(CHATTERING)
MAN 1: Would you like to try a lumiere?
MAN 2: I'd like to.
MAN 1: They're great.
WOMAN 1: It's delicious. Didn't I tell you?
WOMAN 2: Would you like a lumiere?
MAN 3: Fresh picked.
WOMAN 3: A new arrival. Step back.
(CLAPPING)
Ohh.
I feel nauseous. CLAUDINE: It'll pass.
Well done. As you were.
Wait. Are you like the head of the fairies or something?
Oh, hardly. No, I'm your...
I'm your godmother. You know, it's a...
I have a fairy godmother?
It's not all fun and parties. Some of us have to work.
Okay, if your job is to look after me,
can I just say you suck?
You know how many times I could have used a fairy godmother?
Well, you're still alive.
You're not exactly Miss Trouble Free, you know.
Come on. Let's enjoy the party.
Sookie?
Barry? BARRY: Yeah.
The bellboy? Yeah.
How long have you been here? We just got here.
Jesus, can you believe this place?
Oh, this is my fairy godmother, Lloyd.
Hi.
Look at everyone.
Do you realize this is like the one place in the universe
where we're not freaks? (CHUCKLES)
Well, we're going to get a drink.
Once you two are finished chatting, mingle.
Would you like a lumiere? A light-fruit.
Yeah.
WOMAN: Oh, my God.
Mm.
Barry, hold on a sec.
Whoa. This is like biting into pure happiness.
You gotta try this, Sookie. Yeah, hold on.
Now, isn't that a beauty?
Just turned ripe.
Granddaddy?
Beg your pardon?
Granddaddy Earl.
I'm Sookie.
I just saw you last week.
It was your birthday.
Granddaddy, that was 20 years ago.
Oh, my Lord. It's...
Your grandma, did she...?
Did she pass gentle?
It was peaceful.
She lived a happy life.
Mama and Daddy, they were in a flood,
so I have no idea.
I try not to think about it. It's just me and Jason now.
Twenty years. I can't understand how...
I swear I've only been here a few hours.
You've been here all this time?
I...
I must have lost track of time.
It's just everything seems so...
Lovely.
(GROWLING)
WOMAN: Would you like a lumiere?
SOOKIE: Granddaddy, can you hear me?
EARL: Yes. Yes, I can hear you.
SOOKIE: This is a trap.
We need to leave.
MAB: A trap?
The trap is the world you've left behind.
Oh, no need to bow. We're all friends here.
I'm sorry. I just have no idea who you are.
You can call me Mab. I am the one who sent for you.
Have you had a try of the lumiere fruit yet?
No, I haven't. It's very good. Have a taste.
I don't want any!
The future of our kind is in peril.
A vampire breached our realm
because he'd had a taste of fairy blood.
Your blood.
In the old kingdom, vampires nearly drank us to extinction.
They drove us onto this plane. It won't happen again.
I'm staying away from vampires. I guaran-damn-tee you.
(IN DEEP VOICE) Oh, I know.
(IN NORMAL VOICE) We can't have bearers of the fae
on the human plane any longer.
We've sown too many seeds with humans.
Now it is time to harvest.
Harvest?
You're harvesting people. Fruit, please.
Get away from me!
MAB (IN DEEP VOICE): Eat it.
(SOOKIE GRUNTS AND SCREAMS)
(SCREAMS)
(CROWD CLAMORS AND GASPS)
Granddaddy, run!
Do not let the girl escape!
Get her!
Can you keep up? Ah! Trying.
Try harder!
(BOTH YELL)
CLAUDE: Come with us! We can help you!
SOOKIE: Let me go!
Do not fear. We can get you home. Hold them off!
I've got the humans! Hurry. This way! Hurry!
This way!
You have to jump.
What? I don't even know who the hell you are.
My sister abducted you, because the crown wishes
to seal off the human world from Fairy forever.
And you don't? It was once our world too.
It is our right to travel there. Have you eaten the light-fruit?
He has, but not me. Only you can go then.
Hurry! MAB: Humans!
Do not listen to his lies. Jump and you will die!
She's closing the portal. Do you want to go home or not?
Sookie, go! Go! Sookie!
(SOOKIE SCREAMS)
(BOTH GRUNT)
Granddaddy?
What's wrong?
It's... I had the light-fruit.
But I had to see you home.
Your...
Your mama and daddy.
Your granny, are they here?
Yes. Come on.
(GROANING)
Uhh!
I never meant to leave you all.
We never believed you abandoned us.
None of us ever stopped loving you.
That's good.
Your gran's gonna give me what for in heaven.
I guarantee you.
I'm dying, pumpkin. Granddaddy, no.
I can feel it.
Give this to Jason.
Man ought to own a good watch.
Now I'm happy.
I'm where I belong.
You be good, Sookie. I love you.
(SOBBING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(MEN CHATTERING & TOOLS HAMMERING)
SOOKIE: What the...?
Sweetheart, where do you think you're going?
It's my house. Hey, you can't go in there.
SOOKIE: Oh, my God.
SOOKIE: Um, excuse me.
Honey, if you don't come out, I'm calling the police.
Do it. Call the cops.
Because I would love an explanation.
(SOOKIE SNIFFLING)
JASON: Hello.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Police.
Jason?
Sookie. Sookie.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Look. I can't believe it's you.
Jason, why are you dressed like a cop?
Jesus Christ. We thought you were dead.
We've been looking everywhere for you.
We figured a vampire must have did it.
Bill or maybe that crazy tall one.
Hold on, hold on. Stop a second.
What is today's date?
Today is October 21st.
I've been gone two weeks?
Sook.
You've been gone 12 and a half months.
SOOKIE: You sold my house?
Your stuff's all still here.
Now, I packed it, but I didn't get a chance to...
Yeah, I saw.
Well, at least I didn't throw it away.
Look, Sook, you have been gone for a year,
and it killed me even thinking about all the people
who should still be living here and how they're all gone.
I just couldn't take it no more.
Who bought the place?
A real estate company with a bunch of initials.
AIK, I think. Look, they had the cash.
They was offering more than I was asking, and I just...
I just wanted to be done with it.
I can't believe you gave up on me.
What choice did I have?
Sook, you ain't the type
to just skip off without telling no one.
Plus, you'd been all mixed up with vampires.
Look, we put up fliers. We called TV stations.
I did everything I could think of.
We even made up a website.
But after you were gone so long...
I swear it felt like 10, 15 minutes at the most.
The place where I went, time just works differently.
I believe you.
I do, but, Sook, if you start telling people
that you time traveled to a land full of fairies,
they're gonna put you away.
Where the hell did you get that?
I saw Granddaddy. He was there.
He wanted you to have it.
He swore he'd only been there a few hours.
Jason, he looked just like we remember him.
Time stands still there, and no one knows it.
It's how I lost a year of my life and Granddaddy lost 20.
Where is he?
Well, you didn't leave him there, did you?
Jason, he's gone. I'm sorry.
But he wanted you to have that watch,
so that you'd always know
that he never meant to leave you.
What time you got?
Six thirty-five.
Which means...
My God.
Sookie.
Forgive me. I know I'm not welcome.
I have not felt your presence for over a year.
Well, I'm fine.
You were with Claudine?
It's none of your business where I go or what I do.
Sookie, for over 12 months I was so empty.
It was as if...
I thought you had died.
Well, I knew you weren't dead.
Eric, not now. I never lost hope.
Don't you have an obligation?
I don't think so. Pam can handle it.
They want you. I appreciate your concern.
Eric, go!
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.
Nice paint.
(SIREN WAILS)
You have gotta be shitting me. Happy to see you too, Andy.
Jeez. Are you all right? Yeah, I'm safe, sound.
We all thought...
They all thought that I had killed you.
When you're up to it, come on down to the station.
We'll get your statement,
track down whoever it was that took you.
Nobody took me. What?
I wasn't kidnapped. Don't tell me you skipped town.
You know how many man hours I put into looking for you?
Hey, take it easy, Andy.
We dragged the fucking lake for you! Where the hell did you go?
Hey. She was working for me.
Vampire business. What?
Are you kidding me? What kind of vampire business?
For a year, you swore you had no idea where she was.
I deeply apologize for misleading you, sheriff.
Too many human lives would be at risk
if I did not keep it a secret.
Now, as you can see, Miss Stackhouse is unharmed.
I'm back. I'm fine.
I will come down to the office tomorrow,
and I will explain it all.
And I will repay the costs of the search effort
as soon as you issue a statement clearing my name.
Obviously, I did not kill her.
For 13 straight months I've had that open case on my books.
If it weren't for you,
this year's Louisiana Safe Streets plaque
would be on my wall and not fucking Webster Parish!
All right, that's enough!
Andy, this ain't nothing we can't get into tomorrow.
You owe me a plaque! Get in the car.
You get in the car.
I know I've lost an entire year
and I know you must have been worried for me,
but in my mind
it's only an hour ago that you broke my heart
into a million pieces.
I understand.
You're safe.
That's all that matters.
I'll leave you be. Oh, no.
That's good.
I'm glad you're okay with...
I'm glad you're okay. Yeah.
Good night, Sookie.
You using again? What? No.
I had maybe one drop this morning, but it's gone. I'm out.
You're out now.
(FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING OVER STEREO)
LAFAYETTE: Five minutes.
The woman who leads our group,
I've never seen anybody more hooked in
to the magic inside of her.
It'll be good for you. Ten months.
Ten good motherfucking months I've gone without a vision,
and now you want me to go hang out
with a bunch of witches. In a coven.
It's not a coven.
First it was your meditation group. Then it was...
It's different, completely different.
The Dallas Pagan Fair.
Five minutes.
Ten if they got drinks.
Smell like where old air fresheners go to die.
You'll get used to it.
Now, they're cool. Trust me.
They even got a beaded curtain.
LAFAYETTE: Oh, hell no.
(MARNIE CHANTING)
Hi.
HOLLY: Look who's here. So sorry we're late.
Oh, no. You haven't missed anything. Is this your...?
Yeah, this is my partner. Lafayette, this is Katie.
Hi. Finally broke him down, huh?
I've been trying for ages.
We are so glad that you joined us.
Oh, no. Wait. I'm not...
Did you tell them I was joining?
That's Marnie. We'll introduce you to her later.
She look like she could use a nap.
Oh, no. She's transported herself to another plane.
That's how she can contact the spirits of the dead.
Does she ever find anybody? Well, it's like fishing.
Cast your line, sometimes you get a response,
sometimes you don't.
On nights we don't, there's always vodka.
Greatest witch ever, huh?
Don't be an asshole.
(CHANTING INDISTINCTLY)
Me?
But what she want me for?
Go on. It's okay.
(GRUNTING)
LAFAYETTE: How y'all doing?
(GRUNTING)
Uh...
Did you ever know anyone named, uh...? Named Edith?
No.
Never. I'm pretty sure.
Maybe in a short form? Edie?
No. But keep guessing.
You'll get one right eventually.
HOLLY: Wait. Hold on.
(GRUNTING)
Eddie?
Could be.
It's a common name.
You lose someone by that name recently?
We lost touch.
(IN DEEP VOICE) I got something for him.
He's got something for you.
A rose.
Go on, take it.
Why would I want a rose?
They drained me, Lafayette.
But it's okay.
It was worth it...
just to have a glass of merlot with you.
What the f...? How did you fucking do that?
(IN NORMAL VOICE) I didn't do anything. It just came to me. I'm sorry.
You told them. He fucking told you.
No, no. I swear, I didn't say anything. I didn't say a thing.
Lafayette.
It was a spirit. I can't remember a thing.
It's okay, it's okay. What happened?
ARLENE: Terry. Mama's home.
Hey, Mikey, baby.
Terry?
Terry. Get in here. Now.
What's up?
How in the hell did this happen?
Coby and Lisa are at their Aunt Mona's.
I figured why not let him play with them.
You let him pull their heads off.
Hm.
No, he wasn't doing that.
I just left him here for a sec while I hit the head.
Well, how long were you in there?
I don't know.
Two or three minutes.
Decapitating Barbie dolls.
What the hell kind of baby does that?
Just boys. Regular, ordinary, curious boys.
When I was a kid,
I used to put squirrel heads on lizard bodies
and invent new animals and...
He's a good boy, baby.
If he's got any of you in him, he's good.
It ain't my half I'm worried about.
Mikey...
Mama loves you so, so very much,
but you have got to understand.
Killing is wrong.

MAN (ON TV): The male wastes no time and goes in for the kill

Hey, hon. How was work?
Ten hours of laying hot mix asphalt
next to a swamp full of mosquitoes.
How do you think it was?
I'm starving.
Well, you got your pizza from Monday still left, I think.
(SIGHS)
You remember I eat, right? Like, food.
Be nice to have some in the house.
And you remember I don't eat, don't you?
Uh. You eat me.
A scrambled egg once in a while doesn't seem like much to ask.
Do you understand how gross human food is to a vampire?
It's all dead. Permanently forever dead.
Going to the Piggly Wiggly for me
is like going to the morgue for you.
You think bleeding out into your mouth
wasn't gross for me at first?
You get used to it. I mean, honestly. How hard is it?
You crack one into a pan. Fine.
You want an egg?
How about a dozen fucking eggs?
What the hell are you doing? I'm cooking for you.
Just like your mama.
Don't bring her into this. That woman is dead to me.
If her aim were any better, I'd be a pile of goo
and she'd be making your eggs. Your delicious fucking eggs.
You know what? I'm not asking you for the moon, Jess.
You like them runny?
I don't give a crap. I'm starving.
Good. Because God forbid I overcook it.
Yep.
There.
You happy?
Mm.
How's it taste? Tastes great.
Now, you know what? Tastes just fucking scrumptious.
(CHUCKLES)
Quit it.
No, stop eating. You'll make yourself...
Damn, Hoyt. There's nothing funny...
about your disgusting
sorry-ass cooking. I'm s...
through the same game with four re...
Well, TV sure hasn't gotten any better in the past year.
Where's your uniform?
Shove over.
I'm not letting you spend the night alone.
You want with marshmallows or without?
With.
Look, I know you must have been worried for me,
but you can't shadow me forever.
No, it ain't that, Sook.
It's just...
I don't know, having you back,
it's, like, the happiest I've been in my entire life.
And I don't want it to end.
I love you too.
I'm still mad you sold the house.
You are not gonna let me live that down, are you?
Tomorrow, I'm gonna call Sid Matt
and see if we can't give those AIK people their money back.
I'm keeping the flat screen, though.
Well, yeah. It's nice.
Yes, of course Fangtasia is for everyone.
Vampires, humans, men, women, families, pets.
Everyone is welcome. Come on down.
The blood is warm, and so is the service.
And do human families have anything to fear
with vampire-owned businesses in their community?
No.
Can you elaborate on that?
Human families have nothing to fear
with vampire-owned businesses in their comm...
Stop. Cut.
That is the man we want.
ERIC: What? Pam not so good?
She was fine, if you happen to be blind and deaf and an idiot.
What's idiotic is that the AVL believes
the public to be so naive.
I have proof, scientific.
People are far dumber than they realize.
It's a post-Russell Edgington world, everyone,
and we win back the human public one smile at a time.
Now, can anyone here play this game?
Ahem.
Action.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Eric Northman.
I'm a taxpaying American and small business owner
in the great state of Louisiana.
I also happen to be a vampire.
You know, as the oldest member of this community,
I would've been eligible
to take up residence here 110 years ago.
But it warms my heart
to see the most beloved folks of our town
taken care of in the way they deserve.
In the past year, there's been a lot
of inflammatory talk from politicians
warning their constituents not to trust vampires.
But think about it for a second. Who would you rather trust?
A vampire or a politician?
I must offer my gratitude
for the generosity and the open-mindedness
of the Bon Temps Chamber of Commerce
led by the redoubtable Miss Portia Bellefleur.
The truth is vampires are as different from each other
as humans are, because we were humans,
and we ask only to be treated as such.
I am also grateful to be able to honor my wife,
Caroline,
who was a treasure of this community for over 60 years.
And many of these trees on this street were planted by her
and all the other members of the Arbor Society,
and it is my wish that this center will grace our town
for as long as these trees have stood around us.
And we welcome you into our world as well.
We're always more than happy
to serve humans here at Fangtasia,
and I don't mean for dinner.
Now then,
we can't have a ribbon cutting
without the giant scissors.
Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Compton.
It's kind of nice
not being the oldest person here for a change.
Cut. There you go.
(MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE)
It's a disgusting habit. Heh, heh.
It's my victory cigarette.
I totally let you win.
Hey.
(DRUNK MAN CHUCKLES AND MOANS)
Don't mind me. I don't want to distract from the show.
Go on. Fuck off.
You take requests? I'll give you 10 if you eat each other out.
That's, uh, 5 each.
I'm a seventh dan in tae kwon do,
so no, I don't take requests.
But I can crush your spine so bad
you'll be sucking your own dick.
Naomi, it doesn't matter.
He won't remember any of this tomorrow.
I will if I get me some of that chocolate-banana swirl.
How about $20? NAOMI: Last time, pervert.
We're not fucking prostitutes.
Everyone's got a price.
NAOMI: That's it. Fifty?
TARA: I'm sad for you, buddy.
Sad that you gotta hassle women on the street.
Sad that you gotta make a asshole of yourself
for the attention
and sad you gotta offer money
because there ain't nothing else about you
that's worth loving.
That's for me not reporting you for solicitation.
Come on, Toni.
SOOKIE: Oh, I'm so sorry I missed your wedding.
ARLENE: Oh, it's okay.
We were all thinking the worst. I can't breathe.
Well, especially Arlene.
ARLENE: You know where my mind went.
The man you loved turns out to be a crazed killer.
He wasn't. Well, I know, but...
He wasn't. Of course.
Still, we were gonna name the baby after you.
But then it turned out to be a boy,
and there ain't no boy version of Sookie.
I can't wait to meet him. Oh, well, you'll see.
He's, uh... He's really, really smart.
He is.
I'm gonna get my hug in before my gumbo burn.
Next time, text a motherfucker or something
and save us all from a world of worry.
I will.
Is Tara working today?
No, she... She moved.
What? Where to? Yeah.
Honestly, Sook, I don't know.
She sent postcards. A month in Houston, next in Santa Fe.
But she seemed to be doing good.
I can't believe Tara would just move away.
After what she'd been through?
Yeah, okay. I guess I can.
Will you tell her I asked for her?
Yeah.
Yeah, next time she writes.
Vampire business, huh?
I'm sorry. I can't say any more.
Must have been pretty important
to keep everybody grieving over you for a whole year.
I know what y'all must have gone through.
No, you don't. Because you weren't here.
Hey, a lot's happened, Sookie. A lot's changed.
Yeah.
You've gotten a lot more prickly.
You start part-time.
Holly and Arlene got kids. They need the shifts.
Are we still not talking?
You set me up.
What reason would I have
to purposely freak you out like that?
Tell me why you want me to be in this crazy witch cult so bad.
You'd rather believe that I would lure you into a cult
than the possibility that magic can really happen?
Marnie found Eddie on her own, man. That's real.
It's real magic. It's in her, and it's in you too.
I got by just fine my whole life without no fucking magic.
When are you gonna stop denying the fact that you got a gift?
Ever since you realized it,
you've been fighting against yourself.
I care about you,
and I hate to see you run away
from the thing that makes you special.
That's why I want you in my crazy witch cult.
I need a word with Mr. Reynolds.
In private. Police matter.
Listen, we're... We're gonna meet again tonight. You coming?
I don't know.
Can I help you, Mr. Po-Po?
Yes, I, uh, got an undercover sort of thing on narco.
I need me some, uh, bait.
Why you telling me?
Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot.
I'm the sheriff of this parish with a perfectly legal
and legitimate need for vampire blood.
Whoa, now.
I gave my shit to those Deliverance extras
over at Hot Shot,
and it damn near cost my life.
You can check as many orifices as you like.
I'm clean. And I'm your Aunt Fanny.
JASON: Andy. Hey, Andy. Don't fuck with me.
I know you're slinging. Give it.
Whoa, Andy. Take it down.
This man is not a suspect, he's not a person of interest,
he is not a witness, and he is not a CI.
Right.
So we got no reason to be questioning him.
Right. Right.
Sorry.
Must have got my drag queens mixed up.
Hey, look.
I'm not saying anything happened just now,
but if something did happen,
it didn't happen.
Okay?
MAXINE: Ow! Shitfire.
I have told you, Sam Merlotte, people of all kinds need to eat.
Don't even have the decency
to make the front door handicap accessible.
Biscuits.
Yes, ma'am.
You gonna be comfy, hon? You want a tushy cushion?
It's okay. I just want to be treated like everybody else.
Extra gravy for you.
And two teas. Three sugars for me.
Splenda. How's that leg today, Tommy?
Beats a sharp stick in the eye. Heh, heh.
Heh, heh.
MAXINE: Tommy, you wanna? Oh.
Bless us, Lord, for these gifts we're about to receive
and for those gifts you've bestowed upon us.
Amen. Amen.
Mm. Mm. Mm.
Super good today, Sam. Thanks.
How's that physical therapy I'm paying for?
Could use a couple more months.
How's that anger management class?
Might need to go more often.
(R&B MUSIC PLAYING)

(CELL PHONE BEEPING)
Shit.
Switch it off.
Babe, what's wrong? It's, uh...
from my dad.
My grandma passed.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
He texted that to you?
Yeah, they're not the best communicators.
Do you need to go home for the funeral?
You know what? I'll probably just send flowers.
You sure? Toni, your family would want you in Atlanta.
No.
I think I'm better off here.
Sid Matt, poor thing.
He's been in and out of the hospital,
nine, ten months now.
He tells me, "Portia, the firm's all yours."
But I think people still like to see his name
on the cards and signs.
Is the cappuccino okay?
It's in the ballpark.
I had to improvise. No one's ever ordered a cappuccino here.
So I tracked down your buyer, AIK.
Turns out their address is a P.O. box in the Caribbean.
Phone number is an answering service.
I can keep on it. May take some time.
You know my hourly rate.
I'm sure someone with your skill can do it in half the time.
They must have put around
50,000 worth of improvements into that house.
They'd at least want to be compensated for that.
Can't we negotiate some kind of settlement, a payment plan?
I'll get a hold of someone at AIK.
Maybe we can appeal to their sense of compassion.
Thank you.
There's a lifetime of memories in that house for me.
PORTIA: A lifetime of misery and murder.
Oh, poor girl.
Plus those nights banging Bill Compton.
Must've been crazy for him, doing his vampire business.
Wonder if she'll go crawling back.
He hardly mentions her at all.
Bill okay? I'm sorry, excuse me?
Can I send you a bill?
Oh, yeah. Sure, of course.
(TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING)
Hey. Name's Matt.
Jessica.
Nice to meet you.
And I was thinking that you were way too beautiful
to be alone here tonight.
And I figured, couldn't hurt to ask.
Actually, uh, I'm here with my boyfriend.
Sorry. It's my loss.
It's O-neg with a twist of B-five.
You dance with a drink in your hand?
Sorry I lost my temper with you.
I know.
I'm sorry too.
HOYT: You glad we came? I know it's been a while.
Yeah, I'm just... I'm just gonna go touch myself up.
I'll be right back.
(DOOR RAPS)
PAM: Toilets are for humans only. Do I need to explain why?
Sorry, I just...
I needed a minute.
It's been ages.
Not a letter, a telegram, a smoke signal.
We've been worried sick about you.
Really? Not really.
Well, I'm fine. Me and Hoyt, we moved in together.
That tree with the plaid shirt, it has a name?
Well, he seems sweet and all,
if you're into that sort of thing,
but if you're making him bring you here,
I've got a hunch it's not enough.
Well, it was his idea.
You know, like a date night.
Mm. The way you're eye-fucking fangbangers
from across the room, that's especially romantic.
You have no reason to feel guilty. You're a hunter.
You've never been on your own.
You live with a human monogamously.
Sorry. It's just so ridiculous.
Don't you think if all I wanted to do was kill and fuck
that I'd be out there doing it right now?
Look, I don't even know what you saw or what you think you saw,
but when I go home tonight,
I'm going home with the man I love
and I'm just sorry that you never had that.
But you know what gets me the angriest?
EMORY: What's that? I thought I had it licked.
I finally cleaned out Tommy's apartment.
Good for you. Oh, well, that's great.
No. It brought it all back.
The sick feeling.
Because I knew it was wrong even before I pulled the trigger.
It was like some other person fired that gun,
and there was nothing I could do to stop him.
Oh, yeah. I've been there. Me too.
All of us.
SUZANNE: Yeah, luckily, I didn't have a gun at the time,
or I'd have been a widow a long time ago.
It's primal, Sam.
We wouldn't be who we are if we didn't get emotional.
You can measure the cortisol levels in your blood.
I bet we're all just naturally higher.
You know what helps the cortisol levels in my blood?
Getting drunk with y'all.
Well, hell. Let's crack open another one.
Let's crack one open.
Oh, I am near to pickled as it is.
You in, Luna? I gotta teach tomorrow.
Gotta teach? EMORY: It's public education.
Who's gonna know the difference?
Emory, no politics.
I will break out in hives. All right, all right.
So we ready to move on from wine, then?
I am. Yes.
Let's hit it. Let's hit it.
Can I get unzipped, please? EMORY: My pleasure.
SUZANNE: Thank you.
I have been looking forward to this.
(CHUCKLING)
Don't need these.
(WHINNYING)
BOY 1: He's here.
It's Mr. Jason.
BOY 2: Food's here. Hey, y'all. Soup's on.
(KIDS CHEER)
BOY 3: Y'all come on. JASON: Hey, Timbo.
Hey, Becky. BOY 1: What do you have?
JASON: I did good this time. BOY 2: Can I have some?
Hot dogs, pork and beans
and ice cream. Ice cream.
You know what we do? We save this for later, yeah.
Timbo, go put that in the ice box.
BOY 3: Give me some.
Oh, hey, hey. Don't open it.
BOY 4: Can I have some? BOY 2: Let me have it.
How you doing? Come on over here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
At least let me put it on the stove.
You gonna get sick if you eat raw meat.
We ain't never got sick before.
You want the rest of my hangubber?
Yeah.
God, we really need to get your Aunt Crystal back here ASAP.
Y'all could use a mama, and I could use a break.
Did you talk to Aunt Crystal? Not yet.
I can think of one or two things I'd like to tell her when I do.
BOY 2: Let me have some of that. Dude.
Hey, Mr. Jason.
The ice box ain't cold or nothing.
Well, are you sure? Because I just fixed...
Come on.
Oh, shoot. You left it open?
Yeah, well, that's our air conditioning.
No wonder you busted it.
Now I'm gonna have to replace the cooling element.
Ahh!
Oh, fuck.
Wait. Timbo, what the...? Hey.
I'm gonna suffocate in here.
Come on.
Minerva was much more than a pet to me.
She was my friend, my companion,
my familiar.
I was wondering why she stopped eating.
Now I realize it was her way of telling me
that she had more work to do in the spirit world.
I've, uh, looked up a ritual
to ease her passage there.
Would you all join me for Minerva?
Guardians of life,
shadows of death, we summon ye.
GROUP: Guardians of life, shadows of death, we summon ye.
Guide Minerva from our realm to yours.
GROUP: Guide Minerva from our realm to yours.
Guardians of life, shadows of death,
we summon ye.
GROUP: Guardians of life, shadows of death, we summon ye.
Guide Minerva from our realm to yours.
GROUP: Guide Minerva from our realm to yours.
Restore within her the spirit of life.
(MARNIE SPEAKS IN LATIN)
And return her to the plane of the living.
Uh, Marnie.
Restore within her the spirit of life.
(SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
And return her to the plane of the living.
Marnie, we haven't studied this.
You.
Join.
(GROUP GASPS)
(SPEAKING IN LATIN)
(SQUAWKS)
Um, I'm sorry after all that trouble, your bird's still dead.
It doesn't matter.
The king is expecting me.
Gate Two. Miss Pelham is at Garden One on foot towards you.
MAN: Copy that. I have eyes on.
Your Majesty.
BILL: Good evening, Miss Pelham.
Please, sit anywhere.
What the hell?
Excuse me.
Mm.
Such a strange sensation when the reality matches
what you've pictured in your mind so precisely.
Is this another dream?
It's been a year. How much of your blood is left in me?
Oh, it's not a dream, I assure you.
Then how are you here? I rescinded your invitation.
You don't own the house anymore.
I do.
Why would you do that? Why would you buy my house?
Because I always knew you were alive,
and if I owned the house,
well, then I would own you.
Sookie...
you are mine.
