Sookie[gasping, hurt] Am I dying?
No! She cannot die! You will save her!
LDr. Ludwig
Back off, vampire. Let me do my job!
Forgive him. Bill is abnormally attached to this human.
LDr. Ludwig
Well, we don't have a lot of choices. She's been poisoned. You ever heard of Komodo dragons? Their mouths are teeming with bacteria. After one has bitten you it will track you for hours, days just waiting for the toxins to slowly eat away at your nervous system. 'Til you're good and helpless. Then it will devour you alive.
Sookie
I was... scratched by a dragon?
LDr. Ludwig
No, but this poison is similar but way more efficient. I don't think I've seen it before but it's hard to tell without further testing and we don't have that kind of time.
Sookie
I used to get so mad when people judged vampires just for being different. It's like they were judging me too. I told myself their fear was nothing but small mindedness. But maybe that's what I wanted to believe. 'Cause the more open my mind gets, the more evil I see.
Sookie, most of us, vampire, human or otherwise are capable of both good and evil. Often simultaneously.
Sookie
You can't expect me to believe that Eric is capable of anything good. Not after how he tortured Lafayette.
I have had worse sheriffs.
Sookie
I don't understand how you can defend him.
Sookie
I can still hate him.
I hate that he maybe putting you in harm's way once again, for his own selfish reasons. And I hate that he has shown you the barbarousness we call justice. If I could glamour it away for you, I would.
Sookie
I'm glad you can't. I'm sick of things sneakin' up on me. Rene and what ever the hell that was that attacked me last night. If I'm never gonna be safe, I'd rather know what to be afraid of.
Well, after last night I hope that doesn't include me.
Sookie
I know there is evil in you. I know there is and it scares the hell outta me. But you're right. There's goodness in you too and when I look in your eyes, that's what I see.
Sookie
[chasing after Sam] I know it seems like I led you on, but cut me some slack. My grandmother had just been murdered, Rene was after 'me', and I didn't think Bill was ever comin' back.
[stopping] Christ, Sookie! I really don't have time for this.
Sookie
Well, if you care about our friendship I suggest you make time for it.
Look, I got serious shit I'm dealin' with right now. Makin' you feel better is not high on my list.
[after Hoyt leaves] We established there was to be no hunting in this house.
I know you feel like shit because you had to make me and you should feel like shit! But guess what? I'd never kissed a boy before that. Meetin' Hoyt is the only good thing that's happened to me since... my whole new life started. No, I'm not ready for any thing to happen to fast. I-I'd been happy just to go on kissin' him all night long... Is it my fault my fangs come out when I get turned on? [realizes what that means and runs up stairs]
Sookie
I think I'm gonna like her.
Sookie, do not make the mistake of thinkin' you two can be girlfriends. She is...
Sookie
Yeah, I get it. She's a vampire. Believe me, I learned my lesson about that.
BBarry
Why won't you leave me alone?
Sookie
Because I've never met another telepath. Have you?
BBarry
No and don't say that word.
Sookie
It's what you are. Nobody else knows what it's like to be us. We need to stick together. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
BBarry
Yes it is! My life is shit. I can't do anything normal people do. If I'm not around a bunch of vampires, I can't hardly think straight.
Sookie
I used to feel exactly the same. Like I had a disability.
BBarry
More like a curse.
Sookie
But lately since I met my boyfriend, it seems like telepathy can come in handy some times. You can even make a little money.
BBarry
Then you're even crazier than I am.
[waking up as she comes back to bed] I dreamed you were gone.
Sookie
You did?... That's funny, 'cause I was.
Sookie
It was only for a few minutes. I had to. Bill, it's the most amazin' thing. I met another telepath and he's not a vampire or very good at it. Oh, it's wonderful knowin' there's somebody besides me.
You made him aware of your gift after everything I've said?
Sookie
Not on purpose. We were in each other's heads before we knew it. I thought you'd be happy for me.
The more people know what you do, the harder it is for me to protect you.
Sookie
[about Barry] He can't even admit what he is to himself. He's not gonna do any talkin' about it.
Sookie
Yes, I can. I'm good at this. Look, if all we're supposed to do in Dallas is shut up and take orders, I might as well be slingin' beers at Merlotte's. You're the one who told me I was more than a waitress.
Sookie
What?
Sookie
Talk to me. Lean on me. I've leaned on you plenty.
Well, here I am responsible for you and Jessica. Yet no decisions are mine. It makes me feel...
Sookie
Like a human?
Sookie
You're walkin' in my shoes and it's givin' you blisters.
Eric is strangely intent about all this. It's not like him. I don't trust it.
Sookie
Don't you worry about Eric. We'll do the job and go home. A deal's a deal.
Sookie, you know what he's like. It's not like him to break a contract with a girl.
Sookie
A woman... he needs me. He won't wanna make me mad.
Sookie
You never will.
SStan
You should have told me Eric hired a fuckin' human, Isabel.
Sookie
Now wait just a minute.
[about Sookie] Respect her!
[to Stan] I couldn't tell you, Stan. You've been off on your own for days.
Are you certain Godric was abducted by the Fellowship of the Sun?
SStan
Yes! They're the only ones with the organization and man-power.
But they're amateurs. It doesn't make any sense. This is Godric we're talking about. Two-thousand years old.
SStan
Old don't make you smart.
Besides, there's no proof.
Sookie
If they've got him, I'll hear it. That's my job.
SStan
There's no reason to wait. We need to take these fanatics down. Full out attack. Exterminate them like the vermin they are.
Hmm, vampire hating church annihilated. Wonder who did it? Fucking brilliant!
I doubt the king of Texas would approve of the destruction of our international political agenda.
SStan
Fuck that. The great revelation is the biggest mistake we ever made.
Don't use Godric to make your own little power play.
You are completely incompetent! What's happened to Godric that he surrounds himself with clowns?
We invited you as a courtesy. This is not your territory. You have no voice here.
SStan
Yeah, sheriff. Why don't you run back on down to Louisiana. We don't need you or your puppets.
Sookie
I'm nobody's puppet!
It's not a plan, it's a movie!
[to Sookie about leaving the church] I could have you outta here in seconds.
Sookie
There's kids out there.
The other humans wouldn't think twice about hurting us.
Sookie
Why didn't you bring Bill with you?
His attachment to you is irrational. It clouds his judgment. He would kill every child in this church to save you.
Sookie
Why aren't you?
I'm following Godric's orders and getting you out. That's all.
Sookie
He's your maker, isn't he?
Don't use words you don't understand.
Sookie
You have a lot of love for him.
Don't use words I don't understand.
SStan
[entering the sanctuary with his vampires] 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
Oh god, no.
SStan
[to the other vampires] Destroy them, all of them.
[from the top altar, as the vamps swarm the sanctuary] Enough! You came for me, I assume. Underling?
[all movement stops]
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?
I will not negotiate with subhumans! Kill me. Do it. Jesus will protect me.
I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him, but I missed it. [to the armed congregation] Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness? [silence] That's what I thought. Stand down, everyone. People, go home. It's over now.
Sookie
Oh, thank god. Bill?
It's alright. You're safe now.
[walking up to Sookie] Hello there. I'm Lorena.
Sookie
Nice to meet you, I'm Sookie.
Hmmm, yes. You're what all the fuss is about.
Sookie
Excuse me?
Sookie
I'm sorry. Who are you?
Well, we have a mutual friend.
Sookie
Bill?
That's right. Funny he never mentioned me. I practically made him what he is today.
[walking into the room] Lorena!
Oh, hello darling. I was just getting to know your plaything. You always did like to prey on the innocent.
Sookie
Bill, is this your maker?
She released me years ago. She no longer has any hold over me.
Oh I wouldn't say that. We had two marvelous nights in your hotel room.
Sookie
What?
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
[to Bill] You did?
Lorena, you need to leave!
[to Sookie] I hope he doesn't pull the same shenanigans with you. There's no excuse for domestic violence.
What she has failed to mention is that she was holding me prisoner!
[chuckling] Cha! We were just catchin' up, is all.
[to Sookie as she sucks bullets from Eric] What are you doing?
Sookie
[spitting out a bullet with blood] I sucked silver out of Eric's chest and saved his life, even though I really didn't want to.
[reclining on the floor]...She was superb.
Sookie
W-what?
He was already healing. The bullets would've pushed themselves out. This way he's... forced you to drink his blood.
Sookie
No! No! No!
You're connected. He'll be able to sense your emotions.
Sookie
[to Eric] You big lying a-hole.
Bill, you're right. I believe I can sense her emotions. [Sookie smacks him in the chest and runs to Bill]...Sweet.
Sookie
[to Eric] I'll never do anything for you again! Monster!
[to Sookie] It's not your fault.
[running his hand down her arm, waking her as she turns to him] Finish your sentence.
Sookie
What was I saying?
You were telling me why you'd be a terrible vampire and I was disagreeing.
Sookie
Well, I don't feel right without a tan. [Eric laughs] It's true, and I'd rather be alive than undead. And then y'all are always killin'.
Sookie
That was for self defense, not for lunch.
Oh, you'd adapt. Like we all do. Trade the sun for the moon and stars.
Sookie
Uh uh. Not me. I want 'em all.
Sookie
Yeah, I am.
I love it. [kissing her hand] You have the right temperament for a vampire.
Sookie
Why? I'm high maintenance, blood thirsty, and old as dirt?
Ahh, blood thirsty, yeah.
Sookie
I am not.
Everybody thinks you're a darling, don't they?
Sookie
I am a darling.
Yeah, but you're ruthless when it comes to the people you love. You'd do anything for them. [kissing her] Your brother, your friends... me.
Sookie
[pulling away] Bill? Where's Bill?
[from the shadows] What do you care? You've already abandoned him.
Sookie
I have not. I love Bill.
[pulling her back] I used to think you had no sense of humor.
Sookie
I used to think you were made of cold, hard stone and empty inside.
Sookie
You're a big faker. You're deep. You feel. There's love in you.
Only for Sookie. [kissing her]
[to Sookie] You don't want Bill. He means nothing to you.
Sookie
No.
[pulling her to him] ... This is the beginning. [kissing her passionately]
[on the roof with Eric] Two thousand years is enough.
I can't accept this. It's insanity!
Our existence is insanity... we don't belong here.
It's not right. We're not right.
You taught me there was no right or wrong. Only survival or death.
I told a lie, as it turns out.
[stepping closer] I will keep you alive by force!
Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?
There are centuries of faith and love between us.
Please, please!... Please Godric!
Father... brother... child... Let me go.
I won't let you die alone.
Yes, you will. As your maker. I command you.
[Eric gets to his feet and walks to the stairs. Sookie reaches for him and he turns to her]
Sookie
I'll stay with him. As long as it takes. [Eric leaves]
It won't take long. Not at my age.
Sookie
You know it wasn't very smart. The Fellowship of Sun part.
I know. I thought it would fix everything some how. But I don't think like a vampire anymore... Do you believe in God?
Sookie
Yes.
If you're right, how will he punish me?
Sookie
God doesn't punish. God forgives.
I don't deserve it, but I hope for it.
Sookie
We all do.
You will care for him? Eric.
Sookie
I'm not sure. You know how he is.
I can take the blame for that too.
Sookie
[smiling softly] Maybe not. Eric's pretty much himself... Are you very afraid?
Sookie
But the pain?
Sookie
[starts crying] I-I'm afraid for you.
A human with me at the end, and human tears. Two thousand years... and I can still be surprised. In this I see God.
Sookie
[watches as he turns towards the sun and removes his shirt, holding his arms wide] ... Good-bye, Godric.
I'm goin' to Merlotte's and find out what the hell's happenin' on my turf!
Jason, if it is the same creature we think it might be, you don't wanna go any where near it. Trust me.
Mr. Compton, I ain't about to sit back and let some monster destroy my town.
Sookie
Jason, this would be one of 'those' times to use your head.
Oh I am. I ain't never been so clear in my whole life. This here, is the war I've been training for.
