- Valerie Tulle: [three years from now, to Stefan:] If anything happens to you, I will rain hell down upon anyone responsible.
- Damon Salvatore: [at Lily's grave] Well, this it? The whole funeral party?
- [to Nora:]
- Damon Salvatore: Where's your girlfriend?
- Nora Hildegard: Not your concern.
- Damon Salvatore: [gleefully] Trouble in paradise?
- Stefan Salvatore: What about Julian? Where is he?
- Nora Hildegard: I haven't heard from either of them in days. I sided with Lily, or did you forget?
- Valerie Tulle: It's just us. Beau couldn't bring himself to say goodbye.
- Damon Salvatore: Ah, I'm sure he just couldn't find the right words to say.
- [scoffs]
- Damon Salvatore: All right, let's get 'er done.
- Stefan Salvatore: Wait! We should say something.
- Damon Salvatore: No, we shouldn't.
- Nora Hildegard: Yes, we should.
- [Damon hurries her up to make speech:]
- Nora Hildegard: When I was a girl, I loved my mother deeply. She loved me too, until she found out about my little siphoning problem. If she only knew that was just one of the little things that made me different. When she turned her back on me, I thought I would never find that kind of love again.
- [to the coffin:]
- Nora Hildegard: You proved me wrong. Thank you, Lily.
- Damon Salvatore: [impatiently] Next.
- Valerie Tulle: [to the coffin] You knew me at my brightest and darkest. No matter what my mood, you always saw the light in me.
- [her hand touches the lid]
- Valerie Tulle: I'll miss you, Lily.
- [has little bouquet of flowers]
- Stefan Salvatore: Cream violets. You remembered.
- Valerie Tulle: Of course I did.
- [they share a special moment]
- Stefan Salvatore: Thank you.
- Valerie Tulle: We'll leave you two.
- [she goes off with Nora]
- Nora Hildegard: [gave a little girl good advice] What? Surprised I'm not massacring the leukemia patients?
- Bonnie Bennett: It's still early.
- Nora Hildegard: [blonde doll reminds her of Mary Louise] This looks just like her.
- [Bonnie grabs the doll away from her]
- Nora Hildegard: What?
- Bonnie Bennett: You and Mary Louise broke up.
- Nora Hildegard: She made her choice. It was a bad one. But...
- Bonnie Bennett: But no "buts." You need to move on and become your own person. You can only do that if you're living in the present, not the past. Which means you need to stop thinking about her and talking about her, okay? She's dead to you.
- Mary Louise: [at far end of hallway] Am I?
- [to Nora:]
- Mary Louise: Can we talk?
- Mary Louise: Well?
- Nora Hildegard: Well, what?
- Mary Louise: Aren't you going to apologize?
- Nora Hildegard: Am I going to apologize? For what?
- Mary Louise: For telling me that you would marry me and then throwing the ring I gave you back in my face.
- Nora Hildegard: Oh, you mean the ring Julian gave you?
- Mary Louise: Is that what's bothering you?
- Nora Hildegard: He's the reason LIly is dead.
- Mary Louise: No, he's not.
- [shakes her head]
- Mary Louise: Julian's just as upset as any of us. Valerie's story is responsible.
- Nora Hildegard: You still believe him. He's a liar, why can't you see that?
- Mary Louise: If I say he's a liar,
- [imploring:]
- Mary Louise: can we go back home? I'm tired of fighting.
- Nora Hildegard: So am I.
- [with a lot of hurt]
- Nora Hildegard: I'm done... Mary Lou. Okay? It's over.
- Mary Louise: You've been wanting this for a long time, haven't you? Almost like you've been planning it all along!
- Nora Hildegard: You're paranoid.
- Mary Louise: Am I?
- [shakes her head]
- Mary Louise: It took you no time... to enroll in classes, move into a dorm, make friends with our enemies...
- Nora Hildegard: [angrily] Have you been following me?
- Mary Louise: I have been following someone. But she certainly hasn't been acting like my girlfriend.
- Nora Hildegard: I wanted to do something different with you, actually.
- [Mary Louise scoffs]
- Nora Hildegard: But you're too scared to go out into the world, too scared to change.
- Mary Louise: You think I'm scared to play Santa for some pathetic humans?
- Nora Hildegard: When was the last time you even did any charity?
- Mary Louise: [softly] I don't know.
- Nora Hildegard: Hmm?
- Mary Louise: Probably when I started dating you.
- [shoves purple My Little Pony toy into Nora's hands and storms out]
- Bonnie Bennett: [enters their dorm room to find Nora crying] I guess it didn't go well.
- Nora Hildegard: She called me a charity case.
- Bonnie Bennett: [sighs] Why don't I get you a tissue?
- Nora Hildegard: Oh, it's all right. I used one of your old hideous tops.
- Bonnie Bennett: Which is now your hideous top.
- [Nora chuckles]
- Bonnie Bennett: Can I ask you what might seem like a mean question?
- Nora Hildegard: Please, fire away. It's not like I'm in a fragile mood or something.
- Bonnie Bennett: What do you see in her? Aside from the fact that she looks like a blonde Angelina Jolie.
- Nora Hildegard: She's... loving, protective, kind.
- Bonnie Bennett: But just to you.
- [nods]
- Nora Hildegard: [sighs, sniffles] That's fair. She does... always think of me first. Maybe... I'm spoiled... or old-fashioned, but... It's nice having that one person who doesn't need anything from you. Who just... loves you. Who thinks you're the most amazing, beautiful girl in the whole world. You know?
- [realizes Bonnie doesn't relate to this]
- Nora Hildegard: Maybe, maybe you don't.
- Bonnie Bennett: I don't need someone to tell me I'm pretty.
- [chuckles]
- Nora Hildegard: Nobody needs it. That doesn't mean it doesn't feel good to hear it. Thank you... for today. You're a very kind person and... beautiful... even if you do wear hideous tops.
- Bonnie Bennett: [smiles] Hmm.
