Quotes 

• Caroline Forbes : [on cellphone]  Yeah, I'm like an embedded journalist... only in history class.

  Matt Donovan : [smiles]  Slow news day?

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, the school's doing a big ramp-up for Founder's Day. They specifically requested me for the alumni angle. But I was just calling to see what you're doing for lunch. You know, I could save you a seat in the cafeteria.

  Matt Donovan : Rain check. I'm on my way to the Armory to deliver the St. John box that Tyler left behind. Just doing Ric a favor. You doing okay?

  Caroline Forbes : I'm... fine. You know, this is only temporary. All of this is... temporary.

  [nods] 

  Matt Donovan : I'll tell you what.

  [smiles] 

  Matt Donovan : If you sneak into Coach Lyman's office and add something really rude in his playbook, drinks are on me tonight at the Grill.

  Caroline Forbes : [smiles]  "Something rude" like... impolite, or "something rude" like really disgusting?

  Matt Donovan : Dealer's choice.

  Caroline Forbes : [chuckles merrily]  You're on.

• Caroline Forbes : [on cellphone]  I'm fine. I just need to give Sybil the antique bell that your Dad threw off Wickery Bridge

  Matt Donovan : Wait, slow down. You lost me after "I'm fine."

  Caroline Forbes : [sighs]  When your dad lived in Mystic Falls, he took our charter bell to Wickery Bridge, and then threw it off the railing. And now Sybil wants it back. She says it's got sentimental value, or something.

  Matt Donovan : Wait. When was this?

  Caroline Forbes : 1992, according to the head-dive Sybil did on your Dad.

  Matt Donovan : Yeah, that makes sense.

  Caroline Forbes : Why?

  Matt Donovan : Wickery Bridge is where Elena's parents drove their car off the road. When the sheriffs dredged out the car, they found something else. The old charter bell. It was broken, but they saved it.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, let's hope they didn't sell it on eBay.

  Matt Donovan : No, your Mom had it in storage. I only know this because I cleaned out her office after the funeral.

  Caroline Forbes : All those boxes you brought over to the house, they're still in the garage.

  Sybil : Take me there! Now!

  Matt Donovan : Caroline, don't do it! You need to get away from her.

  Caroline Forbes : I don't have a choice, Matt, these kids are gonna kill each other.

  Matt Donovan : Wait, what kids? Where are you?

  Sybil : Matt! Hey! If you try to stop her from helping me, I send a psychic command and my students die anyway. If you come over to her house, my students will die. If I find out that anyone is trying to interfere...

  Caroline Forbes : Ugh. God, we get it. You really should have been a teacher.

  Sybil : Maybe that will be my second career. After you get me that bell!

  [Caroline gives her a humorless smile] 

• Caroline Forbes : Let me guess. That was Matt telling you he managed to save my history students from burning.

  [Caroline bears down upon her with intent to wipe out this vermin now that she finally can] 

  Caroline Forbes : Whoa, whoa, whoa, before you get any of my blood on those stupid little pointy-toed boots, you'd better be 1000% sure that I'm not still linked to your children.

  Sybil : [reins herself in]  What do you mean?

  Sybil : We spent a lot of time together on that little road trip we took. There was *plenty* of time for me to plant an off-switch in their brain. And I

  [snaps her fingers:] 

  Sybil : can drop them at any second. So you'd better not piss me off.

  Sybil : No, you're lying. Stefan made sure my kids would be safe.

  Caroline Forbes : Are you certain that he thought of every possible loophole when he was bargaining his soul away? The only way you'll really find out is if you try to hurt me and roll the dice. Is that what you want to do, Caroline? You wanna gamble with your children's lives?

  [smirks] 

  Caroline Forbes : You know, you seemed so rational when it comes to your daughters' safety. Except you still plan on marrying a Ripper. How do you not see that as

  [with a chuckle:] 

  Caroline Forbes : putting their lives in danger?

  Sybil : By the time I marry Stefan, he will be the man that I have always loved. He's gotten through Ripper sprees before.

  [smiles] 

  Caroline Forbes : Yet, every single time he manages to find a way to fall off the wagon. *Every single time.* Do you know what the definition of insanity is? It's doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

  [nods, smiles] 

  Caroline Forbes : I just hope that the next time he goes Ripper,

  [shakes her head] 

  Caroline Forbes : your kids aren't in the house.

  [gives mock sigh, smirks at distraught Caroline before leaving]
