Evan Rachel Wood: Sophie-Anne Leclerq

Bad Blood

Sophie-Anne Leclerq

Magister: [entering the Fantasia with the Queen] Mr. Northman. I haven't seen you since the Bill Compton trial.
Eric Northman: Yes, it's been uh too long. May I ask what brings you to Fantasia?
Queen Sophie Anne: We need to talk. You should probably close up.
Eric Northman: You can just use my office.
Queen Sophie Anne: It's bugged.
Eric Northman: How do you know this?
Queen Sophie Anne: Because I'm the one who bugged it... It's how I know I can trust you.

Eric Northman: There's something I couldn't tell you infront of the Magister. Bill Compton has gone missing. Kidnapped perhaps.
Queen Sophie Anne: I don't care. Move the blood.
Eric Northman: He's the only vampire that knows about our arrangement. My side of it at least.
Queen Sophie Anne: Then I don't understand why we're even talking about him. Let him rot.

Magister: Trouble abounds in your fair state.
Eric Northman: Tell me.
Magister: It would seem your idyllic little home is competing to become the V capital of the world.
Queen Sophie Anne: Can you believe it? I am so embarrassed. Naturally I told the Magister that you were the only vampire in my kingdom that I could trust with this.
Eric Northman: Anything I can do to be of service.
Magister: Our blood is sacred. Wasting it on any thing but procreation is blasphemy.
Queen Sophie Anne: Madness.
Eric Northman: Desecration.
Magister: Have you noticed an uptake is users in your neck of the woods? Maybe even here in your club?
Eric Northman: I haven't. No.
Magister: See that surpises me. Because every other sheriff to whom I have spoken to has. The amounts are so great in fact, we can only assume a vampire is responsible.
Queen Sophie Anne: An act of self loathing so shameful that who ever is responsible should fall on his own stake.
Eric Northman: Respectfully, Magister, I'm not sure I follow your logic.
Magister: If your average run-of-the-mill drainers were behind this, it would stand to reason that said drainers would need vampires to drain; which means there would be missing vampires and plenty of them... How many vampires have gone missing in your area?
Eric Northman: None, magister.
Magister: So now, do you follow my logic.
Eric Northman: I do, and I will look into the matter.
Magister: Good, and I will expect results.

Queen Sophie Anne: When we do find the vampire responsible, how will you punish him?
Eric Northman: Or her?
Queen Sophie Anne: And will it be in public?
Magister: Of course when one who is proven guilty of such a crime must be made an example of. That kind of moral anarchy can not be allowed.

Queen Sophie Anne: Isn't moral anarchy kind of the point? I can't think of anything more depressing that living by the law forever.
Eric Northman: Your Highness, forgive me but I don't feel the same sense of relief you do.
Queen Sophie Anne: You don't think he believed us.
Eric Northman: Not entirely. No.
Queen Sophie Anne: Than I suggest you sell everything you have as soon as possible.

Queen Sophie Anne: The pigs at the IRS are breathing down my neck and I need money now. Sell the blood at half price if you have to. I don't care what it takes. Just move the product and cover our tracks.
Eric Northman: With all due respect, your highness, I fear you're not considering all the angles.
