– A Quick Glimpse Behind the Scenes –

The Fiancee: So what do you want to do tonight?

Thomas: Well, Vampire Diaries is on, and then Grey’s , if it isn’t a rerun, then I’ll probably write my recap, and by that time I’ll be ready for bed…

The Fiancee: Oh… you know, your recaps are usually funnier when you sit on them for a day or so.

Thomas: …

The Fiancee: You know, to give it time to percolate…

Thomas: …

The Fiancee: They’re still awesome!

Thomas: …

The Fiancee: They’re just… awesome-er… when you wait.

Thomas: …harumph .

– Alaric’s House of Body Snatchers –

Klaularic: God this guy’s wardrobe sucks… so, should I go with “Eddie Vedder” or “Johnny Cash”?

Katherine Pierce: Oh the dark colors are way better on you. They make you seem… noble, and trustworthy, and not at all vindictive.

Klaularic: Sweet! Say, could you go ahead and stab yourself repeatedly in the leg?

Katherine Pierce: …um…

Klaularic: Loooook into my eyyyyyyyyyyes! </dracula>

Katherine Pierce: Fine. Pout. Self-stab. Pout.

Klaularic: Thanks babe! Well, I’m going to go see if I have to murder Bonnie because she’s a threat, or just because she’s annoying. You go ahead and entertain yourself with the self mutilation. TTFN!

Katherine Pierce: Worst. Day. Ever. Self-stab.

– Castle Salvatore – Elena’s House of Safeness –

Andrew J. Poindexter, Esq: So if you’ll just sign here, and pay roughly a billion dollars in capital gains taxes, you’ll be the proud new owner of a brand new slightly used castle!

Bonnie Bennet: Wow… so who has to clean this place?

Elena Gilbert: Oh, I’ll just tell Stefan that the dust might murder me with asthma or something, and he’ll take care of it.

Bonnie Bennet: That works?

Elena Gilbert: How do you think I got out of all those English exams? “Steeeefaaaaan! Reading is haaaaaaard! Pout!” “Loooook into my eyyyyyyyyyyes!” “She gets an ‘A’!”

– Castle Salvatore – Porch of Plotting –

Damon Salvatore: So, do you really think Bonnie can take Klaus?

Stefan Salvatore: Of course! I mean, it’s not like her powers have ever failed or proven insufficient for plot-convenient reasons before!

Damon Salvatore: What about Katherine? You think she’s dead?

Stefan Salvatore: Sure! I mean, it’s not like Klaus would keep her alive for two or three centuries just to torture her, would he?

Damon Salvatore: …

– Castle Salvatore – Damon-Proof Doorway –

Elena Gilbert: Hi guys! How’s it going?

Stefan and Damon Salvatore: …

Elena Gilbert: Oh, right! Stefan, come on in!

Damon Salvatore: …

Elena Gilbert: Oh, yeah! So Damon, if I invite you in, do you promise to do whatever I say, and stop telling lies, and stop eating people, and stop hiding Stefan’s hair gel?

Damon Salvatore: No, but I will watch you while sleep. And possibly shower.

Elena Gilbert: Good enough! Come on in!

Bonnie Bennet: Okay Elena, ready for school?

Stefan Salvatore: Really? You haven’t been to school in six months, and now that Klaus is in town and all sacrifice-ey, you want to go out in public?

Bonnie Bennet: I’m a witch! I can protect Elena with my brain!

Stefan Salvatore: …I’ll get my books.

– Chateau Forbes –

Sheriff Elizabeth Forbes: Hi Matt! Caroline actually went to school today, and you just missed her!

Matt Donovan: Oh, that’s cool. I actually came here to freak right out about the fact that your daughter and my girlfriend is a goddamn vampire.

Sheriff Elizabeth Forbes: Hey, you know what I bet would help you calm down? Taking Barbie-pire to the school dance!

Matt Donovan: …do all of your plans suck this bad?

– Mystic Falls High School – Classroom of Chaos –

Klaularic: So, does anyone remember where we left off? Or even what class this is?

Elena Gilbert: Dude, it was like six months ago. None of us remember what the hell you were talking about.

Everyone: …

Elena Gilbert: I meant, it was like six months ago, and none of us remember what the hell you were talking about, Mr. Saltzman .

Everyone: Told you she was boning him. They spend way too much time together for it to be normal.

– Mystic Falls High School – Quad of Quaking Terror –

Caroline Forbes: Hi Matt! I-

Matt Donovan: : -*

Thomas: Richest. Student. Government. Ever.

– Mystic Falls High School – Cafeteria of Confidentiality –

Jeremy Gilbert: So… I have concerns about this plan of yours. Specifically the part where it’s going to kill you.

Elena Gilbert: …Poop.

– Castle Salvatore – Elena’s Safe Wide Open House –

Stefan Salvatore: See! I told you it wasn’t safe to go to school!

Damon Salvatore: Whatever. We’ll go to the dance tonight, eat a couple of fat kids to carb up, kick his ass, and sleep with some cheerleaders. Who’s in?

Klaularic: Hi guys! I’m just going to walk across this threshold, in my totally human body, because there’s nothing at all mystical that would hinder my entrance!

Elena Gilbert: …you were a lot more normal when you were sleeping with Aunt Jenna. Anyway, what do we do when we find Klaus?

Bonnie Bennet: I’m a witch! I can kill Klaus with my brain!

Klaularic: Are you sure? I mean, Klaus is the strongest vampire in the world. And really smart. And rich. And handsome. I mean, that’s what I heard, anyway.

Bonnie Bennet: Supper Wiccan Damon tossing powers activate!

Stefan Salvatore: Well that settles it! I mean, if Bonnie can move a hundred and sixty pound body with her brain, she’s certainly powerful enough to kill a vampire that’s had roughly ten thousand years to grow in strength and tactical prowess!

Klaularic: This is going to be effing hilarious.

– Alaric’s House of Body Snatchers –

Klaularic: Well, I need to go murder a witch, and that means I need some vintage clothing. Like a tie-dye, or some bell bottoms, or… a crossbow, and a wooden stake, and wooden bullets… what the eff?

Katherine Pierce: Vampire hunter. Self-stab.

Klaularic: Neat. So Maddox, care to immolate a witch-bitch for me?

Maddox: No way dude… she’ll sense me coming a mile away. But , you could use the fact that she implicitly trusts you get her alone, and then cut her throat with the giant folding knife you carry around.

Katherine Pierce: Self-stab. Yes, take the knife. Please. Self-stab.

Klaularic: Or , I could engage in a risky-yet-brilliant gambit, attacking her in order to provoke her into using enough magic to kill herself!

Maddox: Jesus, it’s always the hard way with you. Fine, I’ll go prep the “prevent the boss from murdering himself with his idiot plan” spell. Again. goddamn vampires.

Katherine Pierce: Self-stab.

Caroline Forbes: Hi mom!

Sheriff Elizabeth Forbes: Hi there little bloodsucking fiend!

Caroline Forbes: Wait, what?

Matt Donovan: Hey, you ready for the dance, you demon-spawned hell beast?

Caroline Forbes: Wait, what?

The Fiancee: Why did she go with Jackie O? She’s definitely a Marilyn.

Caroline Forbes: Why does everyone hate me?

– Castle Salvatore – There’s a Salvation Army in the West Wing –

Stefan Salvatore: Are you sure you want to go to the dance?

Klaularic: …I kind of like this place!

– Mystic Falls High School – Parking Lot of Peril –

Jeremy Gilbert: Hi Bonnie! You should wear my Magic Ring of Not Dying!

– Mystic Falls High School – Hallway of Heartbreak –

Stefan Salvatore: Hey Jeremy, why so glum?

Elena Gilbert: Bonnie! I need to yell at you for trying to kill yourself to save me!

Damon Salvatore: Wall toss! Crazy eyes!

The Fiancee: I missed the crazy eyes!

– Mystic Falls High School – Parking Lot of Peril –

Klaularic: Hey girls! Klaus has Jeremy! You need to follow me down this dark, isolated hallway! Creepy smile!

Klaularic: Okay, they’e right over here…

Elena Gilbert: Wait, something’s wrong… you haven’t talked about sexing Aunt Jenna all night! You aren’t Alaric… you’re Klaus!

Klaularic: Really? That’s what tipped you off? All right then. Can we do the murder dance now?

Bonnie Bennet: Boy can we! Supper Wiccan Klaularic smashing powers activate!

Damon Salvatore: So… Elena, why don’t you go find my buzzkill brother… I need to talk to Bonnie…

– Mystic Falls High School – Break Room of Bonnie-cide –

Klaularic: So… do you want to do this the easy way, or the hard way?

Klaularic: Um, not to ruin the fun, but you’ve got a little blood right… everywhere.

Bonnie Bennet: Dies.

Thomas: Refuses to celebrate prematurely.

Damon Salvatore: You guys take off… I’ll deal with the body.

Stefan Salvatore: You should have let us in on your plan! Elena was sad for like five whole minutes!

Damon Salvatore: See, that’s why I didn’t tell you. Because you would’ve never been able to do it. Don’t get me wrong, Stefan, I don’t mind being the bad guy. I’ll make all the life and death decisions, while you’re busy worrying about collateral damage. I’ll even let her hate me for it… But at the end of the day, I’ll be the one to keep her alive.
