True Blood, Season 2

Eric:
Why should I help you... shifter?

Sam:
Because I need your help. We need it. And hopefully some day I might be able to give you something you need.

Eric:
Can you give me Sookie Stackhouse?

Sam:
No.

Eric:
Well that's a shame. That would be a tribute I would not soon forget.

Sam:
[irate] I'm not here to give you tribute, Eric.

Eric:
No, you're here to request my help based on a hypothetical future in which you return the favor... But you are known not to be to friendly towards those like me. Why should I trust you?

Sam:
Because until somebody starts trusting somebody, we're all single targets just ripe for the picking.
