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.
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?
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.
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.
[from outside, knocking on the door] I know you're in there, even if you won't pick up the phone!
Damn, hooka. Shit! [gets up and opens the door, letting her in]
How come I have to hear about you being back from Sookie?
What else did she tell you?
That you got shot and fed on and chained up in some vampire dungeon!
Sookie need to keep her mouth shut and so do you.
Have you been to the hospital?
Whatchu think is gonna happen if I show up to the ER with a gun shot wound? I don't need the police up in my business.
You need to see a doctor.
For what? So they can give me drugs I already got?
Why this allegiance to Godric?
He is much beloved by his subjects.
Only kings and queens have subjects Eric. Not Sheriffs.
Godric could have been king of Texas had he wanted. He could have been king of any vampire territory anywhere. He is twice as old as I am and very powerful. There are none above him in the new world.
Well if he's so powerful, how could they abduct him?
Now that is what worries me. If one such as he can be taken by humans, then none of us are safe.
[chasing after Sam] I know it seems like I led you on, but cut me some slack. My grandmother had just been murdered, Rene was after 'me', and I didn't think Bill was ever comin' back.
[stopping] Christ, Sookie! I really don't have time for this.
Well, if you care about our friendship I suggest you make time for it.
Look, I got serious shit I'm dealin' with right now. Makin' you feel better is not high on my list.
[after Hoyt leaves] We established there was to be no hunting in this house.
I know you feel like shit because you had to make me and you should feel like shit! But guess what? I'd never kissed a boy before that. Meetin' Hoyt is the only good thing that's happened to me since... my whole new life started. No, I'm not ready for any thing to happen to fast. I-I'd been happy just to go on kissin' him all night long... Is it my fault my fangs come out when I get turned on? [realizes what that means and runs up stairs]
I think I'm gonna like her.
Sookie, do not make the mistake of thinkin' you two can be girlfriends. She is...
Yeah, I get it. She's a vampire. Believe me, I learned my lesson about that.
BBarry
Why won't you leave me alone?
Because I've never met another telepath. Have you?
BBarry
No and don't say that word.
It's what you are. Nobody else knows what it's like to be us. We need to stick together. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
BBarry
Yes it is! My life is shit. I can't do anything normal people do. If I'm not around a bunch of vampires, I can't hardly think straight.
I used to feel exactly the same. Like I had a disability.
BBarry
More like a curse.
But lately since I met my boyfriend, it seems like telepathy can come in handy some times. You can even make a little money.
BBarry
Then you're even crazier than I am.
[waking up as she comes back to bed] I dreamed you were gone.
You did?... That's funny, 'cause I was.
It was only for a few minutes. I had to. Bill, it's the most amazin' thing. I met another telepath and he's not a vampire or very good at it. Oh, it's wonderful knowin' there's somebody besides me.
You made him aware of your gift after everything I've said?
Not on purpose. We were in each other's heads before we knew it. I thought you'd be happy for me.
The more people know what you do, the harder it is for me to protect you.
[about Barry] He can't even admit what he is to himself. He's not gonna do any talkin' about it.
Yes, I can. I'm good at this. Look, if all we're supposed to do in Dallas is shut up and take orders, I might as well be slingin' beers at Merlotte's. You're the one who told me I was more than a waitress.
Talk to me. Lean on me. I've leaned on you plenty.
Well, here I am responsible for you and Jessica. Yet no decisions are mine. It makes me feel...
You're walkin' in my shoes and it's givin' you blisters.
Eric is strangely intent about all this. It's not like him. I don't trust it.
Don't you worry about Eric. We'll do the job and go home. A deal's a deal.
Sookie, you know what he's like. It's not like him to break a contract with a girl.
A woman... he needs me. He won't wanna make me mad.
[at Sookie's house] Did you know MaryAnn wants us all to be roommates here?
No. Cool. I guess that other guy came back from Peru.
No, not cool! Not gonna happen. I just moved in.
Okay, fine. We can go some where else if that's how you feel about it.
That's all you gotta say?
Relax. It's not big deal.
What are you? What are you? Nomads?
We move around a little bit. Nothing wrong with that.
Wait nothing! I didn't know. You coulda told me.
Who cares? What matters is being with the people you love.
Well, other things matter too! Like knowin' the truth about the poeople you love. So while we're on the subject, what exactly is your 'thing' with MaryAnn?
Look, when I was ready to lay down and die she lifted me up. Same as she did you.
Now you follow here where ever she goes?
I'm not her dog if that's what you're trying to say. And why all of a sudden are you so paranoid about MaryAnn?
Because I'm tryin' not to be a fool.
You know what this is about? Your history is so fucked up, you have no clue what family is.
[hurt] That's not fair. I do have a clue.
Who gives a damn about a house. MaryAnn, Carl, and me; we take care of each other. We took care of you. That's what family is, Tara.
SStan
You should have told me Eric hired a fuckin' human, Isabel.
[about Sookie] Respect her!
[to Stan] I couldn't tell you, Stan. You've been off on your own for days.
Are you certain Godric was abducted by the Fellowship of the Sun?
SStan
Yes! They're the only ones with the organization and man-power.
But they're amateurs. It doesn't make any sense. This is Godric we're talking about. Two-thousand years old.
SStan
Old don't make you smart.
Besides, there's no proof.
If they've got him, I'll hear it. That's my job.
SStan
There's no reason to wait. We need to take these fanatics down. Full out attack. Exterminate them like the vermin they are.
Hmm, vampire hating church annihilated. Wonder who did it? Fucking brilliant!
I doubt the king of Texas would approve of the destruction of our international political agenda.
SStan
Fuck that. The great revelation is the biggest mistake we ever made.
Don't use Godric to make your own little power play.
You are completely incompetent! What's happened to Godric that he surrounds himself with clowns?
We invited you as a courtesy. This is not your territory. You have no voice here.
SStan
Yeah, sheriff. Why don't you run back on down to Louisiana. We don't need you or your puppets.
It's not a plan, it's a movie!
Why am I here, Mr. Northman?
We want the same thing, you and I. [she just looks at him] Okay, Bill has something I want and he's in the way.
She's something more than human.
That I do not know. Whatever it is, he loves her.
What makes you think I want him back? That I'd even take him back?
Because you didn't come all this way just to see me.
[annoyed] I haven't seen Bill Compton is over seventy years. Surely you can't think I have any pull over him, whatsoever.
I haven't seen my maker for much longer than that and yet, I am still loyal to him. Fiercely.
Shame I didn't turn you. Then again... you're not really my type.
