- Vicki Donovan: Why don't you have a girlfriend? You're like totally cool and so hot.
- Damon Salvatore: I know.
- Vicki Donovan: Don't you wanna be in love?
- Damon Salvatore: I've been in love. It's painful and pointless and overrated.
- Vicki Donovan: Except when it isn't.
- Elena Gilbert: What are you?
- [sighs]
- Elena Gilbert: *What are you?*
- Stefan Salvator: [takes a long time to answer] You know.
- Elena Gilbert: No. I don't.
- Stefan Salvator: Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here.
- Elena Gilbert: It's not possible.
- [shakes her head]
- Elena Gilbert: It can't be.
- Stefan Salvator: Everything you know... and every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?
- Elena Gilbert: *What are you?*
- Stefan Salvator: [another long silence] I'm a vampire.
- Vicki Donovan: I don't want this.
- Stefan Salvator: I know. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay. I can help you.
- Vicki Donovan: Is it better? Is it better, will I be better?
- Elena Gilbert: I gave you today just like you asked. And I understand that you would never to do anything to hurt me, and I promise I will keep your secret, but... I can't be with you, Stefan. I'm sorry I... I just can't.
- Stefan Salvator: I will love you forever.
- Katherine Pierce: Forever is a very long time, you know.
- Stefan Salvator: Not long enough.
- Vicki Donovan: [coming to] What happened? We were dancing, and then...
- Damon Salvatore: And then I killed you.
- Vicki Donovan: What?
- Damon Salvatore: You're dead.
- Vicki Donovan: [gasps as she struggles to stand up] I'm dead?
- Damon Salvatore: Yeah, let's not make a big deal out of it. You drank my blood, I killed you, and now you have to feed in order to complete the process.
- Vicki Donovan: [groans] You're wasted.
- [groans as she gets up, staggers]
- Damon Salvatore: You don't wanna be out there all alone. You're about to get really freaky.
- Vicki Donovan: Look, I had a really good time. I just wanna go home.
- Damon Salvatore: You're gonna start craving blood. Until you get it, you're gonna be very out of it. You have to be careful.
- Vicki Donovan: [brushes past him] Come on, move.
- [looks like she's going to be sick]
- Damon Salvatore: [smirks] See, you're already starting to fall apart.
- Vicki Donovan: And I'm going home now.
- Damon Salvatore: Okay, fine, I'm just warning you. Actually, you know what? You should go. In fact, if I were you, I would stop by your boyfriend Jeremy's house.
- Vicki Donovan: Yeah, whatever, bye.
- Damon Salvatore: Tell Elena I said "hi". And if you see Stefan, tell him to call me.
- [she stumbles off, and he smirks]
- Vicki Donovan: What did you give me?
- Damon Salvatore: Some blood. You loved it.
- Vicki Donovan: I did?
- [he nods]
- Vicki Donovan: Wait, I'm... confused. How did we get here?
- Damon Salvatore: We met in the woods. You were drunk. I attacked you. Then I killed all your friends, and brought you here. I gave you some blood. You loved it. And now we're gonna party till the sun comes down.
- Vicki Donovan: Okay, uhm, but first, can I have another... hit? That blood was so good.
- Damon Salvatore: Only if I can.
- [she eagerly offers him her wrist]
- Elena Gilbert: You know what's wrong with her?
- Stefan Salvator: Yeah. She's transitioning.
- Elena Gilbert: Transitioning to what?
- Stefan Salvator: A vampire.
- Elena Gilbert: What?
- Stefan Salvator: Damon must have gotten to her. She's new, she hasn't completed her transformation yet.
- Elena Gilbert: How... how does she do that?
- Stefan Salvator: She has to feed on human blood.
- Elena Gilbert: And what if she doesn't?
- Stefan Salvator: She'll die.
- Damon Salvatore: [looking at the wound on Vicki's neck] I got you good, didn't I?
- [she groans]
- Damon Salvatore: Well, you're not gonna be any fun today.
- [finishes drink, looks at her]
- Damon Salvatore: I'm so gonna regret this.
- [prepares to allow her to feed on him]
- Elena Gilbert: [while seeing in her mind's eye the past events] Dear Diary, I'm not a believer. People are born, they grow old, and then they die. And that's the world we live in. How can I deny what's right in front of me? Someone who never grows old, never gets hurt, someone who changes in ways that can't be explained? Girls bitten, bodies drained of blood?
- Vicki Donovan: My Mom spends most of her time in Virginia Beach with Pete.
- [with distaste:]
- Vicki Donovan: He drives trucks. I don't remember my Dad, but from what I gather, he's not worth remembering.
- Damon Salvatore: [very insincere] Your life is so upsetting.
- Vicki Donovan: Yeah. I'm the screwed-up one. Matt has it *so* easy. He's the golden boy. I mean, he's gonna get a football scholarship and marry Elena and... have a lawnmower and some babies...
- [sighs]
- Vicki Donovan: When I think of my future, I just come up *blank.*
