"We've had a difficult relationship with law enforcement for many years." "The man provoked me." "I coulïve done much worse." "I'm sure you could have." "If I wasn't watching, you probably woulïve killed that man." " Hardly." " Would you have bit him?" "See, thas just crazy." "You woulïve fed on him, then tossed him like an old chicken bone." "And don't tell me thas what vampires do." "I'm doing my best." "Sucking the blood from a police officer is not mainstreaming." "Neither is hosting orgies or listening to crazy Chinese gargling." " Is Tuvan throat singing." " Whatever." "Tuvan?" "I don't even know where that is." "Sookie, you cannot be frightened of everything you don't know in this world." "Well, my worlïs opening up mighty fast and what I got here may be boring, but is safe." "And after the past couple of nights, safe sounds pretty good about now." "No, thank you." "I can get this door myself." "I won't call on you again." "Stupid fucking bitch." "Bring it on." "I was all-parish in high school." "I knew there were stupid genes in our family but you must have gotten them all." " When did you start dealing V?" " You want some?" "You could use it." "You making jokes about it?" "You gonna get killed, dumb motherfucker." "Is this because I'm selling V, or because I sold it to your sweet Jason Stackhouse?" "Giving vampire blood to Jason Stackhouse is like giving Ho Hos to a diabetic." " You know he can't control himself." " I was clear on how to use it." " It ain't my fault he didn't listen." " I had to take him to the ER." "They drained his penis with a needle the size of an ice pick." "Twice." "It was the most disturbing shit I've seen in my entire life and I have seen some pretty disturbing shit." " Okay." " He suffered, Lafayette." " Okay." " Bad." "Okay, okay, I'm sorry." "I'll go and check in on him in the morning." "And I know he mean a lot to you and everything but how is coming up in my joint at 3 a." "M throwing my shit around gonna make anything better?" "It makes me feel better." "Okay." "Shame on you, Adele Stackhouse." " Shame on you." " Who is this?" "A vampire is a perversion of humanity." "And you are perverting our community by bringing one into the open." "I suggest you hear what he has to say before lynching him." "I don't care what vagrants you keep in your own home but when you bring freaks and abominations into our churches in front of our children, you will have to..." "Well, I will be at the church early if you would like to stop by and say hi." "Mr. Compton's talk starts at 8." " You will go to hell for this." " All right, same to you." "Bye, now." "Phone's been ringing early today." "Oh, everyone is excited about meeting the town vampire tonight." " I didn't hear you come in last night." " You went to bed early." "You didn't wanna hear me come in." "Well, I just thought I would give you two a little privacy, is all." "Am I that much of a lost cause that you gotta pin your hopes for me on a vampire?" " But he seems like a very nice man." " Well, he's not." " He's not nice?" " Or a man." " Oh, goodness, did you two have a fight?" " No." "Kind of." "I don't think Bill and I have very much in common." "He doesn't think like we do he doesn't feel the way we do, if he feels at all." "Well, I know that if I had a chance to know somebody who experienced the world differently I'd see it as a blessing and not something to be scared of." " Or hate." " I don't hate him." "I just don't wanna be his girlfriend." "The phone's ringing." "Machine will pick it up." " Damn." " Yeah, just like that." "And no anesthesia either." "First I get hauled in by the cops." "Then I gotta let a dude drain my johnson." " Thas a fuck of a day." " Sounds like it." "Jason, you didn't tell nobody where you get the V at, did you?" "Do I look stupid?" "I didn't even let on I was taking anything." " You're my dawg." " Well, I love you right back." "But listen, you gotta stop selling V, man." "It fucks people up." "I mean, shit, now Sheriff Dearborne thinks I'm some kind of sex maniac." "And hell if I know how I'll ever, ever be able to look Tara in the face again." "Well, she'll get over it." "The girl's been lost in love with you since she was 8." " No shit?" " No shit." "Oh, man, thas even worse." "I had no idea." "My life sucks so much ass." "And is all because of your fucking V." "Listen, don't blame the Ferrari just because your ass can't drive." "You're gonna have to learn how to ride the high, boyfriend." "Fuck that, I am done with V. Go fuck some other people up with that." " You broke me." " No, man." "If you can learn to control it V will open up your mind to everything you missing around you." "Thas whas gonna snap you out of all this shit." " More V?" " Lf done right." "I got some in my car if you want me to show you." "Now, I ain't selling you no whole vial until you learn how to use this shit right." "You get me?" "This is the life force of a vampire." "They're just blood in a skin casing." "Ain't a whole lot different between a vampire and a boudin sausage except for the blood." "Our blood sustains life." "This blood is life." "One drop." "Thas all you need." "Can't be greedy." "Billions of molecules of pure, undiluted, 24-karat life." "You take this in, you take in a piece of the vampire it came from." "The trick is, you have to let it take you deep." "Follow it." "Soak it in." "What kind of vampire is that?" "He's new." "So the blood is still a little wild." "I can feel him in my muscles, making me strong." "But you might get another side of him." "The same V could affect you in a whole other way." "But I guarantee you will see the world with new eyes." " Christ, I can't believe I'm doing this again." " Oh, no, man." "You're doing it for the first time." "That vampire Bill would get a rise out of that." "You'll have to ask him yourself." "Vamp club not all it was made out to be, huh?" "Lot of freaks, I hear." "And people from Arkansas." "It was fine." "So, what, then?" "Did that vampire get all handsy with you?" "Arlene, I can take care of myself." "And, no, I won't be going out with him again." "Okay, that place was kind of freaky but how are you gonna know until you see for yourself?" " I said my piece yesterday." " I'm sorry it didn't turn out like you hoped." "But better it happens now than before you end up hurt or dead." "Have a good night." "Hope you're not too flipped out to miss the Descendants of the Glorious Dead tonight." "I gotta go." "Gran spent all week on it." "Good, because I was gonna ask if you wanna go with me." "You know, maybe we'll go grab a cup of coffee or something after?" "Are you asking me out?" "Yeah, I am." "Thas pretty much how I do it." "Sometimes they even say yes." " Everyone's looking at us." " I know, you better say yes." "Shoot." " Why not?" " Good." "Eyes back on your food, people." "Sorry about that." "They were all kind of watery." "No sweat." "Love is in the air, huh?" " I guess." " Even that brother of yours." "He getting serious with Tara?" "Tara who? "Tara" Tara?" " Oh, I thought you knew." " Lf there was any truth to it, I would." "There you go, right there, I knew it." "Tara ain't banging Stackhouse." "Bitch lied to me." " Watch your mouth, Andy." " I didn't say anything." "I know I didn't say anything, but I did think it." "And you heard it." "That means is true." "You can hear what people think." "Let me get you a refill on that tea." "Need a sweet tea." "Tara here yet?" "She just came in." "She's in the ladies' room." "Why didn't you tell me you were going out with Sam?" "Because it just happened." "And how did you know?" "Arlene." "She works fast." "All he did was ask me to the DGD tonight." "Is in a church, for crying out loud." "And why shouldn't I?" "He's perfectly nice, he's got a good job, and he's not a vampire, and..." " Why do I have to justify this to you?" " I'm entitled to know what my girl's up to." "Yeah, about that." "Why does Andy Bellefleur think you're seeing my brother?" "I went to the sheriff's and gave Jason an alibi." " What did you do that for?" " Because I know he's innocent." "So do you." "And the more time he spends with the police the more he's gonna talk himself into trouble." " Is there something you're not telling me?" " No." "What are you doing?" "Not every detail of everyone's personal life is your business, okay?" "Keep that girl away from me." " Arlene, come and pick up your..." " Hey." "Is everything okay?" "Hey, you know, now that I think of it my brother and Tara have kind of been sneaking around lately." "Shame they feel they gotta keep it quiet." "She must think I'm an idiot." "Like I don't know she's covering for him too." "Shit, don't look her in the eye." "If you're gonna accuse me of lying be a man and say it out loud, for Pete's sake." "Either way I'm gonna hear you, whether you look me in the eye or not." "Les face it, there's not a whole lot of ideas in there." "Like mice in a cage." "I know you're grasping at straws, but don't drag my brother down with you." " Here you go." " Hoyt." "Hoyt." "Hey." "Mama, what are you doing?" " Help Mama get this thing down." " Get it?" "Our guest of honor is a vampire." "Adele plumb forgot that little fact when she booked the church for tonight." "What do you think's gonna happen when he comes out and sees a giant cross?" " I don't know." " Well, I don't either." "But if he sizzles up like fatback bacon in front of everybody there's not gonna be much of a meeting, now." " Now, come on, make yourself useful." " Quit jerking on it." "Hi there, munchkins." "Oh, I reckon you're the youngest history buffs we've had at the DGD." "Yeah, well, they wouldn't stay home for nothing." "The minute they heard "vampire," they had to come." " Well, hello there, Mayor Norris." " Evening, Adele." " Quite a turnout." " Isn't it?" "Good thing Myra made extra ambrosia." "Oh, Andy Bellefleur will like that." "He's with the Dearbornes." "Though Lord knows why Bud insisted on wearing his uniform." " Is our vampire friend here?" " In the kitchen, waiting." "I left him with a bottle of that Tru Blood they like." "Adele, do you think we've taken enough precautions?" " Against what?" " Well, to make sure everybody's safe." "Ordinarily I wouldn't pay no mind, but there's young folks here." "Sterling, we don't have anything to be frightened of." "Mr. Compton is a perfect gentleman." "Frankly, I am more worried about what we might do to him." "Mama, this ain't gonna budge without a jackhammer or a blowtorch." "Get down from there." "I got a better idea." " Wow, Gran, look at all the people." " Isn't it exciting?" "Well, Sam Merlotte, what a nice surprise." "Sookie told me she was coming alone." "Thought it would be a shame if she came without an escort." " Well, how very gentlemanly of you." " Okay, we're sitting down now." " Yup." "I see him." " Sookie will." "Hey, girl." "Can we join you?" " Hi, Tara." " Sure, come on in." "Could always use more white people." "If you can learn to control it V will open up your mind to everything you missing around you." "There's nothing but old people." "Man, I thought we were here for a vampire, not zombies." "Yeah, more like Descendants of the Walking Dead." "Hey, you assholes didn't leave the shit in the pick-them-up, did you?" " Is in the Book of Revelation." " Of course it is, yeah." "Thas what I'm saying." "If you know your Scriptures..." "Because usually they get them right in the neck, right there." "Hey." "Mind if I sit with you?" " Sure, have a seat." " Hey, guys." " How you feeling?" " Oh, strong." "Alive." "Yup." "Hey, sit back." " Is okay to relax." " I thought I was relaxed." "I don't think you know how." "Welcome." "It certainly is a pleasure to see so many new faces here this month." "But Mayor Norris assures me that there will be enough ambrosia and tipsy cake for everyone." "Now, our guest tonight is a gentleman who despite what you might have heard, is one of us." "His family was among the first to settle in Bon Temps and he bravely fought for Louisiana in the War for Southern Independence." "Let us welcome one of the original sons of Bon Temps back to the town that he helped build." "I give you First Lieutenant William Thomas Compton." "Thank you, Mrs. Stackhouse." "If you'll pardon me for a moment." "As a patriot of this great nation I wouldn't dream of putting myself before Old Glory." "As you can see, I did not burst into flames." "We vampires are not minions of the devil." "We can stand before a cross or a bible or in a church just as readily as any other creature of God." " Well, how was I supposed to know?" " I am honored to stand before you tonight." "Vampires have traditionally been very private perhaps to our detriment." "But I believe if we reach out to one another that we can coexist and even thrive together." "I served in the 28th Louisiana Infantry formed in Monroe in 1862 under Colonel Henry Gray." "It was there that we learned the value of human life and the ease with which it can be extinguished." "That son of a buck's been killing since the 1860s." " Why stop now?" " That don't prove anything." "My cousin Terry killed 20 Iraqis in Fallujah." " You saying we should lock him up?" " Your cousin Terry should be locked up." "Uneducated as we were we knew little of the political or ideological conflicts that had lead to this point." "Mama, he's so white." "No, darling, we're white." "He's dead." "But going to war was not a choice for us." "We believed, to a man, that we had a calling to fulfill a destiny handed down to us from above." "God forbid should any of our men become wounded or injured." "Often the only recourse for a serious injury was amputation." "More times than I care to remember I had to hold down one of my fellow soldiers while the medic took a saw to his arm or leg." "We had no anesthesia at the time apart from whiskey." " Load it up." "It often seemed that the man being operated on suffered more from his surgery than he did from his original wound." "Even if he survived the amputation the chance of subsequent infection was high." "Fucker." "Keep it down." "In the winter months, the nights could grow bitter cold." "My great-grandfather was in the 28th." "I wonder if you might have known him." "His name was Tolliver Humphries." "Tolliver Humphries?" "Yes." "I knew him very well." "We fought together." "Tolliver Humphries was my friend." "He was a brave man, perhaps to a fault." "I daresay it contributed to his death." " What happened?" "Were you there?" " I was." "We were about 20 miles north of where I stand now." "The Federals outnumbered us 5-to-1, and they had better firepower as well." "We'd spent much of the afternoon recovering the bodies of those we'd lost." "Help me, please!" "There was a boy in our troop, no more than 13 or 14 who lay wounded in the middle of a field under poor cover." "He called to us all day." "He begged us to help him." "He knew he would die if we didn't." "I admit I considered shooting the boy myself just to shut him up." "Help me, please!" "Tolliver convinced me that would be an act of murder." "Hold your fire." "He told me God wanted him to rescue that boy." " I'll go get him." " I pleaded with him not to go to think of his own wife and children back home." "But he ran into that field like it was a cool spring day." "Please!" "They shot him just as he reached the boy." "It was obvious to us that he was beyond help." "And then after a while, the boy started screaming again." "What happened to the boy?" "He lived." "He survived the day and then under cover of darkness, we retrieved him later that night along with the body of Tolliver Humphries." "But it seems that Tolliver was right." "God did look after his descendants." "Yes, Mayor Norris?" "I've been digging in the archives this week and I found this old tintype." "The inscription on the back says:" ""Mr. W.T. Compton and family."" "Can you tell us if this is a picture of you?" "This..." "This is a remarkable photograph." "I remember the day we gathered to have this taken." "When was the last time you were with them?" "When I went to war in 1862." "I..." "My human life ended before I had a chance to come back home." "But you became a vampire after that, right?" "Couldn't you go back to your family then?" "No." "No, that wouldn't have been possible." "I..." "I apologize." "This is not a subject I'm very comfortable speaking about." "But thank you for the photograph, mayor." "Brings back many memories for me." "Any other questions?" " Thank you so much." " Thanks for coming, dear." "Thank you, sir." "They don't understand, man." "None of them will ever understand." " You stay sharp, brother." " All right." "Could I...?" "Would it be possible to take a picture with you?" " Of course." " You won't vanish in the photo?" "Thas just a myth." "And is one I'd be happy to disprove." "Come on around." "All right." "All right." " Here you are." " Thanks so much, Adele." " Hey." "Great job tonight." " Wasn't he just marvelous?" "Yeah, that was..." "That was quite a show." "Billy, you remember Sam, right?" " Yes, you're Sookie's employer." " Not when we're off duty." "No, legally, you still are." "Well, I just wanted to congratulate you." "It seems like you've won everybody over." "Well, some, I hope." "Well, we better get going." "We're gonna grab a cup of coffee before we call it a night." "Coffee." "Sounds delightful." "Good night, Gran." "I'll see you later." "He seems nice." "Man, this place is crawling with hot chicks, and we're just sitting here." "Well, don't look at me." "My chere is right there." "You want a girl so bad, you get one yourself, you." " Want another round?" " Yeah." "Hey, maybe we should order up a couple of those Tru Bloods." "Well, after meeting that vampire tonight, don't you wanna try it, see what is like?" "I go to the dog races." "You see me eating Alpo?" "Well, I just thought he was pretty cool, was all." "Another Dixie Draft?" "Stackhouse?" "Jason." " Dixie Draft?" " Yeah." "I'll get it." " I love you guys." " I know." "Another Dixie Draft?" "You feel that?" "Every hair on your arm's shooting sparks into my hand." "You know those electric fences they use to pen horses?" "It feels like I just pissed on one." "Oh, my God, you are still high." "I'm gonna kill Lafayette." "No, don't." "I'm not high." "Okay, I am high, but that don't mean that what I'm feeling ain't real." "For the first time, I can see clear." "All these years I was blinded by the bullshit that keeps people apart." "Is you, Tara." " Is been you all along." " Who you think you're talking to?" " I've known you since I was 6 years old." " And is taken me all this time to admit it." "Come here." "This bar might be full of beautiful women but you're the one who took care of me when I needed it." "You showed me love, Tara, and thas the most beautiful thing of all." "Come to me when you're sober." "Then we can talk serious." "Just give me a chance." "I'll prove it to you." "Everything I'm feeling I wanna feel it with you." "One chance." "Thas all I'm asking." " Last bite's yours." " No, you go ahead." "Here, we'll split it." "Well, I guess you saw this coming, huh?" "What?" "Tonight?" "What makes you say that?" "I said you could listen in, hear what I'm thinking if you wanted." " You never even tried?" " No, I have." "And to be honest, it was a little weird." "You don't think the way others do." "Most people, is whole sentences or images." "With you, sometimes there's words, but other times I just get these sounds like waves of emotions." " I guess I'm just a freak." " I was gonna say "mysterious."" "How come nobody knows anything about you?" "I never hear you talk about where you're from or your family or anything." "The place I'm from and the people who raised me got nothing to do with who I am." " And I ended up pretty much raising myself." " Is that why you spend so much time alone?" "No, I think thas just because I don't like people." "Come on, no one opens a bar if they don't like people." "Well, maybe I wanted to meet some pretty waitresses." "Too bad you got yourself a couple crazy ones in the bargain." "Sookie, there's nothing wrong with you." "I can't understand why you'd wanna fix or change or hide anything." "I wouldn't want you any other way." "You're just trying to get on my good side." "How am I doing?" "Finish it." "Thas yours." " Is there a problem with my burger?" " Just a couple of drunk rednecks, thas all." " Well, whas their problem?" " Oh, come on, now, is not worth it." " What did they say?" " He said the burger..." " What did they say, Arlene?" " He said the burger might have AIDS." "Lafayette." "Oh, fudge." "Excuse me." "Who ordered the hamburger with AIDS?" "I ordered the hamburger deluxe." "In this restaurant, a hamburger deluxe come with french fries lettuce, tomato, mayo and AIDS." " Do anybody got a problem with that?" " Yeah." "I'm an American, and I got a say in who makes my food." "Well, baby, is too late for that." "Faggots been breeding your cows, raising your chickens brewing your beer long before I walked my sexy ass in." "Everything on your goddamn table got AIDS." "You still ain't making me eat no AIDS burger." "Well, all you gotta do is say, "Hold the AIDS."" "Here." "Eat it." "Bitch, you come in my house, you gonna eat my food the way I fucking make it!" "Do you understand me?" "Tip your waitress." "Well, I am thankful you can't hear all my thoughts." " Why's that?" " Because then you'd know whas coming." " You okay?" "Are we going too fast?" " No." "No." "Maybe." "I don't wanna make you do anything you don't wanna." " I do, I do, I do." "Trust me." " Yeah." "I want to." "Is just kind of too much right now and a little too soon, since..." "Okay." "Since what?" "Oh, goddamn it, Sookie." "I'm sorry." "I'm not used to this." "Should never have gone to see that damn vampire." "Is not him." "Just stop it." "I just can't go jumping from kissing one man to the next so quickly." " You kissed him?" " Thas none of your business." " What else did you do?" " Thas really none of your business." "Is this a contest?" "Whatever he did, you have to top it?" "Come on, be fair." "Unfair is you waiting till someone else shows an interest before you kiss me." "Sookie, you have no future with a vampire." "They don't die." "I've got nothing but a future with one." "Just like Dawn had a future?" "Like Maudette Pickens?" "Bill did not kill those women." "Listen, there's nothing I will not do to keep that thing from hurting you." "They're not like us." "They could turn on you." "And people can't?" "You're doing pretty good right now." "All right, I think I best take you home." "You go ahead." "I'll call a cab." "Oh, for crying out loud, don't be stupid, Sookie, get in." "Sookie." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Whip." "Whip." "What you doing, baby?" "Oh, you know, keeping it real." "Partying." "Me too." "I'm celebrating." "Oh, yeah?" "Whas the occasion?" "My divorce went through today." " Thas great." " He was a jerk." "He shot my car." " Sorry to hear that." " Yeah?" "Is like watching Animal Planet, yeah?" "Any second, she gonna bite his head off, I swear." "So you wanna help me forget all about him?" "She asked me to come home with her." " So, what are you doing here, you?" " I said I'd think about it." "Yeah, you a lost cause." "What?" "I just didn't feel that..." "That spark." "Another Dixie Draft." "Tru Blood, O-negative." "No refunds on that, Hoyt." "Oh, is hot." "Thas the way is served: 98.6." "That shit is nasty." "Yeah, whad you expect?" "They supposed to taste like blood." "I thought it was supposed to be some sort of life force." "Tru Blood don't do nothing." "The real life force is V." " V?" " Vampire blood." "Is illegal." "All our blood belongs to the universe." "They take some from us, we take a little from them." "I just say no to drugs, merci." "It might give you the will to seal the deal with that girl." "Only thing holding you back is you." "Oh, shit." "Look." "What do you see, son?" "Mr. Compton?" "I'm Bud Dearborne, sheriff of Renard Parish." " This here's Detective Andy Bellefleur." " Bellefleur?" "What can I do for you gentlemen?" "We'd like to ask you questions pertaining to an investigation, if you don't mind." "Of course." "Why don't you come on in?" "Into the house?" "Please, make yourselves at home." "May I offer you a drink?" "No, thank you." " I have Frescas." " You do?" " For guests." " Well, I'll have a Fresca." " What the hell are you doing?" " He offered." " He's a suspect." " Maybe to you." "We got no evidence." "He's a vampire." "Is a toaster." "For bread." "You put the slices in the end and then you cook them over the hearth." "I don't use it anymore, as I no longer eat." "You said you had some questions for me." "We're investigating a couple of homicides that took place locally in the past week." "I've heard." "Were you familiar with either of the victims, Maudette Pickens or Dawn Green?" "Miss Pickens, no, but Miss Green I believe she worked over at Sam Merlotte's place." "We never spoke, but I saw her." "Were you aware that both had sexual contact with vampires?" "I was not." "But is more common than you would think." "Have anybody that can vouch for your whereabouts on the night of the 23rd and the 27th?" "Tell me, sheriff were either of these unfortunate women exsanguinated when you found them?" "Drained of their blood?" "If you don't mind my asking." "Thas not information we're at liberty to share." "Because a fresh corpse full of blood..." "Detective, thas something no vampire could resist." "I daresay not even I." " Good thing you weren't there." " And nor was any other vampire." "A vampire would have drained those girls of every last drop." "How's your Fresca?" " Is a little warm." " I apologize." "I don't own a refrigerator." " Oh, shoot." "I think I forgot my pen." " Leave it." "Is there anyone inside?" "I require help." "I'm a soldier with the 28th Louisiana Infantry." "I require food and water." "Is there anyone who can help me?" "Do not move." "I will shoot you." "I wasn't even aware we surrendered." "Word came two weeks ago." "Yeah." "We disbanded immediately." "Most of the men marched back to Monroe but I chose to take a shortcut home by way of these trails." "I overestimated my knowledge of the land." "You're not far off." "The lake is 10 miles southwest of here and Bon Temps is 10 miles south of that." "My husband was in the 13th Infantry, under Colonel Gibson." "He fought at Shiloh." "He used to write to me every few weeks but I haven't heard from him in nearly seven months." "Many of the postal routes have been disrupted." " I'm sure your letter simply got lost." " Thas kind of you." "But I've considered myself a widow for some time now." "You still have quite a lot of blood on you." "You're a lucky man, lieutenant." "I doubt you woulïve survived another day without food." "I'm in debt to you for taking pity on me." "I think for your sake you'd best spend the night here with me." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I apologize if I misled you." "But I have a wife and two small children waiting for me." "And if Bon Temps is close, as you say it is, then I'll see them soon and I do not wish to sully our reunion." "You are an honorable man." " The others have not always been so." " There's been others?" "From time to time." "Deserters, mostly." "I offered them a crust of bread and a place to rest and they would help appease my loneliness." "It may not be moral, lieutenant but these are times of war." "I do not judge you." "Your choices are your own, as are mine." "I wish to continue on my way home." "You have my gratitude for your hospitality." "I will not soon forget it." "The others." "They all presented themselves as gentlemen." "You can blame the war if you like." "They proved to be no more than savages once I let them into my home." "They deserved no better." "Have I died?" "Oh, yes." "But I'm not keen to let you go quite so easily." "I've waited a long time for a man such as you." "Drink." "If you do not drink, you will die certain as I'm speaking to you right now." "Do you wish to see your family again?" "Your wife, your children?" "You must drink from me." "Take me in you." "Feel me in you." "We are together, William, forever." "You are mine." "Look." " What do you see?" " You know you can never enter." "Do you wish to see them grow old?" "Grow feeble and die while you remain the same year after year?" "They are my family." "They are as good as dead if they are found harboring a vampire." "I've brought you here and now is time for us to go." "Come." "You've gotta be kidding me." "Oh, hey." "Hey, Tara." "This is Randi Sue." "Come join us." "Is beautiful." "Fuck you, Stackhouse." "Bitch!" "No one fucks with my hair." "Don't you dare stop."
