Elena
You scared me! What are you doing in here?
I'm hiding from Caroline.
Elena
And why is that?
I need a break.She talks more than I can listen.
Elena
That can be a sign.
Plus she's awfully young.
Elena
Not much younger than you are.
I can't see going anywhere in a bigger picture.I think she drives me crazy.
Elena
Caroline does have some really annoying traits but we've been friends since the first grade and that means something to me.
I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. It's just not my intention.
Elena
Yes, it is.Otherwise you wouldn't put alternative meaning behind everything you say.
You're right. I do have other intentions but so do you.
Elena
Really?
Mhm. I see them. You want me.
Elena
Excuse me?
I get to you.You find yourself drawn to me.You think about me when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dreamed about me. And right now you want to kiss me.
Elena[slaps him]:What the hell?I don't know what kind of game you're trying to play with Stefan here, but I don't want to be part of it. And I don't know what happened in the past, but let's get one thing straight - I am not Katherine!
[Tyler approaches Vicki.]
Nothing. [Notices Jeremy sitting on the back of a truck] Is that Jeremy? [Walks towards Jeremy]
[Tries to stop Tyler from walking towards Jeremy] Oh, no. Ty, no. Leave him alone.
[Pushes Vicki away from him] What do you care? [Approaches Jeremy] Don't look so down. You can have her when I'm done.
[Jeremy punches Tyler in the face. Jeremy and Tyler engage in a fistfight.]
Tyler, stop it! Tyler! Stop! You're hurting him! Tyler! Tyler, stop! Tyler! Stop it! Tyler, stop!
[Stefan sees Jeremy and Tyler in a fistfight and walks over to them.]
Hey, he's down! [Grabs Tyler's arm] Enough!
[Tyler punches Stefan in the chest, but finds that his punch is ineffective on Stefan. As Elena runs towards Stefan, Jeremy, Vicki, and Tyler, Jeremy picks a broken beer bottle up and goes to strike at Stefan and Tyler. Tyler tries to punch Stefan, but Stefan pushes Tyler out of the way.]
Elena
Jeremy. no!
[Jeremy cuts Stefan's hand.]
[Restrains Tyler] Tyler! Knock it off! Stop!
Elena
Look, you’re the mystery guy and I like that. But with mystery comes secrets...and this thing with Katherine…
You know, let it go. I don’t wanna talk about it.
Elena
Well, then say something about yourself. Anything. Otherwise, I’m left with nothing but what other people tell me.
Elena
Nope, not going to either.
And you’re okay with everything?
Elena
No, I’m not okay with any of it. I’m not gonna cry about it either. You know, I was going to write in my diary this morning and then I thought, what am I going to write? Honestly, I’m not gonna be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops spinning because of some guy.
Talk to who? I'm so sorry that I'm late.
Elena
What happened?
Elena
Is everything okay?
There’s this thing with my uncle.
Elena
And you couldn't call and tell me you’re going to be an hour late?
Ok. You two have fun.[Matt walks away]
I’m really sorry. It was unavoidable.
Elena
What was unavoidable? [Stefan looks down] Okay.
Elena
No, Stefan, don't you get it? Every question gets a vague non-answer. What is so awful that you're afraid to tell me?
Stefan Hey, can I take you home? And, and we can talk about all this. Is that okay?
Elena
Wait, what was that?
I, I don't know. Uh, Nothing.
Elena
Right. Nothing. Okay, um... I gotta go, Stefan.
I'm an avid reader. A huge Fitzgerald fan. "The Great Gatsby", his masterpiece. But I'm no snob. I love some good Grisham. I think 'Seinfeld' is the best American television show for the past 50 years, but 'I Love Lucy' is all time. The loving cup episode was the best, I think. Huge Scorsese fan. I can watch 'Taxi Driver' over and over again.
Elena
Here, let me.[Helps Stefan prep dinner]
As far as music, it's pretty much across the board. Um, Dylan, Hendrix, Patsy, Willie. Oh, Kanye. You know what, I even like that one Miley song.
Elena
[Scoffs]
Elena
I didn’t say anything.
Elena
What are you? What are you?
Elena
No, I don't.
Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here.
Elena
It's not possible. It can't be.
Everything you know...and every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?
Elena
What are you?
Elena
Is Stefan here?
Elena
Where is he?
And good morning to you, Little Miss "I'm On a Mission".
Elena
How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?
And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?
Elena
If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead.
Elena
But I'm not.
(To Elena) You should go. I got this.
Elena
You did this! This is you're fault!
You confuse me with someone with remorse.
None of this matters to me. None of it.
Elena
(Breaks free from him) People die around you! How can it not matter? It matters and you know it!
(Elena starts feeling anger starting and looks at her as blood is covered on her) You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding. And you need to leeave.
