True Blood2008

Bill Compton:
[after Malcolm and his gang have left] I'm sorry you had to witness that. Your visit was unexpected.

Sookie Stackhouse:
What's hep D?

Bill Compton:
Hepatitis D is the only blood born pathogen to which we are subseptible. Malcolm must be furious.

Sookie Stackhouse:
Hepatitis?

Bill Compton:
A mutation. Relatively harmless to humans, oddly enough.

Sookie Stackhouse:
I've never even heard of it?

Bill Compton:
That's because we've kept it out of the media.

Sookie Stackhouse:
And it makes you sick for a year?

Bill Compton:
No. Just makes us weak for about a month or so. The biggest danger to us from hep D is being captured and staked during that time.

Sookie Stackhouse:
Yeah. You don't want your weaknesses to be public knowledge.

Bill Compton:
Precisely.

Sookie Stackhouse:
And what the hell did you mean, "Sookie is mine"?

Bill Compton:
I was communicating to the others that you were my human and therefore I was the only one who can feed on you.

Sookie Stackhouse:
[furious] You most certainly can not feed on me!

Bill Compton:
Well of course I can't, Sookie. But had they known that, they'd have considered you fair game. And I wouldn't have been able to stop them from attacking you. It would be three against one. And Malcolm is much older than I am and quite strong.

Sookie Stackhouse:
And... you and Diane dated?

Bill Compton:
We had sex once, just after she was made vampire back in the late 1930's.

Sookie Stackhouse:
[sickened] What? Gross. Bill, she so- Th-they're all so mean, so...

Bill Compton:
Evil. Yes, they are. They share a nest and when vampires live in nests, they become more cruel, more vicious. They become laws unto themselves. Whereas vampires such as I, who live alone are much more likely to hang on to some semblance of our former humanity.
