Eric Northman

2x01 Nothing but the Blood

[Lafayette tries to make Royce be quiet as Eric descends the stairs into Fangtasia's basement]

ERIC: [stops humming] No, shushing won't do any good, sweetheart. We hear everything. But since you made me come all the way down here, I ought to take out some of the garbage. [crouches in front of Royce] Royce Alan Williams, we have a few questions for you with regard to the fire which claimed three of our kind.

ROYCE: No fucking way, man. I don't know anything!

ERIC: Crimes against vampires are on the rise. We lost a sheriff just days ago, and we seek answers.

ROYCE: [as Eric walks him out] No! No! Die, you dead fucker! [presses a silver cross to Eric's cheek]

ERIC: [roars and tears Royce to pieces as Lafayette watches in horror]
