Alaric and Damon in “Unfinished Business”

Alaric

You're going to screw it up, aren't you?

Damon

You think if I took his werewolf out of the equation, she might..."get over" the fact that I tried to turn her into a vampire?

Alaric

I think it won't matter because you'll be dead.

Damon

But without the werewolf, he can't perform the ritual tonight, which means I would have bought her one month before the next full moon.

Alaric

And you'll still be dead.
