Klaus: At the ball, I spot Caroline as soon as she enters. I'm pleased she's wearing the gown I gave her, but frankly, I'd be just as happy if she walked in naked. Wait. That's not what I meant (although it's true). I'm smitten, is what I'm saying.
Caroline: I need a drink, is what I'm saying.
Pinched Nerve in Recapper's Back: Psst, Cindy, Caroline has a point, is what I'm saying.
Recapper: I know. But I'm not quite twenty minutes into this thing, is what I'm saying.
Gentle Readers: Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink, is what we're saying.
Recapper's Husband: Fine. Fine. I'll make a packy run, is what I'm saying.
Recapper: God bless you, is what I'm saying.
Elena: I manage to shake both Salvatores for a second, so Finn Mikaelson introduces himself to me, points out I've brought along not one, but two uninvited guests, and makes it clear his mother wants to meet with me, alone.
Elijah IN A TUX: Hello, darlings. As if I weren't perfection, before, right? Have some champagne while I blather about some white-washed family history, then please join me, in the ballroom, for our first waltz of the evening.
Audience: We will go anywhere with you.
Elena: I see Esther making her way upstairs, but when I start to follow her, Damon gets in my face.
Damon: Don't even think about it.
Elena: YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, DAMON!
Damon: It would be rude not to dance, you know.
Recapper: Will there be OMG-EYESEX, like at the Miss Mystic Falls bash?
Elena: Probably not. We're both in a mood. But I am giving Damon a little eye-foreplay, and a stifled smile, as I agree to dance. When he takes my arm in his, I roll my eyes in that, "What am I going to do about you," way.
Stefan: *Stares*
Damon: when the dance begins, I tell Elena, "You look stunning, if it isn't obvious." She nods. Her voice is soft when she thanks me.
Half the fandom: I hate her freaking gown.
Other half: I love her freaking gown.
Recapper: I'm fine with it, and Dobrev looks as lovely as ever, but I'd really like to see her in more of a color. Oh shoot me. I've just turned into everyone's grandmother. Haven't I?
Gentle Readers: We didn't want to mention, but yeah you have.
