- Damon Salvatore: [has Isobel pinned underneath him] Now that I have your attention, listen up. You do not come into my town and threaten people I care about. Going after Elena? Bad move. You leave her alone, or I will rip you to bits, because I do believe in killing the messenger. You know why? Because it sends a message.
- Elena Gilbert: Thanks for being such a monumental disappointment. It keeps the memory of my real mother perfectly intact.
- Damon Salvatore: [late for appointment in classroom] Sorry I'm late. The dog ate my...
- [they're not amused]
- Damon Salvatore: uh, never mind.
- Isobel Flemming: [to Elena] It's inevitable you're gonna get old. Stefan won't. Forever doesn't last very long... when you're human.
- Isobel Flemming: [regarding her hapless companions] I'm teaching them French. Ooh, I can smell the judgment coming off of you.
- John Gilbert: Well, they're people, Isobel, and you're treating them like they're dolls.
- Damon Salvatore: I don't trust you. I tried to kill you.
- Bonnie Bennett: Mm. You're right. You can't trust me.
- Elena Gilbert: But you can trust me.
- Bonnie Bennett: [planning annual parade] All right, show me.
- Caroline Forbes: Let's reference last year's Miss Mystic floats.
- [computer keys click]
- Caroline Forbes: This was what they did last year.
- [screen shows standard balloon-laden float]
- Caroline Forbes: And it's exactly what we don't want to do.
- Bonnie Bennett: [plays along] Ew. Okay. So, what are we doing?
- Caroline Forbes: Southern classic elegance.
- Bonnie Bennett: Gone With The Wnd?
- Caroline Forbes: How'd you know?
- Bonnie Bennett: You channel Scarlett daily.
- Caroline Forbes: So true.
- [chuckles]
- Caroline Forbes: Where's Elena? She's supposed to be helping.
- Bonnie Bennett: I don't know.
- Caroline Forbes: Okay, what's tbe deal?
- Bonnie Bennett: What do you mean?
- Caroline Forbes: Don't play dumb. You and Elena are fighting. Spill.
- Bonnie Bennett: Nothing.
- Caroline Forbes: It's not nothing. You know, this whole float is supposed to be about friends creating something together, and everyone is fighting. Matt and Tyler hate each other, you and Elena are on the outs, I... I don't like it.
- [sighs]
- Caroline Forbes: And I can't fix it if I don't know what's wrong.
- Bonnie Bennett: [shrugs] I can't talk about it, Caroline, I'm sorry.
