Stephen Moyer: Bill Compton

Strange Love

Bill Compton

Bill Compton: You want to drink the blood they collected?
Sookie Stackhouse: [disgusted] No!
Bill Compton: I understand it makes humans feel more healthy. Improves their sex life.
Sookie Stackhouse: I'm as healthy as a horse, and I have no sex life to speak of, so... you can just keep it.
Bill Compton: You could always sell it.
Sookie Stackhouse: I wouldn't touch it.
Bill Compton: [leans in close] What are you?
Sookie Stackhouse: Well, I-I'm-I'm Sookie Stackhouse, and I'm a waitress. What's your name?
Bill Compton: Bill.
Sookie Stackhouse: [giggles] Bill? I thought it might be Antoine, or Basil, or-or-or like Langford, maybe. But, Bill? Vampire Bill!
[laughs]

Sookie Stackhouse: I never thought I would be having sex with you. At least, not so fast.
Bill Compton: [flashes his fangs] Who said anything about sex?
[Sookie wakes up from her dream]

Bill Compton: Aren't you afraid to be out here alone with a hungry vampire?
Sookie Stackhouse: No.
Bill Compton: Vampires often turn on those who trust them, you know. We don't have human values like you.
Sookie Stackhouse: A lot of humans turn on those who trust them, too.
[wraps silver chain around her neck]
Sookie Stackhouse: I'm not a total fool.
Bill Compton: Oh, but you have other very juicy arteries. There is one in the groin that's a particular favorite of mine.
Sookie Stackhouse: Hey, you just shut your nasty mouth, mister! You might be a vampire, but when you talk to me, you will talk to me like the lady that I am!

Bill Compton: [leaning in close] Do you realize that every person in this establishment is staring at us right now?
Sookie Stackhouse: [shyly] Oh, their just staring at me because my brother is in some kind of trouble with the police. Bill, did you know Maudette Pickens?
Bill Compton: I did not. They are staring at us because I am a vampire and you... are mortal.
Sookie Stackhouse: Well, who cares what they think?
Bill Compton: Well, I want to make this town my home, so... I do.

Sookie Stackhouse: [after chasing off the Rattrays] Oh, bless your heart. I am so sorry I didn't get here faster. You'll be okay in a minute, right?... Do you want me to leave?
Bill Compton: No. They might come back and I can't fight yet.
Sookie Stackhouse: [a dog begins to bark and runs up to Sookie, licking her face] Oh! Hey, there, dog.
Bill Compton: He's checkin' on you.
Sookie Stackhouse: That's just some old dog that hangs around the bar sometimes. He must live nearby.
Bill Compton: [still staring at her] Oh, no doubt.
Sookie Stackhouse: [goes to remove the plastic tubing on his arm, and he quickly pulls his arm away] I reckon you're not too happy about being rescued by a woman.
Bill Compton: Thank you.
Sookie Stackhouse: [trys to read him] I can't hear you.
Bill Compton: [louder] Thank you.
Sookie Stackhouse: [kneels down and holds his head between her hands] No, no, no. I can hear you, but I can't... Oh, my stars.

Bill Compton: May I call on you sometime?
Sookie Stackhouse: Call on me?
Bill Compton: Um... may I come and visit with you at your home?
Sookie Stackhouse: Sure. My grandmother would love to meet you. Oh! That reminds me. Can I talk to you after work? I have a favor to ask you.
Bill Compton: Of course. After all, I am in your debt.
Sookie Stackhouse: Not a favor for me, for my grandmother. If, if you'll be up... well, I guess you will be. Would you mind meetin' me around the back of the bar when I get off at... probably around 1:30?
Bill Compton: I'd be delighted.

Sookie Stackhouse: Your hand is cool.
Bill Compton: Yes. Uh, I'm afraid I'm not as warm as the men that you must be accustomed to.
Sookie Stackhouse: What men?
[blushes]
Sookie Stackhouse: So, what can I get for you tonight?
Bill Compton: What are you?
Sookie Stackhouse: I told you. I'm a waitress.
Bill Compton: No. You're something more than that. You're something more than human.
Sookie Stackhouse: [giggles] I beg your pardon?
Bill Compton: Sookie... that's an unusual name, Sookie. Is it short for something else?
Sookie Stackhouse: Nope. Just... just plain Sookie.

Sookie Stackhouse: What can I get for you tonight?
Bill Compton: Do you have any of that synthetic bottled blood?
Sookie Stackhouse: No, I'm-I'm so sorry. Sam got some a year ago, but nobody ever ordered it, so it went bad. You're our first.
[whispers]
Sookie Stackhouse: Vampire.
Bill Compton: Am I that obvious?
Sookie Stackhouse: I knew the minute you came in. I can't believe nobody else around here seems to.
Bill Compton: [referring to Sam] He does.
[Sam is looking at Sookie and Bill]
Sookie Stackhouse: Oh, don't worry about Sam, he's cool. I know for a fact he supports the Vampire Rights Amendment.
Bill Compton: How progressive of him.
Sookie Stackhouse: Well, anything else you drink?
Bill Compton: Actually, no. But you can get me a glass of red wine, so I have a reason to be here.
Sookie Stackhouse: Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad you are!
