Tessa quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Tessa

Where I come from, open bar meant ceramic jugs of Phoenician wine.

Stefan

Ok.

Tessa

You have no idea who I am, do you?

Stefan

No offense, but actually, I have no idea who a lot of people are.

Tessa

Tessa, formerly known as Qetsiyah.

Stefan

The girl who wiped my memories.

Tessa

Nothing personal, little ex-boyfriend drama. Let me make it up to you, buy you an "I'm sorry" drink.

Damon

More like an "I'm sorry" keg. Pardon us.

Tessa

You know that old, ancient story I told you about the Travelers? Oh, wait. You don't. I fried your brain and took your memories. Sorry. The Travelers- you know how Silas wants to destroy the other side so he can be at peace with that slut Amara that he calls his one true love? The Travelers don't want that.

Stefan

Why not?

Tessa

Not important. Scratch that. Very important. I'm just not gonna answer it.

Jeremy

Relax. I'm-- I'm just bringing dinner.

I know you.

Jeremy

I don't think so.

You're the Hunter. I never forget a face, but Silas killed you. You're dead.

Jeremy

I was. I came back.

How? I said how? (to Bonnie) It was you, wasn't it? You're a witch. You brought him back.

Bonnie

You can see me?

Of course I can see you. I'm not blind. I have eyes. Or are you dead? I get so mixed up. I can't tell the difference between the living and the dead.

Jeremy

Can you see people on the other side?

I am the anchor to the other side. I can see everything. Gah! Don't touch me! Please don't-- don't touch me.

Bonnie

I can touch her.

Jeremy

Ok. That's weird.

Bonnie

Jer, I think I've got an idea.

Jeremy

Amara could see Bonnie, and Bonnie could touch her. They made physical contact. It's like Amara's got a foot on each side or something.

Elena

Amara exists in both places at once, here and the other side?

Damon

Then she's not crazy crazy, she's just talking to dead supernatural beings roaming around in our basement.

Bonnie

That's not the point.

Jeremy

The point is, if Silas isn't going to help us, what if Bonnie could be the same thing? What if she existed on both sides at once? What if she became the anchor?

Elena

You're right. Jeremy, you're right. So all we need is someone who could do that spell.

Damon

Oh, please don't say who I think you're gonna say.

Elena

Think about it. Silas wants Amara to die, and Amara wants Amara to die, so who besides us is the one person with the biggest stake against letting that happen?

Damon

I was hoping we could talk.

Tessa

And I was hoping you were my Chinese food. Good-bye.

Damon

You remember Amara, right, brunette, brown eyes, I'm surprisingly not in love with her?

Tessa

What about her?

Damon

Well, she took the cure, she wants to die, and we have her.

Tessa

But she's alive?

Damon

For now. Silas is literally on his way here to kill her. He's completely obsessed with destroying the other side so that he and Amara can live happily ever after in the great beyond. Man, you were right about these Doppelgängers. They do always end up together. So how does it feel to say, "I told you so"?

Tessa

Like I want to shoot fireballs at Silas and drown him in acid.

Damon

See? That's what I thought. So how would you feel about making us a deal?

Damon

So here's my pitch. In order to keep the other side in place, you need something to anchor the spell, right, something powerful, like an immortal being powerful. Now Amara was obviously a great choice until she downed the cure, so would you consider someone who's dead but stuck on the other side a viable candidate?

Tessa

An anchor swap?

Damon

Because I've got a volunteer.

Tessa

I'd be making a ghost a human toll booth between our side and the other side, giving her the power to interact with our physical world and the supernatural purgatory.

Damon

So what's the problem?

Tessa

I need a massive amount of power to do a transfer spell like that.

Damon

Fine. Name your poison.

Tessa

I need something to draw on. The moon's not full, I don't think there's a worthy comet for another couple billion years.

Damon

think hard. I have a girlfriend at home who misses her best friend and a wacky stowaway on suicide watch. It's ridiculous.

Tessa

Doppelgängers. They're powerful, mystically, naturally recurring.

Damon

You want Doppelgänger blood? I got Doppelgängers coming out of my ears. How many do you want?
