"Thank you, darling." "[JOE LEE CLEARS THROAT]" "SAM:" "Hey." "Whoa." "How many has he had?" "The boy can hold his liquor." "Go on, kill it." "Well, I don't care." "He's underage." "I'm right here, dick." "He'll be 20 next April." "What's the difference?" "It makes a big difference to me if I lose my liquor license." "What are you doing feeding him shots anyhow?" "Listen, I've known my son a lot longer than you have." "I suggest you don't tell me how to raise him." "Joe Lee." "I suggest you follow the rules in my bar." "You talk to me like I'm some kind of drunk." "Well, you are drunk." "Dude, you throw a punch, you are so one of us." "Okay, that's enough." "God almighty, y'all sure know how to piss all over a perfectly fine reunion." "You should call it a night." "Come on." "Don't take it personal, Sam." "Joe Lee ain't got a bad bone in him when he's sober." "We'll go." "I don't wanna embarrass ourselves any more than we already have." "Just make sure they get home safe." "Get in the van, boys." "We'll see you soon?" "Sure." "od evening, miss." "Are you home alone tonight?" "Listen, buddy, I don't know what you have in mind, but you are messing with the wrong girl." "Hey, vampires can't enter a home without an invitation." "A human home." "And, uh, the last human owner of this house died a year ago." "Fuck." "How come nobody tells me any of this?" "[CHUCKLES]" "Come, Miss Hamby, sit down." "I just wanna talk." "So how do you know my name?" "It's my job." "I find things." "Yeah, well, what sort of things?" "Anything that needs finding." "Do you have anything like that?" "Well, um, Bill Compton." "He owns this place." "He's been gone a couple days." "I can't even reach him on his phone." "Yes, him too, but, um," "I was thinking of somebody else." "Think hard." "Has anyone else gone missing lately?" "[♪]" "Maybe this will jog your memory." "[SCREAMS]" "So you do know him." "No." "It's a head." "How do you expect me to react?" "Come on." "Tell me, where'd you meet this handsome devil?" "Hm?" "Who broke the ice?" "I'm guessing him." "[IN SOUTHERN ACCENT] "You've sure got some pretty lips, girlfriend."" "Mwah." "Stop." "Just put it-- Put it down." "FRANKLIN:" "The important part is that he's no longer a problem." "See?" "I help you, you help me a little in return." "Now... why don't you tell me everything you know about Bill Compton?" "[♪]" "[DOOR OPENS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[JASON SIGHS]" "[ALARM BEEPING]" "[♪]" "[RUSTLING NEARBY]" "[BIRD CHIRPS]" "Hey!" "Get back here!" "[BIRD CHIRPING]" "Shit!" "[BLUES MUSIC PLAYING INSIDE CLUB]" "[PATRONS CHATTERING]" "Might not look like much, but Lou Pine's, it's the oldest were bar in Mississippi." "Alcide." "[MAN CHUCKLING]" "It's nice to see a face from the old pack." "I figured the new wolves are drinking enough for all of us." "Mm-hm." "Who's the civilian?" "She's cool." "She's a friend." "Am I not dressed properly?" "You look like dinner." "I'll keep an eye on her, Hollis." "ALCIDE:" "Gonna have to split off." "See you with me, they ain't gonna talk." "Where are you gonna be?" "With my guys." "I'll be watching you." "You make it quick, for your own sake." "[ALL CHATTERING]" "Hey, boys." "Oh, my God, I am so stupid." "I left my wallet in the car, but I am parched." "Any of you guys mind buying a girl a cosmo?" "You here alone, cream puff?" "Oh, you are stupid." "Oh, I've been to much tougher places than this." "Any of you heard of a place in Louisiana called Fangtasia?" "You're a fangbanger?" "SOOKIE:" "There's nothing meaner or stronger than a vampire." "What's not to like?" "You'd be surprised." "GUS:" "If you knew we kicked the shit out of one a couple nights ago, you'd be on your knees right quick." "Why don't you tell me about it?" "[BILL SCREAMING, MEN LAUGHING]" "Let's talk about it in private" "Sure." "Why not?" "[♪]" "MAN:" "Yeah!" "Whoo!" "CROWD:" "Yeah!" "[CROWD CHEERING]" "Me first or you?" "You know a vampire?" "Can you take me to him?" "Like a three-way sort of deal?" "Come on, where is he?" "Shut the fuck up." "I got more vampire blood in me than you think." "[SCREAMS]" "Hey, asshole." "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "MAN 1:" "Hey." "What the fuck you doing?" "WOMAN 1:" "Hit him." "MAN 2:" "Get him." "MAN 3:" "Yeah." "WOMAN 2:" "Kick his ass." "MAN 4:" "Yeah." "MAN 5:" "Come on." "Goddamn!" "I'm gonna run out of bats if he keeps this up." "Now get him out of here." "Now!" "MAN 1:" "Get him out of here." "MAN 2:" "Let's go." "MAN 3:" "Come on, let's go." "Come on, man." "She ain't worth it." "I barely even know her." "I mean Debbie." "What about Debbie?" "Oh, shit." "Um..." "Debbie's getting engaged to Coot." "[SIGHS]" "Come on, Hollis, stop it." "The party's tomorrow night." "Here." "I'm sorry I gotta be the one to break it to you." "Good evening, Tara." "Who told you my name?" "I met a delightful baby vampire tonight." "Actually, no, she was irritating as all get-out, but she did tell me a great many things, such as your name and the fact that you live in a house owned by the human companion of Mr. Bill Compton." "Why is that important to you?" "Who do you work for?" "Well, now who's interested in getting to know me all of a sudden?" "Mind if I, uh, come in?" "Hell no." "I got a terrible track record with letting people into this house." "Oh, don't be that way, Tara." "Tara." "That is such a beautiful name." "As far as you're concerned, my name is:" ""That girl from Bon Temps, huh?" "Wonder how she's doing." "Too bad I can't get a hold of her anymore."" "Actually, I can get a hold of you any time I want." "Isn't that right, Tara?" "Yeah." "You wanted to come in?" "If you insist." "Come in." "Please." "[♪]" "Most impressive." "You won the trust of Russell Edgington himself." "A bravura performance." "I don't care what you believe." "My only loyalty is to my king." "Your only loyalty is to your own sentiment." "It's your great failing." "A century ago, it was to your human wife." "Now it's that ridiculous waitress." "You'll say anything to save her." "We can never love humans without bringing suffering upon them." "You taught me that... and I will never forgive you for it." "It's an essential truth, one you refused to face because you clung to the illusion of humanity." "You are right." "Is that what you wish to hear?" "You proved it to me once and now I've learned it again." "You have won." "You've deprived me of my freedom... and my home... my humanity." "But I will never, ever love you." "[BILL GRUNTS]" "Never!" "Never!" "[YELLING]" "[ROARS] Yes." "Make love to me." "Never." "I will never." "[LORENA MOANING]" "[YELLS]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Oh, William." "I so love you."
