Take it from me. Strange is bad; dead is worse.

Thank you.
No problem.
Not just for this, Damon. For everything. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here.
(sighs) You should know this, Elena. Stefan didn't screw us over. He screwed us over, but he had a good reason.
What?
He saved Klaus to save me. Then he stole the coffins to get even.
Damon, if he did it to protect you, then why would he even do that? What does that even mean?
What does it mean? It means I'm an idiot! 'Cause I thought, for one second, that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore.
Wait, what are you talking about? Guilty for what?
(looks pointedly at her) For wanting what I want.
Damon,...
No, I know. Believe me I get it. My "brother's girl", and all... (starts to walk away, then stops) No. (turns back) You know what? If I'm gonna feel guilty about something, I'm gonna feel guilty about this. (kisses Elena)
You know, you guys are ruining a perfectly good funeral.
Stefan just grabbed Elena.
Well, he's getting desperate.
He's going to try to use her against you. Do what he says. Get rid of your hybrids.
Or what? Stefan would never dream of killing her.
Are you sure about that? He just tried to behead someone in the middle of a council party. He's operating on crazy right now.
Well crazy or not, that kind of love never dies. He's bluffing.
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But if you don't wanna believe him, believe me. I know my brother better than anyone and right now I don't have a clue how far he's willing to take this. So if he says blink, I suggest you blink.
(after trying to throw Elena over the bridge):
Elena get in the car!
(sobbing) How could you?! My parents died going over this bridge. I almost died. You knew that. You`re the one who saved me.
He had to believe I would do it, alright?! Your fear sold it.
Well what if he hadn't?
He did.
Well what if he hadn't?!
He did, Elena! He backed down! He has a weakness! If I know his weakness, I can destroy him!
After everything, that`s what mattered, destroying Klaus?
Destroying Klaus is all I have left.
You had me!
I lost you the minute I left town with him. You just haven`t let yourself admit that yet.
Is that what you`re doing? Trying to make me hate you?
I don`t really care what you think about me anymore, Elena.
Are you going to kill me?
On your birthday? You really think that low of me?
Yes.
That looks bad. My apologies you were just collateral damage, it's nothing personal. I love birthdays.
Yeah, aren't you like a billion or something?
You'll have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire Caroline, celebrate the fact that you are no longer bound by trivial human conventions. You're free.
No I'm dying.
And I could let you, die, if that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries, truth be told. But I'll let you in on a little secret, there's a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music, genuine beauty, and you can have all of it, you can have a thousand more birthdays - all you have to do is ask.
I don't wanna die.
(bites his wrist as he picks Caroline up to give her his blood) There you go, sweetheart. Have at it. (she begins to drink) Happy birthday, Caroline.
Bonnie hasn't seen her mom in over 15 years. We don't need your snarky commentary narrating the experience.
What's going on with you two?
We kissed, now it's weird. Have a great trip.
There's something I have to tell you. And it's not because I feel guilty that it happened, it's because I feel guilty that you don't know. I kissed Damon.
Vampire hunter who can't be killed by vampires. Convenient.
I've been having these dreams for days now. It's like the witches are trying to send me a message.
I just can't believe that you guys kept this from me this whole time.
Stefan thought, if you knew where the coffins were, Klaus could threaten people to get the information out of you.
(entering and sees Tyler) What are you doing here?
I came to apologize.
(disbelieving) Apologize?! You bit me. I could've died. I think we're way past apologies, Tyler.
That's the problem. Klaus told me to do it and I said no. And then... just happened anyway. Like, it was completely out of my control. That's why I had your mom call him.
Are you still obsessed of Meredith? I mean, don't you have an original vampire to care about? (as he lifts weights)
Ah ah ah, do ten more of those. You're gonna wanna buff up, if you start dating this one. Self-defense and all.
(about the coffins) Well, Bonnie gave me the heads-up. I didn't have enough time, to get all four, but I did have time to get one.
I will tear you apart, limb from limb. And only then, when you're a riving mass of blood and flesh, will I rip your heart from your chest.
Sorry. The same rules apply. You know, leverage and all. I know you want your family back. But something tells me, you want what's in that coffin a lot more.
Oh, you're still alive. I assume, that means Klaus didn't get his coffins.
Don't look so happy, I was only able to get one of them out in time. The locked one.
Probably a good choice.
Yeah. You know, if you're banking on Bonnie's mom to open it, you're screwed. She doesn't have any powers.
Doesn't surprise me. It's been that kind of night.
It's not Meredith. Okay? I refuse to believe that your luck with women is that tragic.
