Scene 1: Sookie and Bill in Jason's house

Sookie: I'am a fairy? How f*cking lame.

Bill: Fairy is but one of the names.

Sookie: What other names are there?

Bill: Finodrerr. Ellyllon. The Old People. (Bill hesitates). Aliens.

Sookie: God f*cking damn it. I really am an alien.

Bill: Only part. You're mostly human. Apparently, a Fae coupled with one of your female ancestors.

Sookie: Coupled?

Bill: The Fae were known for breeding with humans. Sometimes against the human's will.

Sookie: My people are rapists? How do you know all this?

Bill: One of them called. Claudine told me.

Sookie: Claudine? Where were you when you...?

Bill: Bon Temps Cemetery. Only it... It was someplace else. And it was day. But it wasn't painful, it was beautiful.

Sookie: What there a pond?

Bill: Yes, that's how I got there.

Sookie: I was there too. Claudine told me you would take my light.

Bill: She's afraid for you, and with good reason.

Sookie: What reason is that?

Bill: Every supernatural I have ever met believes the Fae were wiped out of existence by vampires.

Générique

Scene 2: Tara and Jason in Merlotte's parking lot

Jason: Oh, f*ck me (he sees the death of Eggs and Eddie) [/ i]. Whoa! (He picks up the remains of Franklin). Tara, we gotta hide this.

Tara: I need you to dig.

Jason: What?

Tara: Dig (He begins to dig, she picks up the remains and then gives him) [/ i]. Start up the truck. Put this in back. We'll find a place to burn 'em. I got this. (Jason puts the remains of Franklin in the car. Tara covered with earth the blood and spit Franklin) [/ i]. I hope you rot in hell, you psycho piece of sh*t. (She joins Jason in the car and they leave).

Scene 3: Crystal, Lafayette and Jesus Calvin stop in front of Lafayette's house .

Lafayette gets out of the car and runs home.

Crystal dans la voiture: Why are we stopping? We don't have time for this !

Crystal in the car: Man, what the hell are you doing? This guy needs a doctor.

Lafayette: We're still 20 miles away from the Monroe ER. He ain't gonna make it. Bring him up on the porch and lay him out.

Jesus: I'm telling you if we don't take...

Lafayette: Hey ! Would you just trust me? I' m gonna make it right.

Crystal: What is he doing?

Jesus: I don't know, but I guess he's got a plan.

Crystal gets out of the car: If he dies, you're both f*cking dead.

Jesus: It's all right. I got you, come on. (A Crystal). Get out of my way.

Crystal: Wait ! His breathings all f*cked up, he can't get no air !

Jesus: Come on, Calvin. Stay with us, buddy.

Scene 4: Sam coming home

It takes a bottle of alcohol to disinfect the damaged hand and starts drinking. He thinks about what he said.

Several voices in his head: You f*cking p*ssy. Is there anyone you won't let walk all over you?

Dumb m*therf*cker. Rip your d*ck off and feed it to my hogs. You're really not an alpha, are you? Can't you just be a normal guy? I f*cking trusted you !

Memories of Sam in 2003. He enters a hotel room with a young woman. It opens a suitcase with jewelry inside. He spread on the bed.

The young woman: Oh. Come on, come on. Oh. Oh, my God. Oh !

Sam: All right. (He shows two clamps to the young woman who chooses one). Yeah.

The young woman: Tell me how you do it, Sam. Huh? How you keep getting into these places without setting off the alarm.

Sam: A man ain't nothing without his secrets.

The young woman: Tell me. Huh? Uh? Please?

Sam: Maybe. One day, when we're out of this game, running a nice little bar, making babies who look like you.

The young woman: Oh. You feel so good. Even warmer than usual.

(Sam and the young woman are kissing when a man enters silently holding a g*n).

Sam: You are so f*cking beautiful.

Man menace Sam avec l'arme : Well. Thanks, honey. Feeling beautiful.

Sam: What is this?

Man: This would be you getting screwed.

Sam, addressing the young woman: You in on this?

Man: Was her idea. Probably crossed your mind, a world class piece of ass like that don't usually fall for a dumb f*ck like you.

The young woman (after picking up jewelry): We're good.

Man (strikes Sam with the w*apon): Well, you were right. Come on. (They dash out leaving Sam to the ground).

Scene 5: Sookie and Bill in Jason's house

Sookie: Why do people think they were wiped out by vampires? And if you don't tell me the truth, Bill Compton, I swear to God I will know it.

Bill: According to legend, fairy blood is delectable and intoxicating to vampires.

Sookie: Is it true?

Bill: Yours is the most delicious blood I have ever tasted. That's all I know. I believe having your blood is what allowed me to get to whatever dream state where I met Claudine.

Sookie: I'm pretty sure Claudine hated you in that other place. Why would she tell you anything at all?

Bill: I told her my only intention was to protect you.

Sookie: And she believed you?

Bill: She did.

Sookie: If... If my blood is so delicious, does that mean your feelings for me are based on...?

Bill: No. Oh, it definitely drew me to you at first. But we grew into something much deeper. You must know that. You see the difference between the way I look at you and the way that Eric and Russell do.

Sookie: Yes, but in the van, you almost...

Bill: I was unconscious. I was fighting for survival. That wasn't me. Sookie, it is not your blood I love. I love you. Your mind, your heart, your soul. And I will forswear ever feeding on you again if that's what it takes to convince you of that. You have brought light back into my life and hope and gratitude. That is why I love you. Nothing else.

Scene 6: Pam, Eric and a notary in Fangtasia

Notary: « I give all my residences, subject to any mortgages or encumbrances there on, to... »

Eric: My progeny, Pamela Swynford DeBeaufort.

Pam (angry): Why are doing this?

Eric: Because, Pam, Russell Edgington was maybe the oldest and strongest vampire on the planet, before he eviscerated a newsman live on TV. Now he's also the craziest, and his rage is directed at me. Do the math.

Notary: Article four. « I give the rest of my residuary estate to... »

Eric: My progeny, Pamela Swynford DeBeaufort.

Pam: You're not even gonna put up a fight?

Eric: Of course I am.But until I come up with a brilliant plan to b*at him, I am covering my bases and your ass.

Pam: Eric...

Eric: Unless you have a plan for me to defeat Russel Edgington, do not distract me. (Au notaire) Go on.

Notary: Your signature requires two witnesses. But the witness cannot be the beneficiary of your estate.

Eric: Yvetta ! (Yvetta arrive). Are you mentally competent and under no duress at this time?

Yvetta: Da.

Eric: Good. Watch this. (He signs and takes the Yvetta's hand to sign.)

Notary: Well, congratulations. According to the State of Louisiana, should Mr. Northman meet the true death, you will become a very wealthy vampire. I'll show myself out.

Yvetta in Estonian?: You're giving her everything? You promised to take care of me !

Eric in Estonian: I promised you a job and good sex. That is all.

Yvetta in Estonian: So I mean nothing to you?

Eric in Estonian : Less than nothing, you gold-digging whore ! (Yvetta leaves in anger).

Pam: You can be a cold-hearted bastard. (she leaves).

Scene 7 : Crystal, Lafayette Jesus and Calvin in front of Lafayette's house.

Crystal: What the hell is that?

Lafayette: Vampire blood.

Crystal: Nothing's happening.

Lafayette: Give it a second.

Jesus: Why'd you do it? So he'd die in peace?

Lafayette: Trust me, all right? Here we go. (injuries on Calvin and Calvin disappear)

Jesus: What the f*ck?

Crystal: Oh, my God. Oh, Daddy.

Jesus: No f*cking way. Calvin gets up, he is not happy.

Crystal (embraces father) : Oh. Thank you, God. Thank you.

Calvin (to Crystal): You let these faggots put vampire juice in me?

Crystal: They saved your life ! (Calvin and Crystal hand slap).

Calvin: f*cking cock-sucking f*gg*t.

Jesus (approaching Crystal):[/b] You okay?

Crystal: I can take care of myself. (She runs after her father).Daddy, wait ! Daddy !

Lafayette: Them f*ckers is a whole new dimension of trash.

Scene 8 : Crystal joins Calvin in the woods

Crystal: Daddy !

Calvin: Your happy? This is what happens when you turn your back on your family.

Crystal: I just wanted a taste of the outside.

Calvin: Yeah. Well, you like what you got? A shifter kicks my f*cking ass, and those two cocksuckers give me fanger blood? (spits). How could you want to chase around some human, who would freak the f*ck out if he knew what you are? You really think you can take up with that boy? We ain't supposed to mix ! It's your duty to mate with Felton.

Crystal: But I don't love Felton.

Calvin: You ain't gotta love him. You lie under him, bear his kids, keep his bloodline going. Especially now that you done ruined mine.

Crystal: I can't go back there. I won't. (she leaves)

Calvin: You're dead to me, girl ! You're no daughter of mine !

Scene 9 : Sookie and Bill at Jason's.

Sookie sleeping on the couch, while Bill sat beside watching. The TV is on

The reporter on TV: In the aftermath of vampire t*rror1st Russel Edgington's slaughtering news anchor Jerry McCafferty on live TV, American Vampire League spokeswoman Nan Flanagan is speaking out against the anti-vampire sentiment and hate crimes sweeping the nation. (Bill rises and turns up the volume of the TV).

Nan Flanagan: Look, I do not deny that this was the heinous act of a madman. Russel Edgington is an extremist and a t*rror1st, but that's not because he is a vampire. It's because he is an extremist and a t*rror1st. He is one individual, just as Jeffrey Dahmer was an individual. And I certainly don't recall protests or a call to punish all human men after his at... (Bill turns off the TV because he senses the presence of a vampire outside. The door opens and we see Eric).

Bill: How did you find us?

Eric: Oh, it was really not that hard. I know what Sookie is. (Bill leaves the house. They both walk)

Eric: So is it true that Sookie's blood let you walk in the sunlight? (Bill stops in surprise). Oh ! Sophie-Anne never even told you why she sent you for Sookie.

Bill: I returned to Bon Temps because it is my ancestral home.

Eric: Oh, spare me your lies. I'll just find out on my own.

Bill: Sookie is mine.

Eric: She won't be if you're dead. Is it true?

Bill: No. The blood works for a fews minutes, if that. And you burn a bit slower than you would do without it. But you still burn.

Eric: Well, that's gonna disappoint Sophie-Anne.

Bill: Well, I will die the true death before I let her get her hands on Sookie. Or anyone else, for that matter.

Eric: Russell will come for her.

Bill: Well, you should know, since you're now his butt boy.

Eric: No longer. I killet Talbot.

Bill: So that's why he went medieval on TV. Well, thanks, Eric. You just put our cause back a thousand years. He must be after you for that. Why are you even here?

Eric: I'm trying to save Sookie.

Bill: Oh, give me a break. You don't care about Sookie. You left us in Russell's house to die. What is the f*cking truth, for once?

Eric: The truth? Well, why don't you tell Sookie the f*cking truth, if you really love her?

Sookie (arrives at this point): What truth?

Bill: The truth about what you are, which I've already told you.

Sookie (to Eric): Why are you here? To pretend like you care about my safety, so you can sell me out to Russell again, or is it to the Queen this time?

Eric: You really believe he is trustworthy?

Sookie: All I know is I sure as hell can't trust you. And now that I know what I am and what you want from me, I can promise you will never get it.

Eric: Well, do what you want. I won't be around much longer anyway. I wish you the best, Sookie Stackhouse. (Eric leaves).

Scene 10: Jessica, Arlene, Tommy at Merlotte .

Jessica and Tommy clean the floor. Arlene watches TV. Steve Newlin comments are attacking Russell.

Steve Newlin: This heinous act of pure evil is a blessing, actually, because it finally reveals the true nature of these beasts to us all.

Arlene: Mmm

Steve Newlin: And if I were less of a Christian, I would say, « Told you ». But of course, I take no joy in this dark time.

Tommy (to Arlene): Guess we're on our own for clean up.

Arlene: I ain't filling salt shakers while innocent people are being att*cked by vampires. It was only a matter of time before one of y'all got caught on film.

(Jessica gets up and brutally throws Arlene's plate against a wall).

Arlene: Ah !

Jessica: Okay, we get it. You don't like vampires. Well I don't like narrow minded skinny b*tches with bad dye jobs. But at least I've got the courtesy to keep my mouth shut about it. Most of the time.

I suggest you do the same.

Arlene: Okay. (she begins to leave) : You know, I may be skinny, but I ain't evil. And once evil, always evil ! (she leaves).

Jessica: Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

Tommy (approaching Jessica): Are you kidding? It gave me total wood. (Jessica covers her mouth as his teeth came out). Hey, don't cover 'em up. They're f*cking hot. Anyone ever told you that? (Jessica shakes her head). Arlene's full of sh*t. If that old boyfriend of yours had a problem with you... (He moves a little closer to Jessica and she walks away).

Jessica: He doesn't. He should, but he tells me I shouldn't hide who I am.

Tommy (returning to her) : Then why are you here with me instead of with him?

Jessica: Because he's too good for me.

Tommy (approaching to kiss) : Well, I'm not. (Jessica leaves).

Steve Newlin On TV : ... Enough is enough.

Scene 11: Summer and Hoyt Hoyt in the car. They stop.

Summer: I've been thinking, Bear.

Hoyt: Bear?

Summer: One of them cute, cuddly ones with the big eyes and arms you could squeeze till Tuesday. You're the most special person I ever met. I know seeing Jessica's gotta hurt that big old heart of yours, but I think I know a way to fix that. (She starts to unbutton her dress)

Hoyt: Summer...

Summer: I can tell you're a sexual person, Hoyt Fortenberry, and if that's what it's gonna take to fill up this distance I'm feeling between us...

Hoyt: You don't have to do this.

Summer: I know God wants girls to wait, but I'm right about you. (She takes Hoyt's hand and puts it on her breast). It's gonna take getting used to. I mean, me being warm and all, but maybe you'll like it better.

Hoyt: Summer, listen...

Summer (approaching Hoyt): I'm ready, Bear.

Scene 12: Sookie and Bill at Jason's house. Tara and Jason enter the house.

Jason seeing Bill: Jesus. What...?

Sookie (to Jason who has blood on his shirt): What happened?

Jason: There was a fight at Merlotte's.

Sookie: Jason.

Jason: I don't wanna talk about it. How did you guys get in here?

Sookie: The key on the sill. Is it okay if I stay here a couple days?

Jason: You in some kind of trouble again?

Tara to Bill: What'd you do to her now?

Sookie: Tara.

Bill: It's all right.

Sookie to Bill: No, it's not all right. (à Jason) I have a few werewolves afterme, and a vampire and...

Jason: Jesus.

Tara: Now they're coming here. Great, thanks. Why is it wherever he goes, trouble follows?

Bill: It's almost dawn.

Sookie: Yeah.

Bill: Don't worry about it. I'll go to ground nearby, just in case I'm needed. (He leaves beckoning Jason with him)

Sookie: Tara Mae, now, I know you've been through a lot, but...

Tara : Don't Sook. You're my best friend, and I love you, but no matter what you say, I'm staying the f*ck away from all of 'em.

Sookie: So, what, it's you or Bill now?

Tara: I'm doing whatever I gotta do to survive. I can't help it. I wish 'em all dead for good.

Sookie: You're talking about the man I love.

Tara: He's not a man. They're monsters, and Bill ain't any different from the rest of 'em. They tie you up and duct-tape you so you can't scream. They kidnap you, r*pe you, try to turn you.

Sookie: That's what Franklin did to you?

Tara: And the man you love didn't lift a finger to save me. (Sookie takes Tara in her arms)

Sookie: I'm sorry.

Scene 13 : Jason et Bill in front of Jason's house.

Bill: You have a g*n in the house?

Jason: I got a shotgun in my truck.

Bill: Werewolves are quicker, stronger than you can imagine. sh**t 'em fast, and right between the eyes.

Jason: Mm-hm. Okay, I got this.

Bill: Are you sure? Because I'm counting on you.

Jason: Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I'll take care of her. I promise.

Bill: All right. (he leaves).

Scene 14 : Jesus and Lafayette at her house.

It's morning. Jesus opens a bottle of V.

Jesus: Last night, that guy was as good as dead, but a little bit of this, and he just walks away. It's magic. You ever do it?

Lafayette: Sometimes. On special occasions.

Jesus: I wanna do it with you.

Lafayette: Yesterday morning, you made coffee. I thought today maybe we'd graduate to juice and pancakes.

Jesus: Okay, I know it's powerful.

Lafayette: It's more than powerful, it's unpredictable. It affects everybody different.

Jesus: How does it affect you?

Lafayette: It depends. Where I am, who I'm with.

Jesus: Well, you're safe with me. You gotta know that by now.

Lafayette: Most folks use this for sex, but it can take you much, much deeper.

Jesus: I get that. It helps you connect even more to whatever magic you're already hooked up to.

Lafayette: How do you know that?

Jesus: Because I care for people who live in a different reality. That takes mad intuition.

Lafayette: So you more like a shaman in a Sunday hat.

Jesus: It's in you too. You know that. All you need is a little push. (Jesus puts some V on his finger and put it on Lafayette's tongue, then licks fingers

Lafayette: Oh, Lordy.

Scene 15 : Arlene, Holly, Tommy at Merlotte.

The TV is on.

Reporter on TV: We've just heard that the Special Forces raid on Russell Edgington's residence in Jackson, Mississippi has turned up no clue as to the vampire t*rror1st's whereabouts. In fact, sources say the mansion was as empty as a tomb, no pun intended. As authorities continue to search for Russell Edgington... (Sam arrive).

Arlene (trying to be normal): Well, hey, Sam. How are you this morning?

Sam: Uh. Reason the TV is so loud?

Arlene: Oh, f*ck-a-doo. I am so sorry. I will turn that off right now.

Reporter on TV: ...would allow each class the opportunity to protect... (Arlene turns off the TV)

Sam: I need some coffee.

Tommy: More like hair of the dog, huh? (Terry gets bored).

Sam: Hey, Terry.

Terry: Hey, boss. Sorry I'm late. (He starts to leave for the kitchen)

Sam: Shift don't start for 20 minutes.

Terry (back): Oh, right. Well, sorry for being sorry. (He leaves)

Sam: Okay, everybody, everybody just... You can relax. Okay? I didn't k*ll anybody. Lafayette called me this morning, and the guy is fine. So pretend you're all normal. (Holly approaches him and hands him a tube filled with capsules)

Sam: Why exactly are you handing me marijuana?

Holly: Black cohosh. Brings down your testosterone levels. For your rage. You obviously have a problem.

Sam: Thanks. You got anything that works for nosiness and bad boundaries?

Holly: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just something I do. I give people remedies. I'm a Wiccan.

Sam: Hey, listen. You're new here, so you wouldn't know this, but I got two rules in my bar : no dancing, no religion.

Holly: Good to know.

Sam: Yeah.

Tommy (approaching Sam): Dude, why'd you tell 'em that guy didn't die? You were finally getting some respect.

Sam: Tommy, it's not respect when your employees think you're a psychopath.

Tommy: All know is, was proud of my big brother last night.

Sam: Yeah, well, you're an idiot.

Scene 16 : Terry smoking behind Merlotte.

Arlene arrives with a trash can.

Terry: Secondhand smoke, bad. You carrying a heavy load, bad-bad. (Arlene begins to cry) Arlene? Honey, what's wrong?

Arlene: Oh, Terry. Terry, this baby...

Terry: Are you spotting grayish tissue, having side cramps or experiencing a dull, consistent ache in your lower back?

Arlene: No, I'm fine. It's just...

Terry: You're worried about me and my parenting skills, ain't you? Oh, Arlene, I promise you, I will be the best daddy to our baby...

Arlene: No, Terry. This baby ain't yours. It's Rene's. It's gonna be evil, and I wanna get rid of it. (She waits for his reaction).

Terry: No. I will raise that child as my own. Do you hear me, Arlene? I want to marry you and together we will surround that baby with more love than it can handle. (He takes her in his arms, she cries again).

Terry: It's okay. Just let it out. Let it out.

Scene 17 : Sookie and Jason at Jason's house.

Jason (crying): Oh. Franklin was coming after her. And I just... I fired. One minute he was there, and the next... he was just a big old pile of...

Sookie: You listen to me. Franklin hurt her worse than you and I can imagine. You saved her life.

Jason: No, I didn't.

Sookie: Doesn't feel like it now, but you did the right thing.

Jason: No, I didn't.

Sookie: Look, I know how awful it is to k*ll someone, but you have to remember...

Jason: But I sh*t Eggs. He was coming after Andy with a Kn*fe. And I sh*t him. Dead. And I didn't tell you because before I even had time to think, Andy took over, and I ran. And I didn't know which lies to tell you or Tara. So I didn't tell you any.

Sookie: Tara's gotta know. People always find out, and it hurts them ten times more.

Jason: Like with Eggs, huh? You told him the truth, and look what happened.

Sookie: Jason.

Jason: I'm good at protecting people. It's like the only thing I do right, and that's what I'm doing.

Sookie: You're not protecting her. You're lying to her.

Jason: And they ain't always so different.

Sookie: Yes, they are.

Jason: How would you know, Sook? No one can keep anything from you.

Sookie: Vampires can.

Scene 18 : Jesus and Lafayette.

They took V and under its influence, they dance. They have hallucinations.

Lafayette (seeing religious statuettes dance): Oh, check out Barbies. Look at 'em getting funky now. Mary. Go, girl. They're having fun. That got to be a good thing. f*ck. (The play revolves around them). Going round. Oh ! Your teeth is wobbling. Oh ! Hey. (They see an old woman sitting on the floor).

Lafayette: You know her?

Jesus: Yeah.

The old woman with the voice of Jesus: She could undo very powerful spells. With those oils, she saved many people from evil. (The scene changes).

Jesus and Lafayette: Whoa ! Oh ! Oh ! ho !

They see a woman lying down. Another woman and man are next to her.

Jesus: Oh (He motions to the woman, who notices. She smiles. The young woman lies down)

La femme (standing with the voice of Jesus): Women from all over Mexico came to her for fertility problems.

Lafayette (with the voice of Jesus): The egg will draw her essence up and cleanse it. (It is surprising that Jesus could go through him to speak).

Lafayette: How'd you do that?

Jesus: We're connected, bro. Bye. (The scene changes again. There are two women. One of them is trying to make a powder)

Jesus: Your Great-great-great-grandma Mae and her girl, Winnie. (They spread the powder around their beds).

Lafayette: Never had to share their bed with their master because of that powder.

Jesus (with Lafayette's voice): That's my great-great-grandmama Winnie?

Lafayette (with the voice of Jesus): Yes, sir. Mae was a conjurer.

Jesus: Passed that right down to Winnie.

Lafayette: How come I never knew that?

Jesus: You know now.

Lafayette: Damn.

(The scene changes again. There are stuffed animals, skulls in a voodoo style decor. A man is sat on the ground. He sticks pins in a doll)

Lafayette: Your grandfather?

Jesus: He practiced black arts.

Lafayette: Scared the sh*t out of mi mami. She drug you all over the f*cking world trying to escape him?

Jesus: Because he had big plans for me.

The man screams. Lafayette wakes up suddenly. He is in the arms of Jesus.

Jesus: It's okay. It's o... It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Lafayette: What the f*ck was that?

Jesus: That's my grandfather. A hechicero, a sorcerer.

Lafayette: sh*t !

Jesus: That was f*cking awesome. (Lafayette looks worried).

Scene 19 : Sookie sleeping on the couch at Jason's.

She sees Eric sitting in front of her.

Sookie: I know this is a dream.

Eric: Well, you might as well enjoy it, then.

Sookie: Will your blood ever wear off? I'm tired of dreaming about you.

Eric: No, it's not just the blood. You know you have feelings for me.

Sookie: Ew. (Eric kisses her on the mouth).

Eric: You know you like this. (He kisses her neck). And this. And you know you can't trust Bill. That's not my blood talking. It's your survival instinct. (He starts to bite, but she wakes up with a start. Jason arrives with a tray)

Jason: You okay?

Sookie: Yeah. (She is a little disturbed).

Scene 20 : At Jason's house.

He brings a tray with breakfast to Tara, who is lying in the bedroom.

Jason: Still sleeping? Or you hiding out from Sook?

Tara: From the world, I guess.

Jason: I thought you might be hungry. (Il commence to sortir de la chambre).

Tara: It's okay, you know. I'm sure it's gotta feel weird having to do what you did.

Jason: Tara...

Tara: You saved my life last night. You've been saving me since I was a little girl.

Jason: Yeah. That's what I wanna talk to you about. See, sometimes when you... You try and save people, you end up not. It's almost like your right hand, it's not talking to your other hand. A.. And you don't know which one to listen to 'cause... 'Cause they both wanna do the right thing...

Tara: Jason. I'm trying to say thank you. For last night, and letting me crash. You just get it. (Jason sits on the bed next to Tara)

Jason: Tara, you know I ain't that deep.

Tara: For some reason, you like pretending you're too dumb to know better, do better. But you, you're good. I can count on you. And there ain't much of that left anymore. (She cries, and Jason takes her in his arms)

Jason: It's all right. Just, you know, breathe. (She kisses him).

Jason: Wait.

Tara: No, I'm...

Jason: you don't have to be...

Tara: f*cked up. I'm so totally f*cked up. (She gets up and starts to leave the room. He grabs her by the hand).

Jason: I sh*t Eggs. (Tara is next door watching). Say something. Tara, please. Hit me. Call the cops. Tell me you hate me. Anything. (Tara runs out. Jason enters the room and sees that Sookie is no longer there) Oh, f*ck. (He sees a note from Sookie saying she will be back soon) Motherfuck !

Scene 21 : Jessica at Bill's house.

She sees a flaming cross.

A man's voice outside: Vampers go back to hell ! (Someone throws a stone in a window. She is worried. Bill arrives and reassures her)

Jessica: I can still smell them. (She begins to leave but Bill restrains her) No, we can track them down !

Bill: It's more important than ever that we restrain ourselves.

Jessica: But...

Bill: Even if it is against our nature. (She nodded her agreement)

Scene 22 : Sam in the woods near the Merlotte

There is drinking. He sits and thinks about what it happened in 2003. It is evening, we are in the woods. The man who hit Sam in front of a campfire in the process of counting the money. He has a g*n beside him. The young woman in the back of pick up.

The young woman: How many times you gonna count it?

Man: Until it stops being fun, sweetheart. Sam arrives (turned into a dog). He spies behind the trees.

The young woman: It's all ours, babe. Come to bed. (He starts to join her. The dog approaches the w*apon. Sam becomes human again, he takes the g*n and threatens the man)

Sam: Surprise, assh*le.

Man: What the f*ck?

Sam: Give me my money. (The man gives it to him. He looks quickly at the money) Where's the rest?

Man: It's in the truck.

Sam to the young woman: Get it ! (to the man) Give me your pants. Give me your f*cking pants ! (The young woman looking in the pick up). What the f*ck's taking so long?

The young woman: It spilled ! Just give me a sec !

Man to Sam: You know, she told me all about you. After she'd f*ck you, she'd come crawling back into bed with me. She told me you like to bark in your sleep. Freak.

Sam: Yeah. Yeah, I am a freak. That makes it okay to f*ck me over? (He hits the man, who falls). Huh? Steal my money I was gonna make a new life with? I'll f*ck you over, you greedy piece of sh*t ! (He continues to hit)

The young woman: Stop it ! Stop it, Sam. I will sh**t you, Sam. (She pulls. The b*llet grazes Sam who pulls in return. The young woman falls affected).

Sam: No. No ! (He takes her in his arms). Hey, hey. Honey, stay with me. Stay with... Oh, God, no. No, don't you f*cking die on me. No. (She dies. Sam kills the man crawling on the floor). Fucker.

Scene 23 : Pam, Sookie, Eric at Fangtasia

Eric is sitting in his office. Pam and Sookie enter.

Pam: She insisted.

Eric: She always does. (He motions to Pam out).

Sookie: What did you mean, you're not gonna be around much longer?

Eric: Don't pretend you care about me. This is about Bill. Deep down, you know you shouldn't trust him.

Sookie: Okay. Tell me why. (Eric gets up and approaches her)

Eric: Well, here's the truth. There are forces beyond even my control. If I meet the true death without having at least kissed you, Sookie Stackhouse, that would be my biggest regret.

Sookie: Why does it sound like you're saying goodbye to me?

Eric: Because I am. (He kisses her on the mouth. She begins to push and kisses too, then stops).

Sookie: Okay, I get it. I'm irresistible and intoxicating, but keeping things from me does not exactly help your cause. Tell me why I shouldn't trust Bill. (Pam arrives).

Eric: What?

Pam: Blah, blah, vampire emergency, blah. (Pam and Eric leave the office).

Scene 24 : Pam and Eric at Fangtasia, in the room

Eric: This better be good.

Pam: You're too busy signing wills and making out with the solution instead of using her.

Eric: There isn't any way to use her. It won't work.

Pam: We know Russell wants her. Give her to him to save your own skin.

Eric: No.

Pam: He's gonna get her anyway, sooner or later.

Eric: No. I won't do that to her.

Pam: You're cosing a human over yourself, Eric? Over me.

Eric: Your lack of sentiment has always been your most admirable quality. Do not disappoint me now.

Pam: You would have said and done anything to save Godric. I have no interest in inheriting your farm on Irlande. That place is a windy sh*t hole. If you're not gonna give him Sookie, at least figure out how to use her... and fast. (Elle part).

A car arrives. A prost*tute opens the door and climbs in.

Hoyt (approaching her): I love you. I wanna be with you for everything that you are.

Jessica (dismissively): Oh, you're only saying that because all you see now is the quirky vampire girl who bites her nails. (Hoyt joins her).

Hoyt: You're wrong. I broke up with Summer. I drove up to Caddo Lake, and I spent all day asking God to give me a reason why we can't be together. And a hush came over the water, and all the bugs stopped buzzing and it came to me. There is no reason. (Tommy stops work to listen).

Jessica: Hoyt, if you knew half the sh*t I'd done. It's unimaginable. And I actually liked it. You don't wanna know that part of me.

Hoyt: Well, if you don't wanna be with me because you don't love me, that's something else. But don't tell me what I want and what I don't want. That's my decision to make, and I want you. Tell me you don't love me. Look me straight in the eye and say it, and I'll leave you alone. (Jessica looks at him, saying nothing. Disappointed, Hoyt leaves by the front door. Tommy leaves in the other direction)

Jessica: Oh, Hoyt. I love you too. Now, drink my blood. (He drinks the blood. Tommy looks human again).

Bill (angrily): You promised me you'd look after her !

Jason: Well, I did. But you know better than anyone, Sook's gonna do what Sook's gonna do. And ain't no man or brother's gonna stop her.

Bill (edgy, facing Jason): You gave me your word, Jason. You have let me down. And now... Jason (angrily): Jesus f*ck ! (Jason takes Bill by his shirt collar and shakes him) You think I don't know that? Just shut your f*cking mouth ! And get out of my house ! (Bill looks worried) Yeah. Sookie told me how that works. I take back whatever invitation you got to come inside my f*cking house ! (Bill is forced out. Jason slams the door) m*therf*cker ! (He hears a noise in the room and goes to investigate. He sees a black panther. It's Crystal). Oh, mama.

Tony: I told you, extra 500 to bite me. (Russell pushes him against the wall. Tony is afraid). Ah !

Russell: Oh. Oh, brother. It's all my fault. I will never forgive myself that in end, you were so alone, with no one holding your hand. (He takes Tony's hand as he shows increasing fear) Your beautiful, beautiful hand. It is one thing to face eternity without you, but to have not been with you at the true death... (He takes a stake and thrusts it into Tony's torso) Talbot, you saved me from the world. From myself. I was a fool to trust him. And I am more sorry than I can ever say. (We see the face of Talbot instead of that of Tony. Russell embraces him). I'm so glad we had a chance to say our goodbye.
