- Caroline Forbes: [re Damon] Actually, I was going to say that I think it's great how he's been there for you when it mattered. You know, through thick and thin, and the good times and bad times. Maybe I haven't given him enough credit.
- Elena Gilbert: You're clearly malnourished.
- [they both laugh]
- Stefan Salvatore: Hey, I didn't know which ones to get, so I got both.
- [holds up two sets of Christmas lights]
- Caroline Forbes: [annoyed] What are you doing here?
- Stefan Salvatore: Your Mom needed Christmas lights.
- Sheriff Liz Forbes: You have a huge dorm, and I thought we could use an extra set of hands.
- Caroline Forbes: [glares at Stefan, he holds up the Christmas lights as if to pacify her, she frowns] The little ones, obviously.
- Elena Gilbert: [happier times Christmas of a few years back] Well, maybe you'll meet a cute surfer.
- Bonnie Bennett: Doubtful. My Dad's conference is two hours away from any beach.
- Caroline Forbes: [overheard] Cute surfer? Where?
- Stefan Salvatore: [Christmas decorations] Here, I got it.
- [grunts]
- Caroline Forbes: What are you doing here?
- Stefan Salvatore: Well, your Mom asked me for help.
- Caroline Forbes: No, Stefan, what are you doing here? 'Cause if you think hanging a few strands of light is gonna make me forget what a crappy friend you've been, then you thought wrong.
- Stefan Salvatore: Caroline, I'm trying, okay?
- Caroline Forbes: You're trying? No, this is the easy part, okay? We're hanging Christmas lights. Anyone can be friends when they're hanging Christmas lights.
- Tyler Lockwood: Bottom line, we need to keep Kai alive.
- Luke Parker: You think I'm going to protect the guy who chased us around the house with a baseball bat when we were four?
- Liv Parker: Luke's right, Tyler, you're on some serious crack.
- Liv Parker: Luke, we don't have to do this. We have a chance to live out normal human lives. We can actually be happy.
- Liv Parker: Luke's all I've got. If we merge and he dies...
- [shakes her head]
- Liv Parker: I might as well be dead too.
