Bill Compton quotes from True Blood

Bill

[to Jessica] Your bedtime will be at 4 a.m. and not a minute later. We also recycle in this house.

Bill

Since when has any fanatic been held back by the improbability of their righteous mission?

Bill

I realize that as as a law enforcement officer that you might feel feel the need to report this, but vampires killing humans is not something that I can afford to have documented.

Bill

I brought you here tonight so you could see for yourselves, I am no monster. I do not wish any of you harm but if you force me to defend myself again you will be sorry.

Bill

You were there too, Jess, burning in the sun, you were one of them. I don't know why, or how or when, but I saw it. You, Eric, Pam, Tara. So help me I will not lose you Jess, I will stop this.

Bill

I need your blood, Sookie. This is different, I promise. I'm not going to hurt you. There is a scientist who can synthesize your blood. I would prefer it if you came with me willingly but understand this you will be coming with me. This is what my progeny needs, this is what is demanded of me!

Bill

This blood, unlike normal human blood, has properties that very are special, magical even. Properties that can save vampire kind from extinction. And I need you to map the genetic code of this blood, to replicate it and synthesize it just like you did with human blood. Now let's not go down that road. Failure is not an option.

Bill

You're high! You drank four faeries, faerie blood makes vampires high.

Bill

You think about it, Lilith. You chose the wrong faerie and you died the true death because of your mistake. Everything going on here is all on you.

Bill

You know who Warlow is? He is both faerie and vampire. It is his blood that is allowing me to walk in the sun, not Lilith's. But if I am to stop that vision from becoming manifest we have to get him and take him with us.

Bill

The visions, they come to me as they come, I have no way of controlling what I see.

Bill

(to the Blood Sirens) I'm not going anywhere. Leave me alone, I did what you wanted me to do. Stay away from me!

Bill

Adylin I need you to listen to me. Your light, its source is nature to which you are closer than any other life form. You need to try to harness that inside yourself. Think about your blood, it nourishes you like dew on the grass.

Sookie

Hi, what can I - what can I get for you tonight?

Bill

Do you have any of that synthetic bottled blood?

Sookie

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] vampire.

Bill

Am I that obvious?

Sookie

I knew the minute you came in. I can't believe nobody else around here seems to.

Bill

[referring to Sam] He does.

Sookie

Oh, don't worry about Sam, he's cool. I know for a fact he supports the vampire rights amendment.

Bill

How progressive of him.

Sookie

Well, anything else you drink?

Bill

Actually, no. But you can get me a glass of red wine, so I have a reason to be here.

Sookie

Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad you are!

Bill

Aren't you afraid to be out here alone with a hungry vampire?

Sookie

No.

Bill

Vampires often turn on those who trust them, you know. We don't have human values like you.

Sookie

A lot of humans turn on those who trust them, too. [takes out a silver chain and wraps it around her neck] I'm not a total fool.

Bill

Oh, but you have other very juicy arteries. There is one in the groin that's a particular favorite of mine.

Sookie

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

You want to drink the blood they collected?

Sookie

[disgusted] No!

Bill

I understand it makes humans feel more healthy. Improves their sex life.

Sookie

I am as healthy as a horse, and I have no sex life to speak of, so ... you can just keep it.

Bill

You could always sell it.

Sookie

[firmly] I wouldn't touch it.

Bill

[leans in close] What are you?

Sookie

Well, I-I'm Soo-I'm Sookie Stackhouse, and I'm a waitress. What's your name?

Bill

Bill.

Sookie

[giggles] Bill? I thought it might be Antoine, or Basil, or - or like Langford, maybe. But Bill? Vampire Bill! [laughs]
