True Blood2008

Bill Compton:
Long Shadow was choking the girl and would have killed her.

Magister:
So you murdered a higher life form for the sake of your pet! You broke an acient and fundimental law. You decreased our numbers at a critical time in our history. Very bad. Very, very bad.

Bill Compton:
Magister, Long Shadow broke the law first. She was mine and he knew it. He would have killed her and fed from her!

Magister:
[displeased] Hello! Human! Irrelevant. Happens every day!

Bill Compton:
He was stealing from Eric.

Magister:
Sheriff?

Eric Northman:
Yes, Magister. It's true. Long Shadow was a thief and a liar. He was hurting my business.

Magister:
[considering] The business part, that is a serious offense.

Bill Compton:
And it was the human who exposed Long Shadow. Would you tell him, Eric?

Eric Northman:
The only reason the girl was there was because I called her.

Bill Compton:
To protect your wealth!

Eric Northman:
To protect my wealth, yes. Magister, she is... valuable.

Magister:
Humans exist to serve us. That is their only value.

Bill Compton:
There are those among us who think differently.

Magister:
[challenging] Do you question my authority? I am the magister. I was trained in the Inquisition and I am the adjudicator for every vampire territory in North America! As the humans say, the humans you love more than your own kind, back your sh*t down!

Eric Northman:
[warningly] Bill.

Magister:
Well, you haven't bored me. That works in your favor. And you seem to be obedient to your sheriff.

Eric Northman:
For the most part... When it matters, yes he is.

Magister:
The usual sentence is five years in a coffin, chained with silver. During which time your body will waste to leather and sticks. You'll probably go insane. However, I'm feeling a bit... creative.
