Quotes[]
- Eric Northman: I was beginning to think you weren't going to accept my invitation, Lorena.
- Lorena Krasiki: For a vampire, you're a terrible liar.
....
- Sam Merlotte: Jesus. Where were you?
- Daphne Landry: In the woods. Running. And then whatever it was, it was on me. It slashed me. And then I was sick, real sick, for weeks. The doctors couldn't figure it out. What it was. They told me I was lucky to be alive and I should count my blessings. And I still do, every single day of my life.
....
- Daphne Landry: The way I look at it, if you're gonna take the danger out of getting to know someone, you might as well not bother with 'em at all. You got to share this life with people. It's what we were put on this big ol' round ball to do. And people, they need to know you. You're just too damned special for 'em not to.
....
- Maryann Forrester: Tara. You may not know this about me, but without a hot shower in the morning, I have no tolerance for sarcasm.
....
- Luke McDonald: Well, if it's what I read about on the internet, meeting the sun is when you take a vampire and you chain him on the cross before dawn. And when the sun comes up, the congregation gets to watch from the bleachers as the vampire ignites and is sent to his fiery grave once and for all.
- Jason Stackhouse: Jesus Christ!
- Steve Newlin: Well, yes, him, but the sun too. Good work, boys.
....
- Maxine Fortenberry: Maybe it's for the best. Lately if you're too good a waitress around here, someone's gonna come along and kill you.
....
- Terry Bellefleur: What the hell, Andy? Back when we were kids playing cops and robbers in Me-maw and Pa-po's backyard, you always used to make your arrests with dignity. This ain't the kind of cop you set out to be. And by the way, everybody know that you ain't even a cop anymore. Get the hell out of here.
