- Damon Salvatore: [re Elena's lack of communication] Texting. One time. "Wanna be my plus-one at a costume ball? Winky face."
- Elena Gilbert: And you never replied. I'm guessing this special in-person visit means yes?
- Damon Salvatore: Definitely will maybe consider thinking about it.
- Caroline Forbes: [pillow talk] Oh, before I forget. I talked to your registrar, and your major is... drumroll... Sociology!
- Tyler Lockwood: How about we not talk about my major right now?
- [kisses her]
- Caroline Forbes: And I compelled you a single.
- Tyler Lockwood: Definitely do not want to talk about my dorm room.
- Caroline Forbes: [sits upright] Or we could talk about the hybrid-sized jerk that you've been for not calling me back... ever.
- Tyler Lockwood: How many times do you want me to tell you? I've been helping a werewolf pack in the land of no cell-phone reception.
- Caroline Forbes: Lucky for you I figured out a way for you to make up for it.
- Tyler Lockwood: I thought I did make up for it. A couple dozen times.
- [she giggles as he kisses her again]
- Caroline Forbes: You are escorting me to the Whitmore Historical Ball.
- Tyler Lockwood: The what?
- Caroline Forbes: It's the one time a year when they set their whole collection on display, and everyone dresses up as famous historical figures. I got Stefan a costume, even he's going. Come on, Tyler! I mean, how cute will we be as Bonnie and Clyde?
- Tyler Lockwood: [scoffs] Seriously?
- Caroline Forbes: You're right. Let's not talk.
- [more passionate romance]
- Nadia: [on cell-phone] Cut to the chase, Silas. What do you want?
- Silas: I want Katherine Pierce. What do you think I want?
- Nadia: So do I. Which is why I took her away from you. You can have your brown-eyed bitch of a cure for immortality... when I'm done.
- Silas: But you've had her all night long. So how much longer do you need?
- Nadia: Aren't you immortal? What's a few more hours to you?
- Silas: Here's the thing, Nadia. I don't care about what you need. I only care about what I need. I'm a little selfish like that.
- Nadia: Then why don't you mind-control a whole town of people and find out where I'm holding her? Right. You can't.
- Silas: I'm very well aware of my current superpower predicament... thank you very much. And even though my brain is on the fritz, thanks to an ex-fiancée stalker witch who can't seem to take a hint... it doesn't mean that I'm not still brilliant and crafty and becoming rapidly well-versed in the power of cell-phone tracking.
- Katherine Pierce: A little tip, woman to woman. Don't piss off the diabolical ones.
- [refregirator is empty]
- Katherine Pierce: And if you're gonna hold me hostage, the least you can do is feed me properly.
- Nadia: We'll eat lunch on the road. Let's get out of here.
- Katherine Pierce: Or hand me over. Let him take his little sip of my blood so that he can cure his immortality, and we can all be on our merry way
- [dripping with irony:]
- Katherine Pierce: to finer accommodations.
- Nadia: [returning sarcasm] A little tip, woman to woman. Don't offer to hand yourself over to the diabolical ones when you don't know the whole story.
- Katherine Pierce: Indulge me. What's the whole story?
- Nadia: Silas needs more than just a sip to cure himself.
- [savoring telling her this:]
- Nadia: He needs every last drop in your body.
- Katherine Pierce: But I'm a human now. If he did that, then...
- Nadia: You die. Now come on. Let's go.
- Nadia: [in diner] I've been tailing you for five hundred years. There are a few things I'd like to clear up.
- Katherine Pierce: Why would I tell you anything?
- Nadia: You indulge me in some answers... and I will let you go.
- Katherine Pierce: Really? My freedom in exchange for a little Q and A?
- [chuckles]
- Katherine Pierce: Okay.
- Nadia: In 1864 there was a vampire roundup in Mystic Falls.
- Katherine Pierce: Was there? I'm bad with dates.
- Nadia: Word on the street is you sold out many vampires, including your best friend Pearl and her daughter Annabelle.
- Katherine Pierce: I was running from Klaus. I needed to jet solo. I threw a couple vampire names on the hit list.
- [throws down spoon]
- Katherine Pierce: Sue me. I also impersonated a teenager to get my ex-boyfriend to make out with me, staged a fake fight to trigger my lover's werewolf curse... Ooh, and I chopped off this douchey guy's fingers with a butcher knife once. That was cool.
- Nadia: What about ripping a mother away from her daughter, having her killed for your own benefit?
- Katherine Pierce: What are you getting at?
- Nadia: Know a little bit about me. I had myself turned into a vampire to hunt you. To even the playing field. To track your every move for however long it took until I found you. And I did this... because you killed my mother. It happened in Paris. 1645.
- Katherine Pierce: I go to Paris for shoes. The shoes I remember. Everything else requires a few more details.
- Nadia: Her name was Lily Otama. You were on the run from Klaus. She took you in. But when his minions showed up, you pointed at my mom and said "That is Katarina Petrova. She is the one you want." So they took her away.
- Katherine Pierce: You were never gonna let me go, were you?
- Nadia: No, but I'd hate for you to die on an empty stomach.
- [Katherine sighs]
- Nadia: Time to go.
- Tyler Lockwood: Hey.
- Caroline Forbes: [softly] Hey.
- Tyler Lockwood: Care...
- Caroline Forbes: Wait. I've been thinking about it. And I've decided that I'm not gonna have this conversation again. I can't just sit here while I'm waiting for you to come back.
- Tyler Lockwood: I don't want that either.
- Caroline Forbes: Then stay. Be the love of my life. Just love me more than you hate him.
- Tyler Lockwood: I'm sorry, Care. I can't do that.
- Caroline Forbes: No. No, no, don't you dare walk away from me. I swear to God, if you take one more step, we're done. Okay, no more surprises. No more excuses. No more chances. We are done.
- [he hesitates, then he's out the door]
- [last lines]
- Elena Gilbert: [Katherine's heart is still beating] You gotta be kidding me.
- Damon Salvatore: Takes a licking, keeps on ticking.
- Katherine Pierce: [comes to] Am I in hell?
