Quotes 

• Sookie Stackhouse : [after his flashback]  You and Godric were in the SS?

  Eric Northman : We posed as what would ever help us in our search.

  Sookie Stackhouse : But your were hunting Nazi werewolves?

  Eric Northman : The symbol is runic. This pack dates back a lot further than the Nazi party.

  Sookie Stackhouse : So they're not Nazis?

  Eric Northman : Oh, they're much more than that. These are not ordinary werewolves. They're organized, well funded and highly trained. They're fuelled by vampire blood.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Why didn't you tell me this last night?

  Eric Northman : Bigger question is, why am I risking everything to tell you now? My loyalty is not to Bill. In fact it would be advantageous for me in numerous ways if he were never found. But...

  Sookie Stackhouse : But?

  Eric Northman : Now they're coming for you and... I owe you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : And you said you were risking everything to tell me. What does that mean?

  Eric Northman : The goal tonight was to keep you out of danger, not put you in more of it.

  [gets up and walks to the door] 

  Sookie Stackhouse : Eric, you can't just say something like that, then-then leave.

  Eric Northman : Oh, I'm not leaving. You're going to invite me in, so I can protect you or have passionate primal sex with you... how about both?

  Sookie Stackhouse : You're not going to distract me by talking nasty.

  Eric Northman : I already have. So... are you going to invite me in?

  Sookie Stackhouse : I'm still Bill's.

  Eric Northman : [looking down at the ring]  So you are.

• Eric Northman : Here's what I know about werewolves. There's a reason their exsistance has remained merely a myth to humans for thousands of years. They're territorial, vicious, and pathologically secretive.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [beat]  Boy does that sound familiar.

  Eric Northman : And here's what I know about you. You're so blinded by your obsession with Bill Compton, you're likely to run through the streets screaming werewolf. By alerting who ever has Bill that we're on to him or getting yourself killed.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You think I'm that stupid?

  Eric Northman : No, I think you're human.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Don't underestimate me.

  Eric Northman : Don't underestimate yourself! Your life is too valuable to throw away!

• Eric Northman : You have no connections in the Were community. They're not going to answer your questions because they don't even want you to know they exist.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Bill's out there somewhere in danger. I can't just go on with my life like that's not happening. You know that, maybe better than anyone. When Godric went missing...

  Eric Northman : [interupts]  Bill Compton is no Godric!

  Sookie Stackhouse : [starts sobbing]  He's everything to me.

  Eric Northman : Please don't do that. It makes me feel disturbingly human.

  Sookie Stackhouse : I risked my life to help you find Godric. And I don't expect you to do the same for Bill. But at the very least I hope you'll help me if you can.

• Eric Northman : [pacing the porch, teasingly]  To have and to hold. To love and to cherish. To blah blah blah blah. Till death do you part. Doesn't bother you that you'll be the only one doing the dying?

  Sookie Stackhouse : I'm not going to talk about this with you.

  Eric Northman : Okay... So you'd really rather stay out here all night than invite me in?

  Sookie Stackhouse : One minute you lie to me, the next minute you ask me to trust you. You do something generous and selfless. And then follow that with something nasty or down right cruel.

  Eric Northman : [suddenly alert and rushing her to the door]  Invite me in.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You can't just bully your way in.

  Eric Northman : [drawing his fangs]  Invite me in. Now!

  Sookie Stackhouse : Mr. Northman, would you please come in.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [about the symbol]  It's stands for Operation Werewolf. Some kind of secret Nazi commando force from World War II.

  Eric Northman : And you found this branded on a dead man's neck?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Bill summoned Jessica there. I think he was trying to show us who kidnapped him.

  Jessica Hamby : Yeah, Nazi werewolves!

  Sookie Stackhouse : That dead man was strong and fast enough to take Bill. I was hoping you could tell us more.

  Eric Northman : Never seen it before. Sorry.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Why do I get the feeling you're blowing me off?

• Eric Northman : [about the werewolves as she opens the door]  They came for you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Just one this morning. He took off before I could get anything out of him. That why you're here? Or do you know something about Bill?
