Quotes
- Anna: (catching the tomb vampires up on the last 146 years) "What are you guys watching? You guys have been watching the same thing the whole time? There are over 150 channels, it's called a remote control. This button changes the channel... No, hold it like this."
- Damon: "I no longer have any desire to see Katherine... ever again. And there's no way in hell I'm going to play the role of your little minion."
- Pearl: "I'm not asking for your help, Damon. Finding Katherine was just a mere gesture of kindness. The rest is non-negotiable. (She gouges Damon's eyes out with her thumbs) I have four hundred years on you, little boy. I'll rip you from limb to limb without even blinking, and you know it. I'll be in touch."
- Elena: "Have you ever even been on a double date before?"
- Stefan: "Oh, absolutely. Uh... '72. Hef and the twins. I got Miss June."
- Kelly: "I love to see a man drown his sorrows. It's so sexy."
- Damon: "It's more like nursing my wounds. And you?"
- Kelly: "Well, I was supposed to be interviewing for the bartender's job, but, um, I think the manager blew me off."
- Jenna: "Don't be grumpy, it can't be that bad."
- Damon: "You'd be surprised. My primary reason for existence has abandoned me, and after today's events, the remains of the shaky ground I walk on are about to go kaboom... Let's get hammered."
- Matt: (in Stefan's living room) "Man, I always wanted to see what it looks like in this place."
- Stefan: "Yeah, I guess it's a.... bit much."
- Matt (laughs): "Yeah, my entire house could fit in here, like, twice."
- Jeremy: (enticing Anna with his blood to force her to reveal her vampire self to him): "Its just a cut. Anna, will you hand me that towel?"
- Anna: "Uh... Uh... I can't."
- Jeremy: "You got a problem with blood, Anna?"
- Jeremy: (to Anna after she fed on him) "Why didn't you... kill me?"
- Anna: "I don't know. Maybe I'm a sucker for guys like you."
- Jeremy: "Like what?"
- Anna: "Lost. Why would you confront me about it? Why would you risk it?"
- Jeremy: "Because if it was true... Maybe... maybe its true about Vicki. And also, because... I want you to turn me."
- Kelly: "Mattie, please."
- Matt: "Do you know what I was doing tonight, Mom? I was having fun. You know, trying to forget about all the crap I have to deal with every day... just enjoy a night with my friends. And then there you are, wasted at the bar—- where I work, by the way, to pay the bills that you don't pay-- and then, you're off acting like a freaking kid, hooking up with some guy half your age. I'm the kid, Mom. You're supposed to be responsible for me."
