- Caroline Forbes: It's just, as her best friend, it is my duty to warn her when she's making a giant mistake, right? And now she's taking Damon's side on everything.
- Klaus: So, being a vampire's changed her?
- Caroline Forbes: Being a vampire amplifies who you already are. It doesn't turn you into a completely different person.
- Klaus: It's very peculiar.
- [as he smiles knowingly to himself]
- Caroline Forbes: What's that look for?
- Klaus: It'll all make sense eventually.
- Elena Gilbert: [about Jeremy] Tell me that you haven't been making him kill vampires, Stefan.
- Stefan Salvatore: We need the map to get the cure.
- Elena Gilbert: [angrily] If getting my humanity back means stripping Jeremy of his, then I don't want the cure!
- Stefan Salvatore: He's the only way to fix all of this.
- Elena Gilbert: You mean me. The only way to fix me. You don't have to love me like this. This is who I am now. The old Elena died when she went off that bridge. Let her go.
- Klaus: In what world do the words tell no one mean tell your brother and every teenage sycophant in town?
- Stefan Salvatore: The secret's safe. No one who knows about the cure will endanger us. Trust me, you know I want to find it more than anyone else.
- Klaus: Well then, I suggest you find some more vampires for Jeremy to kill before I'm tempted to offer you up as a victim.
- Hayley Marshall: [making fun of the pageant] I can't believe that I won.
- [shrugs, sighs:]
- Hayley Marshall: I just wanna thank the judges for seeing past the fact that I'm a raging bitch.
- Tyler Lockwood: You don't wanna do that. Those girls will cut you. They have nails.
- Hayley Marshall: I have claws.
- Klaus: Now why would I wanna cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet? Hmm?
- Caroline Forbes: So there's not one single moment in your whole life that you wanted to be human?
- Klaus: How about you?
- [both chuckle]
- Klaus: Life used to be a lot easier. Don't you miss the days of being chair of the Mystic Falls Beautification Committee, and the director of the Policeman's Yearly...?
- Caroline Forbes: Is that my Miss Mystic application?
- Klaus: [reads] "When I am chosen, I intend to redefine excellence." Now, I'm really enjoying your use of "when" here, it's very confident. "And above all, I promise to aspire, inspire and perspire." Obviously, we found a shortage of words ending in "spire."
- Caroline Forbes: Yeah, that's very funny. It's hilarious.
- [they laugh]
- Stefan Salvatore: [after telling Damon that he broke up with Elena] Let's not pretend... like this isn't the best day of your life.
- Klaus: Now, how did I know I'd find you at the helm of this ship?
- Caroline Forbes: [organizing Miss Mystic Falls] Go away. I'm busy.
- Klaus: I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow?
- Caroline Forbes: How about a quarter to never?
- Klaus: I was promised a date in return for one of my hybrids.
- Caroline Forbes: Yes, a date, like to a movie, where we don't have to talk, and I could put at least three seats between us.
- Klaus: Surely, the reigning Miss Mystic Falls won't be hosting the party alone? And I assume you're not taking Tyler. Not after his indiscretions with his lady werewolf friend.
- Caroline Forbes: [forgot she had no date yet] Fine. If you insist on coming, meet me here, 2 p.m.
- [as she turns to leave:]
- Caroline Forbes: Black tie optional.
- [turns back:]
- Caroline Forbes: And I already have a dress, so don't even think of getting me a corsage, you understand?
- Klaus: [as she goes off] I'll see you tomorrow, Caroline.
- [grins]
- Caroline Forbes, Elena Gilbert: [choosing between two dresses held up by April] Blue!
- April Young: Really? The blue seems a little safe.
- Elena Gilbert: Safe is good... when it comes to the judges.
- Caroline Forbes: She's right. Gracie Lockwood had a three-foot slit her year, and practically got laughed off the court.
- [Elena giggles]
- Damon Salvatore: She got my vote.
- Caroline Forbes: Get lost, lurker!
- [throws shoe at him]
- Damon Salvatore: [missed] Ouch! Where's Professor Shane?
- Caroline Forbes: Check the judges' table.
- [closes door in his face, but he blocks that move]
- Damon Salvatore: [more advice] Red one, definitely.
- Caroline Forbes: We've already agreed that the red one's a little bit too showy.
- Damon Salvatore: [shrugs] It's a pageant. It's the whole point.
- Caroline Forbes: [hands on her hips] Did you win... Miss Mystic last year? No.
- [shakes her head]
- Caroline Forbes: I don't think you did.
- Damon Salvatore: Neither did Elena. And she wore blue.
- Caroline Forbes: [scoffs] Nobody cares what you think.
- April Young: I care.
- Damon Salvatore: See? April cares. Red, right, Elena?
- Elena Gilbert: The red is pretty.
- Damon Salvatore: [nods] And my work here is done.
- [smiles, goes off]
- Caroline Forbes: [to Elena] Uh, what happened to thirty seconds ago when you hated the red one?
- [scoffs]
- Caroline Forbes: What happened to safe is good?
- Elena Gilbert: [shakes her head] Whichever one you wanna wear... April.
- Caroline Forbes: [as Elena goes off] What just happened?
- Caroline Forbes: [to waiter] Hey, why am I bussing your tables? I said no empty glasses!
- [to the band:]
- Caroline Forbes: Would you guys pick up the tempo?
- [snaps fingers]
- Caroline Forbes: This is a pageant, not a funeral!
- Klaus: And how am I doing?
- Caroline Forbes: You're... perfect...!
- [chuckles]
- Caroline Forbes: Which is so beyond annoying, I can't even look at you.
- Caroline Forbes: No, Damon is never right. Damon is sneaky and manipulative and rude, but he is never right.
- [scoffs]
- Caroline Forbes: How can you not see that?
- Elena Gilbert: I don't know. But why do I think that you won't hesitate to tell me?
- Caroline Forbes: Fine. Friend-tervention. I think your so-called feelings for Damon are really starting to cloud your judgment, and I don't like it. And the thought of you two together really makes me wanna barf!
- Klaus: Easy, love. You're making a scene.
- Elena Gilbert: Wow, Caroline, thank you for making this very difficult time so much easier.
- [goes off]
- Caroline Forbes: How did I become the bad guy?
- Klaus: Let's get you a drink. I'll tell you all about being the bad guy.
- Caroline Forbes: I'm your best friend. I would never pick a side. But are you sure this is what you want? Because Stefan is your soul mate. I'm sorry. Picking sides.
- Elena Gilbert: It's not like I don't love Stefan anymore, but I can't deny that ever since I turned, my feelings for Damon have become
- [shakes her head]
- Elena Gilbert: more intense.
- Caroline Forbes: Yeah, I know. Stefan filled me in on all the gory Damon details.
- Elena Gilbert: He did? Is he okay?
- Caroline Forbes: No, he's heartbroken.
- Elena Gilbert: But what was I supposed to do? Lie to him?
- Caroline Forbes: No, but you weren't supposed to let Damon weasel his way into your confused newbie vampire heart.
- Elena Gilbert: Well, he did. And that's exactly what I am, confused. I need to figure out what these feelings actually mean.
