Sookie Stackhouse Quotes
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Shake and Fingerpop Bill Compton: [to Hoyt] Are you gonna leave or am I gonna have to throw you out! Through a window that is closed! Sookie Stackhouse: Bill, that is just rude! Bill Compton: Sookie, I've got this. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Shake and Fingerpop Bill Compton: We established there was to be no hunting in this house. Jessica Hamby: I know you feel like shit because you had to make me and you should feel like shit! But guess what? I'd never kissed a boy before that. Meetin' Hoyt is the only good thing that's happened to me since... my whole new life started. No, I'm not ready for any thing to happen to fast. I-I'd been happy just to go on kissin' him all night long... Is it my fault my fangs come out when I get turned on? [realizes what that means and runs up stairs] Sookie Stackhouse: I think I'm gonna like her. Bill Compton: Sookie, do not make the mistake of thinkin' you two can be girlfriends. She is... Sookie Stackhouse: Yeah, I get it. She's a vampire. Believe me, I learned my lesson about that. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Shake and Fingerpop Tara Thornton: So, why'd ya all pick Dallas for your trip? Sookie Stackhouse: Bill has some business there. Tara Thornton: Oh, hell. Do those vampires wanna use your mind readin' again? Sookie Stackhouse: I'll have Bill there to protect me. Tara Thornton: Sook, why are you even with this guy if he makes you do these things? The sex can't be that good? Sookie Stackhouse: Oh, it's pretty good and I love him. Tara Thornton: What? Yeah... Sookie Stackhouse: You can't just sit around, savin' your heart for some perfect idea of a man who is never gonna come along. Life is too damn short. Besides Bill's not 'making' me do anything... I agreed to this to save your fool cousin. Thank you very much. Tara Thornton: Lafayette? Sookie Stackhouse: He didn't tell you? Tara Thornton: Tell me what? I didn't even know he was back. Is he okay? |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 4: - Shake and Fingerpop Sookie Stackhouse: [chasing after Sam] I know it seems like I led you on, but cut me soem slack. My grandmother had just been murdered, Rene was after 'me', and I didn't think Bill was ever comin' back. Sam Merlotte: [stopping] Christ, Sookie! I really don't have time for this. Sookie Stackhouse: Well, if you care about our friendship I suggest you make time for it. Sam Merlotte: Look, I got serious shit I'm dealin' with right now. Makin' you fell better is not high on my list. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: The more open my mind gets, the more evil I see. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [to Eric, about Lafayette] You ought to be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to him! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Bill Compton: [to Sookie] Are you still angry about our fight? Sookie, none of that matters anymore. Sookie Stackhouse: You're right. I'm alive and in one piece. Unlike my friend Lafayette who Eric chained up like an animal and left to bleed to death. Bill Compton: What? Sookie Stackhouse: You better not have known anything about this, Bill Compton. Because if you did, I don't think I could ever forgive you! Bill Compton: I have no idea what you're talking about. Eric Northman: [behind them] I imagine she's referring to the human in my basement... The human who traded sexual services with a vampire in order to sell his blood - which as you know is a grave offense. Sookie Stackhouse: [to Eric] His name is Lafayette and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to him. [slaps him] Bill Compton: Sookie! Eric Northman: [unfazed] I'm glad you're feeling better and may I add that color suits you very well. [refering to her red shirt] Sookie Stackhouse: Go to hell! Bill Compton: [holding her back] Sookie! Enough! Sookie Stackhouse: Oh it's not nearly enough. They've tortured him and bitten him and shot him and kept him down there in his own filth for weeks. Bill Compton: [to Eric] Is this true? Eric Northman: There are others who would have done far worse and you know it. Sookie Stackhouse: You're gonna let him go right now or I swear, I'm going to the police. Eric Northman: [draws his fangs] I do not respond well to threats!... But perhaps we could come to some sort of arrangement. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [arriving at Bill's house] See, I knew it. Underneath that tough vampire exterior, you're nothing but a big softy. Bill Compton: Don't tell nobody. Sookie Stackhouse: [looking at the clothes] Wow, this is a lot of pink, Bill. I'm sure Jessica will love it. Bill Compton: Yes, well I remember when ladies clothing stores sold petticoats. Sookie Stackhouse: [giggling] That's just weird. Bill Compton: Actually, I kinda miss my times. They left something to the imagination. Unfastenin' 'em required a certain skill. Sookie Stackhouse: I think there's a Halloween store around here that might still have some. Bill Compton: [grinning] You are such a tease. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Eric Northman: [to Sookie] You surprise me. That is rare quality in a breather Sookie Stackhouse: [seething] You disgust me. Eric Northman: Perhaps I'll grow on you. Sookie Stackhouse: I'd prefer cancer! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [to Bill, about Jessica] I'm sorry. She promised she was just gonna look in the window. I know I made a mistake. But they're her family. Bill Compton: [enraged] She is a vampire! She has no family! Jessica Hamby: [crying] I'm a monster and I'm gonna be alone forever because of you! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Bill Compton: [to Sookie, about Jessica] You undermined my authority as her maker! You risked those people's safety and your own! If I had not glamoured them with in an inch of their sanity, both our lives would have shattered! Sookie Stackhouse: I know. I'm sorry! Bill Compton: You keep sayin' that and I am expected to what? Forget this ever happened? Sookie Stackhouse: What else do you want me to say? I know when she asked me to take her, I should say no. But all I could think about was Gran and what I would give to see her again. Bill Compton: That does not give you license to behave like an irresponsible child! She is a loaded gun, Sookie. Not a doll for you to dress up and play with! Bill Compton: What are you doing? Sookie Stackhouse: Walking! Bill Compton: Don't be ridiculous. Bon Temps is nearly 20 miles away! Sookie Stackhouse: [walking away] I'd rather walk all night then spend another second in that car with you! Jessica Hamby: [to Bill, after he gets back in the car] She wants you to go after her. She wants you to go after her and kiss her and tell her that you love her. Bill Compton: She will come back, when she calms down... she will come back. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Bill Compton: [after finding her bloody] Sookie... What did this to you? Sookie Stackhouse: [choking] Bull... human... I couldn't see... Bill, I can't move. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [in the woods, hearing crackling sounds] Bill?... Bill, if you're trying to scare so I'll get back in that car with you, it isn't gonna work. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [gasping, hurt] Am I dying? Dr. Ludwig: Yes. Bill Compton: No! She cannot die! You will save her! Dr. Ludwig: Back off, vampire. Let me do my job! Eric Northman: Forgive him. Bill is abnormally attached to this human. Dr. Ludwig: [working on Sookie] Well, we don't have a lot of choices. She's been poisoned. You ever heard of Komodo dragons? Their mouths are teaming with bacteria. After one has bitten you it will track you for hours, days just waiting for the toxins to slowly eat away at your nervous system. 'Til you're good and helpless. Then it will devour you alive. Sookie Stackhouse: [gasping] I was... scratched by a dragon? Dr. Ludwig: No, but this poison is similar but way more efficient. I don't think I've seen it before but it's hard to tell without further testing and we don't have that kind of time. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [to Eric] So if I agree to go to Dallas to help look for this missing vampire, you'll let Lafayette go? Bill Compton: No! You nearly died last night. You are not going to Dallas. Bill Compton: Bill, I can make up my own mind. Eric Northman: I will pay all of your expenses, of course. And yes, I will release your friend. Sookie Stackhouse: And I want $5,000. Sookie Stackhouse: I've missed a lot of work and I need a new driveway. Eric Northman: [to Bill] Your human is getting cocky. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 3: - Scratches Sookie Stackhouse: [while driving home with Bill] I use to get so mad when people judged vampires just for being different. It's like they were judging me too. I told myself their fear was nothing but small mindedness. But maybe that's what I wanted to believe. 'Cause the more open my mind gets, the more evil I see. Bill Compton: Sookie, most of us, vampire, human or otherwise are capable of both good and evil. Often simultaneously. Sookie Stackhouse: You can't expect me to believe that Eric is capable of anything good. Not after how he tortured Lafatette. Bill Compton: I have had worse sheriffs. Sookie Stackhouse: I don't understand how you can defend him. Bill Compton: He saved your life. Sookie Stackhouse: I can still hate him. Bill Compton: I hate that he maybe putting you in harms way once again, for his own selfish reasons. And I hate that he has shown your the barberousness we call justice. If I could glamour it away for you, I would. Sookie Stackhouse: I'm glad you can't. I'm sick of things sneakin' up on me. Rene and what ever the hell that was that attacked me last night. If I'm never gonna be safe, I'd rather know what to be affraid of. Bill Compton: Well, after last night I hope that doesn't include me. Sookie Stackhouse: I know there is evil in you. I know there is and it scares the hell outta me. But you're right. There's goodness in you too and when I look in your eyes, that's what I see. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: Another first. Bill Compton: How do you mean? Sookie Stackhouse: We've never had 'make up' sex before. Bill Compton: How does it compare to 'you thought I was dead' sex? Sookie Stackhouse: That was pretty great too, but I wouldn't want to go through that again. I hated feeling like I'd lost you. Bill Compton: Yet, you like fightin' me. Sookie Stackhouse: I don't like too. I just... Bill Compton: Let's not get too used to it then. We don't want to be one of 'those' couples. Sookie Stackhouse: You're right... holy f. I am so embarrassed, I could die. Bill Compton: What is it? Sookie Stackhouse: Jessica. I completely forgot she was here. Do you think she heard us? Bill Compton: No! If she had, she'd had no compunction about letting us know it. Sookie Stackhouse: You know you might wanna try going a little easier on her. It's hard enough being a teenager without... Bill Compton: She is a vampire, Sookie! Sookie Stackhouse: So are you. Yet parts of your former self are still in there. I wouldn't be with you if they weren't. Bill Compton: Yes... I've had to work extremely hard at finding my way back to my humanity. When a vampire is as new as Jessica is, she has no humanity. She is in the grips of an overwhelming transformations, there will be times when she cannot control even a single impulse... and believe me she 'has' many. Sookie Stackhouse: How is that any different from being a teenage girl? No humanity, check. In the grips of overwhelming transformations, check. Cannot control impulses, check. Alright, uh... how is that different? Bill Compton: Alright. So what do you suggest I do? Just spoil the girl? Give into her every whim and desire? After all that is what every teenage girl wants, isn't it? Sookie Stackhouse: You don't have to be sarcastic with me, Bill Compton. And should you at least think about what I'm sayin', if no other reason that what you're doing right now isn't working out so hot. Bill Compton: Hmmm. Sookie Stackhouse: How ironic. We promised each other we weren't gonna fight anymore, yet here we are. Bill Compton: This isn't a fight. Sookie Stackhouse: ...Yes it is. Bill Compton: Well then. Prepare to be made up to. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Tara Thornton: [learning about Jessica] So basically you're like a step-mother to a vampire? Sookie Stackhouse: Okay, you did not just call me that. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Jessica Hamby: [coming from the back, to Sookie] I just saw my parents on TV! Sookie Stackhouse: Oh no, I'm sorry. Jessica Hamby: I finally get why they never wanted me to watch in it the first place. It's horrible. Sookie Stackhouse: Umm, where's Bill? Jessica Hamby: I have no idea. All he told me was, 'Jessica, I have errands to run. Errands which do not require you presence. So remain here and do you best to stay out of trouble while I'm gone.' I hate it here! I hate it so much! Sookie Stackhouse: Jessica? Jessica Hamby: Damn. I miss them. [her family] Sookie Stackhouse: Your parents? Jessica Hamby: My little sister, who I always was totally horrible to and... I'm just such a brat. [crying tears of blood] What's wrong with me? Sookie Stackhouse: Sweetie, vampires don't cry regular tears. So when you cry, you're gonna cry blood from now on. Jessica Hamby: Why do you know this and I don't? Don't you think I should know this about myself? Sookie Stackhouse: Bill probably should have told you. Jessica Hamby: Geez, ya think? |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: [starts to cry] Jessica... I'm sorry. Jessica Hamby: Now, why are you crying? Sookie Stackhouse: Because I did this to you. If Bill hadn't... I took your life away and I know there's no way you'll ever be able to forgive me. It's not even right to ask. But I had no idea it was gonna lead to this. Jessica Hamby: I don't blame you, Sookie. Sookie Stackhouse: How's that even possible? |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: [in Jessica's house] I don't normally curse. But you have seriously fucked me here! Jessica Hamby: Hey, I know and I'm sorry. But I swear it was like it wasn't even me doing it. It must be all those new vampire impulse control issues. Sookie Stackhouse: Fuck your impulse control issues! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: You're very pretty. Eden: No, I'm not. Gotta problem with the hair. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: [after he breaks down the door] Bill! Bill Compton: Jessica let him go! Jessica Hamby: But? Bill Compton: As your maker I command you! Sookie Stackhouse: Thank god you're here. Bill Compton: Shut up! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: I'm sorry! Bill Compton: Get the hell outta here! Sookie Stackhouse: Bill? Bill Compton: [pushing her out the front door] Now, so I can clean up your mess! Sookie Stackhouse: [about Jessica's parents] Please don't kill them! Bill Compton: This is all your fault! Now get the hell out of here! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 2: - Keep This Party Going Sookie Stackhouse: Tara Thornton, would you like to move in with me? |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Nothing But The Blood Sookie Stackhouse: I always need you. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Nothing But The Blood Sookie Stackhouse: [frantic, to Andy about the body] Check for a pulse. Detective Andy Bellefleur: Forget it. There ain't no pulse. Sam Merlotte: What? Why? Detective Andy Bellefleur: [lifting the tarp from the body] Because there ain't no heart! |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Nothing But The Blood Sam Merlotte: I don't know about you, but I think I've seen enough dead bodies to last me a life time. Sookie Stackhouse: [perplexed] Except this one, I just don't get. With everyone Rene killed, you could see his rage. But this?... Cuttin' out that poor woman's heart? Someone just wanted to see her suffer! Every time I think I know what's what, it turns out... I don't know anything. |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Nothing But The Blood Sookie Stackhouse: [to Bill about Jessica] You killed her? Bill Compton: Not entirely. No. Sookie Stackhouse: Well you obviously did something to this... this... [to Jessica] How old are you? Jessica Hamby: Seventeen. Sookie Stackhouse: Oh my god. Where your parents? Jessica Hamby: [to Bill] Is she always like this? Sookie Stackhouse: [to Bill] So what then? You bit her? Bill Compton: Yes. Sookie Stackhouse: You drained her? Bill Compton: Yes. Sookie Stackhouse: Did you have sex with her? Bill Compton: No! Jessica Hamby: Eww! Gross! Bill Compton: Jessica was brought to me as a condition of my punishment. I had to create a vampire as reparation for the one I destroyed to save you. Jessica Hamby: [to Sookie] So this is all your fault? |
![]() | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Nothing But The Blood Bill Compton: [about Jessica] We can't turn her out. Not yet. She a very young vampire. At her age, with her impulses, she could be quite dangerous. Sookie Stackhouse: Where has she been tonight? Bill Compton: Here with me and before that with with Eric and Pam. Sookie Stackhouse: So there's no way she could have anything to do with that woman at Merlotte's with her heart missing? Bill Compton: No!... probably not. Sookie Stackhouse: [baffled] Two weeks and you never said anything. We've laid in bed for hours talking about my life, your life, the weather, and rules of football. And not once did you mention that you slept with and killed... Bill Compton: I did not! Sookie Stackhouse: ...a seventeen year old girl. Bill Compton: Sookie, for a century and a half, I never turned a human... because I couldn't bare to inflict the suffering I felt when I was turned. The pain of that is not an easy thing to share. Sookie Stackhouse: If I'm with you and she's with, then she's with me. And I'm sure as heck sharing in that. Bill Compton: If I with held anything, it was only to protect you. Sookie Stackhouse: And if she stayed with Eric, I still wouldn't know. Would I? That's not protecting me. That's lying to me. How am I supposed to ever trust you if you keep something like that from me? What else are you keeping from me? Bill Compton: ...Nothing. Sookie Stackhouse: I can't stay... not tonight. Bill Compton: Sookie? Sookie Stackhouse: I've shared every dark, horrible corner of my life with you. What makes you think I couldn't handle every bit of yours? |
