- Sookie Stackhouse: [after they have made love] Doesn't it get old for you? I mean you've been doing it for over a hundred years. Doesn't it get predictable?
- Bill Compton: Not with you it doesn't. You're entirely different. And the beauty and the tragedy of it is that you don't know just how different you are.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
- Bill Compton: There's nothing more natural than the act of making love. Who am I to try to change what comes naturally to you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: But if you could change something...
- Bill Compton: I wouldn't change a thing.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [pauses] What's it like to sleep in the ground?
- Bill Compton: Well, it's not exactly comfortable. But it is safe. Which if I recall is what the three voicemails required of me that night.
- Eric Northman: [after Bill has found him in his bathtub, with soft music playing] I texted you three times. Why didn't you reply?
- Bill Compton: I hate using the number keys to type. What are you listening to?
- Eric Northman: From my younger days. It's really quite beautiful if you know old Swedish. I have a favor to ask of you.
- Bill Compton: A favor or an order?
- Eric Northman: Depends on how you look at it. Honestly, did you think you could keep her to yourself?
- Eric Northman: [about Sookie questioning their humans] Don't be coy. It's humbling enough to turn to a human for assistance. We know what you can do.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Who wants pizza?
- Lisa Fowler: Me!
- Coby Fowler: Me!
- Sookie Stackhouse: Well, that's good, 'cuz that's what we're having!
- Rene Lenier: [to Bill] You can eat pizza?
- Bill Compton: Unfortunately, no. But I understand it's delicious.
- Lisa Fowler: [as they're eating ice cream] Bill, how come you can't have ice cream?
- Bill Compton: You might say that I'm lactose intolerant.
- Coby Fowler: Just like my Aunt Fern. 'Cept she don't tolerate Mexicans.
- Eddie: I bought this specially for you. I remember you said you 'go for merlot.'
- Lafayette Reynolds: I said I worked at Merlotte's. But whatever...
- Rene Lenier: Ahhh, I think we got a flat tire.
- Arlene Fowler: Oh, come on, baby, the kids are waiting on us. I don't wanna leave them with that vampire one second longer than I have to.
- Rene Lenier: Okay, okay, okay. I'm getting to it, woman.
- [Rene climbs out of the truck]
- Rene Lenier: Baby.
- Arlene Fowler: What?
- Rene Lenier: Pass me that Maglite, will you?
- [Arlene finds the flashlight in the glove compartment, and climbs out of the truck, too]
- Arlene Fowler: [trying to turn the flashlight on] Crap, it's burnt out.
- Rene Lenier: Are you sure? You better check it. I just put some fresh batteries in there.
- [Arlene pops open the battery compartment, and ring falls to the ground]
- Rene Lenier: [picking the ring up] Arlene Fowler... would you do me the honor of being my wife?
- Amy Burley: [Amy and Jason are entering Merlotte's] Intense! All these animals on the wall, it's like a natural history museum.
- Jason: Hah! I never noticed them.
- Amy Burley: How could you not? Everyone of these animals lived a life full of experiences that we can't even imagine!
- Jason: Does that weird you out? We could always go someplace else!
- Amy Burley: No, no. Everyone has to eat, right? We're all links on the universal food chain. See, squirrel eats nuts, snake eats the squirrel, gator eats the snake. And we can eat pretty much anything we want. It's the circle of life.
- Jason: Jesus Christ, I wanna lick your mind!
- Amy Burley: Let's have lunch first.
- Jason: [in his afterglow] God damn! You... you are not like anybody I ever met.
- Amy Burley: [lazily] Just gonna say the same thing. Jesus.
- Jason: It felt like the whole world came together. Me, you, the bed, the house. We're all one big, giant...
- Amy Burley: Organism.
- Jason: Yeah. Mine was huge. I never knew vamp blood could do something like this to you.
- Amy Burley: Know what? Neither did I. I mean I've had V partners before, but this was on a totally different planet. You're an extraordinary being.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [after Tara came charging into the house] Watch you feet! I just waxed!
- Tara Thornton: I hope you mean the floor.
- Arlene Fowler: [after meeting Amy] Sam! Think we might have found a replacement for Dawn.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [to Jason] Looks like you did too.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I've been admiring your necklace all day.
- Amy Burley: Oh, thanks. It's a lariat. I made it.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You make jewelry?
- Amy Burley: It's a easy way to earn extra money. I can make you one if you want.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Thanks, but I don't think my boyfriend much likes silver. You know my brother's a dog, don't you?
- Amy Burley: [confused] Sorry?
- Sookie Stackhouse: He's all charm and smiles in the beginning. But the second he gets tired of you, he gonna stop calling. Before you know it, he's off with some other floozy. Not-not that you are one, but trust me. It's as regular as the seasons. You seem like a sweet girl, I don't want you to get hurt.
- Amy Burley: You know, I don't think Jason's realized even half of what he's going to be. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I think you might be surprised at what he's capable of.
- Arlene Fowler: [about getting married again] I know I've done it four other times, but it never gets old.
- Bill Compton: [arriving at Fangtasia] You said you wanted to go out tonight.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [clearly upset] I did not mean Fangtasia! I mean really, all those pathetic people who come here looking for sex with vampires.
- Bill Compton: I know. It's despicable.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You know what I mean. So what? Five, ten minutes?
- Bill Compton: As long as Eric requires us.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You mean as long as he requires me! Didn't even have the decency to ask me himself.
- Bill Compton: You are mine. He didn't need to ask your permission.
- Sookie Stackhouse: He cannot check me out like a library book!
- Bill Compton: Unfortunately Sookie, he can. Eric is sheriff of Area 5.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Sheriff?
- Bill Compton: It's a position of great power among our kind. We do not wanna anger him. As long as the requests are reasonable, we should accede to his wishes.
- Tara Thornton: [seeing her neck] Oh, my god! Are those fang marks?
- Sookie Stackhouse: So what? It means someone cared for me when everyone else left me high and dry!
- Sookie Stackhouse: Why am I the only person in this world that doesn't think that vampires are monsters?
- Eddie: [to Lafeyette as he's draining his blood] I always look forward to Monday nights. First 'Heroes', then you.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: You look mighty pretty tonight, Tara. That's a nice color on you.
- Tara Thornton: Fuck you.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: I'm sorry, w... was that sexist?
