"Elena--she's a dead ringer for katherine." "I want the invention." "Don't have it." "But damon does." "And yore gonna get it for me." "I'm not gonna give the device to isobel" "So she can give it to john who's gonna turn around and kill me." "But it'll be useless bonnie can take the spell off." "You took a risk with damon." "How did you know that he was going to give it to me?" "'causee's in love with you." "I couldn't do what she wanted me to do." "It wasn't right." "But when elena finds out..." "She's never going to forgive me." "Ow." "This dress hurts." "Humph." "Suck it in, baby." "[music playing] [indistinct chattering]" "Mrs. Lockwood:" "No, no, no, no." "This lineup is all wrong."

"Look at you, all retro." "What are you doing here?" "Why wouldn't I be here?" "Bonnie deactivated the gilbert inventn." "Isobel's gone." "Heh." "And it's founder's day." "I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your girl." "Don't start with me, damon." "Oh, you started it, stefan," "With that whole "I'm insecure, leave ena alone" speech." "I'm just enjoying that." "As long as you heard it." "Huh?" "What?" "[chuckles]" "You have noense of humor, stefan." "Actually, I just have no see of damon humor." "Damon humor-- hey, look." "I get it." "I get it." "I'm the better, hotter, superior choice," "And you're scared now that katherine's out of the picture" "That I'm gonna turn all my attention to elena." "But don't worry." "Elena is not katherine." "You're right." "She's not." "Anna." "Look at you." "Heh." "I know, it's stupid, huh?" "I'm part of e parade." "But how are you?" "I've been--I've been so worried," "And I feel awful." "Why?" "You didn't kill my mother." "Your uncle did." "Are you sure it was him?" "Who else would have done it?" "He doesn't understand, anna." "It's who he is." "He hates all vampires." "He's just doing what he thinks is right." "Are you defending him?" "No." "No way." "It's just" "I do understand where he's coming from." "He's convinced all the tomb vampis" "Want revenge on this town, and he's just..." "He's trying to protect it." "They do want revenge." "Or, at least, they did." "But that's why we separated from them." "My mom wasn't after venge." "She just wanted her life back." "I haveo get out of this town, jeremy." "You're leaving?" "But I've been thinking." "You could come with me." "I could turn you." "I mean, you said you wanted me to." "Here." "It's my blood." "If you die with it in your system, you'll come back." "Anna-- I know you," "What it's like for you" "Being alone, always feeling empty inside," "No one to understand." "But when youe a vampire, you don't have to feel that way." "You can shut it off." "I can show you how." "I wanted to." "I did." "But I don't think I ca" "I'm sorry." "John?" "Is--is that even posble?" "Well, there's no proof, but he dated isobel when she was a teenager," "And he was the one who brought her to your dad's office for the delivery." "My who life, I've never liked this man." "I..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I just" "I wanted to te you before damon dropped it on you" "In some typically inappropriate way." "No, I'm happy that you told me." "I just..." "I really hope that it's not true." "What am I supposed to do?" "Do I just..." "Confront him and say, "are you mbiological father?"" "I guess when you're ready." "I'm never gonna be ready." "Stefan, I have enough problems with the family that I actually care about." "Jeremy hates me, and why wouldn't he?" "My journal gave him every single reason to." "He's just hu." "He's confused." "He's never gonna forgivme for vicki," "For taking away his memory, for lying to him." "He's your brother." "He'll forgive you." "Just give him some time." "Bonnie:" "Say cheese." "Wait." "Hide your cast." "It's not era-appropriate." "Seriously?" "Uhh." "Yes. [giggles] ok." "All right." "[shutter clicks] I want one with bonnie now." "Here, I can take it." "I'll be on the float." "Uhh." "I said I was sorry." "You made out with his mother, and then you beat him to a pulp." "You're gonna have to do a little bit better than sorry." "Elena:" "Jeremy." "Heh." "I was wondering where you were." "You look great." "You guys did a really great job on the float." "Go away, elena." "Jeremy, come on, please." "I don't want it to be like this between us." "Why don't you have damon erase my memory again?" "Then I can go back to being your in-the-dark little brother." "Jer, please." "Just don't." "You n't fix this that easily."

"Once inserted, the device will be activated." "It will work only once for an estimated time of 5 minutes." "Mayor lockwood:" "Yes." "How does it work?" "It's a high-pitched frequency that humans can't he.." "Any vampire within a 5-block radius will be incapacitated," "Exposing them." "At that time, the sheriff's v5 depies" "Will inject them with vervain and bring themere," "Where we'll finish them off." "And you're certain they're attacking tonight?" "I had a source." "One of the vampires from the tomb" "He confirmed the attack." "Man:" "Everybody listen up." "The plan stays the same." "We wait till the fireworks start." "Ununtil then, blend in."

"Actually, elena, is a compliment" "Of the highest order." "Look, I know stefan is worried" "About our friendship." "Did he mention something to you, too?" "No.Idid he mention something to you?" "No." "Nothing worth repeating." "So, I think you should stop with the flirty little comments" "And that eye thing that you do." "What eye thing?" "Heh." "Don't make me regret being your friend." "Ok?" "I don't believe that we can't fix this." "I lied." "I was wrong." "But you're my brother, jer, and I love you." "And I have to fix it." "So, just tell me." "What can I do?" "You can go to hell, elena." "[music playing]" "Damon, mockingly:" "I have so many emotions," "But I don't have any way to express them." "Being a teenager is so hard." "You dick." "You do not talk to me like that." "I'm not your sister." "And from now on, don't talk to your sister that way, either." "So, what, you're gonna kill me just 'cause I hurt ele's's feelings?" "Cut her some slack." "She erased my memories." "No, I did." "She was protectingou." "It wasn't her call to make." "[panting]" "Let go of me before I cau a scene."

"Yeah." "And I know that that is" "An entirely foreign concept to you." "I completely understand how you wouldn't get it." "You wa to use our town as bait?" "It's too dangerous." "It's insane." "Wee e gone over the plans with your deputies." "They're all on board." "You've gone behind me?" "Yeah, because wenew that's exactly how you'd react." "Our children are here."

"But it's your choice." "Look..." "I know you think you took it away," "But it's still there." "Even if I can't remember why," "I still feel empty." "Alone." "And making me forget won't fix it." "It won't fix what's really wrong." "What I did to vicki" "Was wrong." "Sorry for my part." "Anna said that vampires don't have to feel pain;" "That they could turn it off if they shut out their humanity." "That's very true." "Is it easier that way?" "Is what easier?" "[scoffs] life." "Life sucks either way, jeremy." "At least if you're a vampire," "You don't have to feel bad abouit if you don't want to." "Is that what you did?" "I did it for..." "I did it for a very long time." "And life was a lot easier." "[crickets chirping]" "Hey, man." "I'm so sorry." "Look, I don't even know what happened." "It's ok, man." "L right." "What's happening?" "Is she all right?" "Oh, there was some internal bleeding." "We're taking her into surry." "What else did they say?" "Is she going to be ok?" "They're going to do everything they can."

"I'm very grateful, bonnie." "I hope you know that." "I do." "But I hope you know that tngs have to change." "Damon has to change." "We both want the same thing." "We both want to protect the people we care about." "The difference is, for you," "Damon is one of them." "You saw what I was able to do tonight." "I know who I am now." "And if damon spills so much as one drop" "Of innocent blood, I'll take him down." "Even if have to take you with him." "Let's hope it doesn't come to that." "Let's hope it doesn't." "Whatre you doing here?" "A failed and feeble attempt at doing the right thing." "Which was..." "It's not important." "I'll take this from you." "Thank you." "You know, I came in this town" "Wanting to destroy it." "Tonight I..." "Found myself wanting to protect it." "How does that happen?" "I'm not a hero, elena." "I don'do good." "It's not in me." "Maybe it is." "No." "No, it's reserved for my brother and--and you," "Andonnie," "Even though she has every reason to te me," "Still helped stefan save me." "Why do you sou so surprised?" "Because she did it for you." "Which means that somewhere along the way," "You decided that I was worth saving." "And I wanted to..." "Thank you for that." "You're welcome." "[music playing]" "Hi." "It's late." "You should probably come inside." "[elena sighs]" "What are you doing?" "I don't want to talk about it." "[chuckles] you scared me." "Sorry." "Ohh." "You know, I first met isobel when I was a teenager." "I fell in love with her instantly," "Although I'm pretty sure" "She never loved me." "She was special." "And part of why I hate the vampir so much" "Is because what she became." "How it ruined her." "And I never would have sent her to damo" "Had I known she wanted to turn." "It's my fault." "I'm telling you this" "Because I hoped" "Maybe you'd understand." "Thank you." "Can I help?" "Sure." "[groaning] [gasping] katherine?" "Hello, john." "Good-bye, john." "[groaning]" "I looked everywhere." "Yeah, someone definitely took my stuff." "I just gotta check on jeremy before I go to the hospital." "Can you meet me there?" "Ok." "I love you, stefan."
