Quotes
Damon: (after waking up Bonnie from a coma) Sorry BonBon! Had to get you to wake up somehow. Catch me if you can!

Virginia (to Bonnie): “Whatever’s inside that vault, it wants out.”

Stefan: “Who’s next on my hit list?”

Damon: “What did you just do?”
Bonnie: “Kept my promise.”

Alex: “Run!”

Bonnie: “No one’s getting out.”

Damon: “I can live with Bonnie hating me. So as long as she lives.”

Damon: “How’s it going?”
Stefan: “Finished off the ones in Huntsville and Birmingham.”
Damon: “Ah good. Overachiever. Somebody taking out their aggression because Blondie left him on the from porch?”
Stefan: “Well Damon, you’re the authority on being hated, so why don’t you tell me how to deal with the situation?”
Damon: “Still mad, huh?”
Stefan: “I’m not mad, I’m just tired. Who’s next on my hit list?”
Damon: “Bloodsucker from the Age of Enlightenment. In and up in an MMA fighter. Dropping bodies all through the Polamalu state.”
Stefan “Doesn’t sound very enlightened.”
Damon: “It’s why I’m partnering you up with Donovan.”
Stefan: “Matt? He wants me dead. He released Rayna to kill me.”
Damon: “Bit extreme even for Donovan.”
Stefan: “Long story.”
Damon: “I don’t have time for a short story, Stefan. Listen, you two figure out your differences while killing this MMA fighter.”
Stefan: “Oh well, I guess I don’t really have much of a choice do I?”
Damon: “Stefan, answering your question about how to deal with being hated? Three little words: Just don’t care.”
Stefan: “It’s funny coming from a guy working so hard to save his friend’s life.”
Damon: “I can live with Bonnie hating me. So as long as she lives. I gotta go.”
Matt (to Stefan): “I’m driving.”

Rayna: “They’re close. They’re about to do-”
Caroline: “Oh. Nope. I got it. No need to elaborate. Okay. Thanks. Oh, that is five minutes of crazy I am never getting back. Okay, so this is what I got Rayna. The girl’s name is Ashlynn, the guy’s name is Wyatt. The rest of her visions are just…body parts.”
Alaric: “Killing spree?”
Caroline: “No. The body parts are Ashlynn and Wyatt’s. Because they’re…having sex. Just…just, lots and lots of..intense mind-blowing.. sex. Rayna was very descriptive.”
Alaric: “Oh. Well, that’s..that’s..good.”
Caroline: “Yeah.”
Alaric: “Well hopefully, the afterglow will distract them..and…I mean, should I even feel the slightest twinge of guilt about this one?”
Caroline: “No! We’re doing them a favour. Let them go out on a high note. Rip out their hearts before they inevitably do it to each other.”
Alaric: “That’s..that’s pretty bleak.”
Caroline: “Yeah.”
Alaric: “You’re okay with that?”
Caroline: “I’m fine.”
Alaric: “Look, if you wanna talk about Stefan, it’s okay right, you don’t have to pretend that he doesn’t exist. Especially, now that showing up on our doorstep.”
Caroline: “I didn’t have anything to say to him then and I don’t have anything to say about him now.”
Alaric: “Good.”

Damon (to Stefan): “She added a few more names to the list.”

Rayna: “Your magic’s back.”
Bonnie: “The pills are out of my system, which means the Armory is not far behind.”

Stefan: “Seriously, man. Whatever’s going on, let’s just get all out. I mean you blackmailed us into leaving our home. Wasn’t that enough?”
Matt: “Second best decision I ever made.”

Stefan (to Matt): “Do you really think that I would hurt Penny?”
