- Elena Gilbert: Stefan never mentioned he had a brother.
- Damon Salvatore: Well, Stefan isn't one to brag.
- Stefan Salvatore: How long was Elena here?
- Damon Salvatore: Were you worried, Stefan? Afraid we might be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game "I'm a high school human"?
- Damon Salvatore: You have two choices. You can feed, and make her forget, or you can let her run screaming "Vampire!" through the town square.
- Stefan Salvatore: That's what this is about? You wanna expose me?
- Damon Salvatore: No! I want you to remember who you are!
- Stefan Salvatore: Why? So what, so I'll feed, so I'll kill, so I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again? You know what, let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls, let them chain me up and drive a stake through my heart, 'cause then at least I'll be free of you.
- Jeremy Gilbert: [Aunt Jenna throws an apple at the back of Jeremy's head] Ow! Why, why did you do that?
- Jenna Sommers: Listen up! Quit ditching class or you're grounded, no discussion.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Parental authority, I like it. Sleep tight.
- Elena Gilbert: [Walking past Jeremy's room] Jere?
- Jenna Sommers: Nope, it's me, the hypocrite patrol.
- Elena Gilbert: What are you doing?
- Jenna Sommers: I've become my worst nightmare, the authority figure, who has to violate a 15 year old's privacy.
- [She finds Jeremy's pipe]
- Jenna Sommers: Jackpot!
- Damon Salvatore: It's good to be home. I think I might stay awhile. This town could use a bit of a wake up call, don't you think?
- Stefan Salvatore: What are you up to, Damon?
- Damon Salvatore: That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot.
- Elena Gilbert: I went home tonight planning to write in my diary, which I've done every day since my mother gave me one when I was 10. It's where I get everything out and it all goes in this one little book, which I keep on the 2nd shelf behind this really hideous ceramic mermaid. Then I realized I would only be writing things I should probably be telling you.
- Stefan Salvatore: What would you write?
- Elena Gilbert: I would write, Dear Diary, Today I convinced myself it's ok to give up. Stick with the status quo, now just isn't the time. But my reasons aren't reasons, they're excuses and the truth is, I'm scared Stefan. I'm scared that if I let myself be happy for one minute, that the my world's going to come crashing down and I don't know if I'll be able to survive that.
- Stefan Salvatore: Do you want to know what I would write? I met a girl, we talked and it was epic. Then the sun came up and reality set in. Well, this is reality, right here.
- [Stefan kisses Elena]
- Elena Gilbert: It's Ok Stefan, I get it. You have no idea how much i get it. Complicated brother? Check. Complicated ex? Check. Too complicated to even contemplate dating? Check. We met and we talked and it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set in.
- Elena Gilbert: I'm... I'm sorry for barging in. The door was...
- [she looks, it's closed]
- Elena Gilbert: open.
- Damon Salvatore: You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother.
- Elena Gilbert: He didn't tell me he had a brother.
- Damon Salvatore: Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please. Come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second.
- Elena Gilbert: [entering majestic room] Wow, this is your living room?
- Damon Salvatore: Living room, parlor, Sotheby's auction. It's a little kitschy for my taste.
- Bonnie Bennett: I was talking to Gram, and she said that the comet is a sign of impending doom. The last time it pasted over Mystic Falls there was lots of death, so much blood and carnage it created a bed of paranormal activity.
- Caroline Forbes: Yeah, then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens.
- Damon Salvatore: [to Stefan] We both know that the closest you'll come to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it.
- Elena Gilbert: Timing is wrong anyway.
- Bonnie Bennett: When is it ever right?
- Elena Gilbert: I'm not ready, Bonnie.
- Bonnie Bennett: Who is?
- Elena Gilbert: At least I put myself out there.
- Bonnie Bennett: Is that what your calling it?
- Elena Gilbert: What do you mean?
- Bonnie Bennett: All I'm hearing is reasons why you can't.
- Vicki Donovan: I don't want anyone to find out about us.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Well, you gotta get over that.
- Vicki Donovan: Tyler's finally starting to show some interest.
- Jeremy Gilbert: You gotta get over that too! I mean, do you see Mr. Concern?
- [pretends to look under bed]
- Jeremy Gilbert: Hello? Tyler, you under there? No.
- Vicki Donovan: It's not cool for people to know. I'm older than you. Matt and Elena would freak.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Why wouldn't I be concerned about you? I was the one who found you.
- Vicki Donovan: You were?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Yeah, I carried you out of the woods.
- Vicki Donovan: Thank you.
- Caroline Forbes: No, I was hoping I would see you again.
- Damon Salvatore: I know.
- Caroline Forbes: Cocky much?
- Damon Salvatore: Very much.
- [first lines]
- Girl: [in a tent, to the tune of I Tremble, Tremble, Tremble, You're Gonna Eat Me Alive, two young lovers kiss] Do you hear that?
- Guy: Hear what?
- Girl: Thunder.
- Guy: There's no thunder.
- Girl: Are you sure? Because if it rains... then we won't be able to see the comet.
- Guy: It's not gonna rain. I... got you a little something. It's back in the car. Don't you move.
- Girl: Mm.
- Guy: Keep quiet.
- Girl: Stay dry.
- Guy: It's not gonna rain.
- [goes out the tent]
- Girl: [sighs] Mm.
- [hears pattering on top of the tent, chuckles:]
- Girl: I knew it!
- [goes out the tent]
- Girl: I told you it was gonna rain!
- [but then realizes it's not raining outside at all, and that it is blood that's dripping down onto the top of the pup tent]
- Caroline Forbes: [as Vicki gets tended by Matt] Ugh, so much drama. Ever noticed how druggies are the biggest attention-whores?
- Matt Donovan: Vick, what attacked you in the woods?
- Vicki Donovan: An animal. What else could it have been?
- Jenna Sommers: You and Stefan talked all night? There was no sloppy first kiss or touching of any kind?
