Maenads are sad, silly things. The world changed centuries ago and they're still waiting for the God who comes.
Of course not. Gods never actually show up. They only exist in humans' minds, like money and morality.
If I can't kill her, how do I get her to leave Bon Temps?
She has to believe that she successfully summoned forth Dionysus in hopes that he will ravish her and quite literally devour her until she's lost into oblivion.
So she seeks death? The true death. The one thing she has evolved beyond.
Ironic, isn't it? You know they're really not that smart, these maenads.
So how does she summon this non-existent god of hers?
I never said he was non-existent. I just said he never comes. She believes if she finds the perfect vessel, sacrifices and devours part of him or her, plus surrounded by the magic of her familiars than her mad god will appear. At that point when she willingly surrenders herself to him...
That's the only point she can be killed.
That was really quite desperate of you: tricking her into drinking your blood, so that she became attracted to you.
Unlike you, who fed her your own blood the very night you met…
So you're not denying it?
[tranced out] Baby! Where you been? I-I was so scared. Don't you ever leave me again, okay?
I won't, I promise. I love you. We gotta get you outta here, okay? Let's go somewhere else, please. [he doesn't move] Listen to me.
[from behind her] But everything you want is right here. I knew you'd come.
No. I don't know what you are, but I want out!
Oh, it's too late for that.
You made me eat somebody's heart!
And you loved it. Admit it.
You don't want us. You want Sam. we ain't got nothin' to do with it.
Nothing to do with it? 'You' summoned 'me'.
That night in the woods with that unfortunate pharmacist. You saw me. Well you saw 'you' through me. (flashes back to the fake exorcism)
But Miss Jeanette was a fake. She scammed people by makin' up crazy rituals.
Ooh, a ritual is a powerful thing and calling forth that kind of energy... has consequences.
Sadly no. I should've known she wasn't the vessel, but you have to try every option, ya know?
Why should I help you... shifter?
Because I need your help. We need it. And hopefully some day I might be able to give you something you need.
Can you give me Sookie Stackhouse?
Well that's a shame. That would be a tribute I would not soon forget.
[irate] I'm not here to give you tribute, Eric.
No, you're here to request my help based on a hypothetical future in which you return the favor... But you are known not to be to friendly towards those like me. Why should I trust you?
Because until somebody starts trusting somebody, we're all single targets just ripe for the picking.
[about children] You make me so happy I never had any o' you.
Aw, c'mon Pam, they're funny. They're like humans, but miniature. Teacup humans.
I hate them. They're so stupid.
