SookieYou know perfectly well why I smell the way I smell.
Like wheat and honey and sunlight.
SookieEric, I am not in the mood.
What are you?
Sookie[interrupts Eric speaking Swedish] English.
Her eyes. Her cold, empty eyes. They were reaching into me, emptying me.
SookieOkay.
And it was her, but it wasn't her. She was in a circle, chanting, and everything I was was taken from me.
SookieOkay. I'll help you deal with this, but there are some grounds rules that will not be broken or you're on your own. You do not touch me, and you most certainly do not bite me. Oh, forget it.
I swear.
SookieEric.
I swear it.
SookieAll right. Let's go.
Wow. This really is my house.
SookieYeah, but not for long.
You live here? In my house?
SookieYes.
Are you mine?
SookieNo!
Do you belong to another vampire?
SookieNo.
Would you like to be mine?
SookieNot really, but thank you for asking.
[drunkenly] Hey. [stumbles forward] Want...
SookieQuit.
I want more.
SookieYou can't have any more. There isn't any more. You drank the whole fairy and you're going to your room!
Drink...you. [leans in to bite her]
SookieEric, you'll kill me, no!
[pulls back] I would never harm you. [retracts fangs]
SookieYou better not. [covers neck] Come on, I'll lock you in.
[chuckles, then speeds in front of her, pinching her butt on the way]
SookieHey! Did you just pinch my butt?!?
[circles around her, smilng] Beautiful butt.
SookieWell, thanks, but hands off. [he does it again, laughing] I said... You're drunk!
[leans in] Catch me! [speeds off]
SookieGet back here! [he speeds back, laughing] I'm trying to help you, you can't do this. Get back in the house right now.
[speeds around, then sneaks up behind her] Never.
SookieIt'll be dawn soon!
I don't care. [speeds off]
SookieEric can daywalk some with the fairy blood, but it makes him drunk as a skunk. He's hammered, and who knows how long he starts to fry. [Alcide-wolf stops by the water] There's no time to rest, we gotta keep moving. Alcide, I know you don't like him, but Pam'll kill me if he dies.
[bursts out of the water, in full daylight] Hey Sookie! Where've you been? Come, come play with me, it's wonderful here. I am Ægir, god of the sea, and you are Rán, my sea goddess.
SookieThere's big gators in there, you crazy Viking! Get on out and let's go home before one of them chomps off your you-know-what.
Leave the sun and the water? Nope, I'll just kill all the sea monsters! Gators! [taunts]Krokodiler! Show yourselves!
[shifts back into human] He really is different.
[roars, fangs out] Get away from her!
Fuck you, she wants me here!
SookieEric, this is Alcide. He's our friend, he's gonna help you. You don't wanna fight him.
Yes, I do. Now, prepare to die, you stinking dog.
Take a shot, you dumb shit fanger.
SookieGrow up, you giant babies! [both growl] Alcide, stop making that noise. Eric, put up those fangs and do what I say!
[starts to sizzle and smoke] Ahh, I don't feel so good.
Sookie[walks into water] Now will you listen to me?
Sookie, I hurt. My blood is burning.
SookieI know, I know. You gotta get...vamp speed. [walking him out of the water/sun]
I don't wanna go back to the dark. I wanna st...I wanna...Sookie, I don't wanna...
I don't wanna go to sleep.
SookieYou have to rest. You got all burned up today. Let me check. Everything healed. Now, lay down and close your eyes.
No, no.
SookieIf you stay awake, you're gonna start bleeding all over the place.
I know what the bleeds are.
SookieFine, then you can clean it up. I'm not a maid. [starts to leave]
Stay with me. Please.
SookieCan't - human stuff to do.
Oh.
SookieYou're too quiet. This isn't like you.
Yes, it is.
SookieNo, it's not. The real Eric --
I am real.
SookieYes, you are. I meant the Eric with his memories. Not much gets him down. Sure, he's a rascal and a troublemaker, and most of the time I'd like to smack the smile off his face, but he's a happy vampire.
I'll never swim in the sun again. Never feel the heat on my skin. Never see the daylight in your hair.
SookieWell, the nighttime's not so bad. You've still got the stars in the sky.
Don't. I'm not a child.
SookieI wish I knew what to say to make you feel better.
You think I'm weak.
SookieNo.
You want the Eric who doesn't feel.
SookieIt's not that.
If you kiss me, I promise to be happy.
Sookie[smiles] No.
[smiles back] Why? it's only a kiss.
[Eric sneaks into Sookie's bedroom. She wakes with a start to see him leaning over her, fangs out, and he pulls back.]
SookieEric, what the hell?!
Uh...I had a bad dream.
I don't know why I'm crying.
SookieGodric was your maker. You loved him. You miss him.
He said I was evil.
SookieIt was a dream [she strokes his hair]
[turns to face her] Am I evil?
SookieWell, you're not Gandhi, but no, you're not evil.
[lays his head in her lap] I like being next to you. [she laughs] Why are you laughing?
SookieIt's just that if someone had told me a week ago I'd be curled up in bed with Eric Northman, stroking his hair, I woulda...
You would've what?
SookieIt's just...you weren't always like this.
Like what?
SookieGentle. Sweet. But it suits you. It's what Godric would've wanted. To see you like this. He was the most human of all the vampires I've ever met.
Strange to miss someone you don't remember. Would it be alright if I stayed here till sunrise?
SookieAs long as you promise to keep your hands and your fangs to yourself.
I promise. [He turns and she lies next to him. He takes her arm and wraps it around himself.] I will never hurt anyone as beautiful as you.
Did I really do all those terrible things your friend said I did?
SookieYes.
Then your pain is my fault. Why are you letting me stay with you?
SookieBecause there's more to you. I always knew there was decency in you. Even when you were a smug sarcastic ass, I still knew it.
Whether decency is in me is irrelevant. I'm clearly capable of extreme cruelty.
SookieYou were, but I wouldn't be here with you right now, I swear it, if I didn't know in my heart you could change. I've seen you change. And I like it. I like you.
There's a light in you. It's beautiful. I couldn't bear it if I snuffed it out. [gets up and leaves]
Sookie[goes after him] Eric! Please don't go.
[He walks back to the porch, and she holds her arms out for a hug. They embrace, breathing each other in, as he strokes her hair. She kisses him softly on the cheek, then they begin to kiss passionately.]
[Sookie walks in on Jason handcuffed to his bed]
SookieI should've known. This is a sex thing, isn't it?
No! Don't come any closer!
[Sookie continues to walk toward Jason]
SookieYou on V again?
No, dammit, listen to me! Get out of here. Now! It ain't safe Sook, I mean it. I'm dangerous.
SookieOkay look, I've had a hell of a mornin', and my patience is running pretty thin. So you're going to tell me what's going on here, or I will fish it out of your head myself. Your choice.
I think...I'm turning into a were-panther.
SookieA were-what?
Panther. [Sookie laughs] It's like a were-wolf, except a big ass cat. I got bit, and stuff by my psycho ex-girlfriend and her were-panther tribe, and they said I would turn into one of them on the full moon.
SookieSo you handcuffed yourself to the bed?
Yeah.
SookieBut if you turn into a panther, won't the handcuffs just fall off?
Shit, I never thought of that. Sookie, listen to me, you gotta get out of here now because I ain't never forgive myself if I bite your head off.
SookieSookie: We left our clothes in the woods.
You want me to go get them?
SookieDon’t you dare move!
SookieWhy is there a bed?
Can we make love in it?
SookieI can't change who I love. Lord knows I've tried.
Try harder.
Sookie[looking down at Pam and Tara in the newly dug hole in the ground] Aren't you supposed to be holding her or something?
Back off all right! I've done this before.
Oh thank the fucking lord for that.
It's not to say it ended especially well.
SookieHey, we had deal. This ain't gonna work if you don't try.
I am wearing a Wal-Mart sweatsuit for y'all. That's not demonstration of team spirit, I don't know what is.
