[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Sookie,
are you okay?

You want some water?

Four?

You're sure
you found four bodies?

We shouldn't even
be telling you this.

Andy, not now.
Not with me.

[SIGHS]

There's four sets of remains
inside four coffins.

Oh, my God.
We can't let you go in there.

Andy, if you don't take
your hands off me right now,

I swear to God,
I will kill you.

No, no, sweetheart,

you don't wanna
come up here.

Jiminy Christmas.

That's what happens
to vampires?

MAN:
Evidently.

Plus, we got
three more.

[GROANS]

I hope you skipped
breakfast. Heh.

Sookie, did Bud send you up here
to make an ID? 'Cause--

[GASPS]

Sookie,
you okay?

[*]

[*]

[BEEPS]

BILL [RECORDING]:
Bill Compton.

WOMAN [RECORDING]:
To leave a voice message,

press one or just wait--

[GROANS]

Shit.

[WHIMPERING]

Mama, it's not even 8.

Good morning, baby.
Did I wake you?

I'm almost done.
Just a couple more loads.

Well, these are half full.

Useless to me.

Just fuel for demon fire.

The bottle kept him alive
for 40 years.

As long as I keep the stuff
out of my house,

he ain't never coming back.

Huh. Well, let's see how long
you can keep it up.

Forever. Gotta be.
I'm down to my last chance.

You didn't have a drink today?

Oh, didn't need one.
Didn't even want one.

[SNIFFS]

Is that maple syrup?

Check the kitchen.
I made hoecakes.

Are you serious?

Uh, I haven't had
hoecakes since--

Since your grandmama
was alive.

I always could make 'em,
just never did.

The demon never let me.

Mmm. You made these
with bacon grease.

It's the only way.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

You eat, baby girl.

I got me some more devil juice
to take out.

Mmm.

[GARBAGE CAN RATTLES]

[GLASS BREAKS]

[*]

Goddamn.

You... Heh.

You are not like anybody
I ever met.

I was just gonna say
the same thing.

Jesus.

It felt like the whole world
came together.

Me, you, the bed, the house.
We were all one big giant--

Organism.

Yeah, mine was huge.

[GIGGLES]
[SIGHS]

I never knew vamp blood could do
something like this to you.

You know what?

[SIGHS]

Neither did I. I mean...

I've had V partners before,
but this was...

on a totally different
planet.

You're an extraordinary being.

Well, what's
that supposed to mean?

I mean, in some ways, we barely
know each other, right?

But you felt that.

Uh, tell me
that that wasn't just me.

We tapped into each other.

Oh, no, no, no, I felt it.
We tapped.

There's something old and good
and wise deep down in you.

I have to know that person.

Come on, cut it out.

Nobody who knows me
has ever called me wise.

Then nobody really knows you.

[SIGHS]

Are you blushing?

I don't want you to go.

Well, I was planning on
just burning through,

but if you have a place
for me to crash

then for you,
I might just stick around

for a little bit.
Stay.

Stay with me.

I don't wanna ever leave
this bed.

Let's just screw and do V
until we starve.

[CHUCKLES]

[MOANS SOFTLY]

Sure. Okay. But, I mean,
let's hold off on the screwing.

I'm a respectable girl.

What?

Oh, did I hurt you?

I'm sorry if I got carried away,
it was just so amazing.

No, no.
Jason, we didn't have sex.

We were together on V,

deeper than I've ever felt
with anybody ever before.

But physically,
we barely touched.

No. No, that's not possible.
I promise.

Look. Panties still on.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

[GIGGLES]

W-what the fuck?

I told you.

It's better than sex.

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

[*]

Jesus Christ,
what the hell are you doing?

Stop with the J.C.

I'm cleanin',
what does it look like?

Watch your feet.
I just waxed.

I hope you mean the floor.

[SCOFFS]

Can I help you?

I'm up to my elbows
in Easy-Off.

My mama made me hoecakes
this morning.

So?
She cooked me breakfast.

When's the last time
you saw my mama lift a finger

for anything
besides Mad Dog 20/20?

We went into the woods to get a
$445 hoodoo exorcism last night.

You do not wanna get me
started on that.

My grandmother's dead.

At least you got someone
to make breakfast.

You ever think
about what's happening

with others before
you barge in on them?

Sorry. I didn't me--

Oh, my God,
are those fang marks?

So what?
It means someone cared for me

when everyone else left me
high and dry.

No wonder you're crazy.
A vampire made a meal of you.

Why am I the only person

that doesn't think
vampires are monsters?

They drink our blood.

What's to say Bill won't leave
you once he's had his fill?

Do you have any idea
what I've been through today?

A friend would ask.

Don't tell me
how to be your friend.

I'm the only one you got,
goddamn--

Lord's name in vain.

Oh, fuck off.
Get out of my house!

I've gotten very good
at losing people.

You are only making it
easier for me.

Bitch,
I don't even wanna be here.

If you are hell-bent on being
alone in this world,

I ain't gonna stop you.

[SIGHS]

Oh, man.

I wanna not have sex
with you again so bad,

you don't even know.

I think I got some idea.

But that V that we did
was the last I had.

Where do we score some more?

When we need more,
we'll go out and get it.

Don't be greedy.
We'll be okay for a while.

Just eat your breakfast.

You sure you don't want some?
Pepperoni and sausage.

No, thank you.
I only eat organic.

The cleaner my body is,

the more intensely
I feel the V.

Uh, why do you have
two televisions

in the same room?

The bottom one's busted.

I just keep it
'cause it was my parents'.

Can I ask you how they died?

Yeah, I don't like
to talk about it.

Okay.

It was a flash flood.

They were caught
on the bridge

down by the Parish Road

and got swept out
in the river.

My little sister and I

were staying at our gran's
while they went out.

They didn't think I could
look after Sookie by myself,

even though
I was almost 11.

[SIGHS]

Sometimes I think,
if I was a better kid,

they wouldn't have had to
drop us off at Gran's.

Then they wouldn't have been
on the bridge

at the exact point when...

So your grandma raised you
after that?

Yeah, I moved back here

when I was 18,

even though Gran would have
rather kept an eye on me.

Yeah, she passed too.

Last week.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

[SIGHS]
Goddamn.

I don't mean to be spillin'.
I never do this.

You never talk about things
with anybody?

You don't talk to your sister?

Least of all her.
She brings out the worst in me.

We had this big fight
after Gran died and I hit her.

I tell you,

I am

the worst brother in the world.

[SIGHS]

That's ridiculous.

I've seen
who you are inside.

I've been there.

And you're good, Jason.
No.

Do you hear me?

[*]

[SIGHS]

She's a beauty.
You want it for your office?

No. We'll put it over the bar.

Drunks like talking
to the animals.

Hey, check it out.

Possum prick. Heh.

Oh, where'd you get that?
Shot one last week.

Was gonna stuff it
but I left it out.

It got to raining
and then three days later,

ain't nothing left
but possum sludge and bones.

[CHUCKLES]
I saved this, though.

Possums have
a two-pronged penis.

It's supposed
to bring good luck.

Yeah. Hey, Terry, let's keep
that story between us.

The girls might get
the wrong idea.

Hey, Sam.

What was you doing out
this morning?

Why?
You wouldn't have been

running through the woods

without no clothes on,
would you?

Heh-heh-heh.
Why would I do that?

I don't know.

That's why I'm asking.

I was out fishin'
and I could have swore

I saw you blazing buck-naked
through the trees.

No, it wasn't me.
I was working on my car.

It looked an awful lot
like you.

Except you wear clothes.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I don't know.
Maybe I'm seein' things again.

Except usually when I see people
who ain't there, it's-- It's--

It's the insurgents.
Yeah.

Yeah.

Only this fella I saw, he didn't
look like no insurgent.

But you said he was running,
though, huh?

And, hey, I believe
you saw what you saw.

I just don't know
why anyone would run naked

through the woods
in broad daylight.

Yeah. Heh.
Maybe you're right.

Shoot.

I hate bein' this way, Sam.

It's all right, buddy.

Come on.

We're a long way
from Fallujah.

No, not the neck.

[GRUNTING SOFTLY]

[GRUNTS]

ARLENE:
Where the hell

is Sookie today?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Here you go, honey.
Sorry it took so long.

Intense.

All these animals
on the wall,

it's like
a natural history museum.

Huh. I never noticed them.

How could you not?

Every one of these animals
lived a life full of experiences

that we can't even imagine.

Does it weird you out?
We could go someplace else.

No. I mean,
everyone has to eat, right?

We're all links
on the universal food chain.

See? Squirrel eats nuts,

snake eats the squirrel,
gator eats the snake.

And we can eat pretty much
anything we want.

It's the circle of life.

Jesus Christ.
I wanna lick your mind.

Let's have lunch first.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Order up.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I know I'm late.

Sookie, listen,
I heard about the fire.

I'm real, real sorry.

How you holding up?
He's alive.

What?
Bill.

They said four bodies.
I thought Bill was one of 'em.

He wasn't?
No, he's fine.

In fact, he's wonderful.

You have no idea.

Anyways, no need to worry
about me. I'm great.

Sweetie, where you been? I'm up
to my eyeballs in tickets.

Arlene, you look
so beautiful today.

I love you, even if you are
a bigot sometimes.

[CHUCKLES]

What's with her?

Bill's alive.

What? But I thought--

I know. So did I.

Order up.

SOOKIE:
I'm comin'. Hold your horses.

He got my message that something
bad might be brewing,

so he spent the night
in the graveyard.

Doesn't it get cold out there?

No, he was in the ground.

So after I couldn't
find him,

then hearing about
those four bodies

at that burnt-up house,

you can imagine
what I was going through.

Oh. I mean, that must have
been something terrible.

Oh, you don't know.

RENE:
They said there was

three vampires that come in
the other night.

Who's the fourth body?
SOOKIE: Some fangbanger,

they're saying now.

Some vampires like to keep
a human around for sex...

and blood.

I'll get your Cokes.

Thought you said "order up."
I did. New girl took 'em.

New girl?

WOMAN:
BLT, cheeseburger, well-done,

fried egg on white, hot wings,

smoked sausage,

tuna melt,

and the chicken fried steak
must be for you.

Thank you.
We've got a four-top open.

Isn't she something?

She's with you.

I know you're pissed at me,

but I really want you
to like her.

AMY:
Sorry about that.

You looked really swamped

and the natives
were gettin' restless so...

You're Jason's sister, right?

It's--
I've heard so much about you.

Who are you?
My name's Amy.

Amy Burley. I'm with Jason.
With me.

And you must be Arlene
with the beautiful red hair.

It's so nice
to meet you.

How'd you know
all the table numbers?

Well, I waited tables in college
so I just assumed clockwise.

You know, Table 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

And I think the guys at Table 5
like you,

'cause they left you
a really nice tip.

Sam, I think we might have found
a replacement for Dawn.

Looks like you did too.

[WOMAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]

What?

LETTIE:
Don't you touch that,
sweetie pie.

Mama'll take care
of the laundry.

Oh, my goodness.
Lettie Mae,

ain't she
the spittin' image of you.

That's a compliment.

LETTIE:
Tara Mae, you remember

Mable Simpkins, don't you?
Yeah,

from the church.
That's right.

And why don't we see
your smiling face there no more?

Uh, 'cause I stopped goin'.

Oh, well, it's never too late
to come back.

Lettie Mae left us for two years
and we welcomed her back today

like she had never gone.
I heard the call.

The good Lord said,
"Lettie Mae,

"you been away too long.

Your church needs you."

Oh, you should have
heard her testify.

The entire congregation
was filled with the spirit.

Yeah, I bet she was full of it.

Your mama's an inspiration
to us all.

Glory to God.
Amen.

Girl, why don't you come
to Bible group on Tuesday?

Got plenty of nice young men
and fruit punch.

A little religion do you
a world of good, baby girl.

Shit. Are you even listening
to what you're sayin'?

You can lie to yourself
and everyone else

but when you go to bed,

you are just as fucked up
and miserable as I am.

And goin' to church
and wearing a crazy-ass hat

ain't gonna make you
a better person.

She got a demon in her.

My granddaughter
had a demon in her.

They everywhere.

No, sure, I-I understand.
No, it's no problem.

Okay, baby. Bye-bye.

[SIGHS]

Every time I get a night off,

my babysitter
falls through on me.

You know, I like kids, Arlene.

Doughnuts too.

[CHUCKLES]

Maybe if you brought
a lady friend along.

You know, Lisa likes
a female in the house.

I ain't had a lady friend
since I come home.

Well, that's some bad luck
for you, I guess.

Did something happen there

that you been keeping
to yourself?

'Cause you could talk to me,
you know, if you're wantin' to.

No, I'd-- I-- I'd--

I'd just as soon sit here
and listen at you.

I like your voice.

And your clavicles.

[CHUCKLES]

I've been admiring
your necklace all day.

Oh, thanks, it's a lariat.
I made it.

You make jewelry?

It's a easy way
to earn extra money.

I can make you one,
if you want.

Thanks, but I don't think
my boyfriend much likes silver.

You know my brother's
a dog, don't you?

I'm sorry?

He's all charm and smiles
in the beginning,

but the second
he gets tired of you,

he's gonna stop callin'.

Before you know it,
he's off with some other floozy.

N-not-- Not that you are one.

But trust me, it's as regular
as the seasons.

You seem like a sweet girl.
I don't want you to get hurt.

You know, I don't think
Jason's realized even half

of what he's going to be.

I wouldn't be
so quick to judge.

I think you might be surprised
at what he's capable of.

Hey, Sookie, I been meaning
to talk to you.

What's the matter?

I've just been a mess lately.

You know, with the kids
and the double shifts

and Rene and everything,
it's been awful hard.

And I've probably said
some things that I don't mean,

but that's
the pressure talking.

I love you
like my own sister.

And you know that, right?

I appreciate that. Thank you.

And sure, I'll babysit
your kids tonight.

I-- I didn't-- I mean--

I heard you talkin'
to Terry.

I'm a better choice.

[CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]

We'll drop 'em off
at 8.

Rene's taking me to Ruston

to see that Oak Ridge Boys
tribute band.

Ooh. Fun.

[BOTH GIGGLE]

[SOUTHERN ROCK SONG PLAYING]

MAN:
Oh.

You look mighty pretty
tonight, Tara.

That's a nice color on you.
Fuck you.

I'm sorry, w--

Was that sexist?

Tara, may I have
a word with you?

In my office.

Hey, I get it. You said yourself
hirin' me might not work out.

I piss people off.
If you wanna fire me, fire me.

I totally understand.
No.

You and I
are the only ones who get it.

It's everybody else
who's fuckin' themselves up.

[BOTH MOANING,
BREATHING HEAVILY]

Doesn't it get old for you?

I mean, you've been doin' it
for over a hundred years.

Doesn't it get predictable?

Not with you, it doesn't.

[*]

You're entirely different.

And the beauty
and the tragedy of it is--

Is that you don't know
just how different you are.

Please tell me
if I'm doin' something wrong.

Who am I to try to change
what comes naturally to you?

But if you could change
something--

I wouldn't change a thing.

[CHUCKLES]

What's it like
to sleep in the ground?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Well, it's not exactly
comfortable.

But it is safe.

Which, if I recall,
is what the three voice mails

required of me that night.

[CHUCKLES]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh, crap.

Arlene. I forgot, I told her
I'd babysit the kids.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
Shall I go?

No. Stay.
It'll be good for her.

You can put some pants on,
though.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

SOOKIE: Hi.
Sookie.

What's wrong?

What took you
so long?

I was out back in the yard.

In your nightie?

The cat got out.
Made friends with a squirrel.

LISA:
Mommy, look, it's a vampire.

Uh, Sookie,

you didn't mention
that you had company.

I didn't think I had to.

Well, I got a right to know
who's looking after my children.

Well, here we are.

Is there a problem?

Ah, take it easy,
chère.

Mr. Compton's raised
a couple of them little ones

himself, yeah?

That's quite right.

Keep these on you, you hear?
And, um...

And stay close to your
Aunt Sookie.

SOOKIE:
They'll be fine,

I promise.

Who wants pizza?
BOTH: Me.

Good,
'cause that's what we're havin'.

You can eat pizza?

Well, unfortunately, no,
but I understand it's delicious.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

TARA:
You know what's good about sex

that people never mention?
SAM: Hm?

For anywhere
between five minutes to an hour,

you forget
your own fucked-up life.

Mm. Only if it's good.

[CHUCKLES]
If it's not, it reminds you

just how bad
your life really is.

Then I guess you're pretty good.

Heh. Thanks,
you're not bad yourself.

Easy on the praise, honey.

What?

No, you're good.

But?

Nothing.
It's good. You're good.

Uh-huh.
What am I doin' wrong?

Nothin'.

I-- See-- It's so minor,
it doesn't even matter.

Sam. What is it?

Don't do this to me.
Spit it out.

S-sometimes...

you grunt.

I what?
It's-- It's natural.

Nothing to get worked up over.
It's just a sound.

A gruntin' sound?
Like a farm animal?

No. No, it's-- It's--
It's-- It's athletic.

Like tennis players
when they serve.

You mean like Serena?

What, because I'm black,
I sound like Serena Williams?

That's not what I said.

You racist son of a bitch.

How can I be racist?
I just had sex with you.

You asshole.

Why'd you have to go and take
the only good 10 minutes

of my entire day
and ruin it like that?

Well, I think it was
more than 10 minutes.

Oh, fuck you. Fuck you all.

All who?

Everybody. Fuck everybody!

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

BILL:
Whipped cream.

Yeah.
Me too.

I hope you can finish this
before your mother comes back.

No problem. I ate a whole jar
of mayonnaise once.

I had to watch.

Bill, how come you can't have
ice cream?

You might say
that I'm lactose intolerant.

Just like my Aunt Fern.

Except she don't tolerate
Mexicans.

LISA:
Aunt Sookie,

is Bill your boyfriend?

Bill, would you say that you're
my boyfriend?

Well, I suppose I'd have to ask
permission from Coby and Lisa.

Would it be all right if I was
Aunt Sookie's boyfriend?

Do you buy her flowers?

Uh, why, no, I-I haven't yet.

You better. Rene buys flowers
for Mama all the time.

Then I will have to
mend my ways.

You do that. Then we'll talk.

Can we see your fangs?

Oh, I don't think that's gonna
be possible.

Why, certainly.

[GROWLING]

[ALL CHUCKLING]

[GROWLS]

Oh, come on, baby,
the kids are waitin' on us.

I don't wanna leave them
with that vampire

one second longer
than I have to.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'm gettin' to it, woman.

[BIRD CRIES]

Baby.

What?

Pass me that Maglite, will you?

[*]

Crap, it's burnt out.

Are you sure?

You better check it. I just put
some fresh batteries in there.

[METAL CLINKS]

Arlene Fowler...

[GASPS]

would you do me the honor
of bein' my wife?

[SOBBING]

Why didn't you say anything
at the Red Lobster?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I know I've done it
four other times,

but it never gets old.

Oh, I'm so thrilled
for you two.

Would you be a bridesmaid
for me again?

Why, of course.
You hardly have to ask.

Oh, honey, I love you so much.

Maybe you two are next, huh?

Well, I mean,
when it becomes legal.

BILL:
Morning, dear.

Bill.

Did you make all this?

I borrowed some of
your grandmother's old recipes.

But the handiwork is all mine.

I don't even know
where to begin.

Well, I would start
with the biscuits.

They just came out
of the oven.

[*]

Gonna be clear skies all day.

Wait, Bill, it's light out.

[*]

Yes, I suppose it is.

[GASPS]

[SIGHS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

[EXHALES]

No. No, I'll make the call.

His mama passed
a couple years back,

but he had some family
in Kentucky.

His dentist confirmed the match
just a bit ago.

I thought you should be
the first to know.

Goddang it.

Why Neil?

He was such a quiet kid.

I'd have never thought
he'd get mixed up with fangers.

Damn.

To have nothing left of you
to ID but teeth.

You wanna maybe let one of
the homes in Monroe handle him?

[INHALES SHARPLY]

No.

No. He worked for me.
I owe it to him.

Give me a couple hours,

I'll come over
and claim him, okay?

Okay. Thanks, Mike.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Pretty tore up?

Blind-sided him.

Had no idea
Neil was a fangbanger.

[SCOFFS]
Jesus, Bud, the kid was creepy.

What 19-year-old goes to work
for a funeral home?

I worked in a slaughterhouse
when I was 15.

They made me clean chitlins.

Speaking of freaks...

SAM:
And that's it.

I got no control
over what people do

after they leave the bar.

You remember anyone
being unusually angry

over what those vampires
did to your bar?

Yeah, everyone.
We were all angry.

Heck, you might as well
interrogate the whole town.

Between you and me,

I wouldn't be heartbroken
if you didn't find who did it.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Old Mrs. Stackhouse,
on the other hand,

now that's a real tragedy.

Her and Dawn
and Maudette Pickens,

one right after the other.

You fellas got
any leads on that?

We're workin' on some
right now.

Good. I'm pullin' for you guys.

BUD:
Okay.

Come on, Andy.

ANDY:
Hey, Sam.

One other thing.

You recall spendin' any time
out in the woods lately?

Yeah.

Some.

But you knew that already,
didn't you?

[SAM SIGHS]

Oh, Andy.

If...

If I tell you, you--
You have to keep this a secret.

All right,
nobody in town knows.

But, uh, I come from
a family of naturists.

Like bird watchers?

No. No, not naturalists.
Naturists.

Naturists believe in a freer

clothing-optional
kind of lifestyle.

You're a nudist?

No, no. Good Lord, no.

But my folks were,
I'm embarrassed to say.

They spent most of their lives
at a nudist colony.

Oh, yeah? Around here?

No, in Texas,
just outside Beaumont.

But, uh, ever since they passed,

I honor their memory
once a year by, uh,

taking a run through the woods
the way they used to. It's--

It's my private way of mourning.

I'm sorry if anybody
had to see it.

[GRUNTS]

[CHUCKLES]

[MOUTHS]
What?

LAFAYETTE:
Hooker,

you done got took. Heh-heh.

That wasn't no damn exorcism,
that was a straight-up con job.

You know what
the fucked-up thing is?

What?
It worked.

It was like aliens beamed down
and switched out her brain.

Then that was 445
well-spent.

[SCOFFS]
Shit. Happy dance.

You should be glad
to be rid of that...

That's your mama.
I ain't gonna say it.

Fuck that.

All the shit you've built up

doesn't go away
because some hoodoo woman

moves some rocks
around on your belly.

I thought you said
it worked.

[SIGHS]

I thought you said
it was a con job.

Heifer, it's not a con job
if you got your money's worth.

Hell. And who knows?

It might do you some good too.

I don't have another 445
to waste on bullshit.

You just saying that
'cause you don't understand it.

And trust me,
this world is filled with things

we will never understand.

Compared to a lifetime
of Zoloft, 445's a bargain.

Hey, what you doing?

Vitamin.

I've never seen you
take a vitamin before.

Ha. So what?

You've never seen me

put on deodorant
or wash my hair

or feed my cat, have you?

But I do all those things.

I don't need a permission slip
from you.

[SIGHS]

[VITAMINS SKITTER]

Christ.

Good day?

[SIGHS]

I need V.

What? I thought you said
you didn't need any again

until you needed it again.

Well, I need it. Okay?

Okay.

Look me in the eye.

Tell me
that you don't want it too.

Yeah, of course I do,

but Lafayette
won't sell it to me.

[SIGHS]

[FOLK SONG PLAYING]

I texted you
three times.

Why didn't you reply?

I hate using
the number keys to type.

What are you listenin' to?

From my younger days.

It's really quite beautiful
if you know Old Swedish.

[SWEDISH FOLK SONG PLAYING]

I have a favor to ask of you.

A favor or an order?

Depends on how you look at it.

Honestly, did you think
you could keep her to yourself?

It feels a little like stalking,
don't it?

It's the most natural thing
in the world. The hunt.

People used to do this
all the time

before we got complacent
with cloned beef

and prepackaged dinners.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

Headlights off.

You done this before?

Stay five lengths behind,
10 if we get on the Parish Road.

[POP SONG PLAYING
ON STEREO]

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Well, hey there,
sweetness.

You ready to party?

I'll take that
as a yes. Nasty.

[ROMANTIC POP SONG PLAYING
ON STEREO]

[LAFAYETTE SNAPPING FINGERS]

I bought this specially for you.

I remember you said

you go for merlot.

I said I worked
at Merlotte's.

But whatever.
Pour me some anyhow.

[ROMANTIC POP SONG
CONTINUES PLAYING ON STEREO]

[SNIFFS]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

All right, baby.
Eddie juice first.

Then we play.

[SIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[MOANS SOFTLY]

Oh, there it is.

[GASPS]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[SIGHS]

I always look forward
to Monday nights.

First Heroes, then...

you.

Eddie, what fun is it
being a vampire

if all you do is watch TV?

Well, I like TV.

Mm. I'm just sayin'
you should try the bars.

I know you like
getting laid too.

Why should I go to the bars?

I got this.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[SIGHS]

You like me, don't you,
Lafayette?

Sure, I like you.

I mean...

even if I wasn't helping out
with the blood,

you'd still want me, right?

Why you even got to
ask me that?

I'd hate to think
it's just business for you

when you come over.

Of course not.

What, you think I fool around
with all my business associates?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Ah, there we go.

[EXHALES]

Now show me what
a dirty old vampire you is.

[ROMANTIC POP SONG
CONTINUES PLAYING ON STEREO]

[MOANING]

I want you so bad...

I ache.

[GASPS]

Well, come on, baby.

I'll take care of you.

[ENGINES STOPS]

BILL:
You said you wanted
to go out tonight.

I did not mean Fangtasia.

I mean, really,
all those pathetic people

who come here looking
for sex with vampires.

I know. It's despicable.

You know what I mean.

So, what, five, 10 minutes?

As long as Eric
requires us.

You mean as long as
he requires me.

Didn't even have the decency
to ask me himself.

You are mine. He didn't need
to ask your permission.

He cannot check me out
like a library book.

Unfortunately,
Sookie, he can.

Eric is sheriff of Area 5.
Sheriff?

It's a position of great power
among our kind.

We do not wanna anger him.

As long as the requests
are reasonable,

we should accede
to his wishes.

[SNIFFS]

I had this crazy dream
this morning.

We were sitting,
eating breakfast,

and all of a sudden
the sunlight set you on fire.

It wouldn't happen
quite that way.

The sunlight would
severely weaken me

and eventually, of course,
I would die.

But I wouldn't burst
into flames.

Not right away, at least.

So I guess we'll never
have breakfast together.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[TWIG SNAPS]

I knew you'd come.

Let's go inside.

MAN [ON PHONE]:
No, I'm quite certain.

We keep extensive records here.

All the way back to, uh, 1958.

Never had anybody
by the name of Merlotte here.

And you're sure you're the only
nudist colony in the area?

Naturist community.

MAN:
We're the first,
finest and only

clothing-optional sanctuary
in all of Jefferson County.

ANDY:
All right.

Thanks very much.

MAN:
You come visit us, you hear?

Got a barbecue every month.

Pam, Longshadow and I
are partners in this club.

And we recently noticed
that $60,000

has gone missing from our books.

And Bruce...

is our accountant.

Perhaps you can listen to him.

He's not saying anything.

Don't be coy.

ERIC:
It's humbling enough to turn
to a human for assistance.

We know what you can do.

And I know
what you can do too.

Why don't you just glamour him?

Now, don't you think
we tried everything

before summoning you?

So it would be
a great favor to me

and to Mr. Compton
if you help us.

If I find out who did it,
then what?

We'll turn that person
over to the police

and let the authorities
handle it from there.

SOOKIE:
Hundreds of years old

and you're still
a terrible liar. Come on.

I'll make you a deal.

If you promise to hand over
the person who did this

to the police,

I'll agree to help you
any time you want.

All right.

Why not?

[*]

BRUCE:
Holy shit,
what's this crazy bitch doing?

Why did I agree
to work for vampires?

Goddamn it,
I knew it was a bad idea.

I've been straight
with these fuckers.

Gotta be an idiot
to steal from them.

Jesus Christ, I was the one
who reported it.

Bruce, it's okay.
Take a deep breath.

Did you steal their money?

[BRUCE WHIMPERING]

No.

No, no. You gotta believe me.
I didn't do it. I swear to--

Shh. Do you know who did?

No.

No, I wish.

I would turn that fucker in.
Who was it?

Couldn't have been Ginger.
She's too dumb.

Although she's hot as shit.
I'd fuck her if I could.

He's tellin' the truth.

LONGSHADOW:
You trust

the skinny human
to clear the fat one?

[SIGHS]

Bring the next one in.

[SOBBING]

[*]

[COUNTRY SONG PLAYING
ON RADIO]

You got cash?
Are you buying?

Just remember your lines,
that's all I need from you.

I'll handle the rest.

I'm not gonna
have to have sex with him?

I said that I will handle it.

Okay.

I know you probably don't think
I'm all that smart,

but I do know that that vampire
can kill us both

before we even get in
the door.

You'll handle it.

What the hell is that?

While the wing nuts on the left
keep pushing their so-called

vampire-rights legislation,

I'm more concerned
with basic human rights.

The right for our sons
and daughters

to go to school without fear
of molestation

by a bloodthirsty predator
in the playground

or in the classroom.

Someone has got to take a stand
for public safety

over permissiveness
and immorality.

If you ask me, he's protesting
a little too hard.

Come out of the closet,
Reverend Steve.

I know plenty
of friendly vampires

who'd like to take a bite
out of you.

[WOMAN CHUCKLES]

Oh, but truly,
it's inflammatory talk

from folks like Steve Newlin

who make me ashamed
to call myself a human.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Thanks for watching.

We'll be bite back.

Who is it?

Um, I'm a friend
of Lafayette Reynolds.

He sent me for you.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

[YELPS]
Jesus Christ.

Get his feet.
Are you kidding?

Get his feet!
Okay, okay.

No, please! I'll give you
anything you want.

Shut up!
Amy, what the hell?

No names, dumbass.

I thought
we'd take a little blood and go.

Shut the fuck up.
Jeez.

Now, come on, lift.
What?

AMY:
Lift him up.

[EDDIE SCREAMING]

EDDIE:
Please! No!

No! I'll do anything
you want. Please.

[EDDIE SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

This is the last
of our humans.

Mmm. Yummy.

ERIC:
Ginger,

this woman has some
questions for you.

Be a good girl
and answer them, will you?

Aye, aye, master.

Don't you touch me.

Ginger, someone's been
stealing money from the bar.

Really? Huh.

GINGER:
Don't look at me.
I didn't do nothing.

I'll beat the shit out of you
if you say I did.

It wasn't me that took it.
It wasn't me.

She didn't do it...

but she knows who did.
What?

Fuck you.

GINGER:
Shit. How'd she know?

I didn't tell anyone, I swear.

Fuck, he's gonna kill me.

Who? Who's gonna kill you?

Ginger, honey, what's his name?

I-it's blank,
like her memory's been erased.

I don't know anything,
I swear.

She's been glamoured.
It's a vampire.
