TEXT: Scene 1: Russell's mansion - Russell, Talbot, Bill, Lorena, Sookie, Eric Russell: Well, guess who turned out to be completely unworthy of our trust. Talbot: No. Russell: Hm. Lorena: Why? What's happened? Russell: He's been hiding something very interesting from us all. Bill kills the guard and tries to kill Russell but the king is stronger than him. Sookie: Bill! Russell: Are you serious? I am almost 3000 years old. Bill: Eric, get her out of here, please. Sookie: Eric, what are you doing? Eric: I wouldn't let go of this if I were you. I don't know what it is, but I do know it's quite valuable. Credit Sookie: Eric, what the f*ck? Eric: I've not had the pleasure of tasting it, but all my instincts say it would be quite extraordinary. Sookie: I will never, ever forgive you for this. Eric: Mm. It thinks we're equals. Russell: Oh, but it's wrong. Isn't it? Eric: Indeed. Talbot: Do you care nothing about our home? Russell: Talbot, not now. Talbot: When? Lorena: What are you going to do with our Mr. Compton, if I may ask? Russell: Marco, Klaus, take Mr. Compton to the slave quarters. There, my dear, you will kill him. Sookie: No! Lorena: But what's...? Russell: Do not defy me! I am your king! Eric: Your Majesty. Russell: Take Miss Stackhouse into the library, Eric. I wanna ask her a few questions after I repair the state of affairs of my marriage. Russell leaves. Sookie: Bill, I will get you out of here. Bill: Eric, you save her, I beg you. They take Bill. Sookie: If you do kill him... I will kill you. Lorena: Oh, please. Please try. Without that sanctimonious little prick, Godric, to save you, I would just love to rip you open and wear your rib cage as a hat.
