Alexander Skarsgård: Eric Northman

You Smell Like Dinner

Eric Northman

Eric Northman: Your blood tastes like freedom, Sookie. Like sunshine in a pretty blond bottle. You may not know it yet, but that's what vampires smell when they smell you.

Eric Northman: 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 Stackhouse: 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 Northman: Well, that was saucy. It must've been Fairy Sookie talking. I like when she comes out.

Eric Northman: Has the AVL signed off on this?
Bill Compton: I am the king of Louisiana. I don't have to ask anyone for permission!

Bill Compton: [about the witches] They're necromancers, Eric. They brought a bird back from the dead.
Eric Northman: Are you certain of this?
Bill Compton: I had someone on the inside. I hope I don't have to impress upon you the implications of this.
Eric Northman: You do not.
Bill Compton: If they can control the dead, they can control us.
Eric Northman: I remember the Inquisition. I was around back then.

Sookie Stackhouse: Stay away from me.
Eric Northman: This is no way to treat your new landlord.
Sookie Stackhouse: I am not yours, and I want you out of my house now!
Eric Northman: Funny about ownership, isn't it? A little piece of paper, and the only power you had over me is gone.
Sookie Stackhouse: What do you want from me?
Eric Northman: Everything.
Sookie Stackhouse: You can't have it.
Eric Northman: I bought it.
Sookie Stackhouse: You bought my house. The house does not come with me inside it.
Eric Northman: Well, then, I seriously overpaid.
Sookie Stackhouse: That's your problem.

Eric Northman: Now, here's the deal, Marnie. This is the last time your coven convenes. And before you even think about agreeing and then meeting behind my back, know this. There is NO behind my back. I am everywhere.
Marnie Stonebrook: What's in it for me?
Eric Northman: I said it was a deal, not a negotiation. Lafayette, do I negotiate?
Lafayette Reynolds: I'd listen to him, Marnie. He tends to get his way.
