“Scratches” · Season 2, Episode 3

In this episode: Sookie Stackhouse (4), Bill Compton (4), Eric Northman (2), Jessica Hamby (1), Tara Thornton (1), Maryann (1)

[to Sookie] Are you still angry about our fight? Sookie, none of that matters anymore.

You're right. I'm alive and in one piece. Unlike my friend Lafayette who Eric chained up like an animal and left to bleed to death.

What?

You better not have known anything about this, Bill Compton. Because if you did, I don't think I could ever forgive you!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[behind them] I imagine she's referring to the human in my basement... The human who traded sexual services with a vampire in order to sell his blood - which as you know is a grave offense.

[to Eric] His name is Lafayette and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to him. [slaps him]

Sookie!

I'm glad you're feeling better and may I add that color suits you very well. [referring to her red shirt]

Go to hell!

[holding her back] Sookie! Enough!

Oh it's not nearly enough. They've tortured him and bitten him and shot him and kept him down there in his own filth for weeks.

[to Eric] Is this true?

There are others who would have done far worse and you know it.

You're gonna let him go right now or I swear, I'm going to the police.

[angry, draws his fangs] I do not respond well to threats!... But perhaps we could come to some sort of arrangement.

[to Sookie, about Jessica] You undermined my authority as her maker! You risked those people's safety and your own! If I had not glamoured them with in an inch if their sanity, both our lives would have shattered!

I know. I'm sorry!

You keep sayin' that and I am expected to what? Forget this ever happened?

What else do you want me to say? I know when she asked me to take her, I should say no. But all I could think about was Gran and what I would give to see her again.

That does not give you license to behave like an irresponsible child! She is a loaded gun, Sookie. Not a doll for you to dress up and play with!

[upset, Sookie gets out of the car, slamming the door as she moves away]

What are you doing?

Walking!

Don't be ridiculous. Bon Temps is nearly 20 miles away!

[walking away] I'd rather walk all night then spend another second in that car with you!

[to Bill, after he gets back in the car] She wants you to go after her. She wants you to go after her and kiss her and tell her that you love her.

She will come back, when she calms down... she will come back.

[gasping, hurt] Am I dying?

LDr. Ludwig

Yes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't understand how you can defend him.

He saved your life.

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.

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.

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.

Maryann, why does Sam hate you?

Sam hates me?

He practically jumped down my throat after you left last night. Kept saying I need to stay away from you. Why would he say that?

Well I mean, I barely know the man. But if I had to guess, I'd say jealousy. You two have a history, don't you?

Yeah. But we're better as friends than we ever were sleepin' together. We both know that.

Tara, you're still not valuing yourself. You are a fantastic woman. Sam lost you. He's just looking for someone to blame.

But why you?

Because you've moved on and hopefully, I've been apart of making that happen. Sam seems like a sensible, wonderful guy. But all my instincts scream unevolved.

[laughing] You're right. That man has way too many issues.

And they're not your problem. Unlike Carl, you've done enough of taking care of people to last a lifetime.
