Webclip 1
 * Stefan: "Hey, here you are. Any luck?
 * Caroline: "I searched the whole school. She should be here. (Strange sound behind Caroline) What was that?"
 * Stefan (Stefan and Caroline go into another room. Another strange sound. Caroline pulls a fridge-freezer's door): "Hum, ice is melting."
 * Caroline (She closes the door): "This doesn't make any sense. This is the center of the triangle. If she's gonna do the spell, she has to do it here. This is where they should be."
 * Stefan (He looks down towards a hole in the floor through which water is falling): "Actually, I think we're in the right place, just in the wrong elevation."

 * Caroline: "You're done? I'm only on my second batch."
 * Elena: "We have family friends in Denver... other than that, nobody cares that I'm graduating. And to be honest, neither do I."
 * Caroline: "I know that's how you feel now, but once you get through this hating Katherine phase-"
 * Elena: "Wait. Do you know where Katherine is?"
 * Caroline: "No. Why would I know where she is?"
 * Elena: "Yeah, but Caroline, if you did you would tell me, right?"
 * Caroline: "Elena, you're obsessing."
 * Elena (Grabs Caroline's arm): "Caroline, listen to me, if you know where Katherine is, you have to tell me."
 * Caroline: "I dont, Elena... chill."

Cultural References

 * "" is an American horror drama television series developed by Frank Darabont. It is based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. The series stars Andrew Lincoln as sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from a coma to find a post-apocalyptic world dominated by flesh-eating "walkers", resembling zombies. He sets out to find his family and encounters many other survivors along the way. The eponymous title of the series refers to the survivors, and not the zombies.
