Quotes 

• Bill Compton : [points the gun at the state trooper's face]  Now, you listen to me, officer. I do not take kindly to you shining your light in the eyes of my female companion. And as I have more than 100 years on you, I do not take kindly to you calling me "son". So the next time you pull somebody over on suspicion of bein' a vampire, you better pray to God that you're wrong. Because that vampire may not be as kind to you as I'm about to be. I'm not gonna kill you. But I am gonna keep your gun. Does that sound fair?

• Sookie Stackhouse : [while driving to Fangtasia]  Penny for your thoughts?

  Bill Compton : I thought you liked not knowing what I'm thinking.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Most of the time I do.

  Bill Compton : You won't care for it.

  Sookie Stackhouse : That doesn't mean I don't wanna know.

  Bill Compton : [looking at her clothes than back to the road]  You look like vampire bait.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [laughing]  What's that supposed to mean?

  Bill Compton : I promised your grandmother no harm would come to you at Fangtasia tonight. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to keep that promise with you dressed like this.

  Sookie Stackhouse : So are you sayin' you think I look nice?

  Bill Compton : Doesn't matter what I think. This isn't a date. Remember?

• Bill Compton : Vampires are always in some kind of trouble. I prefer to be in it with you.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [after pulling him outside of Merlottes]  You know my friend who works here, Dawn? Some one killed her last night.

  Bill Compton : How?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Say you're sorry.

  Bill Compton : Excuse me?

  Sookie Stackhouse : You wanna learn to fit in with people, you gotta say you're sorry. You don't even have to mean it. Lord knows they don't most the time.

  Bill Compton : [trying]  I am sorry.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Thank you. Anyway, I'm the one who found her. Strangled. Cops think it was my brother.

  Bill Compton : Was it?

  Sookie Stackhouse : No, he's not capable of it.

  Bill Compton : I've been around long enough to know just about anyone is capable of just about anything.

  Sookie Stackhouse : He didn't do it. So I've been listenin' in on peoples' thoughts, hopin' I might hear somethin' to clear him and apparently there's this vampire bar where Maudette and Dawn use to hang out at in Shreeveport. You know it?

  Bill Compton : Fangtasia.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Fang-tasia?

  Bill Compton : You have to remember that most vampires are very old. Puns used to be the highest form of humor.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Well I was thinkin' if I went there, I could do some sniffin' around. You think maybe you could take me?

  Bill Compton : [smiling slightly]  How 'bout tonight?

  Sookie Stackhouse : The sooner the better. I just gotta tell Sam I'm leaving and run home and change.

  Bill Compton : Meet you there.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Thank you. Bill, I'm asking you this as a friend, okay? This is not a date.

  Bill Compton : Fine.

  Sookie Stackhouse : It's not a date. I'm serious.

  Bill Compton : [still smiling]  As am I.

• Eric Northman : So, Bill. Are you quite attached to your friend.

  Bill Compton : She is mine!

  Sookie Stackhouse : Yes. I am his.

  Eric Northman : Well, what a pitty... for me.

• Pam : [as he walks up to Fangtasia with Sookie]  Bill. Haven't seen you in a while.

  Bill Compton : I'm mainstreamin'.

  Pam : Good for you. Who's the doll?

  Bill Compton : Pam, this is Sookie. Sookie, this is Pam.

  Sookie Stackhouse : [smiling, extending her hand to Pam]  Pleased to meet you.

  Pam : [just looks at her]  Can I see your ID?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Oh. Sure. How funny. Who'd have thought? Getting carded at a vampire bar.

  Pam : I can no longer tell human ages. We must be careful we serve no minors... in any capacity.

  [looking at her id] 

  Pam : Twenty-five, huh? How sweet it is.

• Bill Compton : [with Sookie at Fangtasia]  You able to pick anything up?

  Sookie Stackhouse : [looking around]  All anyone's thinkin' about here is sex, sex, sex!

  Bill Compton : One needn't be telepathic to pick up on that.

• Bill Compton : [looking at Eric and back down at his drink]  Uh oh.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Don't say "uh oh". Vampires are not supposed to say "uh oh".

  Bill Compton : It's Eric. He's scanned you twice. He's goin' to summon us.

  Sookie Stackhouse : He can do that?

  Bill Compton : Oh, yeah.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [at Fangtasia, looking around]  Who's that?

  Bill Compton : Oh, you noticed him did you?

  Sookie Stackhouse : No, it's not like that. I just...

  Bill Compton : Everyone does. That's Eric. He's the oldest thing in this bar.

• Sookie Stackhouse : [inside Fangtasia]  This feels a little bit like what a vampire bar would look like if it were a ride at Disney World.

  Bill Compton : Well, don't get too comfortable. It tends to get more authentic as the night wears on.
