Episode Quotes

Bill Compton: You should go to ground.
Lorena Krasiki: And not be with you when the light flows out of you? I cannot.
Bill Compton: And what will you do then? Find another man that you deem honorable? So you can turn him into a violent hateful thing like yourself? Destroying whatever it was you loved about him to begin with?
Lorena Krasiki: Yes. It's all my fault isn't it? You never enjoyed killing those humans, writhing naked in their blood. Making love to me as the light died in their eyes. Oh no. I forced you to do all that.
Bill Compton: No, you did not.
Lorena Krasiki: Be a man and admit you liked it.
Bill Compton: Just as you liked enticing all those starving men with your flesh. Luring them into your maker's clutches so that he could murder them and defile their bodies in unspeakable ways as you watched!
Lorena Krasiki: I am NOT Istvan!
Bill Compton: Really? He made you his mirror just as you tried to make me yours. He is the reason that a girl, who once marveled in the beauty of all life, now delights in bringing pain and horror to every moment
Lorena Krasiki: You never embraced our nature!
Bill Compton: Your nature! It was never mine! I welcome death because only then will I be truly free of the disease that is you.
Lorena Krasiki: I may not be able to make you feel for me. But I will make you feel.
Bill Compton: You have always so enjoyed making others suffer.
Lorena Krasiki: And there's nothing wrong with that. Especially after having been made to suffer as I have been.
Bill Compton: You haven't suffered at the hands of others for a very long time.
Lorena Krasiki: I am suffering now!

Bill Compton: Please. Do it quickly.

Lorena Krasiki: Even as you face the true death I will be inside you. Not Sookie. Me.
Bill Compton: I wish I had known you before you were made. Before you turned hard. I would like to have seen you smile with light in your eyes instead of darkness. That, would have been something

Lorena Krasiki: I have no choice. William
Franklin Mott: Why you wicked little strumpet

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Eric is riding in the car with the King of Mississippi he says "shouldn't we have taken the I12 exit?" The King replies they aren't headed to Shreveport. If they are located in Jackson, I20 takes you directly to Shreveport. I12 is located to the South and there would be no reason to go that route.

Trivia

  • Sookie threatens that if Lorena kills Bill, Sookie will kill Lorena, to which Lorena replies, "I'd like to see you try. I'd rip out your rib cage and wear it as a hat." This is a line from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Becoming: Part 2." Both shows are about young blonde women in love with mysterious vampires.
  • When Russell is questioning Sookie about her supernatural powers, she tries to insist that she is just an unremarkable human waitress, and he responds, sarcastically, "and I am Marie of Romania." This is a quote from Dorothy Parker's acerbic poem "Comment": "Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,/A medley of extemporanea;/And love is a thing that can never go wrong,/And I am Marie of Roumania." It is also a reference to the fact that Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula' is set in Transylvania, now a part of modern-day Romania.
