The Vampire Diaries, Season 1

Matt:
I yelled at my mom last night. You know, I feel like the parent with the screwed up kid.

Caroline:
Well, maybe she needed to hear it.

Matt:
Yeah, but I worry that if I push too hard then she'll take off again, 'cause that's her M.O. Just like Vicki, who I haven't heard from since she left.

Caroline:
Well, you can't control your mom, Matt, any more than you can control your sister.

Matt:
I wish that she would just try, a little, you know. If she would just try to try, that would be okay.

Caroline:
Maybe she'll surprise you. People have a tendency to do that. I should go before the roads get even worse from the storm.

Matt:
Are you sure that you should be driving right now?

Caroline:
I have to - it's my dad's boyfriend's daughter's birthday. We have a nontraditional traditional ritual.

Matt:
Well, buckle up.
