Are you even up for this? I mean, no offense, you're no Emily Bennett. Emily knew what she was doing.
I've been practicing.
It's not piano lessons, honey.
Don't look for any redeeming qualities in me. I don't have any.
But you took a risk with Damon. How did you know that he was going to give the device to me?
Because he's in love with you.
Thank you.
For what?
For being such a monumental disappointment. It keeps the memory of my real mother perfectly intact.
As long as you have a Salvatore on each arm, you're doomed.
What did you expect? You spent all this time trying to track me down. What did you think you would find?
The woman who gave me this. (raises his eternity ring) I mean, you act like you don't care - but you cared enough to protect me after you left.
I was a different person back then.
Right! And that person is "gone". The woman I married, the woman I loved, she's just...she's "gone". (throws the ring at her) You expect me to believe that? (throws his vervain on the floor)
What are you doing?
Well, I'm ring-free, I'm vervain-free. So either kill me or compel me, because I don't believe it. Not for a second.
Well, I know that you and Elena have bonded, and I know that she cares about you, and...I know you care about her.
Well, this is going in an interesting direction.
I'm just concerned about Elena being hurt. She considers you...a friend.
Same here. Elena is a very good friend. Actually, she might qualify as my only..."friend."
So, at the risk of sounding like, uh...like a jealous boyfriend...
Oh, there's no risk. You do.
History will not be repeating itself where Elena is concerned. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Sure, sure.
Am I the only one around here who has the ability to put two and two together? Isobel! Helloooo! She dated John when she was 15; she gets pregnant, and ends up in the doctor's office of John's brother. Now, what do you think John's role is in all this? I mean, go ahead and think about it, I'll wait. (pauses) Did you get it? You there yet?
So you think that John is Elena's father?
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
What proof do you have?
I don't need any proof - that's a DNA test for John, Elena, and Maury Povich to deal with. But I know how well you deal with these big "bombshells", so... Sleep tight.
Oh, and when you do tell Elena, and she needs a friend to talk to about anything...I'm here for her.
