Warrior 1: [in old Swedish to a dying Eric, on the funeral pyre] All will be well. Don't be afraid.
Eric Northman: [weakly] I'm not afraid. I'm pissed off.
Warrior 2: [hearing rushing noises] Who's there? Show yourself!
[is promptly killed along with Warrior 1]
Eric Northman: [seeing a boy with ancient Roman tattoos] Are you Death?
Godric: I am.
Eric Northman: You're just a little boy.
Godric: I'm not.
Eric Northman: My men?
Godric: Dead.
Eric Northman: You swine!
Godric: I watched you in the battlefield last night. I never saw anyone fight like you.
Eric Northman: I would fight you now if I could.
Godric: [almost laughing] I know. It's beautiful.
Eric Northman: What are you waiting for? Kill me.
Godric: Could you be a companion of death? Could you walk with me through the world? Through dark? I'll teach you all I know. I'll be your father, your brother, your child.
Eric Northman: ...What is in it for me?
Godric: What you love most... life.
Eric Northman: [considering] ... Life.
