Stefan: "Yeah. I read something about an accident involving her car, but her body was never recovered."
Damon: "Yeah. She was a missing person and then just fell off of the face of the planet. The police assume she was dead because there was no reported activity on her credit cards or anything. It was like she never existed after that wreck. She supposedly tried to swerve around an animal in the road."
Stefan: "But, no animal was ever found either or any blood traces on her car anywhere."
Damon: "You want to know what I think happened on that scene."
Stefan: "Does she have any idea about any of this?"
Damon: "I never asked. It doesn't come up in every day conversation. Hey, how are you? Did your mom hit a vampire in the middle of the road? I think she was changed and walked away from the scene. What sounds good for lunch?"
He shakes his head at him like he's crazy or something.
Stefan: "One thing is for certain, if her mother was born in Mystic Falls and this whole crazy theory of yours is true, we knew her mother."
Damon: "You really are a buzz kill, you know. I was enjoying our being unknown here."
Stefan: "We still are unknown. Nothing has changed."
Damon: "Just my soul purpose for choosing this particular hospital in this particular town. I figured with the entire gothic vampire following around here, we'd just blend right in with the local legends and folk tales."
Stefan: "So, you think because Elizabeth's mother was made a vampire in Mystic Falls it automatically outs you as the number one vampire. That would mean she knew what you were and believed it. She doesn't believe in any of that crap."
Damon: "Yeah, Well, about that. I sort of may have inadvertently let it slip in her kitchen that we were vampires and you were the legendary Stefan Salvatore she's been reading about."
Stefan: "She's never met me. Why would you bring me up?"
Damon: "She was talking about the legends and reading them online and believing they were a hoot. I had to try to make it real for her. She couldn't go around with the disillusion that vampires are hilarious to read about. She had to realize we were serious. I even went into detail about how once we're invited into the home we can come back any time we want."
Stefan: "You have to realize she thinks you're absolutely insane right now. That girl doesn't believe any of that stuff as being real. You're some crazy guy who is obsessed with the Salvatore Legends she was joking about. You're just working really hard to undo all that work to hide your real identity."
Damon: "Maybe and maybe I am better off as some wacked job who is professing truth in those stories. It keeps my undead hide out of the frying pan and yours out of the fire. Besides, why the hell should she believe anything that comes out of my mouth? I'm a good actor who can improve about anything."
Stefan: "You just watch out. She's not going to just open up and talk about her mother with you and you can't just volunteer some random information until she brings it up. She already thinks your nuts. I don't want her thinking your psycho too."
Damon: "Oh, but I am a psycho. I'm the wicked brother who rips out people's throats or breaks their neck when they find out I'm a vampire or threatens our well being. Remember? Jessica has the real me down pat. She knows not to cross my path even if it is hypothetical."
Stefan: "We can't afford to screw up here. If her mother was born in Mystic Falls, she knew us and she probably has pictures of us somewhere."
Damon: "No. Elizabeth doesn't have any pictures of us or her mother. She was never told about what happened to her mother. Didn't I just say that earlier? The only way she knows anything is through legends and what she thinks is stories. Otherwise known as, she knows our whole life through Google search and researching the legends. Besides, if she never finds out I turned Mommy into a vampire then it's better for us. That worked so well with Elena and her mom."
Stefan: "That's exactly why I said we can't afford to screw up. You have to be careful with what you volunteer to her. I'm serious. If you're truly being honest about wanting to stay unknown, you can't just inadvertently say things to her."
Damon: "Why do you care? You're the one in hiding. I'm out in the real world getting to know the daughter of a vampire."
Stefan: "I care if you hurt people. You know that."
