Quotes 

• Damon Salvatore : [walks in on Elena weight-training]  What? You gonna bench-press a vampire?

  Elena Gilbert : You understand what's happening right here? Stefan called me a human blood bag. He's a completely different person.

  [grunts, and Damon assists unrequited] 

  Elena Gilbert : What are you doing?

  Damon Salvatore : Helping you out.

  Elena Gilbert : Damon!

  Damon Salvatore : Come on, Buffy.

  Elena Gilbert : Stop it. Like one obnoxious Salvatore isn't bad enough.

  Damon Salvatore : You called, I'm here. What's your wish, oh, Warrior Princess?

  [mimics stake at the ready] 

• Elena Gilbert : I'm trying to keep Bonnie out of this. I don't trust that Stefan won't hurt her. Caroline, are you covered?

  Caroline Forbes : Yes, I will make sure that the old Forbes jail cell is prepped and ready.

  Damon Salvatore : You're forgetting a key player here. Rebekah. Wherever Stefan goes, a blond ponytail tends to follow.

  Elena Gilbert : Which is why it is your job to keep her away.

  Damon Salvatore : How? She's an Original. Last time I checked, we're out of daggers.

  Elena Gilbert : So then preoccupy her with your charm.

  Alaric Saltzman : Might have better luck finding a dagger.

  [Caroline giggles] 

• Elena Gilbert : But you think I'm crazy to believe that I can protect myself from a vampire who's flipped the switch on his humanity?

  Alaric Saltzman : I think you found a way to get out of bed this morning. And that makes you the strongest person I know. I think that you can do...

  [shrugs] 

  Alaric Saltzman : pretty much anything.

• Katherine Pierce : [next to open crypt, on cell to Damon]  He's a little bit out of commission. He won't eat.

  [tosses live mouse onto the mummified corpse] 

  Katherine Pierce : And I've tried everything. Grave-diggers, mourners, mice, rats, bats. He's just... not interested.

• Katherine Pierce : [sighs]  You're not scary for a... bad-ass vampire vampire-hunter.

• Caroline Forbes : Here we are. Senior year.

  Bonnie Bennett : Does anyone else think this should feel slightly more empowering?

  Caroline Forbes : Okay, so prank night was a bust. But we are accepting it and we're moving on!

  Bonnie Bennett : You're right. I mean, why should I let the fact that my boyfriend is seeing the ghosts of his dead girlfriends hinder this experience?

  Caroline Forbes : Yes. And why should I let the fact that my boyfriend was turned into a hybrid put a damper on an otherwise... fabulous day?

  Elena Gilbert : Today's our anniversary. Technically,

  [sighs] 

  Elena Gilbert : Stefan and I met on the first day of school last year.

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, you win.

  Bonnie Bennett : [to Elena]  Are you sure you wanna be here?

  Elena Gilbert : I have to be here. I have to put it behind me. New year, new life.

  [sighs, walks on purposefully] 

  Bonnie Bennett : [to Caroline]  Yeah.

  [she smiles, they follow]
