Episode Quotes

Bill Compton: [producing Sam] Maenad! I have your sacrifice!

Bill Compton: I wanted to thank you for trusting me with your life. It couldn't have been easy.
Sam Merlotte: Sookie's safe. You got what you wanted.
Bill Compton: You wanted it too.
Sam Merlotte: Well, she's family, but they all are. If there was a way to save 'em, I'm not gonna say 'no'.
Bill Compton: I am grateful you would reveal your gift for the sake of the town.
Sam Merlotte: It took me this long to realize you suffer a lot longer hidin' something than if you face up to it.

Sophie-Anne Leclerq: You know there's a maenad in Renard parish.
Eric Northman: Yes. That is the reason I came to see you, your majesty.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: I wouldn't get involved if I were you. Stick to what you're good at. I gave William Compton a few bits of hand-me-down folklore that accumulated over the centuries. But who knows what's gospel or gorilla shit... You know, I think he's monogamous with his human.
Eric Northman: He is in love with her, yes.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: He is? Well, of course. He would be with her. You probably are too.
Eric Northman: [almost reluctant] I do not love humans.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: She's not entirely human. Have you tasted her?
Eric Northman: Sadly, no.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: Don't, ever. One vampire falling in love is bad enough.
Eric Northman: Yes. Bill Compton certainly has a knack for finding trouble.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: For instance, how does he know I'm having you sell vampire blood?

Sophie-Anne Leclerq: Guards hear everything.
Eric Northman: Your majesty, I'm sorry. There's no way he could...
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: That is really bad.
Eric Northman: He does not know you are supplying it.
Sophie-Anne Leclerq: [jumping him] He better not! I'm holding you responsible.

Trivia

The tee shirt Terry Bellefleur wears in Merlotte's near the end of the show says: "WARNING: Beaucoup Dien Cai Dau: I suffer from occasional loss of mental stability and become very violent with only slight provocation. The Veterans Administration has determined that both mental and physical harassment of my person may be hazardous to your health and well being. So stay the hell out of my face. Thank you." Pronounced "boo-coo din-key-dow", "Beaucoup" is French for "very much", and "Dien Cai Dau" is a Vietnamese saying that is the equivalent of "crazy as a kicking rooster", much like the American expression "mad as a wet hen". It is common jargon adopted by the US soldiers during the Vietnam War, and is still used to some extent by some in the armed forces to this day, just like "Gung-ho" became common USMC jargon after WWII. So it is likely Terry Bellefleur became familiar with the phrase as an Iraqi War veteran with self-acknowledged PTSD.
