I Carry Your Heart with Me (2015)

Candice King: Caroline Forbes

Quotes 

• Stefan Salvatore : [Caroline appears wearing gorgeous angel outfit]  Nice costume for two hours' notice.

  Caroline Forbes : Oh, thank you.

  Stefan Salvatore : You weren't, oh, I don't know, already coming to this and just, uh, forgot to invite me?

  Caroline Forbes : I didn't forget to invite you. I just felt... like a Halloween party wasn't great first-date material.

  Stefan Salvatore : So then, this isn't our first date?

  Caroline Forbes : Well, it depends. What do you think it is?

  Stefan Salvatore : [looks at her wistfully, there is that vervain barrier between them]  Torture.

• Stefan Salvatore : [as he regards dancing couple Nora and Mary Louise]  Do you think they forgot they came here to murder people?

  Caroline Forbes : Oh, no. They're just wrapped up in their own drama. You see, Nora wants some breathing room, but Mary Louise is scared if she gives it to her, then Nora's gonna leave her.

  Stefan Salvatore : You got all that from... that?

  [pointed look at the couple that is not all that happy-looking] 

  Caroline Forbes : Well, it's obvious.

  [music goes sweetly romantic, and the duo seems to be getting along very well again] 

  Caroline Forbes : Or not.

  [cocks her head as she looks at them] 

  Stefan Salvatore : You know, I'd ask you to dance, but...

  Caroline Forbes : But I'd kill you. How convenient. If only there was a person that you could talk to about it.

  Stefan Salvatore : I will ask Valerie to undo it, once Damon brings Oscar back to life.

  Caroline Forbes : So, you're not technically avoiding, you're just waiting for Damon to raise the dead. Okay.

  Stefan Salvatore : Caroline, Valerie's been dead to me for a hundred and fifty years.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, she's back now, and you're scared that you're gonna look her in the eyes, and then all of your feelings are gonna come back. You know, the infatuation and the abandonment and the whole... freaking fairy tale.

  Stefan Salvatore : That's what I'm scared of? Or that's what... you're scared of?

  Caroline Forbes : [defensively, and more than a little bit tipsy]  It can be both.

  [sighs] 

  Caroline Forbes : You know what, I am just *too* sober to be talking about this.

  [walks away] 

• Caroline Forbes : [spell was lifted, and Stefan moves in]  Wait, wait, wait! This can't happen yet!

  Stefan Salvatore : Yes, it can. That's the whole point.

  Caroline Forbes : No, I need you to know I am not some insecure, jealous girlfriend.

  Stefan Salvatore : Mm-hmm.

  Caroline Forbes : Okay?

  Stefan Salvatore : Mm-hmm.

  Caroline Forbes : I just... When I get something that I've wanted for a really long time, sometimes I do this thing...

  Stefan Salvatore : You overthink things. Yeah, I know.

  [passionate kiss] 

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, but sometimes I say things that I don't really need to say, but I'm just scared that I'm the only one thinking them.

  Stefan Salvatore : [with male urgency]  The reason I'm not talking about Valerie is because I'm not thinking about Valerie. I'm thinking of you. And about how you and I have had more history in the last five years than most people have in a lifetime.

  [his arms close around her, he kisses her, she falls backwards onto the bed...] 

• Bonnie Bennett : I didn't wanna wake you.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, I would lose more sleep if you just snuck out without saying hi.

  [pats space next to her on bed] 

  Bonnie Bennett : Hi.

  [joins her on the bed, and they hug] 

  Caroline Forbes : Hmm. I missed this.

  Bonnie Bennett : Am I gonna catch fire?

  Caroline Forbes : No. I just can't touch vampires. Valerie basically turned my skin into vervain.

  Bonnie Bennett : I'll work on unraveling the spell when I get back.

  Caroline Forbes : Stop! We have so much to catch up on. Let's just go shopping for Halloween costumes and we can worry about magic later.

  Bonnie Bennett : Mm. I'm kind of already worrying about magic today. Alaric thinks we can reunite Jo's spirit with her body by using some sketchy native American resurrecting stone. My job is to crush his dreams in the most gentle way possible.

  Caroline Forbes : Wow. Okay. You don't even think it'll work?

  Bonnie Bennett : [chuckles]  I don't think it should. The Other Side is gone, there's no more Gemini prison worlds, which means that Jo's spirit is... probably at peace.

  Caroline Forbes : [sighs]  Our lives are weird.

  Bonnie Bennett : Tell me about it.

  [Caroline chuckles, and she rests her head on her shoulder] 

• Stefan Salvatore : Hi.

  Caroline Forbes : Hi.

  Stefan Salvatore : I brought you coffee.

  Caroline Forbes : [chuckles]  He keeps getting better.

  [accidentally touches Stefan as she takes the beverage, and her skin nearly scorches him] 

  Caroline Forbes : Sorry.

  Stefan Salvatore : [sighs]  It's okay. No contact. It's not your fault.

  Caroline Forbes : [as they walk along]  I take it your charm didn't work on getting Valerie to undo the spell?

  Stefan Salvatore : Ah. I haven't spoken to her yet.

  Caroline Forbes : Oh... So, you're avoiding?

  Stefan Salvatore : No, there's nothing to avoid.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, Stefan, she was your first love, and then she just... left you hanging. You're not the least bit curious why?

  Stefan Salvatore : She hasn't contacted me in the four months she's been back. So I'm assuming she's as over it as I am.

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, but that is... quite an assumption. Considering that she's the reason

  [snickers:] 

  Caroline Forbes : why I literally can't touch you.

  Stefan Salvatore : Fortunately she is the Heretic that I am the least concerned about right now.

  Caroline Forbes : Oh, God. Who now?

  Stefan Salvatore : Let's just say it involves two bored mean girls on a campus full of easy targets. But, fortunately, I have come up with a genius plan to keep them occupied while Damon sorts out his Oscar problem.

  [holds up Halloween dance flyer] 

  Caroline Forbes : [smiles]  The dance?

  Stefan Salvatore : Hmm-mm.

  Caroline Forbes : Full of potential victims.

  Stefan Salvatore : And distractions. All in one place. Easy to babysit. I think the hardest part will be feigning enthusiasm.

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, they'll never fall for it.

  [has a plan] 

  Caroline Forbes : Unless they think it's their idea.

• Nora Hildegard : I'm getting hungry. Is it death o'clock yet?

  Mary Louise : We still have thirteen minutes.

  Nora Hildegard : [as they pass Caroline, spots flyer]  What's this?

  Caroline Forbes : Oh, nothing. It's some... silly Heaven and Hell ball. Stefan invited me, but I don't know.

  [shrugs] 

  Caroline Forbes : These days, Halloween just seems like an excuse to get drunk and show skin.

  [knowing smile at the impact on those two] 

  Caroline Forbes : Sorry, no Heretics allowed. Halloween's only for people who dress *up* as psychopaths.

  Mary Louise : As if we'd want to drink cheap beer out of plastic and then brag about it all over the Internet.

  Nora Hildegard : [with sarcasm]  And you'd even know how to do that.

  [to Caroline:] 

  Nora Hildegard : We're going! To your college party.

  Caroline Forbes : Oh! Okay.

  [chuckles, adding with patronising tone:] 

  Caroline Forbes : Good luck with that.

  [walks away] 

  Nora Hildegard : What's that supposed to mean?

  Caroline Forbes : Nothing! No, you two will fit in just fine. I mean, seriously, you guys have nothing to feel self-conscious about.

  [turns to leave] 

  Mary Louise : Did I say you could leave?

  Caroline Forbes : [secretly smiling by herself, then turns around]  What do you want?

  [of course they need fashion advice] 

• Caroline Forbes : [Mary Louise is wearing red dress]  I see you found a dress. From my closet.

  Mary Louise : I haven't been to a party since New Year's, 1892. Be honest. Will I make a proper modern devil?

  Caroline Forbes : [scans her]  Shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

  [chuckles, then to herself:] 

  Caroline Forbes : Unlike the hips of that dress.

  Mary Louise : Would you prefer I chose a different one and dyed it with your blood?

  Caroline Forbes : Look... I gave you an outfit. Now it's your turn. Siphon off this annoying anti-vampire spell.

  Mary Louise : Aw. Are you prohibited from showing physical affection for your significant other? Try being gay in nineteen hundred.

  Caroline Forbes : Oh, what do you care about some silly spell? You don't even like Valerie.

  Mary Louise : You're right. I don't. I've had to endure two lifetimes with that conniving shrew. And I've learned that when it comes to Val, you don't get on her bad side.
