- Damon Salvatore: So I was right. After all that, the wall led us to Mikael.
- Elena Gilbert: It led us to more than just that. I think it got Rebekah on our side too.
- Damon Salvatore: Really? What did you learn from her?
- Elena Gilbert: I learned that she's just a girl. That... she lost her mom too young, and... she loves blindly and recklessly, even if it consumes her.
- [they look at each other, Damon frowns]
- Elena Gilbert: And when all is said and done, there is nothing more important than the bond of family.
- Damon Salvatore: [groans] You should tell that to my brother.
- Elena Gilbert: [soft snicker] I'm not mad at you for letting him out, Damon.
- [turns over, switches off bedside lamp]
- Elena Gilbert: I think that you're gonna be the one to save him from himself.
- [as she shakes her head:]
- Elena Gilbert: It won't be because he loves me. It will be because he loves you.
- [tired]
- Elena Gilbert: Can I tell you the rest tomorrow?
- Damon Salvatore: [smiles] Sure.
- [she nods, drifts off to sleep, and he lies gazing at her]
- Rebekah: I know exactly who he is. He's a vampire. We're a predatory species. We don't have time to care about humans and their silly little lives.
- Elena Gilbert: [shakes her head] Is that why you did that runway show earlier?
- [nods]
- Elena Gilbert: Because you don't
- [shakes her head]
- Elena Gilbert: care about the homecoming dance? You know what? I'm just gonna go.
- Rebekah: You haven't even heard half the story.
- Elena Gilbert: And you're not going to tell it.
- [shakes her head]
- Elena Gilbert: You're just bored and looking for someone to push around. Find someone else to play with. Maybe you can...
- [with distaste:]
- Elena Gilbert: compel yourself a friend.
- [starts leaving]
- Rebekah: The necklace wasn't Stefan's to give.
- [Elena halts, smiling to herself]
- Rebekah: It belonged to the Original Witch.
- Elena Gilbert: The one who put the hybrid curse on Klaus?
- Rebekah: Not just the hybrid curse. She's the one who turned us into vampires.
- Elena Gilbert: [on cell phone] She's going to tell me. She's scared of him, Damon. I saw her face. I have to engage in a mean girl power struggle.
- Damon Salvatore: Just make sure she doesn't power struggle you into a wheelchair.
- Damon Salvatore: [in bar] What are we drinking?
- Stefan Salvatore: Hopefully something a little warmer. A little blonder.
- [signals blonde waitress, who smiles as she comes over]
- Callie: Hi.
- Damon Salvatore: Hello...
- [peers at name-tag]
- Damon Salvatore: Callie. I would love a shot of your best whiskey, and my brother here would love a shot of
- [hypnotic gaze]
- Damon Salvatore: you.
- Elena Gilbert: Rebekah will come around.
- [sighs]
- Alaric Saltzman: You sure about that? I mean, a thousand-year-old vampire, I'm sure... has learned the art of patience.
- Elena Gilbert: She's a thousand-year-old vampire who's joined the cheerleading squad. It's a whole different set of rules in play here, Ric.
- [holds up cell phone text message]
- Elena Gilbert: I got this.
- Rebekah: I know you want him to help you kill my brother. I'm not stupid.
- Elena Gilbert: It's no secret that I want Klaus dead. He has a hold over Stefan's life. And over mine.
- Rebekah: Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own peril. But make no mistake, if you come after my brother, I will. Rip. You. Apart. And I get my temper from my father.
- [stands back]
- Rebekah: Now leave!
