Caroline
I'm on the M.F. beautification committee, I volunteer at the rec center soup kitchen...
I recognize that I haven't been as involved, this year, as I used to be...
Caroline
...I implemented this year's Go Green campaign at school...
I've been distracted, and I let a lot of things slide...
GA Girl
I don't think it's wrong for me to win two years in a row...
ABAmber Bradley
I was surprised to have been selected, since I'm not from one of the founding families...
...but I'm aware of what an honor this is, and I want you to know that I take it seriously...
Caroline
...worked with the county's recycling program and was in charge of the policemen's yearly raffle...
TFTina Fell
...just because my D.U.I. made my community service mandatory doesn't mean I was any less committed...
...this was really important to my mother. She believed in community, family, honor, and loyalty. It's the legacy she left for me.
Caroline
And Amber Bradley is only on the court so the pageant doesn't look like it's founding families only, which, of course, it is. So that leaves Elena, and she totally has the sympathy vote, since her parents died. How can I compete with that?
Very nice. Very sensitive.
[Damon reveals to Caroline that he is going to kill her.]
Caroline
[Sobbing] [To Damon] Please don't. I don't want to die!
Yeah, but you're already dead.
Caroline
No, I'm not! Don't say that, okay? Just help me!
Caroline
Okay? Just– help me, please! Please, please! [Embraces Damon while sobbing]
[Embraces Caroline] Okay, okay. It's gonna be okay. Gonna be okay. It's the only way.
[Damon gets ready to plunge the stake into Caroline's back, but Stefan appears and pulls his brother's hand away, causing him to drop the stake, as Elena rushes to Caroline.]
[Angrily] [To his brother] Stefan!
Caroline
[Thinking that Elena is Katherine] [To Elena] Get away from me! You killed me!
No, no, no, no, Caroline, that wasn't me. You know that. That was Katherine.
Caroline
No! Then why did she look like you?! And why?! Why did she do this to me?!
[To Stefan] Stefan, we gotta get her inside.
[To Caroline] It's all right, Caroline, come with me.
[To his brother and Elena] She will die. It's only a matter of time.
[To his brother] Yeah, maybe so, but it's not gonna happen tonight.
Oh, yeah, it is. (rushes at Caroline with the stake; Elena blocks him)
(gasps in terror, but holds her ground) [To Damon] Damon, she's my friend.
(slowly backs away) Whatever happens... it's on you.
Caroline
So you're saying that, now, I'm basically an insecure, neurotic, control freak on crack.
Well, I wasn't going to say it like that, but...
Caroline
Why are you looking at him with your serious vampire look?
My wha-...my "serious vampire look"?
Caroline
Mm-hmm. I mean, it's different from your worried vampire look, neither of which stray too far from your 'hey, it's Tuesday' look.
Oh, I get it. Okay. You think I'm, ah, you think I'm too serious. That it?
Caroline
I mean, I wasn't gonna say it like that, but...
[Playing Pictionary, Damon is drawing]
Caroline
Puppy! Puppy...puppy with a tutu?
Dog. Hound. Hound dog. You ain't nothing but a hound dog!
[Stops drawing] Mason wins again.
We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her.
Caroline
Can't we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?
No. Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm going to go to the masquerade ball and I'm going to kill her tonight.
You're not gonna kill her.
Don't give me that goody-goody crap.
You're not going to kill her...
