- Caroline Forbes: [weakly opens her eyes to see Klaus in her room] Are you going to kill me?
- Klaus: [pained] On your birthday? You really think that low of me?
- Caroline Forbes: Yes.
- Klaus: [leans down to look at her werewolf bite] That looks bad. My apologies. You were just collateral damage, it's nothing personal. I love birthdays.
- Caroline Forbes: Yeah, aren't you like a billion or something?
- Klaus: You'll have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire, Caroline. Celebrate the fact that you are no longer bound by trivial human conventions. You're free.
- Caroline Forbes: [rasping] No... I'm dying.
- Klaus: And I could let you die, if that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries, truth be told. But I'll let you in on a little secret, there's a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music, genuine beauty, and you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays... all you have to do is ask.
- Caroline Forbes: [tearfully] I don't want to die.
- Klaus: [bites his wrist as he picks Caroline up to give her his blood] There you go, sweetheart. Have at it.
- [she begins to drink]
- Klaus: Happy birthday, Caroline.
- Damon Salvatore: You know, Stefan won this round for us today. He pushed Klaus to the edge and Klaus blinked.
- Elena Gilbert: Well, his methods sucked!
- Damon Salvatore: Still, we needed it. Klaus has been calling all the shots, and Stefan beat him at his own game. He was the better villain.
- Elena Gilbert: Don't sound so impressed.
- Damon Salvatore: [smiling a bit] Well, I can't help but be a little proud.
- Bonnie Bennett: [as they enter the crypt] This is creepy, even for us.
- Elena Gilbert: [taking out a cake] No, Caroline was right... technically, she's dead. Sorry. But you don't need a birthday, you need a funeral. You need to say goodbye to your old life, so that you can move on with your new one.
- Caroline Forbes: Okay... here lies Caroline Forbes...
- Elena Gilbert: [putting candles on the cake] Cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, third grade hopscotch champion...
- Bonnie Bennett: friend, daughter, overachiever...
- Matt Donovan: Mean girl... sometimes... no offense
- Caroline Forbes: [smiling] None taken.
- Elena Gilbert: She was 17, and she had a really good life. So rest in peace, so that she can move forward. That's what you really need. What we all really need.
- Damon Salvatore: Alright, Klaus has 6 siblings. Rebekah is now with Klaus. There was one dead kid in the old world, one dead kid in the new world, which leaves Elijah and two others. Three sleeping originals, four coffins. So, who is in the locked box?
- Stefan Salvatore: No idea. But whatever is in there, Bonnie seems to think will help us kill Klaus. So, the sooner she can get this open, the sooner we will know if she's right.
- Damon Salvatore: [goading the spirits] Oh, you think the spirits of a bunch of dead witches that can make the coffins invisible would have figured out how to open one.
- [but no assistance forthcoming]
- Dr. Meredith Fell: I'm glad to see you're still alive. A part of me thought you would have dropped dead in your sleep.
- Alaric Saltzman: Well, I guess I have nine lives.
- Dr. Meredith Fell: Not a bad thing to have in a town with a vampire problem.
- Elena Gilbert: I feel like, I've been holding on to the girl that was supposed to die here with her parents. The girl who had a normal life, and didn't fall in love with vampires.
- Matt Donovan: You're not that girl anymore. It's okay if you want to let her go.
- Elena Gilbert: Is it? 'Cause I feel like I disappointed her a little like, like I disappointed them. My parents.
- Matt Donovan: My two cents, as a guy who knew that other girl, you're doing a lot better than you think.
- Stefan Salvatore: [Elena is out of the car after Stefan almost drove off the bridge] Get back in the car.
- [slams his door shut, walks after her]
- Elena Gilbert: [sobbing] Stay away from me!
- Stefan Salvatore: Elena, get in the car!
- Elena Gilbert: How could you? My parents died going over this bridge! I almost died.
- [sobbing]
- Elena Gilbert: You knew that. You're the one who saved me...!
- Stefan Salvatore: Look, he had to believe I would do it, okay? Your fear sold it.
- Elena Gilbert: But what if he hadn't?
- Stefan Salvatore: [nods] He did.
- Elena Gilbert: Well, what if he hadn't?
- Stefan Salvatore: He did, Elena! He backed down! He has a weakness. If I know his weakness, I can destroy him!
- Elena Gilbert: After everything? That's what matters? Destroying Klaus?
- [walks off, sobbing]
- Stefan Salvatore: Destroying Klaus is all I have left.
- Elena Gilbert: [sobs, whirls around] You had me!
- Stefan Salvatore: [shakes his head] I lost you the minute I left town with him. You just haven't let yourself admit that yet.
- Elena Gilbert: [frowns] Is that what you're doing? Trying to make me hate you?
- Stefan Salvatore: [turning away] I don't really care what you think about me anymore, Elena.
- [goes off]
- Alaric Saltzman: [jab after jab hits punching bag] So... what's got you all worked up?
- Elena Gilbert: [in between more jabs] I didn't really sleep last night.
- Alaric Saltzman: Me neither. Possibly got something to do with dying.
- [sighs]
- Damon Salvatore: Oh, please don't tell me you're gonna drink the Klaus Kool-Aid.
- Sheriff Liz Forbes: I'm not gonna let him hold this town hostage. But, I'm also not gonna let innocent people get caught in the cross-fire in a pissing contest between a hybrid and a vampire.
- Sheriff Liz Forbes: Liz, I'm impressed, you're all strong and sheriff-y.
- Sheriff Liz Forbes: I'm not kidding, Damon. Get Stefan to stand down from this one before someone gets hurt.
- Tyler Lockwood: I take it all back. Everything I said this morning. Klaus can't control me. Not when it comes to you. I won't let him.
- Caroline Forbes: Tyler, It's okay. Maybe we just weren't meant to be together. Maybe we just have to accept that and move on.
- Tyler Lockwood: I'm not moving on from anything. I love you.
- Klaus: [standing at the door] Tyler came to see me. Poor boy, he seemed quiet distressed, he said Caroline had a terrible accident.
- Matt Donovan: You made him do this to her. He would have never done something like this.
- Klaus: I'm here to help, Matt. My blood will heal her.
- Caroline Forbes: [trying to walk away] I can't talk to you.
- Tyler Lockwood: I know you're upset, but...
- Caroline Forbes: [rattled] Upset? You almost got Jeremy killed! And before you ask me to understand, or to support you, can you at least tell me what you're planning to do about your sire-bond to Klaus?
- Tyler Lockwood: There is nothing that I can do about it, Caroline! That's the point. I just wanted you to know that I understand why you can't be with me. Even though I want to put you first, before anyone, I can't. I'll never be able to. And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I just want you to know that.
- Caroline Forbes: [softening] I'm sorry too.
- Tyler Lockwood: [walking in, seeing the blood on the floor] You called? I'm here. What happened?
- Klaus: What happened is Stefan had two paths in front of him and he chose the one that made me angry. I need you to help me do something about that.
- Tyler Lockwood: Can't you just leave me out of it?
- Klaus: What would be the point of that?
- Tyler Lockwood: Seriously man, can't you just ask another hybrid to do your bidding? I lost my friends, my girlfriend.
- Klaus: Right, your girlfriend. About her... I need you to bite her.
- Tyler Lockwood: [not believing] What?
- Klaus: Don't make me repeat myself.
- Tyler Lockwood: A hybrid bite will kill a vampire.
- Klaus: Yeah, I know exactly what it will do. Stefan pushed me too far, so I'm pushing back.
- Tyler Lockwood: I'm not biting Caroline.
- Klaus: Tyler, I've been supernaturally blessed with the good fortune of a sire-bond to you. So, one could consider this me putting your undying loyalty to the test.
- Tyler Lockwood: What the hell is wrong with you? I'm not hurting Caroline!
- Klaus: Alright. Alright. I'm disappointed, but you know, it's your choice... free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan.
- Alaric Saltzman: [as Elena hits and kicks punching bag] You're gonna put a hole in that thing.
- [knows something's wrong]
- Alaric Saltzman: Wanna talk about it?
- Elena Gilbert: Nothing to talk about.
- [more jabs strike punching bag]
- Dr. Meredith Fell: [spots miniature model of bridge] I hate that bridge. My senior prom date dumped me on this bridge.
- Alaric Saltzman: Oh, yeah? Did you throw him over?
- Dr. Meredith Fell: [giggles] No, but I should have. I've been holding a grudge ever since.
- Elena Gilbert: [to Caroline, who's trying to hide that she's sent a text to Tyler] Okay, you're a bad sober liar. You're an even worse drunk liar.
