Quotes 

• 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?

• 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?

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• Eric Northman : [to Sookie]  Trust me.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
