- Caroline Forbes: Do you understand the rules?
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: Yeah. Rule one: Don't mention Elena was madly in love with Damon, or you'll kill me.
- Caroline Forbes: Mm-hmm.
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: Rule two: Don't really reference Damon at all, or you'll kill me.
- Caroline Forbes: Yup.
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: Rule three: Wear sunscreen...
- Caroline Forbes: Don't make fun of me. It's important that we let Elena live her new, happy, problem-ignoring zombie life the way she wants.
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: That sounds oddly supportive and judgmental.
- Caroline Forbes: I support her. She did what she needed to do to stop chomping on innocent people on the road. It doesn't mean that I'm enjoying marinating all alone in my misery.
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: Well, I'll marinate with you.
- Caroline Forbes: I appreciate it. Really, I do.
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: But I'm not Stefan.
- Caroline Forbes: Rule number four: Don't ever mention that jerk's name again, or...
- Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John: Or you'll kill me. Got it.
- Caroline Forbes: Mm-hmm.
- Elena Gilbert: [enters their dorm room] So, I, uh, volunteer at the hospital until, like, 2, and then I figure we can carpool to the party at the swimming hole.
- [notices Caroline is packing]
- Elena Gilbert: Um, normally when you move back in, you unpack.
- Caroline Forbes: I'm not staying. Last night was just a momentary... moment of weakness.
- Elena Gilbert: Momentary moment? Are you sure you don't wanna come back to school?
- [Caroline makes a face]
- Elena Gilbert: Caroline, needing your friends isn't a weakness... momentary or otherwise.
- Caroline Forbes: [slams suitcase shut] Tell that to Stefan, who clearly needs no one.
- Elena Gilbert: Cut him some slack. He lost his brother. Granted, said brother was a soulless homicidal maniac, but still... What?
- Caroline Forbes: Nothing. I just... I gotta go. I've got breakfast with Enzo.
- Elena Gilbert: Enzo?
- Caroline Forbes: Mm-hmm.
- Elena Gilbert: You guys go on one road trip, and all of a sudden you're breakfast buddies?
- Caroline Forbes: [chuckles] Yeah, I guess so. Ironically, he's recently become one of the more stable people in my life.
- Elena Gilbert: Okay. Then invite him to the party.
- Caroline Forbes: Ugh. Elena...
- Elena Gilbert: I got Matt to take the afternoon off from his training, and Tyler to give the practice squad a break. Even Jeremy's coming. It's been forever since we've all been together. It will be fun...
- [her friend scoffs, and she wags a finger at her:]
- Elena Gilbert: Don't make me invoke the nuclear option. Cause I will selfie-bomb you. Every five minutes.
- Caroline Forbes: [chuckles] Okay, fine. I'll... go to the party.
- Elena Gilbert: Yay...!
- Caroline Forbes: But I'm not moving back in.
- Elena Gilbert: That is a conversation to be held over Jell-O shots.
- [her friend waves nonchalantly as she saunters out the door]
- Tyler Lockwood: [in hallway, comes running up behind the twins] Hey, quick question!
- Liv Parker: Quick answer, no!
- Tyler Lockwood: Hilarious. We're having a party today. You think you can spare a keg or two from the Scull Bar?
- [adding:]
- Tyler Lockwood: You can come.
- Liv Parker: You and alcohol and my brother. Why does that combination sound so familiar and terrible?
- [to her brother:]
- Liv Parker: How is your trachea, Luke?
- Luke Parker: In fairness, he apologized.
- Tyler Lockwood: I'm working on this, okay? I watch my drinking. I avoid things that make me angry.
- Liv Parker: Come by the bar after 1, I'll see what I can do.
- Luke Parker: [as Tyler goes off] You're doing that thing again.
- Liv Parker: What thing?
- Luke Parker: Oh, the thing where you're a bitch because you like somebody. It's pretty transparent. I don't blame you. He's hot.
- Liam Davis: So, is a lake different from a swimming hole, or, uh...?
- Elena Gilbert: Swimming hole. Thanks for making me sound like a redneck. Okay, where did you party in high school?
- Liam Davis: Somebody's house. Or second house. Whichever had the biggest pool.
- [she gives him a look saying "I told you so."]
- Liam Davis: Ah. I guess I do brag.
- Elena Gilbert: Yup. Now it's my turn to brag. Because I bet nobody at your pool parties could do this.
- [slips off her dress over her head, and, in bikini, walks away grinning, then scampers up tree-trunk to swing from a rope tied to branch into the water]
- Elena Gilbert: [swam out next to where her brother is hauling in latest conquest] Uhm, Jeremy?
- Monique: Oh, my God!
- Jeremy Gilbert: Elena!
- Elena Gilbert: Sorry to interrupt what I'm sure is a heart-felt display of true love, but I'm Jeremy's sister. And we were about to have a nice little family chat.
- Monique: That's why I'm happy I'm an orphan.
- [wades out of the water]
- Elena Gilbert: [to Jeremy] You invited the girl that I attacked?
- Jeremy Gilbert: No, I brought the girl that Caroline compelled to forget you attacked. She doesn't know anything.
- Elena Gilbert: Why would you even risk it?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Because she looks good in a bikini. Can I go now?
- Caroline Forbes: [seething by herself] I thought I told Enzo to go get more ice.
- Halter Girl: Did you do it in that tone? Because I think I know why he didn't.
- Caroline Forbes: Congratulations, now it's your job.
- [hypnotic gaze:]
- Caroline Forbes: Go get ice.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Aren't we supposed to be having fun?
- Caroline Forbes: [exasperated sigh] Is that why you brought your latest fling in a series of sad attempts to pretend you don't care about Bonnie? To have fun?
- Liv Parker: [arrived with her pick-up] Because this is how I wanted to spend my Saturday night.
- [re empty kegs:]
- Liv Parker: Load them up.
- [to Matt:]
- Liv Parker: What the hell happened to your truck, anyway?
- Matt Donovan: That's a little complicated.
- Tyler Lockwood: I got this, dude. I'll see you in a bit.
- [Matt nods, goes off]
- Liv Parker: [as Tyler is about to pick up keg] Sad jocks are kind of like sad clowns.
- [chuckles]
- Liv Parker: They're pathetic... but kind of hilarious.
- [chuckles again]
- Tyler Lockwood: Not in the mood, Liv.
- Liv Parker: Uh-oh. That sounded like a threat.
- Tyler Lockwood: No, just a request.
- Liv Parker: [behind his back, casts spell, keg jumps away] Oops.
- [does so again, until he catches her out]
- Tyler Lockwood: [grabs her, snarls at her] Is that what you want? You want to see me break?
- Liv Parker: You're right. I'm sorry. It's just easier for me if you're an aggressive, unlikable dick.
- Tyler Lockwood: Why?
- Liv Parker: [sighs] So I don't have to worry about falling for you.
- Caroline Forbes: [entering dorm] So, I was just gonna leave my clothes here while we look, if that's okay.
- Elena Gilbert: Yeah. Uh, of course.
- Caroline Forbes: I also was thinking, you know, if there are vampire hunters on the loose, living alone
- [giggles]
- Caroline Forbes: right by their home base is probably not a good idea.
- Elena Gilbert: Is this... an official unpack? Because your moving methods are so confusing.
- Caroline Forbes: [laughs] Yes, this is an official unpack.
- Elena Gilbert: [overjoyed] Ah!
- Caroline Forbes: I'm sorry I got mad at you earlier. Sometimes It just... seems you have this secret way to move on.
- [pulls open drawer, takes out shirt]
- Caroline Forbes: Is this...?
- Elena Gilbert: Bonnie's? Yeah.
- [nods]
- Elena Gilbert: There you go. You just discovered my secret to moving on. Sometimes I don't.
- Caroline Forbes: [hugs shirt, sighs] I miss Bonnie. I miss Mystic Falls. I miss our old life. I miss...
- Elena Gilbert: Stefan?
- Caroline Forbes: Yes, I miss Stefan.
- Elena Gilbert: Caroline... You and Stefan. Do you have feelings for him or something?
- Caroline Forbes: [bites her lip uncertainly as she considers her response] Yeah, I think maybe I did.
- Elena Gilbert: [only gets Stefan's voicemail] Yeah. Not answering is one of his new things. He said he was here to apologize.
- Caroline Forbes: Lying. Also one of his new things. Stefan has a lot of new things.
- Elena Gilbert: [Tyler and Matt arrive] Hey! Have you guys seen Stefan?
- Matt Donovan: I didn't even know he was back.
- Tyler Lockwood: So, you wanna fill us in on what we're doing here?
- Elena Gilbert: You don't remember this place? We used to... sneak off here and got wasted while our parents were outside grilling. Granted, we all have a few less parents, but... we can still have fun.
- [offers Jell-O shots to the guys]
- Tyler Lockwood: Actually, I can't. I'm working on my rage issues, and this wouldn't help.
- Matt Donovan: My buddy's wasted, and I gotta train in the morning.
- Elena Gilbert: [chuckles] Okay, I don't wanna sound like an alcoholic, but I do want a shot. So will someone do one with me?
- Caroline Forbes: [raises her hand] Done.
- Elena Gilbert: [hands one over] Bottoms up.
- [takes one herself]
- Caroline Forbes: Mm. Well. Here we are. Having fun. I'm having fun. Aren't we having fun? This is really fun.
- Elena Gilbert: Okay. Clearly this was a big mistake. I just... wanted to... spend one afternoon where we pretended for just one second that we're not... all drifting apart.
- Caroline Forbes: Well, that's the problem, Elena. Not all of us are okay with pretending. Some of us prefer to face our problems head-on.
