True Blood, Season 1

Bill:
Longshadow 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 ancient and fundamental law. You decreased our numbers at a critical time in our history. Very bad. Very very bad.

Bill:
Longshadow broke the law first. She was mine and he knew it. He would have killed her and fed from her!

Magister:
Hello! Human! Irrelevant. Happens every day!

Bill:
He was stealing from Eric.

Magister:
[to Eric] Sheriff?

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

Magister:
The business part. That is a serious offense.

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

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

Bill:
To protect your wealth!

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

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

Bill:
There are those among us who think differently.

Magister:
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 that you love more than your own kind - back your shit down!

Eric:
Bill.

Magister:
You haven't bored me. That works in your favor and you seem to be obedient to your sheriff.

Eric:
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, and you'll probably go insane. However, I'm feeling a bit... creative.
