Quotes 

• Tara Thornton : [about Maryann]  So, collecting stray black people, that some kind of hobby of hers?

  Eggs : [laughing]  She's right about you. You are funny.

  Tara Thornton : Oh, yeah? What else she tell you about me?

  Eggs : Oh, she said, um, you crashed your car with a gallon of whiskey in your lap.

  Tara Thornton : Yeah. It was vodka. Really cheap vodka.

  Eggs : Hey, I'm-I'm not judging you... Believe me. I- When Maryann found me, I was, uh, well, let's just say I was a hell of alot worse off than you. She's a miracle worker. You'll see.

  Tara Thornton : Yeah, well. I won't be stickin' around that long.

  Eggs : That's too bad.

  Tara Thornton : My mama, when she thought somethin' was too good to be true, sh-she'd say, "Satan in a Sunday hat." That's exactly what this is.

  Eggs : You know it took me a long time to stop looking over my shoulder, too. But there are good people in this world. Sometimes, good shit happens.

• Tara Thornton : Sookie?

  Sookie Stackhouse : [wakes up, medicated]  Tara. You look so pretty. Like someone turned a light on under your skin.

  Sam Merlotte : [smiling]  Hospital gave her pain meds. She's-she's a little loopy.

  Tara Thornton : [in tears]  Didn't you listen when I said I'd lose my shit if anything ever happened to you?

  Sookie Stackhouse : Don't lose your shit. I'm fine. Did Sam tell you that he saved my life? He turned into a dog and bit Rene.

  Lafayette Reynolds : [laughs]  Well, shit. I'm gonna need some of them drugs they gave you.

  Sam Merlotte : Okay, you guys. We should let her rest.

  Sookie Stackhouse : Sam, you need to let people see the real you. 'Cause you're kind and brave. There's nothin there not to love.

  Sam Merlotte : [smiles and winks]  Right back at you.

• Tara Thornton : This one time Lafayette went to Marthaville for the night, he ended up go-go dancin' in Palm Beach for like eight months.

  Sam Merlotte : [rolling his eyes]  Fantastic!

• Tara Thornton : I didn't just wreck my car. I totaled my whole life. All of it.

  Maryann : Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Personally I see your situation as an opportunity.

• Tara Thornton : You know you're about as subtle as a flying brick. Maryann says if you want some thing, you don't wait for it to come to you. You demand it.

  Sam Merlotte : [annoyed]  Do me a favor. Don't quote Maryann to me.

  Tara Thornton : Well excuse me for givin' a damn.

• Tara Thornton : [seeing her breakfast]  This isn't food. This is sculpture.
