[Gilbert House: Caroline, who is holding a laptop in her hands, and Tyler, who is carrying a sword that is wrapped in a blanket, enter the Gilbert house where Klaus is sitting on the coffee table. Caroline goes to sit down on the couch.]
[To Tyler] Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwood. Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?
I'm just trying to help my friends find the cure. [Removes the blanket from the sword] Found this in your attic.
And you think finding the sword brings you closer to the cure?
You tell me. I was playing around with the handle on the ride over, and I found this. [Unwraps the leather on the top of the sword, revealing some sort of turning device.]
[Gets up and approaches Tyler] And what do you think this is?
[Gets up and approaches Tyler and Klaus] [To Klaus] It's called a cryptex. [Tyler turns to her] I've seen "The Da Vinci Code". You turn the different sides to the different symbols to get the translation on the other side. [Walks over to a table and picks up photos of Jeremy's tattoo] And with the magic of the internet, Elena sent over these. [Holds out photos of Jeremy's tattoo] So now all we have to do is cryptex away. [Sits down on the couch] If you happened to want to help, we wouldn't stop you.
Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer?
[To Caroline] What's Aramaic?
It's a dead language. It hasn't been used since, like, biblical times.
Qetsiyah's native tongue, I'm guessing. You know, even if you had the best dictionary in the world, it could take days to translate. [Sits down on the coffee table] Perhaps weeks. [Speaks in Aramaic]
What does that mean?
[Speaks in English] "If only you spoke Aramaic."
