Episode: “Pictures of You”
Writer: Neil Reynolds & Caroline Dries
Bonnie (to “Jeremy”): “I was thinking about the last thing I said to you — ‘We did it’ — totally lame last thing to say to someone.”
Damon: “We lost count of the consecutive days in which Elena Gilbert hasn’t killed anyone. I’d say that’s progress, brother.” Stefan: “So what are we gonna do, just uh throw the football around for another 150 years till Elena gets her humanity back? Because I’m cool with that.”
Damon: “So what’re we gonna do? Pull a Lexie, bombard her with emotions till one of them sticks?” Stefan: “Yeah and if that doesn’t work then we go to Plan B — lock her up and keep her sidelined until you and I figure out a Plan C.”
Elijah: “Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness.”
Klaus: “When you’re sick and dying and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me.”
Elijah: “Rebekah, it’s no secret that you are impulsive, emotional, and at times, morally questionable.”
Elijah: “I want you to live a day as a human. This day. No vampire privileges — no strength, no compulsion, no nothing. If you succeed and you still believe that this is what you want — the cure is yours.”
Elena (to a “human” Rebekah): “You realize you won’t even be able to compel yourself a date, right?”
Bonnie: “Um, you look super hot, by the way.” Caroline: “You think?” Bonnie: “Oh yeah.” Caroline: “Yeah?” Bonnie: “Yeah. Matt and I are gonna have the sexiest date there.” Caroline: “You know what? I love Friend Prom. And it’s exactly what prom should be — friends and memories.”
Elena: “Hey, Bonnie. Heard you got your mind wiped. That sucks. Pretty dress, Caroline.” Caroline: “I know. You helped me pick it out months ago…when we were friends…before you tried to kill me.” Elena: “I thought it was familiar.”
Elena: “I don’t need a babysitter.” Stefan: “Really? Because the last time I saw you, you snapped a waitress’ spine.”
Damon: “Don’t eat the Prom Queen.”
Damon: “Beautiful dress.” Elena: “Thank you. I stole it.”
Caroline (to Klaus): “I don’t want just another dress. I want to look hot. Like Princess Grace of Monaco hot. So…could you please go back into your creepy trophy case of family collectibles and dig me out something of royal caliber?”
Matt: “Why do I feel like we’re at a practice run of Caroline’s wedding?” Bonnie: “Because I think we are.”
Damon: “You are underage.” Elena: “You’re overage, and honestly, it’s creepy.”
Damon (to Elena): “Yeah, well, hindsight is almost a bigger bitch than you.”

Elena: “You’re nothing to me, Damon.” Damon: “Really? Then why tell me you’re in love with me? Why tell me it’s the most real thing you’ve ever felt in your life?” Elena: “I told you I loved you because I was sired to you. And now that I’m not, I know that none of it was real. But if you still think that it was — I mean, maybe you’re the one that needs help with your emotions. Not me.”
Elena: “Spare me, Matt. If you had the choice, you would have turned your emotions off the second that Vicki died.”
Elena: “I thought you were going to bring Jeremy back but it turned out, you were just a brainwashed crazy person. So, technically? You’re a walking reminder of all the horrible things that have happened to me.”
Bonnie: “Caroline’s right. Elena’s gone.”
Bonnie: “Is this real?” Silas!Jeremy: “Does it matter? May I have this dance?”
Elena: “Let me go or I will bite you.” Stefan: “Come on, I’m the one who hates to dance, remember?” Elena: “Yeah and now I finally see why.”
Stefan:”So this…us…you feel nothing?” Elena: “I feel nothing.” Stefan: “I don’t believe you.” Elena: “I don’t care.” Stefan: “So you don’t remember what it used to feel like when we would dance? When my hand would touch your waist?” Elena: “Nope.” Stefan: “What about this…when our fingers would touch?” Elena: “Nothing.” Stefan: “And this? Does your heart really refuse to remember?” Elena: “What heart?”
Caroline: “I know you said to kill her with kindness but can’t I just kill her?” Stefan: “I see you found a dress.” Caroline: “It’s from Klaus.” Stefan: “Hmm…” Klaus: “Don’t ask.” Stefan: “You know you have him wrapped around your little finger, right?”
Caroline: “Are you making any progress with the dress thief?” Stefan: “I don’t know. I think it’s affecting me a whole lot more than it’s affecting her.”
Caroline: “I think that someday, you’ll meet someone new and you’ll fall madly in love and you’ll have moved on without even realizing it.”
Elijah: “As your family, as your only living brother, I would ask that you would provide me this opportunity to feel, to care, to love.” Klaus: “I gave you that opportunity. And you sided against me. So if I run, it’ll be to chase her [Katherine]. And as your only living brother, I will make it my cause that you never know a moment of happiness.” Elijah: “It is such a hollow little life that you lead, eh Klaus?”
Matt: “You haven’t seen Bonnie, have you?” Rebekah: “She’s probably in the bathroom. Every other girl is.”
Matt: “I don’t understand why my opinion is so important to you.” Rebekah: “Because you’re everything that I want to be. You’re loyal, honest, kind, people root for you to succeed. Elena even died for you.” Matt: “I’m a busboy, Rebekah. OK? It’s not like I’m out saving the world.” Rebekah: “But you’re human. You’re so beautifully human.”
Caroline: “Aren’t you on ‘Save Elena’ duty?” Damon: “I’m taking a little breather.” Caroline: “This prom sucks.”
Elena: “I’m not worried about my enemies. It’s people like Alaric and Jeremy. The Salvatore brothers are annoying as it is. Can you imagine if my brother came back to the living? He’d spend every waking hour trying to get my humanity back.”

April: “Your prom king and queen are…Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett.” Rebekah: “Bonnie Bloody Bennett…of course.” Elena: Everybody’s so worried about Silas but there’s an obvious solution to all of this. He needs Bonnie. He can’t do the spell without her. So if you can’t kill Silas, kill his witch.”
Tyler: Caroline Forbes, may I please have this dance?”
Silas!Stefan: “I mean…I don’t mean to be a dick, Damon, but…Elena and I have a history, memories, laughs, ups and downs. It was a real relationship. I mean, what you have is just a…one night stand that was probably the result of a sire bond.”
Damon (to Stefan): “Let me guess, an extremely handsome man came up to you claiming to be me.”
Stefan: “You OK?” Bonnie: “No, I’m not OK. I almost died. The shell of my best friend almost killed me. None of this is OK.”
Stefan: “Plan B.”
Matt: “And maybe I was a little harsh earlier. You wouldn’t make the worst human.” Rebekah: Are you offering me a job as a busboy? You know, I’d look cute in an apron.” Matt: “We’ll see.”
Rebekah: “Elijah, do not take your eyes off that cure.” Elijah: “I think it might be a little late for that.”
Caroline (to Tyler): “Thank you for the best prom ever.”
Stefan: “So what’s the plan?” Damon: “When Bonnie was wailing on her tonight, I could see it in her eyes. Elena thought she was gonna die. She was scared.” Stefan: “Fear.” Damon: “Last time I checked — one of those pesky human emotions.” Stefan: “So Plan C. Make her life a living hell.”
Damon: “What did he [Silas!Damon] say to you anyway?” Stefan: “He led me out in the woods claiming he saw Silas. And then he staked me. How did he get to you?” Damon: Talked about his hair. I figured it had to be you.” Stefan: “Funny.”
The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 8/7c on the CW.
