- Salome Agrippa: Molly, we give you this last chance to accept the word of Lilith.
- Molly: Even if I did, you'd kill me anyway.
- Bill Compton: Unfortunately, we must. You compromised our security. The chancellors have agreed on the true death for you.
- Molly: In that case, allow me to say... fuck all of you. You are destroying the world based on a book that is thousands of years old. You call that evolved? That's the opposite of evolved.
- Nora Gainesborough: Father. How have you come?
- Godric: My blood is in you. I'm with you always.
- Nora Gainesborough: No, you left me centuries ago. The blood of Lilith is within me now!
- Godric: Lilith is a godless god. She will lead you and all around you to destruction.
- Nora Gainesborough: How can you say that? After all the years that you and I and Eric hunted and killed together? How can you tell me it's wrong?
- Godric: Because I have done what you've failed to do. I've evolved.
- Elijah Stormer: [to Pam] 600 bucks in a night? How are you paying your employees?
- Tara Thornton: She not.
- Professor Kannell: Either you two are a couple of jokesters sent by Louisiana Tech, don't laugh, it's happened. Or you're the victims of a not particularly sophisticated hoax.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Hoax? Why would anyone plant a hoax under my gran's bed?
- Professor Kannell: I can't speak to that, but whoever it is is long dead because this vellum is at least 200 years old. Maybe more.
- Jason Stackhouse: What does it say?
- Professor Kannell: I don't think it says anything. You've got glyphs on a page arranged in groups of four or five so, at first glance, it looks like words. But here's the problem. None of these characters repeat. Every alphabet known to man has a defined set of characters, not 300 different ones. This is just a set of hundreds of unique squiggles.
- Sookie Stackhouse: If it doesn't mean anything, why bother writing it down?
- Professor Kannell: Why does my ex-wife name her toes? Maybe as a joke. Maybe 'cause she's nuts.
- Andy Bellefleur: [after Sookie stakes Mike Spencer] Funny thing is, this is the exact kinda crime scene Mike would of loved.
- Sookie Stackhouse: I know. Our town needed a guy like him.
- Andy Bellefleur: Man loved his job.
- Sookie Stackhouse: [pause] He wanted to suck on my toes.
- Andy Bellefleur: He kept autopsy photos on his computer same place he kept his porn.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Ew, no.
- Andy Bellefleur: Yep.
- Sookie Stackhouse: Suddenly, I don't feel so bad.
- Nora Gainesborough: I've ordered translations of the Book of Lilith in 70 languages. Every new vampire should be required to learn it.
- Eric Northman: Well, the old vampires should as well. We want everyone to accept Lilith, don't we?
- Russell Edgington: Are we seriously sitting here discussing education reform? Are we vampires or schoolmarms?
- Russell Edgington: How do you propose we seize our rightful place in the hierarchy of beings when we're helpless as hamsters for 12 hours out of the day?
- Kibwe: That is the way we were created.
- Russell Edgington: But it's not how we have to remain. The legends are true. The blood of the fae allows us to daywalk. Compton, Northman, you've both drunk from the same faerie I have.
- Eric Northman: You know it lasts a few minutes at most before you fry.
- Russell Edgington: The Wright Brothers' first flight lasted 12 seconds. Did they turn to each other and say, "12 seconds is pretty good. Let's give up and try something else"? We harness the blood. We study it. We capture another faerie, even, and breed them. If the Japanese can synthesize human blood, why can't we do the same thing with faerie blood?
- Salome Agrippa: Because we are of the night. The sun is forbidden to us. Fairies are an abomination.
- Russell Edgington: Their blood is like sucking on heaven. You know what I wish? I wish that I had just one drop of faerie blood to stuff in your piehole.
- Salome Agrippa: I saved you, Russell. I can put you back in the ground.
- [Russel puts her in a choke hold. Bill and Eric draw fangs]
- Russell Edgington: Oh, please. Give me an excuse to kill the both of you. Or, hell, why not all of you? I am 3,000 years old. I am stronger than all of you combined. How long did you think I would be your lapdog? I offered you the opportunity to share in the greatest advancement in the history of our race, and the small-mindedness of your religion has literally kept you in the dark! You can have your Lilith. I will not be constrained by your god or anyone else's. I will have the sun!
- Claudette: Could be in the old language.
- Claude Crane: It could. This is probably older than we are. We're only 130.
- Claudette: Perhaps we should ask someone less young than us.
- Jason Stackhouse: Wait, you mean there are fairies here who are older than 130?
- Claude Crane: Oh, God, yes. I mean, how do you think we got so good at dancing? That's all we do now that we're locked down at night.
- [Points to Maurella]
- Claude Crane: She's 500 but she only admits to being three. Like you really couldn't tell. She's halfway to being an Elder.
- Maurella: [Reading] "5th of August, 1702. I, John William Stackhouse, in reference to our binding agreement on this said date, do grant Mr. M. Warlow my first... fae-bearing female heir."
- Sookie Stackhouse: Warlow. He's the one who...
- [Trails off]
- Jason Stackhouse: Claude? Who was the first female faerie in our family after 1702?
- Claude Crane: Actually, there haven't been any. Until Sookie.
