- Damon Salvatore: Teacher by day, vampire hunter by night.
- Alaric Saltzman: I have you to thank for that.
- Stefan Salvatore: I gotta get my strength back up.
- Damon Salvatore: I have two liters of soccer mom in the fridge. No?
- Stefan Salvatore: We'll talk when I get back?
- Damon Salvatore: All right. Give my regards to the squirrels.
- Damon Salvatore: [about Pearl] She's gonna help me get Katherine back.
- Elena Gilbert: Of course she is. Damon gets what he wants, as usual, no matter who he hurts in the process.
- Damon Salvatore: You don't have to be snarky about it.
- Elena Gilbert: I woke up this morning to learn that all the vampires have been released from the tomb. I've earned snarky.
- Damon Salvatore: How long are you going to blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?
- Elena Gilbert: I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities.
- Damon Salvatore: [sarcastic] Ouch.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Come on, you can't keep saying no to me.
- Anna: Look, I'm not gonna turn someone who learned everything he knows about vampires from Netflix.
- Pearl: Jeremy Gilbert? Is that what you've been up to?
- Anna: He's my friend. What's the big deal?
- Pearl: His family is the reason I was stuck in a tomb for over a century.
- Anna: That doesn't mean he'll make the same choices.
- Pearl: I want you to stop seeing him.
- Anna: I've been on my own for a long time, Mother. I can make my own decisions.
- Pearl: Then stop acting like a child. As soon as Jeremy finds out what you really are, he will turn on you.
- Anna: He already knows.
- Pearl: What did you just say?
- Anna: Jeremy knows. He likes it, and he likes me.
- Damon Salvatore: Ugh. How long are you gonna blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?
- Elena Gilbert: I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities.
- Damon Salvatore: Ouch!
- Anna: [as Jeremy stands looking at the old newspaper photograph of Vicki] What are you doing?
- Jeremy Gilbert: My... my friend, Vicki, uh... she's... she's dead.
- Anna: Vicki? The one you thought was a...?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Yeah. Turns out she's been dead all along.
- Anna: [realizes] She's the reason you wanted to turn. You wanted to be with her.
- Jeremy Gilbert: [tears] Look, I'm sorry.
- [but there's only the curtains blowing in the wind]
- Jeremy Gilbert: So, I have an answer.
- Anna: To what?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Why you should turn me.
- Anna: We're back to that?
- Jeremy Gilbert: Look. I wake up every day and I feel okay, but there's something missing. Like a... like a hole. Some people, they fit. In life or whatever. I, I don't.
- Anna: So, you want a pity turn. I don't think so.
- Jeremy Gilbert: No, you should turn me because I don't have anything else.
- Anna: Do you even know why we turn other people? It's not to give someone a one-way ticket out of lonerhood. Okay? One, we need someone to do our dirty work. Two, revenge. Three, boredom, but you know that never turns out well. And then, you know, there's the obvious one. You love someone so much that you would do anything to spend all of eternity with them. I'm sorry but you don't fit any of those categories yet.
- [Mayor Lockwood invites Pearl and Anna to join him and Tyler at the Mystic Grill]
- Tyler Lockwood: Be more creepy, Dad. Not like your son is standing right here.
- Mayor Richard Lockwood: Grow up. Elections are coming; she's a constituent. And a rich one from the looks of it.
- Tyler Lockwood: And you can tell all that by looking at her ass?
- Anna: Okay, we have some time. I'm not meeting my Mom until later.
- Jeremy Gilbert: Wait, does your Mom know you're a...
- Anna: The fact that you would even think that it's possible to keep something like that a secret from your own family is just further proof that you're not ready.
- Jeremy Gilbert: 'Not ready' is a step up from 'no'.
- Anna: And a million steps down from 'maybe'.
- Damon Salvatore: [as Stefan is on his way out] Hunting party?
- Stefan Salvatore: Guy did a number on me last night when he stabbed me. I've got to get my strength back.
- Damon Salvatore: I have two liters of Soccer Mom in the fridge.
- [Stefan grimaces]
- Damon Salvatore: No?
- Stefan Salvatore: We'll talk when I get back.
- [starts leaving]
- Damon Salvatore: All right. Give my regards to the squirrels.
- Caroline Forbes: [enters into his room while he is still recovering from the news of Vicki's death] I made you some coffee.
- Matt Donovan: Thanks, Care.
- Caroline Forbes: Are you... Is there anything I can do?
- Matt Donovan: [shakes head] I just, uh... I need to be alone right now.
