The Vampire Diaries

Stefan: Mystic Falls... I was born here.

This is my home.

Damon: And mine. Elena: And mine.

For centuries, supernatural creatures have lived among us.

Caroline: They were vampires, werewolves, doppelgangers...

Bonnie: Witches. Klaus: And even hybrids.

Elena: I'm one of them now... a vampire,

and everything I used to feel has changed.

Feelings for him have been magnified.

I can't do this, Elena... not anymore.

I know.

Her brother is the key to finding the cure.

Connor: I call this a hunter's Mark.

The more I kill, the more it grows.

It's invisible to anyone but another hunter.

And I will stop at nothing...

Aah!

To make her human again.

Caroline: What do you mean, you're not coming?

I don't need to remind you

that your miss Mystic Falls attendance record totally sucks.

Besides, you're a founding family member.

By definition, you have to be here.

Stefan: Elena and I broke up.

By definition, I don't need to be anywhere.

Did that sound as depressing to you as it did to me?

I'm not depressed.

I just want to rip into someone's artery

and feed until I can't breathe anymore.

Well, you can't. As your sober sponsor,

I'm not going to let that happen.

Try and sublimate.

She said she has feelings for Damon.

What?

She can't have feelings for Damon.

He's... Damon,

and you're you, and I'm...

Revolted.

You know, I'm gonna talk to her.

I'm going to shake some sense into her clearly diseased brain.

Yeah, well, I don't know what good that'll do.

Elena's right.

Being a vampire really has changed her.

All the more reason you need to cure her.

Look, I got to go.

Be careful and remember,

there's sublimating and then there's insanity.

I'll be fine. Bye.

In what world do the words "tell no one" mean

"tell your brother and every teenage sycophant in town"?

The secret's safe.

No one who knows about the cure would endanger us.

Trust me. You know I want to find it more than anyone else.

Well, then I suggest you find some vampires for Jeremy to kill

before I'm tempted to offer you up as a victim.

And try to keep this one to yourself, would you?

Damon: Where have you been?

Oh, you know. Out.

Damon: Where you going?

Out.

Ok. I see shady Stefan is back.

Please don't tell me that you're still working with Klaus.

You obviously haven't heard.

Elena and I broke up.

Oh.

Got it. Uh, well, I'll be quick, then.

So apparently if we want to find the cure,

we have to find a vampire hunter

who can kill enough vampires

to reveal the map on the hunter's Mark.

Now, unless we want Jeremy to go all Connor 2.0,

I suggest we find a different hunter.

Ok. And?

And I was gonna ask Professor Shane,

but it turns out he's shadier than you are.

Matt Donovan connected him and the pastor

through phone records.

Apparently the two were very chatty

the day that the pastor blew up the council.

Ah. So you're gonna confront Shane,

threaten him, possibly kill him... that sort of thing?

Yeah, unless he tells me what he's up to.

What do you say?

We tag team?

Nah.

I'd say you're on your own.

Or we could just blow it off, then...

go get drunk,

brother-Bond over some tridelts

if you...

You know, want some quality time.

Let's not pretend like this isn't the best day

of your life.

I'm your best friend, and I would never pick sides,

but are you sure that this is what you want?

Because Stefan is your soul mate.

Sorry. Picking sides.

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 more intense.

Yeah, I know. Stefan filled me in

on all the gory Damon details.

He did?

Is he ok?

No. He's heartbroken.

Well, what was I supposed to do? Lie to him?

No, but you weren't supposed to let Damon

weasel his way into your confused newbie vampire heart.

Well, he did, and that's exactly what I am... confused.

I need to figure out what these feelings actually mean.

Excuse me. I'm a little lost.

I'm here to interview contestants.

You're Professor Shane?

Yeah, that's right... Professor by day,

pageant judge by other day.

In spite of being absurdly unqualified,

I'm apparently awarding a scholarship?

Inside by the parlor.

Right here? Mm-hmm.

All right. I'll just follow the scent

of hair spray and world domination.

He's the one who told Damon

how to break the hunter's curse.

He's also the one that has Bonnie so obsessed

with practicing magic

that she bailed on pageant prep.

And now he's judging miss Mystic Falls?

Jack of all trades or kind of creepy?

Matt: So your sister's making me be her date.

Do I have to do that weird dance thing?

I'm pretty sure that's just for the contestants.

I heard that you're April's escort. How'd that happen?

She needed a date, and apparently you were taken.

Uh. Ok, let's just take these,

and we'll come back for the kegs.

Wait.

You want to see something cool?

How did you just do that?

Ever since I was "awoken" as a hunter,

I've had all this energy, like all the time.

Jer, I think you need to talk to someone about this.

I mean, look what happened to Connor, ok?

A by-product of this energy

is that you're gonna want to kill vampires,

and you happen to live with one.

Hey, I would never hurt my sister.

I'll be fine.

Woman on p.A.: Paging Dr. bender.

Paging Dr. bender, please.

Can I help you?

Time for a little break.

He'll be safe with me.

Who are you?

Why is there a cop outside?

I'm a convicted murderer.

Are you guilty?

Of course I am.

Any regrets?

Only that I got caught.

Whoa. Stop. Stop.

Those flowers go in the back,

as indicated by the floral chart

that you guys had plenty of time to memorize.

Yeah. Thank you.

Now, how did I know I'd find you at the helm of this ship?

Go away. I'm busy.

I was wondering what time I should pick you up tomorrow.

About a quarter to never.

I was promised a date

in return for one of my hybrids.

Yes, a date, like to a movie,

where we don't have to talk

and I can put at least 3 seats between us.

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.

Fine. If you insist on coming,

meet me here, 2 P.M. black tie optional.

And I already have a dress,

so don't even think of getting me so much as a corsage.

You understand?

I'll see you tomorrow, Caroline.

Aah! Aah!

Scream. Let it out. We're on an abandoned farm.

No one can hear you for Miles.

Easy for you to say, wolf girl.

You never turned 20 times in a row.

No, but I watched a bunch of your hybrid friends go through it.

Aah!

Why does it have to be like this?

Uhh! Why break every bone over and over?

That's what the sire Bond is.

You're grateful to Klaus because he released you

from the pain of having to turn every full moon.

So you're gonna keep turning until it doesn't hurt.

Then you'll have nothing to be grateful for.

Uh! What's in all this for you?

I don't hear bones cracking.
