "I don't change my mind." "Cue the stake." "All right, Governor." "Give me something to kill." "Wait for it, Blondie." "This is the best part." "Oh." "There's more?" "There's more." "That's one of his progeny." "They love each other." "I provided the intel, so..." "Go ahead, Pam." "Show me how little he means to you." "Haven't you seen "Gladiator"?" "Fucking fight!" "Come back here." " Let me go." " I'm so sorry, sweetheart." "Before I put NyQuil in your juice." "You were out cold." " You was never gonna know." " Let me go!" "Lafayette, no!" "Please, don't." "Daddy, Daddy, please don't." "Please." "You'll never understand how much I love you, baby girl." "Sometimes parents do things that don't make sense to their kids, but when you get to the other side, I hope you understand." "I'll be seeing you real soon." "Daddy, please, I don't want to die." "I don't want to"
