Quotes 

• 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?

• 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.

• 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.
