Sookie Stackhouse: I've been admiring your necklace all day.
Amy Burley: Oh, thanks. It's a lariat. I made it.
Sookie Stackhouse: You make jewelry?
Amy Burley: It's a easy way to earn extra money. I can make you one if you want.
Sookie Stackhouse: Thanks, but I don't think my boyfriend much likes silver. You know my brother's a dog, don't you?
Amy Burley: [confused] Sorry?
Sookie Stackhouse: He's all charm and smiles in the beginning. But the second he gets tired of you, he gonna stop calling. Before you know it, he's off with some other floozy. Not-not that you are one, but trust me. It's as regular as the seasons. You seem like a sweet girl, I don't want you to get hurt.
Amy Burley: You know, I don't think Jason's realized even half of what he's going to be. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I think you might be surprised at what he's capable of.

Eric Northman: [after Bill has found him in his bathtub, with soft music playing] I texted you three times. Why didn't you reply?
Bill Compton: I hate using the number keys to type. What are you listening to?
Eric Northman: From my younger days. It's really quite beautiful if you know old Swedish. I have a favor to ask of you.
Bill Compton: A favor or an order?
Eric Northman: Depends on how you look at it. Honestly, did you think you could keep her to yourself?

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: Lafayette sticks Eddie with a needle to drain some of his blood. As stated several times in the series, vampires' hearts don't beat. In a human with a beating heart, blood can flow out of the body against gravity due to the difference of pressure in the veins and outside the body. Without a beating heart, the pressure inside a vampire's veins would be the same as the air pressure outside the body, meaning that a vampire's blood would not flow against gravity into a needle like a human's blood does.
PLOT: Amy and Jason kidnap Lafayette's source for V, vampire Eddie. She puts a chainmail hood over Eddie's head as soon as he opens the door, they tie him up in silver chains and carry him to the back of Jason's truck. While Amy drives them home, Jason lets her know that he is not happy about what she has gotten him into and Amy says to him "If you want to make the same arrangement with Eddie that Lafayette has go right ahead" (something to this effect). However, nothing happened that would let her know what the vampire's name was. Eddie is still in the back of the truck fettered by the silver hood and chains.
