Vampire Mythology revealed in this episode:
- Vampires require an invitation to enter a human's home. That invitation can be revoked.
- Some vampires can turn into animals, Bill cannot.
- Vampires can put glamors on humans to feed on them and they will not remember after wards.
- Their blood can cure/heal humans.
Sookie: How old are you? Am I allowed to ask that?
Bill: I was made vampire in 1865. When I was 30 human years old.
Sookie: Wow, you look older than that.
Bill: Life was harder then.
Sookie: Were you in the Civil War?
Bill: I was.
Sookie: Would you be willing to come and talk to my grandmother's club? It's mostly a bunch of old people who had family in the war. They call themselves the Descendants of the Glorious Dead.
Bill: The Glorious Dead? There is nothing glorious about dying in a war. A bunch of starving, freezing boys killing each other so the rich people can stay rich. Madness.
Sookie: Do I taste different from other people?
Sookie: What I am is telepathic. I can hear people's thoughts.
Bill: Even mine?
Sookie: No. That's why I like you so much. I can't hear you at all. You have no idea how peaceful it is, after a lifetime of... blah, blah, blah.
Sookie: Mmm. Is this sausage different from what you usually make?
Gran: No.
Sookie: Hmm. It tastes so much more complex than it usually does.
Gran: Oh, dear, you think it's gone bad.
Sookie: No, it's delicious. It's like I can close my eyes and I can see the farm the pig lived on and feel the sun and rain on my face and even taste the earth that the herbs grew out of.
Jason: I don't even know why they suspected me. I think somebody heard I'd been with Maudette.
Sookie: Had you?
Jason: No.
Sookie: Are you sure? She was a woman.
Sherriff Dearborne: Sookie, you're a good girl. I hate to see you go down this path.
Sookie: Well, lucky for you, Sherriff Dearborne, nobody's forcing you to watch.
Jason: A lot of Americans don't think you people deserve special rights.
Bill: They're the same rights you have.
Jason: No, I'm just saying there's a reason things are the way they are.
Bill: Yeah. It's called injustice.
Tara: Did you own slaves?
Sookie: (Shocked) Tara!
Bill: I did not. But my father did.
Mike Spencer: Your grandmother lets you associate with a vampire?
Sookie: You can take that up with her Mike Spencer. I'm sure she'd just love to know that somebody thinks she's not takin' proper care of me.
Lafayette: Why come you won't call Jason Stackhouse?
Tara: You are a mean, nasty bitch.
Lafayette: And you need to move your sorry ass outcha momma house. Thas whatcha needs to do.
Tara: Yeah.
Lafayette: All right, all right. I is on my way. But you might got ta find your own ride home. Just in case I get lucky.
Tara: Whatchu mean if you get lucky? Your standards are so low you always get lucky.
Sam: Remind me why I hired you again?
Tara: Affirmative Action.
Bill: Can I ask you a personal question.
Sookie: Bill, you were just lickin' blood outta my head. I don't think it gets much more personal than that.
Bill: How do you manage a social life with men your own age, their only thought must be...
Sookie: I don't date.
Jason: Well, thanks for making me look like a fool in front of him Gran.
Gran: Jason, you don't need any help lookin' like a fool.
Jason: Look, Gran, I am the man in this family.
Gran: You are a man in this family, but I am the oldest person here and this is my house. You better respect me boy.
Bill: Actually, I'm the oldest person here.
Bill: (To Sookie) I can smell the sunlight on your skin...
