• Lafayette Reynolds : Hey, hooker. How you doin'? What are you doin' here?

  Tara Thornton : I work here.

  Lafayette Reynolds : [not believing]  Oh no, the hell you don't.

  Tara Thornton : Oh yes the hell I do too, you ugly bitch! You need to make peace with that.

  Lafayette Reynolds : Shit. Sam must've lost his damned mind 'cause you should not be allowed to work in no situation where you actually gotta interact with people.

• Tara Thornton : [slaps Manager]  That's for pattin' my ass too much! I'mmo get my baby daddy who just got outta prison to come and kick your teeth in!

  Sav-A-Bunch Manager : Jesus, Tara. Please don't do anything like...

  Tara Thornton : Oh, my God! I'm not serious, you pathetic racist! I don't have a baby! Damn! I know y'all have to be stupid, but do you have to be that stupid? Shit, fuck this job.

• Sam Merlotte : It would only be a matter of time 'fore you went off on somebody. I don't wanna drive my customers away.

  Tara Thornton : I only go off on stupid people.

  Sam Merlotte : Most of my customers *are* stupid people.

  Tara Thornton : Yeah, but... I could help you keep an eye on Sookie. You see the way she was looking at that vampire? That is just trouble looking for a place to happen.

• Tara Thornton : [to Jason]  Oh my God. You are a gigantic parody of yourself and you don't even know it.

• [customer snaps for service] 

  Tara Thornton : Do NOT snap at me! I have a name, and that name is Tara. And innit that funny? A black girl being named after a plantation?

  [customer laughs] 

  Tara Thornton : No, I don't think it's funny at all! In fact, it really pisses me off that my momma was either stupid or just plain mean. Which is why you better be nice if you plan on getting a drink tonight!

• Tara Thornton : My life sucks.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Tara, don't you be fellin' sorry for yourself. That's just lazy.

  Tara Thornton : But why can't I keep a job?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Maybe because you can't keep your mouth shut.

  Tara Thornton : Bitch, who asked you!

  [winks] 

• Sookie Stackhouse : [on the phone with Tara]  This had better be an emergency.

  Tara Thornton : I just quit my job.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Again?

  Tara Thornton : I can't work for assholes.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Well, I'm glad you can afford to be so picky, Miss Say-Hello-To-The-Rest-Of-Us.

  Tara Thornton : Oh, shut up. Sam is not an asshole, and he's totally in love with you.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Tara, he is my boss.

  Tara Thornton : Jesus, Sookie, you need to lighten up.

  Sookie Stackhouse : You know I hate it when you use the "J" word. Now, I gotta go.

  Tara Thornton : I'm comin' over. I need a margarita. A big one.

• Sam Merlotte : Tara, you know how to tend bar?

  Tara Thornton : No.

  Sam Merlotte : Fake it!

  [handing her his appron and leaving] 

• Sav-A-Bunch Shopper : You are a very rude young woman!

  Tara Thornton : Oh, this ain't rude. This is uppity!

• Tara Thornton : You know how many people are having sex with vampires these days? Sometimes those people... disappear.
