Lafayette: Took me some f*cked-up places and showed me some crazy sh*t, but not like today.

Jésus: It was so real.You know, so alive. I...I was telling you things that I didn't even know I knew. I mean, without fasting, without praying, without any other ritual.We time-traveled into ourselves.There were f*cking answers there.

Lafayette: Downshift, boyfriend.I'm a V veteran and I know for a fact the blood can lie.

Jésus: Did that feel like a lie to you?

Lafayette: No.

Jésus: Let's do it again.

Lafayette: Just like a virgin.

Jésus: Oh, come on, baby. Take me back. I want to see my people. I wanna hear what they have to say. I, I feel like... like everything that I need to learn is just one drop away.

Lafayette: Well, boy, you can't control the destination.We can end up in hell or f*cking South Dakota. You don't know what you're doing.

Jésus: Please? Don't make me go back alone.

Lafayette: Look...[Jesus' face momentarily turns monstrous and lunges at Lafayette. Lafayette screams]

Jésus: What?

Lafayette: Stop! Stop !

Jésus: What is it, man? What just happened?

Lafayette: Nothing. Nothing. Just sometimes on V you get a little aftershock.

Jésus: What'd you see?

Lafayette: Nothing.

Jésus: Oh, you saw something.

Lafayette: No, just a head rush of the wrong kind.

Jésus: Okay. It's okay. All right, we'll just, uh...come on.We'll go to bed. All right? It's time for bed. Come on.

Crystal: Yes. A werepanther. Well, I'm... I'm just the same as I've always been. I told you I had secrets, and you said you didn't care.

Jason: I thought it was shoplifting or something. You could've given me a heads-up.

Crystal: That was the only way I knew how to explain.You know, I...I thought you'd understand. I thought you'd be a man.

Jason: I am a man. I was ready to sign up for a meth dealer's daughter.

Crystal: Okay. I know what you think of me now.

Jason: No, I didn't mean...

Crystal: No, just keep blaming me for things that ain't my fault.

Jason: Crystal, my brains feel like scrambled eggs. I got my ass chewed by a vampire, my sister's missing...

Crystal: Oh, poor you! All I gotta do is marry my half-brother and let him breed me till I'm old or dead.

Hoyt: Hey. Hey.Why do I feel like I got muscles where I've never had muscles?

Jessica [she laughs]: It's the blood.

Hoyt: It's you.

Jessica: Maybe a little.

Hoyt: When we broke up, I felt like someone had cut off my arms and my legs. I can't do nothing without you.

Jessica: I missed you so much.

Hoyt: I missed you. [He tries to kiss her]

Jessica: Wait, wait.

Hoyt: Hey. Um...If my arms and legs did get cut off and I drank your blood, would they grow back?

Jessica: We got more important things to discuss.

Hoyt: I love you. I love you. That's all that's important to me. You save me.

Jessica: Yeah, but you don't know.

Hoyt: Don't know, don't care. Kiss me.

Jessica: I k*lled a trucker.

Hoyt: I'm sure that you had to.

Jessica: I didn't. It was an accident.

Hoyt: How?

Jessica: It was after we broke up, and I got too hungry, and I drained him dead. But that was before I learned how to do it right. This is what you think you love. This is what I really am. I tried, but I can't live on Tru Blood. I drink human blood, and I'm not gonna stop.

Hoyt [ immediately offers his own neck]: Drink me.

[Jessica goes right for it. They're both moaning]

Scene 6 : A Museum-Russell, Eric

[Russell is watching a picture on the wall, still carrying Talbot's crystal jar. A dead guard is lying on the floor. Eric comes into the room]

Russell: Talbot adores this one. Adored. I'm having trouble switching tenses. You understand.Why did you do it? Talbot never harmed you.

Eric: You loved him more than anyone. So he had to die.

Eric: I'm about to put an end to your insignificant existence. This is not the time to be obscure.

Russell: A thousand years ago, you brought your wolves among the vikings to butcher a human family. My family. Apparently, you wanted my father's crown for your vast collection of meaningless sh*t.

Russell: [Laughs] My, my ! To lose the one man I ever loved because you miss your mommy and daddy? Well, that is a kick in the pants.

Eric: And there are consequences, even for Russell Edgington.

Russell: Life is absurd. [Laughs] Still, I'm excited to destroy you.

Eric: My loved ones are dead, and now Talbot is dead. We're even.

Russell: Don't beg for mercy. It's such a bore.

Eric: I couldn't help but notice you're expanding ambitions. You're after the whole world now, aren't you? Well, I can help you get it.

Russell: Eric, you are nothing more than a lump of muscle with a blood grudge. You got lucky.You couldn't possibly comprehend what I'm after. We should begin.[He puts down the jar]

Eric: I can offer you the sun.

Russell: Oh, daywalking? Oh, the old myth. That was around when I was turned. You're pathetic.

Eric: It's not a myth, not at all. There have been recent advances. It's been done.

Russell: Go on. Spin your little fairy tale.

Eric: I will show you how to do it. Now, tell me you don't want it.

Russell: I never said I didn't want it. It's the ultimate vampire dream, isn't it? No one could stand against me.

Eric: You would be invulnerable. And if I'm wrong...k*ll me tomorrow.

Russell: Clever boy.[Laughing] To tempt me.

[Eric's cell phone ringing jolly tune.This is Pam:]

Eric: Not a good time.

[Pam and Ginger are in Fangtasia. Ginger is trying to untie Pam]

Pam: No sh*t. Bill and Sookie escaped and Yvetta cleaned out the cash. [She hangs up] Ow.

Oh!

Ginger: I'm so sorry. It was dug in there real good. Can I get you something to make you feel better? [Pam suddenly bites her. Ginger screams]

Scene 7: Sookie's car-Bill, Sookie

Bill: Why did you go to Eric?

Sookie: I had to ask him a question.

Bill: What question?

Sookie: It doesn't matter.

Bill: Look what he did to you. He's betrayed you, used you, drawn you into danger. [Sookie looks him in the face:] Yes, I've made mistakes trying to keep you safe, but I'm nothing like Eric.

Sookie: Of course you're not. I love you, Bill, but after this whole Mississippi mess, I'd be a crazy woman to trust either of you.

Bill: You have feelings for him?

Sookie: Not "feelings" feelings. I... I drank his blood. I can't help it.

Bill: It's more than that.

Sookie: You weren't there on that roof with Godric. I saw a whole other side to him, and it was real.

Bill: When this is over, let's begin again. We'll be new. Will we?

Sookie: I don't know. I don't know if people change, even when they try.

Bill: We can if we want to. Do you want to?

Sookie: You know I do.

Scene 9: Merlotte's- Arlene, Holly, Sam, Terry

Holly: There's no 100-percent guarantee it's gonna work.

Arlene: You already said that.

Holly: And you can always change your mind.

Arlene: Are you trying to talk me out of it?

Holly: You need to know the truth, and I want you to be sure.

Arlene: I'm sure, I'm sure. I just want to get it over with.

Holly: Okay. After work, okay?

[A drunk Sam storms into Merlotte's:]

Sam: Moron! Get out of my way.

Man: Sorry.

Sam [to everybody]: What you looking at, huh? Mind your own g*dd*mn business! [to a woman:] Jesus Christ, you're ugly!

Woman: Well, that's just rude [she leaves].

Arlene [to the woman]: Hey! Hey, you ain't paid your check.

Sam: Where's my whiskey? Keep a bottle back here special for me, and all of y'all know it. Give me back my f*cking whiskey!

Woman: What is his problem?

Terry [trying to help]: Let's, uh, take it easy, Sam.

Sam: Kiss my ass.

Terry: Well, you're hurting. I can tell. Let's go out back and talk about it.

Sam: Who the hell do you think you are?

Terry: I'm your friend.

Sam: I'm your boss.

Terry: This is the liquor talking, Sam. It ain't you.

Sam: No, it is me. All right, get back in the kitchen, you shell-shocked m*therf*cker.

[Arlene gasps]

Arlene: Sam Merlotte. You're gonna hate yourself for saying that. You apologize to Terry right now.

Sam: No.

Arlene: How could you be so hateful and mean? He breaks his back for you. He looks up to you. He loves you.

Sam: That ain't my problem.

Holly: Look, I get that you're in a mood, but you're polluting our positive energy vibes, and it's k*lling our tips.

Arlene: Quit scaring the customers off. Just go home and pass out.

Sam: Hey, let's get this straight. I don't take sh*t from you. Okay? You work for me. This is my place. So you b*tches do your job and shut the f*ck up.

Arlene: Sam!

Holly: Nobody talks to me that way, okay? You'll wait your own g*dd*mn tables.Come on, Arlene, let's go. Grab the salt.

Arlene: Why?

Holly: I forgot to bring mine.

Kitch: Hut! Hut![men grunting]

Kitch: Come on, get this. Hut! Hut! Run! Hut! Hut!

Tammy[to Kitch]: Kitch, you said you'd come back to the house with me and watch me try on outfits.

Maxine: What are you doing here at this time of night?

Summer: It didn't work, Mrs. Fortenberry. Hoyt doesn't want me.

Maxine: Oh, darn it all to heck. Dagnabit. Shitfire. I could ring his big old neck. How could I bring up a child so willful and dumb?

Summer: I... I even offered him my virginity, and he turned me down flat.

Maxine: Oh, Summer. I appreciate that. Even if you broke God's law.

Summer: It's my fault. I'm not tall like her. I can't even reach stuff on my own closet shelf without a grabber. And I'm not pretty like her.

Maxine: Oh, don't say such a thing. She's not even alive, and you are cute as pigs.

Summer: I baked for him. I opened up my heart to him. Even showed him my best underwear. There's nothing else I could do.

Maxine: You are not to blame, honey. That redheaded bloodsucker put a spell on him.

Summer: I'm sorry I failed you. I'll never get over my bear.

Maxine: Oh, don't you dare give up. We are not finished. Not by a long sh*t.

Sam: Thanks a lot.

[Tara heads right for the box where Andy is sitting]

Andy: Hey, Tara.

Tara: Mind if I sit?

Andy: Well, no. I guess not. How you doing? Looks like Sam had one too many. I never saw him, uh, this way. [Tara stares at him] If you're hungry, you can eat my rings. I didn't touch 'em. My stomach ain't what it was, you know. I used to drink hot sauce straight out of the bottle. That was a good time.[She still stares at him. He seems embarrassed] I need a refill.You want anything?[he gets up]

Tara: I know about Eggs.[Andy sits down again] You must think you're pretty slick. Yeah, you're the sh*t.Got your picture in the paper and a big promotion. Andy Bellefleur, American hero. It's all working out so good, right? But I see what you are. Liars, murderers. [Inhales deeply] Jason k*lled him, and you covered it up.You're a dirty, dirty cop.

Andy: What are you gonna do?

Tara: What can I do? Nobody cares about Eggs except me. And I'll miss him for the rest of my life. But the three of us will always know he didn't deserve to die.

Andy: Well, I don't feel like a hero. I never wanted nothing like this to happen. It was all Maryann. He was innocent. God help me. If I could do it again, if I could go back and just get a hold of Jason's g*n, if Eggs would have listened and put the Kn*fe down, but he... he was bound and determined to die. I couldn't stop him. Jason didn't know. I'm sorry. Tara, I'm so sorry.

[In the back room. Sam asks Tommy to wait tables]

Sam: Take some orders.

Tommy: I ain't the waitress.

Sam: You are now.[he gives him the notebook. Tommy doesn't want it]

Tommy: Yeah, well, I don't need this. I'll remember it.

Sam: The hell you will. The kitchen needs a g*dd*mn ticket. Do what I tell you and do it right.

Tommy [throwing the notebook]: f*ck that !

Sam: Pick it up!

Tommy: You pick it up! Look at yourself. Drunk and yelling. You're nothing but Joe Lee in a Sam suit.

Sam: You ungrateful little punk. All I've done is help you, and all you've done's been a whiny-ass bitch! I'm through with you! You're fired! Pack up your sh*t. Get the f*ck out of my rental.

Tommy: Wait. I lost my temper. It's... it's nothing. I'm sorry. See? See? I ain't mad anymore.[he picks up the notebook]

Sam: Did you not hear me?

Tommy: You're my brother, Sam. You said that you...

Sam: I'm sick of you. All right? It's over now.

Tommy: You're the only one I know around here. Where am I supposed to go?

Sam: I don't care. [Sam goes into dining room and tells everybody:] All of you, get out of here! I want this place empty in two minutes.Merlotte's is f*cking closed, g*dd*mn it. I don't want your f*cking money. I want you gone. Now.

Scene 13: Sookie's car- Bill, Sookie, Russell, Eric

Sookie: I tell you what. That dungeon this time did me in.

Bill: Well, if you'd stayed put as I asked you to...

Sookie: I know. But I was sitting there in the dark, and I thought, "I am done with this sh*t."

Bill: That's why we need a fresh start. We'll be free of it, I promise you.

Sookie: What would that be like? Who would we be if we were normal? It's hard to even picture it.Would we live in Gran's house or your house?

Bill: Both. We'd be married, happily married.

Sookie: And I'm not a waitress anymore. I'm... I'm going to college. No, I'm a real estate agent,

and I'm really, really rich.

Bill: I teach third grade and I love my job.

Sookie: We'll have a...a big flower garden.

Bill: We grow vegetables.

Scene 14: Out in the woods-Holly, Arlene

[Holly performs a ritual with Arlene]

Holly: We cast the circle with candles, flame of the spirit. We draw the circle with salt for protection and purity.

Arlene: Amen.[Inhales deeply]

Holly: Great mother, we invoke you. Blessed be.[Birds squawking. Grass rustling] Okay, she's here. You feel her?

Arlene: I... I feel something. My mama passed away a couple years ago. She didn't approve of me,

but we were...we were real close.

Holly: My mama hated me. Guess that's what got me looking for the real thing. You sure you're totally healthy?

Arlene: Gyno ran all the tests. I got the body of a tired teenager. That's for me?

Holly: Oh God, no. No, no. These are oils.You'd fall over dead. You need a decoction.

Arlene: A de-what?

Holly: It's like herbal tea. I'll show you how to make it and when to take it. I wrote it down.You need to follow the directions exactly. Okay? I mean to the letter.

Arlene: I will.

Holly: Well, this'll be ready in a little minute. Some people like to pray before, you know, help 'em get focused.

Arlene: I don't know if God's on board for this.

Holly: Talk to your mother's spirit.

Arlene: Uh, I can't. She'd k*ll me.

Holly: Then talk to the great mother. She's God too. Oh, just don't step outside the circle.

[Arlene looks to the sky :]

Arlene: I never thought of God as a woman. But if you're with me tonight, maybe you are. And, mama, if you can hear me, would you listen? Really just listen for once? You gotta know

this is the right thing to do. It's... it's the only way to be sure that Rene will never pass his sickness on to the world. Then... Coby and Lisa and Terry will be safe, and I won't have to live my whole life in fear. And the baby won't have to be a crazed k*ller. I don't believe in abortion. I'm doing what needs to be done.

[Holly hands Arlene a glass, adding a drop of Arlene's blood before she drinks it:]

Holly: First time you take it, needs a drop of blood.

Arlene: Why is that?

Holly: Sacrifice. Nothing's free.But if the spirit is meant to be born, it'll be born and there's nothing we can do about it. It's in the hands of the goddess now.

Arlene: I understand.

Holly: Four times a day for up to five days.

Arlene: Sip it or sh**t it?

Holly: sh**t it.[Arlene drinks it] Blessed be.

2nd player: I got nothing left, man.

[They leave. Jason approaches Kitch:]

Kitch: Well, grandpa Stackhouse. You come to wish me luck?

Jason: You don't need luck, Kitch. You're on V.

Kitch: I'm not saying I am, but if I was, so what?

Jason: V's a illegal substance. That makes you a criminal, a drug abuser and a cheater.On top of which, you're already a cocky bullshit m*therf*cker.

Kitch: Is that right?

Jason: I'm taking you down, boy. I'm gonna tell your coach, your mom and daddy, and your principal.

Kitch: My coach is the one who gave me the V.

Jason: Bullshit.

Kitch: My parents are paying for it. My principal, he uses it for his sex life. They won't care what you say, and you can't prove it. There are no tests that can trace it.

Jason: That ain't fair. I was an athlete out there. I didn't get help from nothing or nobody but my team.That's the way it's supposed to be.

Kitch: Look at the pros. Everybody's taking something. No dope, no glory.

Jason: My record stands, assh*le.You're no athlete. You never will be.

Kitch: Well, that's funny. See, there's a scout from LSU coming to the game especially to hand me

a scholarship.See, I won't have to stay here and join the chain g*ng like you.

[Footsteps approaching]

Tammy: Kitch!

Sam: Well, it ain't true. I got nobody.

Tara: You got me.

Sam: Do I?

Tara: I'm here, aren't I?

Sam: Nobody knows me.

Tara: It's not like you make it easy.

Sam: Yeah, people think of Sam, as like,"Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's nice."."Yeah, I'll go ask him to do some inconvenient shitty thing and he'll do it, because he's such a good guy."Or, "Yeah, I'll... I'll treat Sam like a cow pie. He won't mind. He's so nice."[Laughs]

Tara: Not one person in the world thinks that about me.[Laughs] "Don't invite Tara to the party.She'll get pissed off and b*at the cat.","Put away the wedding China. Tara's coming over."

Sam: You know, the secret is...

Tara: What's the secret?

Sam: We're not so different.

Jason: I'm not playing. I mean it. No one in this town is what they're supposed to be. So you turn into a panther.What the hell? That ain't so bad. Besides, I love you.

[Crystal seems very happy]

Crystal: You love a girl from Hotshot !

Jason: Not anymore. You ran away.

Crystal: No, I tried, but I'm going back, and I want you to come with me.We gotta stop that raid.

Jason: Why?

Crystal: Because all those innocent kids.

Jason: Crystal, I saw a boy there once, he was making awful noises and chewing on something dead.

Crystal: That's my double cousin. He ain't right, but he never hurt nobody.

Jason: We can't go against the de-f*cking-a.

Crystal: We don't got no choice. Felton and daddy are crazy. I've heard 'em say it. They will light that whole place on fire and everybody in it.

Jason : It'll be waco all over again ?

Crystal: I'm going.With or without you.

Scene 21: Fangtasia-Russell, Sookie, Eric, Bill, Pam

[Everybody is inside Fangtasia. Bill is tied to a post. Sookie is sitting in front of Russell]

Russell: Fairies?[Chuckles]You seriously expect me to believe she's fairy? A species extinct for millennia? If they ever existed at all.Do you think I wouldn't notice if there were fairies bouncing around in the world?

Eric: I didn't say she was full fairy. She's a human-fairy hybrid, which helps save her from detection.She may well be the last of her kind, your only chance to walk in the sun.

Russell [skeptical]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eric: Drink her blood. You'll see.

Sookie[exclaims]: Now, that's just nuts. Nothing in my blood is a supernatural sunscreen for y'all. Why would you even think that?

Bill: Sookie, you're wrong. What Eric says is true.

Sookie [upset]: No!

Bill: I never told you.

Eric [to Russell]: Bill's experienced it for himself.

Russell: Oh, well, that's reassuring. A testimonial from the mendacious Mr. Compton.

Sookie [to Bill]: A new beginning? We'll start over?

Bill [to Russell]: I can't force you to believe it. You'll have to see for yourself.

Sookie [to Bill]: Why are you doing this to me?

Bill [to Sookie]: We've tried fighting him. We'll never win. If he develops a taste for your blood, he may let you live.

Sookie: Bill, please.

Eric [to Russell]: So?

Russell: I'm intrigued.

Eric: Excellent.

Sookie [to everybody]: I hate you. I hate you all.

Russell: On one condition.

Eric: Whatever you like.

Russell: You go first.

Eric: I'd love to.

Scene 22: In hospital-Arlene, Terry, Dr Robideaux

Arlene [to Terry]: Please stop worrying.Hey. It's just God's way of telling us this child wasn't meant to be. Didn't you read that in some of your books?

Terry: Yeah. Yeah, I did.But I never thought it would happen to us.

Arlene: I know. It happens to a lot of people.

Terry: You shouldn't have been working. I should've been doing every little thing for you.

Arlene: Oh, shh. Life goes the way it goes, okay? We just have to accept it and... and move on.[Terry starts crying again] Oh, honey. Don't cry.

Dr Robideaux [comes into the room]: The results are back.

Arlene: Oh, doctor, please tell my guy everything's gonna be okay.

Dr Robideaux: Yeah, it's gonna be okay.

Terry: Thank the lord.

Dr Robideaux: Arlene, you may need to spend a few days in bed.

Arlene: Whatever you say, doc.

Terry: I'll make sure she does. I don't wanna lose her too.

Dr Robideaux: Oh, you haven't lost anything. The baby's still on board.

Arlene [stunned]: What?

Doctor Robideaux [chuckling] : You got a strong little critter in there.

Terry[ thrilled]: Yeah! Oh!

Dr Robideaux: Congratulations.

Arlene [not so thrilled]: Yay.

Scene 23: Fangtasia-Russell, Sookie, Eric, Bill, Pam

[The sun has come up. Russell talks to Sookie. Pam takes Eric aside]

Russell: Now, what other fairy secrets are you keeping, Miss Stackhouse? Do you have wings? Do you...?

Pam [to Eric]: Don't do it. What if it doesn't work?

Eric: Oh, it'll work. [Pam starts crying] Oh, come on. What's this?

Pam: Nothing. It's bleeds.

Eric: You know I love you more when you're cold and heartless.[He kisses Pam on the forehead before joining everybody else. Then he asks Russell:] Shall we?

Russell: Do let's.

Bill: One caveat, gentlemen. If you drain her completely, that's the last fairy blood you'll ever drink.

Eric: Good point !

Russell: We are schooled. Onward to adventure !

Sookie [to Bill]: If this is you trying to help me, thanks for nothing.

[Eric stares at Sookie, he seems hesitant]

Russell: Oh, for God's sake !

[Suddenly, Russell bites Sookie's wrist, then Eric bites her neck. Russell and Eric drink from Sookie while she screams]

Scene 24: Fangtasia-Eric, Russell, Sookie, Bill, Pam

[Eric opens the door. He walks outside into the sun and is fine. He seems stunned. Russell and Pam watch him from the security camera. Sookie fainted, she's unconscious]

Bill: Unchain me. I have to feed Sookie.

Russell [to Pam.They don't pay attention to Bill]: It's fairies. f*cking fairies. Who knew?

[Eric motions for them to come outside as small wisps of smoke come from his skin]

Eric [talks to himself in a foreign dialect]: Don't let them see.

Bill: Let me go or she'll die !

Russell [to Pam]: My hands are shaking.[Laughs] I feel like a little child. Thousands of years of night.You can't know.[He's crying]

Pam: What are you waiting for?

[Russell leaves the room ]

Bill: I have to feed Sookie. She needs my blood now! Pam, let me go!

[Russell walks outside and he is overjoyed]

Russell: Oh! It's glorious. It's sublime.

[He turns to Eric and sees that his face is now blistering. Eric handcuffs his arm to Russell with silver manacles]

Russell: Ah! Silver.You traitor. f*cking madman!

[The two fall to their knees and begin to burn. Russell screams]

Eric: Be brave. We'll die together.
