- Stefan Salvatore: [to Damon, in a mocking tone] I'm really sorry that it won't be of any help with your diabolical plan: the sequel.
- Bonnie Bennett: You just found out your boyfriend is a... vampire, so unless your birth parents are aliens, how bad could it be?
- Bonnie Bennett: What's Damon doing here?
- Elena Gilbert: He wanted to come. I promise, he'll behave.
- Caroline Forbes: So what, is this like a threesome now? You and the Salvatore brothers?
- Elena Gilbert: No, but if I'm gonna be with Stefan, then I have to learn to tolerate Damon. It's not like I can kill him.
- Bonnie Bennett: There's a thought.
- Caroline Forbes: Mmm. I'll help.
- Stefan Salvatore: I'm talking about Atlanta.
- Damon Salvatore: Oh yeah. Elena and I had a blast!
- Stefan Salvatore: I get it, you're just bitter because one of us gets to be with the person we love and poor Katherine is just out of reach. Unless there's another way to get to the tomb. Is that what Bree said?
- Damon Salvatore: You're pathetic when your fishing.
- Stefan Salvatore: And you're transparent when you're deflecting.
- Damon Salvatore: [annoyed] Don't you have school?
- Damon Salvatore: I think we need a fresh start.
- Bonnie Bennett: You tried to kill me.
- Damon Salvatore: But I didn't. And if I wanted to I would have. Does that not count for anything?
- Bonnie Bennett: You know I can start fires with my mind. Fires kill vampires, right? Just stay the hell away from me!
- Stefan Salvatore: He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night.
- Damon Salvatore: Well, he gets points for that. Did he say what he wanted?
- Elena Gilbert: No. He was too busy trying to kill me.
- Stefan Salvatore: [to Damon] And you have... no idea who this is?
- Damon Salvatore: No.
- [Stefan nods skeptically]
- Damon Salvatore: Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company.
- Elena Gilbert: You think there's more than one?
- Damon Salvatore: We don't know.
- Stefan Salvatore: Damon... He was invited in.
- Damon Salvatore: [nods] Then we go get him tonight.
- [to Elena:]
- Damon Salvatore: You up for it?
- Elena Gilbert: What do I have to do?
- Damon Salvatore: Let your boyfriend take you to the dance. We'll... see who shows up.
- Stefan Salvatore: It's a bad idea.
- Damon Salvatore: Till we get him, this house isn't safe. For anyone who lives in it. It's worth a shot.
- Elena Gilbert: I'll do it.
- [they share looks, and she places her hand over Stefan's]
- Elena Gilbert: I'll be with the two of you, I'll be safe.
- Elena Gilbert: Why me? What does he want with me? And... and if he's trying to kill me, why call first?
- Stefan Salvatore: It's because we're predators, Elena. We hunt. We stalk. It's often as exciting as the kill.
- Elena Gilbert: [after they slew the hoodlum vampire] How are you gonna find the others now?
- Damon Salvatore: He had to die.
- Elena Gilbert: Ugh.
- Stefan Salvatore: Elena... He was invited in.
- Anna: Hey, um... do, do you wanna do something later, maybe?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Oh, sorry, I'm stuck on punch duty at the school dance.
- Anna: Oh. How'd you get stuck with that?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Well, I'm failing English, so I copped a plea.
- Anna: So maybe, you know, tomorrow or something?
- [as he hesitates:]
- Anna: I'm being pushy again, aren't I?
- Matt Donovan: [painting banner for the dance] I've never seen you such a mess.
- Caroline Forbes: [giggly] Don't talk smack.
- [dabs him with paintbrush]
- Matt Donovan: [playfully aiming at her face as she reels back laughing] I mean, I just thought you told everyone else what to do.
- Caroline Forbes: Well, I do that too. But if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.
- [smiles as she looks at him]
- Caroline Forbes: You know, I just like that we're hanging out. Who knew, you and me?
- Matt Donovan: Well, who knew you could be fun?
- [snickers]
- Caroline Forbes: [laughs] So, what should we wear to this dumb dance anyway? Should we... color-coordinate?
- Matt Donovan: Uh... I'm not going.
- Caroline Forbes: Why not?
- Matt Donovan: Got work. Bussing tables at the Grill.
- Caroline Forbes: [flippantly] Since when are you a busboy?
- Matt Donovan: It's a job. You know, some of us have to work, Caroline. With my Mom in and out, things are tight, so... well...
- Caroline Forbes: I didn't mean it like that, I just... meant that I didn't know you had a job.
