The Vampire Diaries, Season 1

Damon:
Going somewhere?

John:
Never liked to be the last one to leave a party. It's too desperate. You gonna kill me again, or you gonna let Mr. Saltzman do your dirty work?

Alaric:
Okay. You obviously know who I am.

John:
I do. Alaric Saltzman, the high school history teacher with a secret.

Damon:
You sure know a lot for someone who just got to town.

John:
More than you can imagine, Damon. My knowledge of this town goes beyond anything that you, or you, or the council, knows. So, if you were planning on some clever, high speed, snatch-ring vamp kill-move, know that if I die, everything I know goes to the council - including the fascinating little tale of the original Salvatore brothers and their present-day return to Mystic Falls.

Alaric:
How did you get that ring?

John:
I inherited one. My brother, Gray, the other. This was his, although I wouldn't have given mine to Isobel had I known she'd hand it over to another guy.

Damon:
So you did know her?

John:
Who do you think sent her your way when she wanted to become a vampire?

Damon:
You sent her?

John:
Guilty. Why? Did you think someone else sent her? Maybe Katherine Pierce?

Damon:
How do you know about Katherine?

John:
How do I know anything, Damon?

Damon:
What do you want?

John:
So many questions...
