Zach Roerig: Matt Donovan

Quotes 

• Caroline Forbes : [on cellphone]  Yeah, I'm like an embedded journalist... only in history class.

  Matt Donovan : [smiles]  Slow news day?

  Caroline Forbes : Yeah, the school's doing a big ramp-up for Founder's Day. They specifically requested me for the alumni angle. But I was just calling to see what you're doing for lunch. You know, I could save you a seat in the cafeteria.

  Matt Donovan : Rain check. I'm on my way to the Armory to deliver the St. John box that Tyler left behind. Just doing Ric a favor. You doing okay?

  Caroline Forbes : I'm... fine. You know, this is only temporary. All of this is... temporary.

  [nods] 

  Matt Donovan : I'll tell you what.

  [smiles] 

  Matt Donovan : If you sneak into Coach Lyman's office and add something really rude in his playbook, drinks are on me tonight at the Grill.

  Caroline Forbes : [smiles]  "Something rude" like... impolite, or "something rude" like really disgusting?

  Matt Donovan : Dealer's choice.

  Caroline Forbes : [chuckles merrily]  You're on.

• Caroline Forbes : [on cellphone]  I'm fine. I just need to give Sybil the antique bell that your Dad threw off Wickery Bridge

  Matt Donovan : Wait, slow down. You lost me after "I'm fine."

  Caroline Forbes : [sighs]  When your dad lived in Mystic Falls, he took our charter bell to Wickery Bridge, and then threw it off the railing. And now Sybil wants it back. She says it's got sentimental value, or something.

  Matt Donovan : Wait. When was this?

  Caroline Forbes : 1992, according to the head-dive Sybil did on your Dad.

  Matt Donovan : Yeah, that makes sense.

  Caroline Forbes : Why?

  Matt Donovan : Wickery Bridge is where Elena's parents drove their car off the road. When the sheriffs dredged out the car, they found something else. The old charter bell. It was broken, but they saved it.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, let's hope they didn't sell it on eBay.

  Matt Donovan : No, your Mom had it in storage. I only know this because I cleaned out her office after the funeral.

  Caroline Forbes : All those boxes you brought over to the house, they're still in the garage.

  Sybil : Take me there! Now!

  Matt Donovan : Caroline, don't do it! You need to get away from her.

  Caroline Forbes : I don't have a choice, Matt, these kids are gonna kill each other.

  Matt Donovan : Wait, what kids? Where are you?

  Sybil : Matt! Hey! If you try to stop her from helping me, I send a psychic command and my students die anyway. If you come over to her house, my students will die. If I find out that anyone is trying to interfere...

  Caroline Forbes : Ugh. God, we get it. You really should have been a teacher.

  Sybil : Maybe that will be my second career. After you get me that bell!
