This week we're gonna set aside our regular curriculum for a lesson in local history, as we approach Founder's Day. Apparently, the community leaders feel that's more important than World War II. But, hey, what do I know?
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You were playing house with half of a tomb of really pissed-off vampires. What did you think was going to happen?
My mom is devastated. They tried to overthrow her.
Why isn't she here, telling me this?
She doesn't really do apologies.
Well, that's a coincidence, 'cause I don't do forgiveness.
You're making small talk. Why?
You seem awfully chipper, lately. Less doom and gloom - a little more pep in your step...
Stefan, let's be serious for a second. You spent the last century and a half being a poster child for Prozac, and now you expect me to believe that this "new you" has nothing to do with human blood? Nothing?
I'm clean.
You're lying!
Believe what you want.
Well, well...he's a liar and a thief. So, when were you gonna share?
Go ahead. Help yourself.
No, no, I'm talking about the fact that you're a closet blood junkie.
Just remember, we're trying to keep a low profile. Why don't you just walk up to Sheriff Forbes and ask her to tap a vein?
Have my actions negatively impacted you? Whoo... I can't imagine what that must feel like.
You've been off the human stuff for years, Stefan. If you're having trouble controlling...
I'm not having any trouble.
Who do you think you're talking to? I know what it's like! That "Jekyll and Hyde' feeling... There's that switch - sometimes it goes off and you snap...
I'm on the M.F. beautification committee, I volunteer at the rec center soup kitchen...
I recognize that I haven't been as involved, this year, as I used to be...
...I implemented this year's Go Green campaign at school...
I've been distracted, and I let a lot of things slide...
GA Girl
I don't think it's wrong for me to win two years in a row...
ABAmber Bradley
I was surprised to have been selected, since I'm not from one of the founding families...
...but I'm aware of what an honor this is, and I want you to know that I take it seriously...
...worked with the county's recycling program and was in charge of the policemen's yearly raffle...
TFTina Fell
...just because my D.U.I. made my community service mandatory doesn't mean I was any less committed...
...this was really important to my mother. She believed in community, family, honor, and loyalty. It's the legacy she left for me.
Hey, partner!
What do you want?
You haven't returned any of my calls.
Most people would take that as a hint.
I'll tell the entire council what you are.
Go for it! I'll kill every last one of them. Then I'll sever your hand, pull your ring off, and I'll kill you, too. Do you understand that?
This is ridiculous.
You're only saying that because you don't know how to do it.
Sorry only one of us was around when the dance was invented.
Ouch! (twirls Elena and dips)
LMrs. Lockwood
Oh - no! No, no, no. There's no touching during this part. It's about the simple intimacy of the near touch.
If you ask me, the "near touch" is over-rated.
And Amber Bradley is only on the court so the pageant doesn't look like it's founding families only, which, of course, it is. So that leaves Elena, and she totally has the sympathy vote, since her parents died. How can I compete with that?
Very nice. Very sensitive.
I remember this event from 1864. I was supposed to enter...before everything happened.
Ah, nostalgia's a bitch.
If you're just gonna mock me, could you move along, please?
Hey! You...can't be back here.
We need to talk.
Does it have to be right now?
Normally I would have a completely different outlook on what I'm about to tell you, but since it could really inconvenience me, I'll...squeal.
What are you talking about?
Stefan's still drinking human blood.
...What?
Yeah. (shrugs) A month ago, I would've rejoiced. But with the council back on the alert, it is not a good time for Stefan to fly off the handle.
I know he's been a little edgy, but, he said that was normal...
He has a fridge, full of stolen blood bank contraband, in the house.
Oh my God...
He has no idea what normal is - his entire existence isn't normal. Normal to a vampire is drinking human blood, but he's spent all this time fighting it, when he should have been learning how to control it. And now it's controlling him, instead.
You were basically using me to turn you into a vampire so you could be with someone else.
No, I wasn't using you.
Really? Then how would you like to define it?
(scoffs) I don't think it's any worse than becoming friends with me so we could give your mother my blood.
How do you know that?
It's not important.
Seriously, Jeremy. What do you know?
Everything. I know everything.
