Ooh, silver lining. If Rebekah takes the cure, then she's mortal. And then we can just kill her right then and there.
Ooh, dark cloud. Elena stays a vampire forever.

(walking in) (to Klaus) I got your fifty bajillion messages. This better be life and death.
(gruffly) Go away.
Klaus? Where are you? (as she looks around and sees him) What happened to you?
(thinking she's still Silas) I need more time. Stop hounding me!
I'm hounding you? I'm supposed to be running 3 different prom committees right now and you keep phone stalking me.
Caroline? Is it really you? (as she looks surprised) Prove it to me.
Okay, I don't know if this is some new way of flirting, but it sucks, and I have more important things to do. (tries to leave)
Wait, please. Silas... he stabbed me with the white oak stake. There's a- a piece of it stuck inside me.
Why would Silas attack you?
Well, I was in no position to ask questions. Suffice it to say, I'm hurt. So you can understand why I called you.
You ran Tyler out of town, you killed his mother, and you think I'm the person to call for help?
Klaus': If I die, you, Tyler, all of your friends die with me.
(to Klaus) Oh, my god. You do have a heart. (she moves the pliers deeper as Klaus howls in pain) Oh, my bad. It's just a bloody rib.
Well I'm glad you're finding my misery so amusing.
Ugh, I swear there's nothing in here. And if you think I'm having fun, you're insane.
You killed 12 witches for your friend Bonnie. You can't even get your hands a little dirty for me. Here I thought we were becoming friends.
So what happened to the guy who thought Elena should embrace being a vampire, let the chips fall where they may?
That guy got his neck snapped in New York and this guy is royally pissed off.
What do you think?
Hm. It's close. Not quite slutty enough – I think you need more eyeliner.
Where's Katherine, Elena?
[To Klaus] We've all tried to kill you. And you've tried to kill most of us. How do you think that you deserve my friendship when you've done nothing to earn it?
[Stands up] [Ferociously and savagely] I will not have my hand forced by you OR ANYONE ELSE!
[Also ferociously and savagely] What is wrong with you?! I'm reaching out to you despite everything that you've done, and you still can't get out of your own way. GOD! I feel sorry for you.
[Caroline starts to leave, but Klaus vamp-speeds to block her way.]
DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON ME!!!
I SHOULD'VE TURNED MY BACK ON YOU AGES AGO!!!
[Caroline and Klaus stare at each other.]
[Realizes that the pain is gone] It's gone.
What?
The pain. The– the pain is gone. [Realizes that the pain was never in his back] It was– it was never there. He got in my head. Silas– [Points to his own temple] –got inside my head. [Takes Caroline's hand] You took my mind off it. You brought me back, Caroline.
[Caroline turns around and brings her hands to her head, then turns back to Klaus.]
If Silas can make you, of all people, believe that you're dying, what can he do to the rest of us?
You know I don't want the cure. You need to know that I never will and I'm done talking about it. So... will you accept that and let me be who I am, or not?
Believe me, I learned my lesson. Elena without humanity is a stone-cold bitch, and I won’t trust her until we get the old Elena back.
Where's the cure?
What? No I'm here to avenge my annoying little brother speech?
People die. We move on.
(enters the room as she wipes her hand with a towel) I used all your bleach.
Hey. Thank you for helping me.
Yeah… Well, if you need anything else... don't call me. I have a prom to plan.
(smiling) Friends, then?
Are you gonna let Tyler come back into town?... (turns when he says nothing)
You might have noticed... I'm not exactly scouring the earth for him, am I?
You and Katherine? And I thought you were the smart brother.
(indignant) You don't have a smart brother. It turns out I'm just as stupid as the rest of you.
Why don't you just give me the cure so I can judge you silently elsewhere?
And what could you possibly want with the cure?
I want to be human again.
How do you know that being human is the answer you're looking for? I mean, it's nothing but a romantic notion. The grass won't necessarily be greener, Rebekah.
You're probably right. But I don't care. I want to live a simple life as a normal person. And when it ends, it ends. We've had 20 lifetimes together, Elijah. Isn't that enough?
I just don't understand. I mean, why must you always consider our family a burden? Always and forever. I mean, those words are as important to me today as they, as they ever were.
You will always be my brother. And I will never stop loving you. But now it's time for me to live and die the way that I choose, not the way you and Nik want me to.
