Episode Quotes

Sookie Stackhouse: I swear I try not to listen, but I can't always keep my guard up.
Sam Merlotte: Is it true can't hear the vampire's thoughts at all? God, that's- I mean that must be very relaxin' for you. You know, not having to work so hard not to hear.
Sookie Stackhouse: I was diagnosed with ADD. They tried to put me on drugs, but my momma wouldn't let them. She knew that wasn't it. She tried to protect me even though I scared her.
Bill Compton: [knowingly] When did you lose her?
Sookie Stackhouse: Just before I turned eight. Both my parents, flash flood.
Bill Compton: I lost my wife and my children. Everyone I knew from my human life. Most of them are buried here in this cemetery.
Sookie Stackhouse: You really don't consider yourself human at all?
Bill Compton: I'm not human.
Terrell: [at the party] What's a fine girl like you doing sittin' here all by herself?
Tara Thornton: I'm watchin' my fool cousin tryin' to hit on the straightest man here.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (revealing mistake): When Jason is having sex with Dawn and looks at himself in the mirror, you can clearly see in the mirror he's wearing underwear. A moment before he was naked.

Trivia

  • In Tara's house next to the "Angelina adopts vampire baby" tabloid, another was titled, "Can true love survive Hollywood?" The picture that accompanied the caption was of Anna Paquin, who plays Sookie Stackhouse, hugging Stephen Moyer, who plays Bill Compton, from behind.
