Eric Northman

1x04 Escape from Dragon House

SOOKIE: Who's that?

BILL: Oh, you noticed him, did ya?

SOOKIE: No, it's not like that, I just--

BILL: Everyone does. That's Eric. He's the oldest thing in this bar.

SOOKIE: Don't say uh-oh. Vampires are not supposed to say uh-oh.

BILL: It's Eric. He's scanned you twice. He's going to summon us.

SOOKIE: He can do that?

BILL: Oh yeah.

[Eric motions for them to come. Bill and Sookie walk over to Eric and Pam.]

ERIC: Bill Compton. It has been a while.

BILL: Yes, well, I've been--

ERIC: Mainstreaming? I heard. [looks at Sookie] I see that is going well for you.

BILL: Yes, of course, sorry, Eric, this is my friend--

ERIC: Sookie Stackhouse.

SOOKIE: How do you know my name?

PAM: I never forget a pretty face. You're in my vault.

SOOKIE: Great. That's just great. It's nice to meet you.

ERIC: Well, aren't you sweet.

SOOKIE: Not really.

ERIC: Vår lilla djurpark börjar växa till sig. (Our little zoo is beginning to grow.)

PAM: Jag vet. (I know.)

ERIC: Miss Stackhouse, I understand you've been asking questions about some of my customers.

SOOKIE: Yes, I have.

ERIC: If you have anything to ask, you should ask it of me.

SOOKIE: Alrighty. [pulls out pictures of Maudette and Dawn] You recognize either one of these girls?

ERIC: Hmmm. [points to Maudette] This one offered herself to me, but I found her too pathetic for my attentions. [points to Dawn] Now this one, however, I have tasted.

PAM: I remember 'em both.

SOOKIE: On account of the vault?

PAM: Never had either of 'em, though. They weren't really my type.

SOOKIE: Well, thank you very much. That is all your time I need to take.

ERIC: I'm not finished with you yet. Please sit. [Sookie sits] Sooo, Bill, are you quite attached to your friend?

BILL: She is mine.

SOOKIE: Yes. I am his.

ERIC: Well, what a pity. For me. [stares at Sookie, but talks to Bill] Sit with us. We have catching up to do, you and I. It has been too long.

BILL: Yes. [sits]

[Eric keeps staring at Sookie; she "hears" a cop planning a raid]

SOOKIE: We have to get outta here.

BILL: Sookie...

SOOKIE: Eric, the cops are coming. There's gonna be a raid.

ERIC: Tell me you're not an undercover cop.

SOOKIE: I'm not, but that man in the hat is.

ERIC: Even if you're right, we do nothing illegal here.

SOOKIE: There's a vampire named Taryn in the ladies' room with that man you kicked before. She's feeding on him.

PAM: How do you know this?

[police come in]

ERIC: Follow me. [leading them outside a back door] I enjoyed meeting you, Miss Stackhouse. You will come again.
