Hey. How's Caroline?

KAKatherine as Elena

Not good. [Hugs Stefan] Just what I needed. [Goes to kiss Stefan. Stefan suddenly jerks Katherine back and growls, then throws Katherine across room]

Katherine.

At least I fooled one of you. [Stefan zips over and smashes her up against the wall with a growl] Feel better?

[Stefan throws her up against another wall by the throat. The click of keys in the door distracts him, and Katherine breaks his arm and zips out of the house. Elena and Damon come into the house.]

Stefan?

Elena.

What happened?

Damon

Katherine happened.

She said she fooled one of us, at least. What does that--what does that mean?

Damon

She pretended to be Elena, too, when I showed up earlier tonight.

Katherine was in this house. That means she's been invited in. What are we gonna do?

Damon

Move.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Damon

Katherine wants you dead, there’s zero you can do about it - you will be dead. But you're not! So clearly she has other plans.

What happened tonight when you thought she was Elena?

Damon

(winces) To risk another frown line encroaching on a very crowded forehead... We...kissed.

And you thought it was me?

What do mean you "kissed"?

Damon

Well you know when two lips pucker and they go... (makes kissing noise)

Damon

I've got a better idea.

What's that?

Damon

I'm just gonna ignore the bitch. See ya.

Is that smart?

Damon

If Katherine thinks she's being ignored, it'll lure her out. She'll make a move.

Yeah? Then what?

Damon

Stake her...rip her head off...something poetic. We'll see.

Hey. How are you doing?

Damon

Great, Elena. Walking on sunshine. Thanks for asking.

Damon...

Damon

Elena...

We should be able to talk about this, Damon, we're close enough now. I really want to know how you’re doing.

Damon

I kissed you, I thought you kissed me back, doppelganger hijinx ensued... How do you think I’m doing?

I think that you’re hurt.

Damon

Mmm, no, I don’t get hurt, Elena.

No, you don't admit that you get hurt. You get angry and cover it up, and then you do something stupid.

Damon

You’re scared. You think Katherine's going to send me off the deep end, don't you? I don't need her for that. [starts to leave, then turns back around] You know, why...why is it such a surprise that I would kiss you?

That’s not a surprise. I'm surprised that you thought I’d kiss you back.

Damon

... Now I’m hurt.

Damon

I kissed Elena.

Because you feel something for her! Because you actually care. And I'm not gonna let Katherine come in here and destroy that part of you that is finally, after all of this time, willing to feel something. She'll try to break you. She'll try to break us. And how we respond to that will define us. It's our choice. So, no. I'm not gonna fight you.

Damon

Don't pout. It’s not attractive in a woman your age.

Ouch. (Damon walks away. Katherine appears in front of him again.) What, no goodbye kiss?

Damon

Why don't I kill you instead?

(scoffs)

Damon

What are you doing here?

Nostalgia, curiosity, etc.

Damon

I'm better at the enigmatic one-liners, Katherine. What are you up to?

Trust me Damon, when I'm up to something, you'll know it. Come on. Kiss me. Or kill me. Which will it be, Damon? We both know you're only capable of one...

Damon

Okay, wait. Wait. Brief pause. I have a question. Answer it and it's back to fireworks and rockets red glare. Answer it right, and I'll forget the last 145 years I’ve spent missing you, I'll forget how much I loved you, I'll forget everything and we can start over. This can be our defining moment, because we have the time. That’s the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth, just once-

Stop. I already know your question, and its answer. The truth is, I've never loved you. It was always Stefan.

Have you been drinking?

Damon

(makes gesture 'a little')

And you're upset. That's...not a good combination.

Damon

No, I'm not upset. Upset is an emotion specific to those who care.

Damon

You're surprised that I thought you'd kiss me back - you can't imagine that I’d believe that you'd want to?

Damon...

Damon

That what we've been doing here means something? You’re the liar, Elena. There is something going on between the two of us and you know it. And you’re lying to me, and you’re lying to Stefan, and most of all your lying to yourself. I can prove it.

No-

Damon

(kisses her)

Damon, don't! What’s wrong with you?

Damon

Lie about this. (tries to kiss her again)

Stop it. You're better than this, come on!

Damon

That’s where you're wrong.

No, no, no, Damon...I care about you. Listen to me, I care about you! I do. But I love Stefan. It's always gonna be Stefan!

Elena, what's going on in here?

(struggles out of Damon's grip) Nothing, Jeremy, it's okay. Just-- just go back to bed.

Damon

No, it's not okay, Elena. (looks from her to Jeremy) He wants to be a vampire. (rushes to Jeremy, grabs him by the neck and pins him against the wall)

No, Damon, stop it!

Damon (to Jeremy): You wanna shut out the pain? It's the easiest thing in the world! The part of you that cares, it just goes away. All you have to do is flip the switch and snap! (breaks Jeremy's neck)

(gasps) Damon! (Jeremy falls to the floor) NO!

Damon

Aren't you worried that, one day, all the forest animals are gonna band together and fight back? I mean, surely they talk...

I'm just happy that's a blood bag and not a sorority girl supplying your dinner.

Damon

I like this. You, walking on eggshells around me because you think I'm gonna explode. It's very suspenseful.

Damon

Jeremy, so good to see you alive.

Aren't you a little old for a high school carnival?

Damon

150 years too old.

Your pretty funny - cracking jokes when I could, I dunno, blow the whole lid off this thing by telling someone what you really are.

Damon

So...please tell me that that is not a threat

Maybe it is. (looks at his ring)

Damon

Okay. (grabs Jeremy in a chokehold) This is what we're not going to do. We’re not going to walk around like we're invincible, when it is this easy for me to end you. If you wanna tell people what I really am, go ahead and try. I will shove this ring so far up your ass, you'll really have something to choke on. (throws ring at Jeremy)
