[Bill is trying to explain to Jessica what's happened to her]
You drank from me. Your blood was replaced with mine. And then I shared my essence with you when we slept together in the ground. [Jessica makes a face at him]
Eww...
No, no, not intercourse!
[scoffs] You just said "intercourse".
It's tradition. It's part of the process. It's--it's magical. Even we don't fully understand how it works.
Yeah? Well all I know is, staying out all night like this? My daddy's gonna whup you good. Mister, you better get me home right now. [tries to walk away; Bill grabs her and makes her sit down]
Jessica, stop!
No!
Stop!
Why?
Because we need to talk.
[sarcastically] Why?
Because there are things you must learn.
Why?
Because you are no longer human.
Why?
Because as I've been trying to explain to you at length, you have been made vampire!
[shocked] ...Why?
Because you were unlucky. Because life and death are unfair. Because of me. You cannot go home. That part of your life is over.
[crestfallen] No more momma and daddy? [beat] No more little sister?
[puts a hand on Jessica's cheek] I'm sorry. No.
No more belts. [smiles] No more clarinets! No more...homeschool! No more rules! [Jessica screams and does a happy dance] I'M A VAMPIRE! [exhales] WOW! [walks off]
No! No! No! There are rules! That's what I've been trying to teach you!
Crap on your rules! Crap, crap, crap! Oh I can say anything I want now! Shit, shit, shit, damn, hell, fuck! "Fuck", that's a bad word! Fuck, fuck, fuck! Oh, what's another cuss word so I can say it? I'm a damn vampire! [twirls around]
If you calm down, I will teach you what being a vampire means.
I'm not stupid! I can read! I know what it means!
Very well then. Why don't you tell me.
It means that I don't have to sit like a lady. And I can kill anybody I want. And there's an awful lot of people I'd like to kill.
No, Jessica, you absolutely cannot kill anybody you want.
[pouting] But why?! Why?! I want to kill them.
With your new powers come new responsibilities. [Jessica moans] You are gonna mainstream like I did. You can almost exactly the same life as you did before, except you'll be awake at night.
I want to kill people. And I'm so hungry and all you do is talk and I'm starving and you are so mean! You're supposed to take care of me, that's what you said! And no, you suck! [laughs] That's funny, 'cause you do suck. [Bill grabs a bottle from his four-pack of Tru Blood]
Here, drink this, it might make you feel more steady, I hope. [Jessica takes a swig of Tru Blood and immediately spits it out]
Ugh, it tastes like shit! Why are you doing this to me? Ew!
It's not bad. You'll get used to it. Try a little more!
Fuck, no! And you can't force me, I'll report you.
Oh really? To who?
Oh, to a real vampire who'll kick your ass! You won't let me do anything and I'm so hungry! YOU ARE THE WORST. MAKER. EVER! [weeps]
