You killed a vampire, Bill. For a human. What do I do about this?
What did you have in mind?
No!... You can have anyone you want. Why do you want her?
Why do you want her? You're not in love with her, are you?
[incensed] Sookie must be protected.
That sounds like an edict. But it couldn't be, because I would know about that. Admit it... you love her.
If I had not done what I did, would you have let his disloyalty stand? [about LongShadow]
Whatever I would have done to LongShadow I would not have done in front of witnesses. Especially not vampire witnesses. Not smart, Bill. Not smart at all.
[handing Sookie a leather outfit] Put these on.
Oh, thank you. But I'm fine really. I'm just gonna dry out my hair and be on my way.
You're not going anywhere. Eric and your boyfriend aren't nearly done talking just yet.
Is... Bill is some kind of trouble?
That's for the boys to figure out. Right now what you need to do is change out of your clothes... there's vampire in your cleavage.
[looks down and gasps] Okay. Eeww!
Allow me. [takes the bloody piece out]
I'm beginin' to understand the fuss everyone's makin' over you.
[about Eddie] All I'm sayin' is Lafayette didn't have to kidnap him and I'm pretty sure he left with some V.
Hey! If you wanna make the same arrangement with Eddie as Lafayette, than have at it. This was the only thing I could think of to get you out of blowin' your first vampire.
You've done this before, haven't you?
This! Kidnappin' vampires!
Jason, baby. You're sweet but you've gotta mellow out.
[in bed with Sookie after finding the cat dead] Aren't you tired?
Every time I close my eyes, I see her face.
Gran. But now that you mention it, Tina's in there too.
You do know I'm not going to let anything happen to you. That I am here for you, to protect you.
What if I don't need to be protected? What if wanting to be protected makes me feel like the helpless little girl I used to be all over again?
Sookie... all of the things that you need to be protected from, all of the trouble you're in, you are in because of me. So you needing to be protected has nothing to do with you or who you are. All of it is my fault... So why don't you go to sleep and let me be the one to worry about it.
Bill, all the trouble I'm in, it's mine. I chose it. I chose it when I chose you.
Don't you think I wanna blame somebody else? But what happen to my gran and poor Tina is my fault and it's sweet of you to try to take it all from me. But if I let you, I'd be so mad at you, I would never be able to look at you again. And right now your face is the only thing getting me by. So why don't we just leave it on me, okay?
[pause, accepting] Very well.
Hey you. Listen, are you alright?
Sometimes I wish I smoked, so you could sneak outside without anybody knowing something's wrong with you.
Okay. I'm really sorry about your cat.
Maybe I shouldn't have come in today.
Yeah, I was gonna say why did you?
I don't know. Maybe cause lately it seems like if I called in sick every time someone I love got murdered, I'd never make it in for a single day of work.
Don't you think Sam would understand?
I guess. But if I went home, what would you do?
Me? What's it got to do with me?
Arlene doing nothin' but showin' off her ring to anybody who will look at it, you be the only one waiting tables.
Yeah, she's gonna be a handful, that one.
Don't you imagine what she was like the first time she got married?... What about you? You ever been married?
Is this the part where the sister asks what the girls intentions are with her brother?
Hm-mm. Cause right now I am all about protecting Jason.
He misses you, Sookie. He does. Between your grandma passing and what happened afterwords with you.
He couldn't not. He's a mess about it.
Well you wouldn't know it.
Look, I know what you must think of him and I get why you're mad at him. I do and he loves you. You got people around who love you and all I can hope is that maybe one day I can be counted in among those people.
You are way too good for him. You know that, right?
Of course, I know that. I'm not stupid.
