Damon and Alaric in “Unfinished Business”

Damon

If I can see you... (he pats Alaric's arms and face) ...and I can touch you, that means the little witch did it. She dropped the veil.

Alaric

Well, not completely. It's only down inside the Expression triangle. If I step outside of it, it's back to ghost world.

Damon

Well, where is everybody? I figured with the veil down, it'd be like Ghost-a-palooza.

Alaric

Well, not every ghost has a reason to come back to Mystic Falls. Just the ones like me, looking after their idiot best friends.

Damon

I'm more worried about the ones looking out for their enemies.
