Let me guess - (points to himself) "fun brother", (points to Damon) "safe brother."
(hits the gas)
What are you doing?
Do you trust me?
Do I really have a choice?
Nope. (sends car into a tailspin; crashes it)

OK, Dr. Forbes. Since when do you know so much about amnesia?
It's possible I studied up on my chem, biochem, applied microbio, molecular bio, and "Gray's Anatomy" - the real one and the television show.
This town always so upbeat about dead people?
Well, in the theme of morbid town tradition, you go back to the 1820s when everyone was so paranoid about the cholera thing that they would occasionally bury a body a wee bit before its time.
So we have a holiday dedicated to burying people alive?
Well, they were so paranoid that they would actually request to be buried with a string attached to a bell above the ground, and then the whole family would hang around the grave for 24 hours in hopes of hearing the bell and that their loved one would come back, but now it's just really-- it's a really kick-ass excuse to get hammered.
Well unfortunately, Stefan, there are two types of vampires in the world, OK? There are those who can handle moderation, and then there's you.
What kind of name is Honoria Fell?
Shh. You're kind of the one that killed her.
Oh.
Well, I, uh, I certainly hope your family history was happier than mine.
Well, let's see. In the last three years, I lost my adoptive parents, my birth parents, my aunt, our guardian Alaric, and my brother Jeremy died, although he came back to life, so there's that.
Wait. Jeremy that lives in our house?
Yeah. After I had a breakdown and burned my house to the ground.
Hmm.
What?
How do I not remember you? I mean, you're smart, you're pretty, you're funny. Obviously, you're the strongest woman in the world if you managed to figure out a way to get through all that.
I surround myself with amazing people who help me through it. Like you. You're one of those people.
So bonded by death? Please don't tell me that we meet in a cemetery. (Elena grins) Really? We met in a cemetery?
Well, no. Officially, we met somewhere else first, but... Um, you want to see?
Yeah, sure.
JJesse
Togavirus. Go.
Togavirus causes congenital rubella, whatever that is.
JJesse
OK, hot shot. Red Queen theory.
A theory often used to explain a contradictory relationship between predator and prey.
JJesse
And why does the supposedly weaker species always stay one step ahead?
Fear of extinction. The rabbit is faster than the fox because the fox is chasing its dinner. The rabbit's running for its life.
I'm good right? I'm compassionate. I live with this burning hunger inside of me that allows me to stay in control... But what do I have to show for it? Huh?
JJesse
I don't know you man!
I have no memories because my brain was fried, my brother, who's been my brother for 160 some odd years, stole my girlfriend....and my girlfriend let him. So, you tell me... what's the point of being good?
EElena (voice over)
Dear Diary, do you ever get sick of me writing about death?
(Elena doesn't pick up)
Busted.
Hey.
Hey, Miss avoiding me for three days.
Avoiding you? What? We've been talking.
Texting one time. "Want to be my plus one at a costume party?" Winky face.
In 1864, there was a vampire roundup in Mystic Falls.
Was there? I'm bad with dates.
Word on the street is that you sold out many vampires, including your best friend Pearl and her daughter Annabelle.
I was running from Klaus. I needed to jet solo. I threw a couple of vampire names on a hit list. Sue me. I also impersonated a teenager to get my ex-boyfriends to make out with me, staged a fake fight to trigger my lover's werewolf curse, ooh, and I chopped off this douchey guy's fingers with a butcher knife once. That was cool.
What about ripping a mother away from her daughter? Having her killed for your own benefit?
What are you getting at?
Now a little bit about me. I had myself turned into a vampire to hunt you, to even the playing field, to track your every move for however long it took me until I found you, and I did this because you killed my mother. It happened in Paris, 1645.
I go to Paris for shoes. The shoes I remember. Everything else requires a few more details.
Her name was Lily Atoma. You were on the run from Klaus. She took you in, but when his minions show up, you pointed at my mom, and you said, "That is Katerina Petrova. She is the one you want." So they took her away.
You were never going to let me go, were you?
No, but I'd hate for you die on an empty stomach.
Did I mention you're the hottest serial killer in here?
Well, considering the crowd, I'll take that as a compliment.
I thought you got Stefan a costume.
He's James Dean. I went easy on him. I figured between the blood lust drama, the Damon-Elena drama, the amnesia drama, he's been through enough.
Lady Ann Boleyn. Now, who in their right mind would cut off a head so gorgeous?
Uh, you, my King, my not-so-loving husband.
Well, maybe I can dance my way out of this doghouse.
Where I come from, open bar meant ceramic jugs of Phoenician wine.
Ok.
You have no idea who I am, do you?
No offense, but actually, I have no idea who a lot of people are.
Tessa, formerly known as Qetsiyah.
The girl who wiped my memories.
Nothing personal, little ex-boyfriend drama. Let me make it up to you, buy you an "I'm sorry" drink.
More like an "I'm sorry" keg. Pardon us.
So you want to explain to me why I just killed my brother?
Well, Tessa's spell mentally linked us. I lost my psychic abilities. Stefan lost his memories.
And this severed the link?
Yes, Damon. I can read your mind again. No. I'm not lying, and maybe you enjoyed breaking your brother's neck just a little bit too much.
