Sookie Stackhouse Quotes

	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Maryann Forrester: [as Sookie is hauled into the living room] Just in time. Sookie Stackhouse: What the hell are you doing in my grandmother's wedding dress? Maryann Forrester: [happily] Welcome Sookie. You're going to be my maid of honor.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Sookie Stackhouse: You have no right to wear that dress! Maryann Forrester: I know I should have asked you, but I couldn't find you. You'll probably never use it anyway. Sookie Stackhouse: Oh go to hell! Maryann Forrester: Please don't be so negative. It is my day. Sookie Stackhouse: And you're in my house and those are my friends!
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Sookie Stackhouse: [to Maryann] I don't know how you did what you've done to them, but I will not let this happen!
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Maryann Forrester: [after everyone has left] I'm all yours. Give it your best. Sookie Stackhouse: My best what? Maryann Forrester: The electricity. Do it again. Sookie Stackhouse: I can't. It's never happened to me before. I don't even know what it was. Maryann Forrester: [happily] I've never felt anything like it. It was like nature herself was shooting out from your fingertips.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Maryann Forrester: [after Sookie tries to replicate the power and smacks Maryann] That's hitting me. You're not committing to this at all. Sookie Stackhouse: I do not have electrical powers. I am a human being! Maryann Forrester: You keep saying that, but if you were human... [vibrating and stopping] I would've taken you over by now. Come on, it'll be our little secret. What are you? Sookie Stackhouse: I'm a waitress. What the fuck are you?
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Maryann Forrester: Think back. Wasn't there a time when you felt someone or something watching over you? Sookie Stackhouse: Yes. God. Maryann Forrester: [snickering] Well, you can call it that. But it's not the same one the blind billions worship and in your heart of hearts, you know it. Sookie Stackhouse: Fine then. What am I? Maryann Forrester: You're definitely beyond human. I live off human energy and your I can't channel. That's very rare, though surprisingly not unqiue in this town. Sookie Stackhouse: [trying to understand] Sam. You're marrying Sam? Maryann Forrester: Please. My husband is a god. Sam is-is just the ideal wedding gift... oh it's been such a long wait. [tearing up] I'm sorry. I'm getting a little over excited. I'll smear everything. Sookie Stackhouse: How do you know he's coming tonight? Maryann Forrester: Oh no time has ever been more perfect. I'm know my special sacrifice is on his way. [Sam] Sookie Stackhouse: He's done nothing to you! Maryann Forrester: He is the vessel. He appeared to me naked. A virgin drawn to the very statue that represents the birth of my god. 'Should have sacrificed him than and there. But I foolishly let him get away. Sookie Stackhouse: By sacrifice, does that involve cutting out his heart? Maryann Forrester: It's the food of the gods. My husband will love it. It's the very thing that gives him life. Sookie Stackhouse: You'll never get Sam. He's gonna escape you.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Tara Thornton: I'm so sorry for bringin' all this craziness into your house. I got cuked in 'cause she made me feel like I was part of a family or something. Sookie Stackhouse: Hey, you have a family. We're family.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Beyond Here Lies Nothin' Sookie Stackhouse: [finishing her dessert] It's a good thing you don't eat, 'cause I wouldn't share it with anyone. I think of a better way to top off the best meal of my life. Bill Compton: I do have one last thing. [hands her an evelope] Sookie Stackhouse: [opening it] Plane tickets?... Where's Burlington? Bill Compton: It's in Vermont. Sookie Stackhouse: Why would we... Bill Compton: Here's the other part [takes out a jewel box and pushes it to her hands. She opens it to find a diamond ring] Ms. Stackhouse, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? That is assuming last night did not scare you off weddings for good. [as she says nothing] Sookie say something. Sookie Stackhouse: [tearing up] I've dreamed of this since I was a little girl... In my dreams I always say 'yes'. Bill Compton: Than it ought to be easy. Sookie Stackhouse: Then why can't I say it? My heart's flying around in my chest. I can't even think straight. My life's inside out. With all that's happened I'm not sure about anything. I don't even know if I'm human! Bill Compton: What? Sookie Stackhouse: Maybe I am some kind of freak. I've only met one other person in the world like me and who even knows where he is? And what happens when I grow old and weak and you're still the same, what then? Bill Compton: Sookie, I don't care about any of that. I want you just as you are. Sookie Stackhouse: But I'm not even sure what I am! Bill Compton: Are you saying no? Sookie Stackhouse: No I'm saying... I don't know what I'm saying. I need a minute to clean myself up. I'm sorry. [leaves the table]
	Season 2 / Episode 11: - Frenzy Lafayette Reynolds: What was it like inside Tara's head? Sookie Stackhouse: Like there was no limit. Like anything could happen and probably will. You feel your insides expanding but there's also this... this emptying out right at the very center of your being and you don't want it to stop, ever. Lafayette Reynolds: Damn, that's deep.
	Season 2 / Episode 11: - Frenzy Sookie Stackhouse: How's your leg? Lafayette Reynolds: [flexing his knee] Better than ever. Sookie Stackhouse: How'd that happen? Lafayette Reynolds: Eric made me drink his mother-fuckin' blood is how that happened. Sookie Stackhouse: Me too. He tricked me! Lafayette Reynolds: Somebody need to slap that bitch. Sookie Stackhouse: I have. Lafayette Reynolds: [proud] Look at you. Sookie Stackhouse: Have you had... any dreams about him? Lafayette Reynolds: [incredulously] Now Sook, how would you know about that? Sookie Stackhouse: What kind of dreams? Lafayette Reynolds: He's always in my head. Sex dreams is all kinda nasty and fantastic, which freaks me the fuck outs because I hates that mother-fucker more than you'll ever know.
	Season 2 / Episode 11: - Frenzy Sookie Stackhouse: We just need to get in, get Tara, and get the hell out.
	Season 2 / Episode 11: - Frenzy Sookie Stackhouse: [in the trees, looking at her home] My gran lived and died in that house and now it's like people who were the exact opposite of everything she was... are defiling her... I almost got raped in Dallas, but this is so much worse. Lafayette Reynolds: Don't take it personal, Sook. They ain't themselves and they're not doin' it on purpose. Sookie Stackhouse: First time I met Maryann I knew there was somethin' seriously off about her. She was thinkin' creepy foreign stuff and I could tell it wasn't good. Lafayette Reynolds: You couldn't have stopped this. Sookie Stackhouse: How come there's so much wrong in the world, Lafayette? How come so many people are willing to do bad things and hurt other people? Lafayette Reynolds: 'Cause they're weak. Sookie Stackhouse: Well I am not weak and I am not afraid! I am gonna kick that evil bitch's ass outta my gran's house.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Sookie Stackhouse: [entering his room] Eric? Eric Northman: ...[bereaved] Godric is gone. Sookie Stackhouse: I know. I'm so sorry.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Jason Stackhouse: I'm goin' to Merlotte's and find out what the hell's happenin' on my turf! Bill Compton: Jason, if it is the same creature we think it might be, you don't wanna go any where near it. Trust me. Jason Stackhouse: Mr. Compton, I ain't about to sit back and let some monster destroy my town. Sookie Stackhouse: Jason, this would be one of 'those' times to use your head. Jason Stackhouse: Oh I am. I ain't never been so clear in my whole life. This here, is the war I've been training for.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Maryann Forrester: [catching Bill and Sookie] What are you doing in my house? Sookie Stackhouse: This is 'not' your house! Maryann Forrester: [wickedly] It is now. Bill Compton: [to Maryann] I strongly suggest you remove yourself immediately! Maryann Forrester: [about Bill] My, you found yourself quite a specimen. Though I dare say there's nothing stopping him from one day leaving you cold. Sookie Stackhouse: You don't scare me.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Sookie Stackhouse: [driving as Bill retches out the window] Bill? Bill Compton: [sitting back] I'm alright. Sookie Stackhouse: No, you are not alright! None of this is alright. I'm callin' Eric! [as Bill vomits again] Bill Compton: I will not turn to Eric! Sookie Stackhouse: I've got to get you to Dr. Ludwig. Bill Compton: [sitting back again] Sookie, What happened back there? What did you do to her? [Maryann] Sookie Stackhouse: I don't know. I swear. It was Maryann that attacked me in the woods, even though I don't have a scar. I could feel her there on my back when she was touchin' me. Bill Compton: I will kill her! Sookie Stackhouse: Good. How? Bill Compton: Tara has been under Maryann's influence. Maybe she could be of some help to us.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Tara Thornton: [coming out of her trance, crying] Oh my god. I'm crazy... I'm weak. Sookie Stackhouse: No, no. It wasn't you. It was not you.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - New World in My View Sookie Stackhouse: I've know Tara my whole life and every trace of her was gone. Replaced. And here I thought vampires were the only one's who could hypnotize people. Bill Compton: No offense Sookie, but humans are shockingly susceptible to just about every form of thought manipulation. Sookie Stackhouse: It's all comin' from Maryann. All of it. She-she eats people's hearts and she wants more. She wants their souls and that chant... Bill Compton: Chant? Sookie Stackhouse: Lo lo Bromios, lo lo Dendrites, Eleutherios, Enorches, Bacchus. Bill Compton: [very serious] Bacchus! Sookie Stackhouse: Bill... I've seen that look on your face before and I don't like it. Bill Compton: I read about some ancient creatures many years ago. But I always assumed it was just a myth. But I believe Maryann might be one. Sookie Stackhouse: What is she and more importantly, how do we kill her? Bill Compton: I do not know how to defeat her, but I do know one vampire who might.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up Sookie Stackhouse: [During Sookie's Dream] There's love in you. Eric Northman: Only for Sookie.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up Sookie Stackhouse: [gasping as she pushes Eric off of her] Can't breathe. You weigh a ton! [shouting] Jason? Jason! [seeing him not far and turning back to Eric] 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]
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up Sookie Stackhouse: I didn't have any say about being normal. We're born the way were are.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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?
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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] 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] 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] 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.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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]
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up Godric: [on the roof w/ 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] 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] 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]
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - I Will Rise Up 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]
