Quotes 

• 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.

• Bill Compton : You've heard there's a maenad in our midst?

  Sam Merlotte : I'm familiar.

  Bill Compton : You are aware she is here because of you.

  Sam Merlotte : Something like that.

  Bill Compton : I need you and Sookie needs you to make this right.

  Sam Merlotte : If I thought it was as easy as givin' myself up to Maryann, I'd have done that by now, and what's to say she's gonna stop at me? Killers just don't suddenly quit killin'. You oughta know that.

  Bill Compton : And standing by idly is not an option either. You must come with me.

  Sam Merlotte : Oh, I'm not sure I wanna be doing that.

  Bill Compton : I'm not sure I'm giving you a choice.

• Bill Compton : [to Sookie]  I love nothing more than to see you happy. It's really quite selfish.

• Sookie Stackhouse : How long before sunrise?

  Bill Compton : Forty one minutes.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Hold me for forty?

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

• Sookie Stackhouse : [finishing her dessert]  It's a good thing you don't eat, 'cause I wouldn't share it with anyone. I think of a better way to top off the best meal of my life.

  Bill Compton : I do have one last thing.

  [hands her an envelope] 

  Sookie Stackhouse : [opening it]  Plane tickets?... Where's Burlington?

  Bill Compton : It's in Vermont.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Why would we...

  Bill Compton : Here's the other part.

  [takes out a jewel box and pushes it to her hands. She opens it to find a diamond ring] 

  Bill Compton : Ms. Stackhouse, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? That is assuming last night did not scare you off weddings for good.

  [as she says nothing] 

  Bill Compton : Sookie, say something.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [tearing up]  I've dreamed of this since I was a little girl... In my dreams I always say 'yes'.

  Bill Compton : Than it ought to be easy.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Then why can't I say it? My heart's flying around in my chest. I can't even think straight. My life's inside out. With all that's happened I'm not sure about anything. I don't even know if I'm human!

  Bill Compton : What?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Maybe I am some kind of freak. I've only met one other person in the world like me and who even knows where he is? And what happens when I grow old and weak and you're still the same, what then?

  Bill Compton : Sookie, I don't care about any of that. I want you just as you are.

  Sookie Stackhouse : But I'm not even sure what I am!

  Bill Compton : Are you saying no?

  Sookie Stackhouse : No, I'm saying... I don't know what I'm saying. I need a minute to clean myself up. I'm sorry.

  [leaves the table]
