- Godric: [on the roof with Eric] Two thousand years is enough.
- Eric Northman: [unbelieving] I can't accept this. It's insanity!
- Godric: 'Our' existance is insanity... we don't belong here.
- Eric Northman: But we 'are' here!
- Godric: It's not right. We're not right.
- Eric Northman: [stepping forward] You taught me there was no right or wrong. Only survival or death.
- Godric: I told a lie, as it turns out.
- Eric Northman: I will keep you alive by force!
- Godric: Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?
- Eric Northman: [begins crying blood, in Swedish] Godric, don't do it.
- Godric: [in Swedish] There are centuries of faith and love between us.
- Eric Northman: [crying; in Swedish] Please, please!... Please, Godric!
- Godric: [in Swedish] Father... brother... child...
- [in English]
- Godric: Let me go.
- Eric Northman: [stops crying, breathing deep] I won't let you die alone.
- Godric: Yes, you will.
- [Eric gets to his feet as Godric rests a hand on his shoulder]
- Godric: As your maker. I command you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [Eric walks to the stairs, she reaches for him and he turns to her] I'll stay with him. As long as it takes.
- [Eric leaves]
- Godric: [about his burning] It won't take long. Not at my age.
- Sookie Stackhouse: You know it wasn't very smart... the Fellowship of Sun part.
- Godric: I know. I thought it would fix everything some how. But I don't think like a vampire anymore... Do you believe in God?
- Sookie Stackhouse: Yes.
- Godric: If you're right, how will he punish me?
- Sookie Stackhouse: God doesn't punish. God forgives.
- Godric: I don't deserve it, but I hope for it.
- Sookie Stackhouse: We all do.
- Godric: You will care for him? Eric.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I'm not sure. You know how he is.
- Godric: I can take the blame for that too.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [smiling softly] Maybe not. Eric's pretty much himself... Are you very afraid?
- Godric: [gleeful] No, no. I'm full of joy.
- Sookie Stackhouse: But the pain?
- Godric: I want to burn.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [starts crying] I-I'm afraid for you.
- Godric: [blissful] A human with me at the end and human tears. Two-thousand years... and I can still be surprised. In this I see God.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [watches as he turns towards the sun and removes his shirt, holding his arms wide] ... Good-bye, Godric.
- [watching as he goes up in blue flames]
- Arlene Fowler: [about Daphne] She was clumsy, stupid and mean. But I wouldn't wish that kinda death on a possum.
- Jason Stackhouse: [remorseful] Our whole family's gone. Everybody who counts. We're all alone. We're all that's left.
- Sookie Stackhouse: So you know what we gotta do. We gotta grow up. We gotta stick together and we gotta be good to each other or we're lettin' them down.
- Arlene Fowler: [crying to Terry] Please talk to me. I mean if what we did was so terrible...
- Terry Bellefleur: No, no! Arlene, don't cry. I didn't mean to be peculiar at you. I just don't know what we did.
- Arlene Fowler: We had sex. Didn't we?
- Terry Bellefleur: Did we?
- Arlene Fowler: You can't remember?
- Terry Bellefleur: Don't take this the wrong way, but... nope.
- Arlene Fowler: Oh, baby. Oh me neither. I didn't know for sure.
- Terry Bellefleur: Is that good?
- Arlene Fowler: I don't know and I don't care. As long as you're not mad at me.
- Eric Northman: [running a finger down her arm, waking her as she turns to him] Finish your sentence.
- Sookie Stackhouse: What was I saying?
- Eric Northman: You were telling me why'd you be a terrible vampire and I was disagreeing.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Well I don't feel right without a tan.
- [as he laughs]
- Sookie Stackhouse: It's true and I'd rather be alive than undead. Than ya'll are always killin'.
- Eric Northman: [knowingly] You've killed a man.
- Sookie Stackhouse: That was for self defense, not for lunch.
- Eric Northman: Shhh. Oh, you'd adapt. Like we all do. Trade the sun for the moon and stars.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Uh huh. Not me. I want 'em all.
- Eric Northman: [smiling] Ooh, greedy.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Yeah, I am.
- Eric Northman: I love it.
- [kisses her]
- Eric Northman: You have the temperament for a vampire.
- Sookie Stackhouse: What? I'm high maintenance, blood thirsty, and old as dirt?
- Eric Northman: Ahh, blood thirsty, Yeah.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I am not.
- Eric Northman: Everyone thinks you're a darling, don't they.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I 'am' a darling.
- Eric Northman: You're ruthless because of the people you love. You'll do anything for them.
- [kissing her]
- Eric Northman: Your brother, your friends... me.
- Lorena: [in the shadows] Bill.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [pulling away a bit] Bill? Where's Bill?
- Lorena: What do you care? You've already abandoned him.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I have not. I love Bill.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: Why do you have so much hate in you?
- Maxine Fortenberry: [Defensive] I don't.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: That's a flat lie.
- Maxine Fortenberry: Who do you think you're talking to?
- Hoyt Fortenberry: My mama. Who hates Methodists.
- Maxine Fortenberry: I got my reasons.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: And Catholics.
- Maxine Fortenberry: Just priests... and nuns.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: African-Americans.
- Maxine Fortenberry: [Quiet] . Hush, that's a secret
- Hoyt Fortenberry: People who don't tale care of their gardens. People who park their trucks up on their lawn. And ladies who wear red shoes.
- Maxine Fortenberry: It looks cheap.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: Families with lots of kids. And checkered curtains and cats and dogs, and bait, every girl that I ever liked. And the more that I like them, the more that you hate them.
- Bill Compton: It doesn't matter if we ever meet again. You may be immortal, Lorena. But you are dead to me.
- Lorena: [tearfully before leaving] I wish you hadn't said that.
- Bill Compton: [searching inside the bombed home] Sookie! Sookie!
- Sookie Stackhouse: [on the floor, under Eric] Bill?
- Eric Northman: [weakly] I covered her. She's only stunned. Get the humans.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [gasping as she pushes Eric off of her] Can't breathe. You weigh a ton!
- [shouting]
- Sookie Stackhouse: Jason? Jason!
- [seeing him not far and turning back to Eric]
- Sookie Stackhouse: Uh oh!
- Eric Northman: [weakly, bleeding] Had to shield you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Well hurry up and heal yourself. What are you waiting for?
- Eric Northman: [gasping] Can't. Silver.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I'll get Godric.
- Eric Northman: No time... suck... it out.
- [silver bullets]
- Sookie Stackhouse: Eric, I can't. It's gross and... it's you.
- Eric Northman: Dying...
- [passes out]
- Bill Compton: [to Sookie as she helps Eric] What are you doing?
- Sookie Stackhouse: [spitting out a bullet] I sucked silver out of Eric's chest to save his life, even though I really didn't want to.
- Eric Northman: ...She was superb.
- Bill Compton: Eric was in no danger.
- Sookie Stackhouse: W-what?
- Eric Northman: A tiny falsehood.
- Bill Compton: He was already healing. The bullets would've pushed themselves out. This way he's... forced you to drink his blood.
- Sookie Stackhouse: No! No! No!
- [getting to her feet]
- Bill Compton: You're connected. He'll be able to sense your emotions.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [to Eric] You big lying a-hole.
- Eric Northman: Bill, I think you're right. I think I can sense her emotions... sweet.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [to Eric] I'll never do anything for you again! Monster!
- Bill Compton: [to Sookie] It's not your fault.
- Eric Northman: I think I'm gonna cry.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [coming from the bathroom] I could kick myself. I'm so stupid! I wasn't thinkin'.
- Bill Compton: [about Eric] He did take bullets for you. At least we both came out alive.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I know better than to believe one word outta that man's mouth. I sucked his chest! What is wrong with me?
- Bill Compton: Eric has had a thousand years pratice at deceit... He lied to prove his power to me. He counted on your goodness. There's no shame in that.
- Sookie Stackhouse: But his blood, Bill. I tried to spit it all out. But some of it musta gone down.
- Bill Compton: It only takes a drop or two.
- Sookie Stackhouse: He'll always know where I am and how I feel. Always. That's worst of all.
- Bill Compton: No, not the worst.
- Sookie Stackhouse: What do you mean?
- Bill Compton: Don't be surprised if you... feel some... attraction to him. Sexual.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [detest] To Eric? That's impossible. I-I can't stand him.
- Bill Compton: It is possible. Another consequence of the blood. Woulda happened sooner or later. He was determined to form this bond with you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I could kill him.
- Bill Compton: I concur.
- Jessica Hamby: I'll get used to it. Maybe there's an operation. I can't be the only vampire virgin.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: You know, intercourse isn't the only way to have sex.
- Jessica Hamby: But I want to have intercourse.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: Well sure... We can do everything when we figure out how.
- Jessica Hamby: You should break up with me.
- Hoyt Fortenberry: Hell no. That thing that growns back, it's just a thing. I ain't perfect either. I'm the guy people laugh at.
- Maryann Forrester: [seeing Tara & Eggs all bruised] How much did you drink this time?
- Tara Thornton: Nothin', far as I recall.
- Eggs: Same for me.
- [rubbing his jaw]
- Tara Thornton: I've never been this out of control before.
- Maryann Forrester: We need to be out of control. We crave it.
- Lafayette Reynolds: [to Tara about Eggs] He's poison! He ain't never gonna change and he may wind up killing you!
- Tara Thornton: [seeing Lafayette and Lettie Mae] Ah well. Looky here. Aliens.
- Maryann Forrester: Ooh. Who's that?
- Tara Thornton, Eggs: Lafayette.
- Maryann Forrester: Ooh. Lafayette, Ms. Thornton. Welcome, join us!
- Lafayette Reynolds: No. We're good.
- Lettie Mae Thornton: I'm takin' my daughter away from you.
- Tara Thornton: Is that right?
- Lafayette Reynolds: Yeah, that's right.
- Lettie Mae Thornton: [to Tara] Child, listen to me this one time for once in your life.
- Maryann Forrester: [as she, Tara and Eggs laugh] Don't be ridiculous. Take a load off. We're in the middle of a game.
- Nan Flanagan: [to the vampires in attendence] Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made? And who has to fucking clean that up? Me, not you, Me. We should drain everyone of you bastards.
- Eric Northman: Stan went to the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it.
- Nan Flanagan: Oh really? Because everyone who met Stan in the last three-hundred years knew that he had a kink about slaughtering humans. But you, his nest-mates, his sherrif has no clue.
- Isabel: And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?
- Nan Flanagan: Not my problem. Yours.
- [to Godric]
- Eric Northman: [seething] Don't talk to him like way.
- Nan Flanagan: [to Eric] Don't talk to me that way!
- [to Godric]
- Nan Flanagan: Lets get to the point, sheriff. How'd they manage to abduct you?
- Godric: They would've taken one of us sooner or later. I offered myself.
- Nan Flanagan: Why?
- Godric: Why not?
- Nan Flanagan: [pinched] They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?
- Godric: What do you think?
- Nan Flanagan: I think you're out of you mind and than I hear about a traitor?
- Godric: Irrelevant. Only a rumor. I'll take full responsibility.
- Nan Flanagan: You bet your ass you will!
- Maryann Forrester: [to Merlotte's customers] The god who comes demands his sacrifice! Where is Sam Merlotte?
- Arlene Fowler: [tranced] He ain't been here all day.
- Maryann Forrester: Well, find him and bring him to me!
- Sookie Stackhouse: I'm going to find Godric.
- Bill Compton: None of this has anything to do with us. Godric is not your concern.
- Sookie Stackhouse: If it weren't for him I wouldn't be standing here. He's in pain. He's suffering. I gotta do something.
- Bill Compton: Don't you think we've done enough for Dallas?
- Sookie Stackhouse: You of all people should understand how he feels. What if it were you, Bill? What if in eighteen hundred years, you were Godric?
- Eric Northman: [pulling her back] I use to think you had no sense of humor.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I use to think you were made of cold, hard stone and empty inside.
- Eric Northman: And now?
- Sookie Stackhouse: [tender] You're a big faker. You're deep. You feel. There's love in you.
- Eric Northman: Only for Sookie.
- [kissing her]
- Lorena: [to Sookie] You don't want Bill. He means nothing to you.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [moving away] No.
- Eric Northman: [pulling her to him] ... This is the beginning.
- [kissing her passionately]
- Godric: I'm sorry. I apologize for all the harm I've caused, all our lost ones, human and vampire. I will make amends. I swear.
- Nan Flanagan: ...Take it easy. It's just a few signatures.
- Godric: Do you believe in God?
- Sookie Stackhouse: Yes.
- Godric: If you're right, how will they punish me?
- Sookie Stackhouse: God doesn't punish, God forgives.
- Godric: I don't deserve it, but I hope for it.
- Sookie Stackhouse: We all do.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Are you very afraid?
- Godric: No. No, I'm filled with joy.
- Sookie Stackhouse: But the pain?
- Godric: I want to burn.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Well, I'm afraid for you.
- [Sookie begins to cry]
- Godric: A human with me at the end, and human tears. Two thousand years and I can still be surprised. In this, I see God.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Goodbye, Godric.
- [Godric walks toward the sun and burns away until there is nothing left]
- Bill Compton: What are you doin'?
- Sookie Stackhouse: I sucked silver out of Eric's chest and saved his life even though I *really* didn't want to.
- Eric Northman: She was superb.
- Bill Compton: ...Eric was in no danger.
- Sookie Stackhouse: He... what?
- Eric Northman: A tiny falsehood.
- Bill Compton: He was already healing, the bullets would have pushed themselves out. This way he's forced you to drink his blood.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [shouts] No... No! No!
- Bill Compton: You're connected. He'll be able to sense your emotions.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [shouts at Eric] you big lying A-hole!
- Eric Northman: Bill, you're right, I believe I can sense her emotions.
- Maryann Forrester: I don't wanna be blacking out.
- Tara Thornton: I have a little theory about blacking out. Maybe you rose to a higher state of consciousness.
- Maryann Forrester: We're all bashed up. There's nothing higher about that except for we must have been high. My mama blacked out for months at a time, I'm a blackout expert.
- Tara Thornton: Are you?
- Maryann Forrester: Certified.
- Maryann Forrester: What about the saints of India? What about the mystics of every religion?
- Eggs: What about them?
- Maryann Forrester: They would black out. Run and dance through the streets, levitate, act like monkeys, run around naked. Everybody thought they were crazy.
- Tara Thornton: They *were* crazy.
- Sarah Newlin: We are fighting for God's green earth and daytime and Christmas and Easter eggs and all that's sacred and good.
- Nan Flanagan: You wanna lose your area, Viking?
- Eric Northman: You don't have that kind of power.
- Nan Flanagan: Hey, I'm on TV. Try me.
