Klaus and Caroline in “Unfinished Business”

Klaus

So the quarterback has been saved. What now?

Caroline

Don't you have a dying girl to go punish for all of her sins?

Klaus

I do, but I won't for you.

Caroline

So you came all the way to Mystic Falls just to back off when I ask you to?

Klaus

No. I came all the way to Mystic Falls to gloat over a corpse to be, as you so poetically put it, but I will leave minus the gloating in return for one small thing.

Caroline

And what is that?

Klaus

I want your confession.

Caroline

My confession? I didn't do anything. Confession about what?

Klaus

Me. As soon as we're done here, I'm gonna walk away, and I'm never coming back. You'll never again have to look me in the eye and cover our connection with hostility and revulsion. You'll never have to loathe the darkest parts of yourself that care fore in spite of all I've done. I will be gone, and you will be free. I just... Want you to be honest with me.

Caroline

I'm in college. I'm building a life for myself. I have plans and a future and things that I want, and none of those things involve you, ok, none of them.

Klaus

I see.

Caroline

No, you don't because, yes, I cover our connection with hostility because, yes, I hate myself for the truth, so if you promise to walk away like you said an never come back, then, yes, I will be honest with you. I will be honest with you about what I want.

Klaus

I will walk away, and I'll never come back, I promise.

Caroline

(steps closer) Good. (kisses Klaus)
