- Sookie Stackhouse: [In reference to Godric] He's your maker, isn't he?
- Eric Northman: Don't use words you don't understand.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You have a lot of love for him.
- Eric Northman: Don't use words I don't understand.
- Eric Northman: Why wouldn't you leave when I first came for you?
- Godric: They didn't treat me badly. You'd be shocked at how ordinary most of them are.
- Eric Northman: They do nothing but fan the flames of hatred for us.
- Godric: Let's be honest. We are frightening. After thousands of years we haven't evolved. We only grow more brutal, more predatory. I don't see the danger in treating humans as equals. The Fellowship of the Sun arose because we never did so.
- Eric Northman: Is that why you wouldn't fight when they took you?
- Godric: I could have killed every last one of them with in minutes. And what would that have proven?
- Jason Stackhouse: I'm alive. Holy shit. God saved me. I'm saved.
- Sarah Newlin: Oh, for heaven's sake, grow a brain cell. Paintballs!
- 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.
- Jason Stackhouse: I just wanna say I'm real sorry for what the Fellowship put you through.
- Godric: You helped save many lives today, Mr. Stackhouse. Please know you have friends in this area when ever you visit.
- Jason Stackhouse: Thanks, but I don't know I'll be wantin' to come back any time soon.
- Godric: [catching her by the throat] Retract... your fangs. Now. I neither know or care who you are. But in this area and certainly in this nest, I am the authority. Do you understand?
- Lorena: Yes sheriff.
- Godric: [about Sookie] This human has proven to be a courageous and loyal friend to our kind. And yet you treat her like a child does a dragonfly. Pulling off wings for sport. No wonder they hate us.
- Lorena: She provoked me.
- Godric: And you have provoked me. You have disrupted the peace in my own home. I could snap you like a twig and I haven't. Why is that?
- Lorena: It's your choice.
- Godric: Indeed it is. You're an old vampire. I can tell. You've had hundreds of years to better yourself, yet you are still a savage. I fear for us all, humans and vampires, if this behavior persists.
- Rev. Steve Newlin: You know nothing. On the final day of reckoning we'll see who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.
- Jason Stackhouse: I reckon I've already been to heaven, and it was inside your wife.
- Eric Northman: [catching Jason] Hail the conquering hero.
- Jason Stackhouse: Oh no. I'm no hero.
- Eric Northman: Well you are in this town. But in my area, we know you well as a buyer and user of vampire blood.
- Jason Stackhouse: Yeah, listen. I don't do that any more.
- Eric Northman: All things considered, however, we'll call it even. You won't be doing it again.
- Jason Stackhouse: Yes... no, no!
- Eric Northman: Good boy. Run along.
- 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.
- Lorena: [to Sookie] Did you know your boyfriend hit me over the head with a 52 inch plasma television earlier tonight? Everyone says they're so thin and light, but let me tell you, when wielded properly, they're quite a weapon.
- Sarah Newlin: You're worse than Judas!
- Jason Stackhouse: Why? What'd he do to you?
- Sarah Newlin: [She rolls her eyes] Fuck you!
- [She shoots him in the crotch with a paintball gun]
- Godric: [to Eric] You are a fool for sending humans after me.
- Eric Northman: I had no choice. These savages... they seek to destroy you.
- Godric: I am aware of what they have planned.
- [to Sookie, about Hugo]
- Godric: This one betrayed you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: He's with the Fellowship. They set a trap for us.
- Eric Northman: [to Godric] How long has it been since you fed?
- Godric: I require very little blood anymore.
- [an alarm sounds in the church]
- Godric: Save the human.
- [to Sookie]
- Godric: Go with him.
- Eric Northman: I am not leaving your side until you are...
- Godric: I can take care of myself.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Come on! We have to go.
- Godric: Spill no blood on your way out. Go!
- Sarah Newlin: You came to prey on me. To ruin the sacred vow I made to my husband and then, like a coward, you ran!
- Jason Stackhouse: No, I didn't... Okay, I ran. But it wasn't from you. It was from your husband and his crazy weapon collection. Why'd you have to go and tell him?
- Sarah Newlin: Tell him? I didn't have to tell him anything. He's the one who told me!
- Jason Stackhouse: [getting to his feet] Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Told you what?
- Sarah Newlin: There are wolves in our hen house. We must defend our flock.
- Jason Stackhouse: What's that got to do with...
- Sarah Newlin: We have your sister!
- Jason Stackhouse: Sookie's in the church?
- Sarah Newlin: She came in yesterday, spoutin' the same lies you told!
- Jason Stackhouse: Now you listen to me. She's got nothin' to do with this.
- Sarah Newlin: You Stackhouses... you're nothin' but a buncha heartless, two-faced vampire fuckers!
- Jason Stackhouse: [shoves her down] Don't you ever talk about my sister like that! If I find out any of you so much as touched her, I'm gonna come back here and it won't be with no fuckin' paint gun!
- [drives away in the cart]
- Eric Northman: [to Sookie about their escape] I can have you outta here in seconds.
- Sookie Stackhouse: There's kids out there.
- Eric Northman: The other humans wouldn't think twice about hurting us.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Why didn't you bring Bill with you?
- Eric Northman: His attachment to you is irrational. It clouds his judgment. He would kill every child in this church to save you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Why aren't you?
- Eric Northman: I'm following Godric's orders and getting you out of here. That's all.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [to the armed congregation] Let us leave! Save yourselves! No one has to die!
- Steve Newlin: The war has begun, you evil whore of Satan. You vampires cast the first stone by killin' my family! The lines have been drawn. You're either with us or against us. We are prepared for armageddon.
- Sookie Stackhouse: The vampire you were holding got away. He's a sheriff. He's bound to send for help.
- Steve Newlin: I'm not concerned with Godric. Any vampire will do for our grand celebration and we've got one right here.
- [Eric]
- Eric Northman: [to Sookie] I'll be fine.
- Steve Newlin: [gleefully] Brothers and sisters, there will be a holy bonfire at dawn.
- Lorena: [to Bill] This human act you do for your girlfriend is charmin' and all. But we both know better.
- Tara Thornton: [eating the soufflé] Well damn. What is in that? Is that the rabbit you caught?
- Maryann Forrester: [wickedly] Among other things.
- 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.
- Isabel: [hauling Hugo in front of Godric] Here is the one who betrayed us.
- Godric: Hugo... he is your human, is he not?
- Isabel: Yes, he is.
- Godric: Do you love him?
- Isabel: [sobbing] I-I thought I did.
- Godric: [looking between them] It appears you love him still.
- Isabel: I do. I'm sorry. But you are my sheriff. Do with him as you please.
- Godric: [to Hugo] You are free to go.
- Stan: [furious] What?
- Godric: The human is free to go...
- [to Hugo]
- Godric: And do not return. I fear it is not safe for you here.
- Stan: This is a travesty!
- Godric: This is my verdict.
- 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.
- Sam Merlotte: Listen, I know everyone says it, but I'm really not the guy you want.
- Sheriff Bud Dearborne: If it's like you said, that there's something out there that's fixin' to get you, than jail's about the safest place to spend the night.
- [locking the holding cell]
- 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.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: [after Bill catches Hoyt and Jessica in bed] I don't know what you heard but those were screams of pleasure!
- [turns to Jessica]
- Hoyt Fortenberry: Right?
- Detective Andy Bellefleur: Sam's not the one you want, he's the victim. I saw him nearly get killed last night.
- Sheriff Bud Dearborne: By who?
- Detective Andy Bellefleur: The bull!
- Deputy Kenya Jones: The what?
- Deputy Kenya Jones: Oh, Andy.
- [to Kenya]
- Deputy Kenya Jones: He thinks he saw some kind of bull.
- Detective Andy Bellefleur: With *claws*. A bull. In a dress. With claws!
- Detective Andy Bellefleur: I tried to fight 'em off, but...
- [pauses and lifts his broken left arm in a cast]
- Detective Andy Bellefleur: ... war wound.
- [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.
- Eric Northman: I'm following Godric's orders, and getting you out. That's all.
- Sookie Stackhouse: He's your Maker, isn't he?
- Eric Northman: Don't use words you don't understand.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You have a lot of love for him.
- Eric Northman: Don't use words *I* don't understand.
- Rev. Steve Newlin: You see? Justice as our Lord our Savior was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, a few ounces of silver can betray a child of Satan to the world!
- Sookie Stackhouse: That doesn't make any sense!
- [to the crowd]
- Sookie Stackhouse: How can you people listen to him?
- Sam Merlotte: Listen, y'all have to trust me. This is bigger and crazier than you can even imagine.
- Deputy Kenya Jones: I'll say... This is the second time in 2 weeks a woman's been found in your bar with her heart missing.
- Sheriff Bud Dearborne: And the third time a waitresses of yours has ended up dead.
- Sam Merlotte: Oh Come on! That was Rene Lenier! You can't use that against me!
- Jane Bodehouse: [In Jail] Hey, Sam. Join the party.
- Sam Merlotte: What the f...?
- Jane Bodehouse: I'd come down and give you a hug, but I lost my pants.
- Deputy Kenya Jones: Yeah, it's been a hell of a night. Must be a full moon.
- Sam Merlotte: Pretty sure it's not. Mike? What'd they arrest you for?
- Mike Spencer: Sodomy
- Sam Merlotte: *What*?
- Mike Spencer: Yeah they say I... I sodomized a pine tree.
- Sam Merlotte: What'd you do that for?
- Mike Spencer: I don't know. Must have blacked out, but it's gotta be true. My pecker's got all kinds of scratches on it...
