Quotes

Damon: "Yeah,I know.Find Markos,kill Markos.Save Mystic Falls."
Markos: "Nice place."
Damon: "It is polite to knock."
Maria: "Once the spell starts,magic will be stripped away,layer by layer."
Liv: "We have to kill Stefan and Elena."
Markos: "The spell has already begun."
Damon: "We have a problem."
Liv: "I'm sorry..One of you needs to die."
Caroline"So Julian is trapped inside Tyler forever, or until he dies. So, I was thinking.. what if he does die? You, know, maybe that's how we do it! That's how we get him out!"
Bonnie: "You want to kill Tyler?"
Caroline: "He'll go to the other side and then, when Liv does the spell to help you and Enzo, Tyler can come back. And speaking of, shouldn't you be, like, preparing, or talking to Liv? Or doing anything other than packing up our dorm room?"
Bonnie: "We have to be out of here right after finals, which I might skip, due to the potential extinction of magic in the place where I was spending my summer break."
Caroline"Right, but I think the other side falling apart is slightly more pressing than late housing fees."
Bonnie: "There is no spell.. I made it up. The other side is collapsing and everyone in it, including me, is going away for good. So no. I don't think you should kill Tyler."
Bonnie: "He said you promised to bring him back."
Enzo: "Ah. You're paraphrasing. He said, quote; "I will find a way."
Bonnie: "Whatever."
Damon: "Hello! Still here. And I know what I said."
Enzo: "Remind him that he doesn't have a very good track record for keeping promises."
Bonnie: "Please stop talking."
Enzo: "The the other side is on the brink of collapse. I plan on pestering all of you until I'm safely returned to the land of the living."
Bonnie: "You need to fix this before I lose my mind."
Damon: "Hey! I'm sorry. I've got two missing doppelgängers; I've got a traveler that wants to rid our town of magic; and I've got the friendly banker, Mr Sikes, in the coat closet. So your escape from the netherworld is going to have to wait till tomorrow."
Bonnie: "I think he wants to be penciled in for today."
