Quotes 

• Sookie Stackhouse : [worried]  So, you're not in any trouble?

  Bill Compton : A simple slap on the wrist. That's all.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You swear? Because Pam made it sound...

  Bill Compton : Pam was turned almost a hundred years ago, and yet somehow still behaves as though every day were Halloween. She's all drama and theatrics. I assure you, everything's going to be fine.

• Bill Compton : [as Eric enters his home]  I take it by your being here, there was no way around it then?

  Eric Northman : I can't really say. Didn't exactly look into it.

• Chow : What's your game?

  Bill Compton : Excuse me?

  Chow : You were playing Wii. What's your game?

  Bill Compton : Golf.

  Chow : What's your best score on Pebble Beach?

  Bill Compton : Seven under.

  Chow : Mine's eleven under.

  Bill Compton : [deadpan, to Eric]  I liked Long Shadow better.

• Bill Compton : [about Eric]  Tell me, do you enjoy living halfway up his backside the way you do?

  Pam : Yes, it's nice. You should try it.

• Eric Northman : You killed a vampire, Bill. For a human. What are we gonna do about this?

  Bill Compton : What do you have in mind?

  Eric Northman : I'll take the girl.

  Bill Compton : No!

  [long pause] 

  Bill Compton : You can have anyone you want. Why do you want her?

  Eric Northman : Why do *you* want her? You're not in love with her, are you?

  Bill Compton : [incensed]  Sookie must be protected.

  Eric Northman : Now, that sounds like an edict. But it couldn't be, because I would know about that. Admit it. You love her.

  Bill Compton : If I hadn't done what I did, would you have let his disloyalty stand?

  Eric Northman : Whatever I did to Long Shadow I would not have done in front of witnesses. Especially not vampire witnesses. Not smart, Bill. Not smart at all.

• Bill Compton : Sookie hates feeling like she doesn't have her independence.

• Bill Compton : [in bed with Sookie after finding the cat dead]  Aren't you tired?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Everytime I close my eyes, I see her face.

  Bill Compton : Your cat?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Gran. But now that you mention it, Tina's in there too.

  Bill Compton : You do know that I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. That I am here for you, to protect you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : What if I don't wanna need to be protected? What if wanting to be protected makes me feel like the helpless little girl I used to be all over again?

  Bill Compton : Sookie... all of the things that you need to be protected from, all of the trouble you're in, you are in because of me. So, you needing to be protected has nothing to do with you or who you are. All of it is my fault. So why don't you just go to sleep and let me be the one to worry about it.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Bill, all the trouble I'm in, it's mine. I chose it. I chose it when I chose you.

  Bill Compton : Yes, but...

  Sookie Stackhouse : Don't you think I wanna blame somebody else? But what happened to my Gran, and now to poor Tina, it's my fault. And it's sweet of you to try to take it on from me, but if I let you, I'd be so mad at you, I'd never be able to look at you again. And right now your face is just about the only thing getting me by. So why don't we just leave it on me, okay?

  Bill Compton : [pause, accepting]  Very well.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Night Bill.

• Bill Compton : Try to behave yourself.

  Eric Northman : Don't I always?
