Quotes
Stefan: (to Damon) “What happened to the guy who thought Elena should embrace being a vampire?”
Damon: (to Stefan) “THAT guy got his neck snapped in New York, and she’s a pain enough as it is.”
Stefan: (to Rebekah) “You have no chance to finding this cure.”
Silas: (in Caroine’s body, to Klaus) “I will bring you nothing but misery.”
Elena: “I think I just found Katherine.”
Elena: (to Katherine) “Give me the cure, now.”
Katherine: (to Elena) “Yeah, like that’s gonna happen.”
Damon: “Looks like we have a winner.”

Damon: “If they so much as even scratched the paint on my car…”
Stefan: “Why don’t you just be grateful Sheriff Forbes was able to track down the car after you let them…Mmh… You know…Steal it from you?”
Damon: “Remind me to send her some mini muffins. Do we really need ten gallons of gas or do you making me just lag this around as punishment?”
Stefan: “They ditched your car after they ran out of fuel; we gotta fill it up. We’ve got 100 miles before we get to Willoughby.”
Damon: “Yeah, well, I don’t remember that name from the list of places I got in NY.”
Stefan: “Ah, the list. You mean the list they stole from right under your nose after you let your guard down? They’ll be there. Sheriff Forbes tracked down the car they stole after yours.”
Damon: “Screw the muffins, I’ll get her champagne if Elena is wherever it may be.”
Stefan: “Willoughby. Cream Corn Capital of Pennsylvania. They’ll be there. Let’s just hope we get to them before they get to the cure.”
Damon: “Oh silver lining. If Rebekah takes the cure, then she is mortal. We can just kill her right then and there.”
Stefan: “Oh! Dark cloud. Elena stays a vampire forever. Look, why don’t you just table your revenge fantasies for now and just keep your eye on the prize? Find Katherine, get the cure, get out before you get your neck snapped … Again.”
Damon: “Believe me I learned my lesson. Elena without humanity is a stone cold bitch, and I won’t trust her until we get the old Elena back.”
Stefan: “Look at that. We are finally on the same page about something.”
Damon: “Look at that.”

Rebekah: “You know it’s funny, I’ve always been a little envious of the legend that is Katherine Pierce. The way you could wrap a man around your little finger. The way Elijah betrayed Klaus for you. The way the Salvatore brothers stumbled head over heels for you. And yet, here we are, all these years later, in a town that you have to compel into liking you. (laughs) Oh! I’m sorry. I shouldn’t laugh. It’s really more sad than funny.”
Katherine: “You know you can’t split the cure with Elena, right?”
Rebekah: “She doesn’t want it.”
Katherine: “Oh, no? But, you do. You wanna take it? Are you really that dumb or just naturally blonde?”
Rebekah: “I want a normal life again.”
Katherine: “You mean you want a do-over. Well guess what? You can’t have it. The cure will only take away your immortality. Everything else you hate about yourself, you’ll still wake up with that in the morning, and you won’t even be able to compel yourself a friend.”
[Rebekah grabs Katherine’s wrist and twists it hard]
[Stefan and Damon appear]
Stefan: (To Rebekah and Katherine) “Ladies, playing nice?”
[Damon sits down]
Katherine: “There goes the neighborhood.”
