She's Not There [4.1]

 * Bill: Eric, go!
 * Eric: [to Sookie] Apparently I have to go, but understand this: everyone who claims to love you, your friends, your brother, even Bill Compton, they all gave up on you. I. Never. Did.


 * Nan: Stop. Cut. [points] That is the man we want.
 * Eric: What? Pam not so good?
 * Nan: She's fine if you happen to be blind, deaf and an idiot.
 * Pam: What's idiotic is that the AVI believes the public to be so naive.
 * Nan: I have proof. Scientific. People are far dumber than they realize.


 * Sookie: [surprised by Eric in her bedroom while changing] What the hell! Excuse me?!
 * Eric: Mmm. Such a strange sensation when the reality matches what you pictured in your mind so precisely.
 * Sookie: Is this another dream? It's been a year, how much of your blood is left in me?
 * Eric: It's not a dream, I assure you.
 * Sookie: Then how are you here? I rescinded your invitation.
 * Eric: You don't own the house anymore. [pulls a key from his pocket] I do.
 * Sookie: Why would you do that? Why would you buy my house?
 * Eric: Because I always knew you were alive, and if I own the house well then I would own you. Sookie, you are mine.

You Smell Like Dinner [4.2]

 * Eric: There are two Sookie Stackhouses. One who still clings to the idea that she's merely human and the other who's coming to grips with the fact that you are better than that.
 * Sookie: And what do you think's gonna happen when I do come to grips with it? Do you think my legs are just gonna magically open for you?
 * Eric: Well, that was saucy. Must have been fairy Sookie talking. I like when she comes out.
 * Sookie: And I'm already sorry I said it.
 * Eric: Don't be. The more you let her speak for you, the more likely you are to go on living. And you want to live, don't you?

If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'? [4.3]

 * Sookie: You know perfectly well why I smell the way I smell.
 * Eric: Like wheat and honey and sunlight.
 * Sookie: Eric, I am not in the mood.
 * Eric: What are you?


 * Sookie: [interrupts Eric speaking Swedish] English.
 * Eric: Her eyes. Her cold, empty eyes. They were reaching into me, emptying me.
 * Sookie: Okay.
 * Eric: And it was her, but it wasn't her. She was in a circle, chanting, and everything I was was taken from me.
 * Sookie: Okay. I'll help you deal with this, but there are some grounds rules that will not be broken or you're on your own. You do not touch me, and you most certainly do not bite me. Oh, forget it.
 * Eric: I swear.
 * Sookie: Eric.
 * Eric: I swear it.
 * Sookie: All right. Let's go.


 * Eric: Wow. This really is my house.
 * Sookie: Yeah, but not for long.
 * Eric: You live here? In my house?
 * Sookie: Yes.
 * Eric: Are you mine?
 * Sookie: No!
 * Eric: Do you belong to another vampire?
 * Sookie: No.
 * Eric: Would you like to be mine?
 * Sookie: Not really, but thank you for asking.

I'm Alive and on Fire [4.4]

 * Eric: [drunkenly, after drinking Sookie's blood] Hey. [stumbles forward] Want...
 * Sookie: Quit.
 * Eric: I want more.
 * Sookie: You can't have any more. There isn't any more. You drank the whole fairy and you're going to your room!
 * Eric: Drink...you. [leans in to bite her]
 * Sookie: Eric, you'll kill me, no!
 * Eric: [pulls back] I would never harm you. [retracts fangs]
 * Sookie: You better not. [covers neck] Come on, I'll tuck you in.
 * Eric: [chuckles, then speeds in front of her, pinching her butt on the way]
 * Sookie: Hey! Did you just pinch my butt?!
 * Eric: [circles around her, smilng] Beautiful butt.
 * Sookie: Well, thanks, but hands off. [he does it again, laughing] I said... You're drunk!
 * Eric: [leans in] Catch me! [speeds off]
 * Sookie: Get back here! [he speeds back, laughing] I'm trying to help you, you can't do this. Get back in the house right now.
 * Eric: [speeds around, then sneaks up behind her] Never.
 * Sookie: It'll be dawn soon!
 * Eric: I don't care. [speeds off]


 * Sookie: Eric can daywalk some with the fairy blood, but it makes him drunk as a skunk. He's hammered, and who knows how long he starts to fry. [Alcide-wolf stops by the water] There's no time to rest, we gotta keep moving. Alcide, I know you don't like him, but Pam'll kill me if he dies.
 * Eric: [bursts out of the water, in full daylight] Hey Sookie! Where've you been? Come, come play with me, it's wonderful here. I am Ægir, god of the sea, and you are Rán, my sea goddess.
 * Sookie: There's big gators in there, you crazy Viking! Get on out and let's go home before one of them chomps off your you-know-what.
 * Eric: Leave the sun and the water? Nope, I'll just kill all the sea monsters! Gators! [taunts]Krokodiler! Show yourselves! Cowards!
 * Alcide: [shifts back into human] He really is different.
 * Eric: [roars, fangs out] Get away from her!
 * Alcide: Fuck you, she wants me here!
 * Sookie: Eric, this is Alcide. He's our friend, he's gonna help you. You don't wanna fight him.
 * Eric: Yes, I do. Now, prepare to die, you stinking dog.
 * Alcide: Take a shot, you dumb shit fanger.
 * Sookie: Grow up, you giant babies! [both growl] Alcide, stop making that noise. Eric, put up those fangs and do what I say!
 * Eric: [starts to sizzle and smoke] Ahh, I don't feel so good.
 * Sookie: [walks into water] Now will you listen to me?
 * Eric: Sookie, I hurt. My blood is burning.
 * Sookie: I know, I know. You gotta get...vamp speed. [walking him out of the water/sun]
 * Eric: I don't wanna go back to the dark. I wanna st...I wanna...Sookie, I don't wanna...


 * Eric: I don't wanna go to sleep.
 * Sookie: You have to rest. You got all burned up today. Let me check. Everything healed. Now, lay down and close your eyes.
 * Eric: No, no.
 * Sookie: If you stay awake, you're gonna start bleeding all over the place.
 * Eric: I know what the bleeds are.
 * Sookie: Fine, then you can clean it up. I'm not a maid. [starts to leave]
 * Eric: Stay with me. Please.
 * Sookie: Can't - human stuff to do.
 * Eric: Oh.


 * Sookie: You're too quiet. This isn't like you.
 * Eric: Yes, it is.
 * Sookie: No, it's not. The real Eric --
 * Eric: I am real.
 * Sookie: Yes, you are. I meant the Eric with his memories. Not much gets him down. Sure, he's a rascal and a troublemaker, and most of the time I'd like to smack the smile off his face, but he's a happy vampire.
 * Eric: I'll never swim in the sun again. Never feel the heat on my skin. Never see the daylight in your hair.
 * Sookie: Well, the nighttime's not so bad. You've still got the stars in the sky.
 * Eric: Don't. I'm not a child.
 * Sookie: I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better.
 * Eric: You think I'm weak.
 * Sookie: No.
 * Eric: You want the Eric who doesn't feel.
 * Sookie: It's not that.
 * Eric: If you kiss me, I promise to be happy.
 * Sookie: [smiles] No.
 * Eric: [smiles back] Why? it's only a kiss.


 * Marnie: [casting a spell] Morior, mortuus, moriturus! Liquefactum, et calesco putridas!

Me and the Devil [4.5]

 * [Eric sneaks into Sookie's bedroom. She wakes with a start to see him leaning over her, fangs out, and he pulls back.]
 * Sookie: Eric, what the hell?!
 * Eric: Uh...I had a bad dream.


 * Eric: I don't know why I’m crying.
 * Sookie: Godric was your maker. You loved him. You miss him.
 * Eric: He said I was evil.
 * Sookie: It was a dream [she strokes his hair]
 * Eric: [turns to face her] Am I evil?
 * Sookie: Well, you’re not Gandhi, but no, you’re not evil.
 * Eric: [lays his head in her lap] I like being next to you. [she laughs] Why are you laughing?
 * Sookie: It’s just that if someone had told me a week ago I’d be curled up in bed with Eric Northman, stroking his hair, I woulda...
 * Eric: You would’ve what?
 * Sookie: It’s just...you weren’t always like this.
 * Eric: Like what?
 * Sookie: Gentle. Sweet. But it suits you. It's what Godric would've wanted. To see you like this. He was the most human of all the vampires I’ve ever met.
 * Eric: Strange to miss someone you don't remember. Would it be alright if I stayed here till sunrise?
 * Sookie: As long as you promise to keep your hands and your fangs to yourself.
 * Eric: I promise. [He turns and she lies next to him. He takes her arm and wraps it around himself.] I will never hurt anyone as beautiful as you.


 * Eric: Did I really do all those terrible things your friend said I did?
 * Sookie: Yes.
 * Eric: Then your pain is my fault. Why are you letting me stay with you?
 * Sookie: Because there’s more to you. I always knew there was decency in you. Even when you were a smug sarcastic ass, I still knew it.
 * Eric: Whether decency is in me is irrelevant. I’m clearly capable of extreme cruelty.
 * Sookie: You were, but I wouldn’t be here with you right now, I swear it, if I didn’t know in my heart you could change. I’ve seen you change. And I like it. I like you.
 * Eric: There’s a light in you. It’s beautiful. I couldn’t bear it if I snuffed it out. [gets up and leaves]
 * Sookie: [goes after him] Eric! Please don’t go.
 * [He walks back to the porch, and she holds her arms out for a hug. They embrace, breathing each other in, as he strokes her hair. She kisses him softly on the cheek, then they begin to kiss passionately.]

I Wish I Was the Moon [4.6]

 * Pam: We'll get your life back. I swear.
 * Eric: I don't want it! The things I've done, I... I don't want to remember.
 * Pam: You don't know what you're saying.
 * Eric: I'm not the vampire you think I am. Not anymore.


 * Marnie: [casting a spell on vampire sheriff Luis] Existo meus mancipium. Pareo mihi. [Luis falls to his knees] You little fuck.


 * [Sookie walks in on Jason handcuffed to his bed]
 * Sookie: I should've known. This is a sex thing, isn't it?
 * Jason: No! Don't come any closer!
 * [Sookie continues to walk toward Jason]
 * Sookie: You on V again?
 * Jason: No, dammit, listen to me! Get out of here. Now! It ain't safe Sook, I mean it. I'm dangerous.
 * Sookie: Okay look, I've had a hell of a mornin', and my patience is running pretty thin. So you're going to tell me what's going on here, or I will fish it out of your head myself. Your choice.
 * Jason: I think...I'm turning into a were-panther.
 * Sookie: A were-what?
 * Jason: Panther. [Sookie laughs] It's like a were-wolf, except a big ass cat. I got bit, and stuff by my psycho ex-girlfriend and her were-panther tribe, and they said I would turn into one of them on the full moon.
 * Sookie: So you handcuffed yourself to the bed?
 * Jason: Yeah.
 * Sookie: But if you turn into a panther, won't the handcuffs just fall off?
 * Jason: Shit, I never thought of that. Sookie, listen to me, you gotta get out of here now because I ain't never forgive myself if I bite your head off.

Cold Grey Light of Dawn [4.7]

 * Bill: Since when has any fanatic been held back by the improbability of their righteous mission?


 * Tara: (to her girlfriend) Everyone who's ever been with me has ended up dead. It ain't a long list, but it's a bad one to be on.


 * Eric: (about Sookie before he is to be executed) Tell her I was born the night she found me. Because of her I went to my true death knowing what it means to love.


 * Sookie: (to Eric) There was one other time I saw you under silver. You were in a church full of people who hated vampires. You said you’d give yourself up in exchange for Godric, and for me. Didn’t sink in at the time, but even then, you were willing to die for me.


 * Sookie: Sookie: We left our clothes in the woods.
 * Eric: You want me to go get them?
 * Sookie: Don’t you dare move!

<hr width="50%"/>

And When I Die [4.12]

 * Antonia: I was trapped between worlds for four hundred years, lost, and driven mad by my rage. I do not want that for you.
 * Marnie: And what about what I want? Nobody cares what I want. All my life I've been afraid, and who wouldn't be, with dead people muttering in my ears? Making me deliver your messages. Making me into a freak! A creepy, pathetic, terrified mess muttering to herself in the corner.
 * Antonia: But that is not who you are anymore.
