Ellie: Stephanie, he cheated on you! This is crazy to me that you’re still defending him. You should have dumped that guy right on the spot but you didn’t. And now you’re hurt and I have to pick up your pieces of yet another disaster relationship.
Steph: What? Is this coming from you, the expert? You think a relationship is when you get the guy’s last name.
Ellie: Wow… you know what? screw you.
Steph: Nice.
“We’re the goddamned hottest vampire hunters ever.”
Rose: “Are you lost, little girl? The elementary school’s over on west campus.”
Mia: “Don’t you ever touch me again. You screw with me, and I’ll screw you right back.”
Oh man, what an opening that was.
Rose: “And if you mess with either of us again, I’ll break you in half. If you don’t believe me, go ask Dawn Yarrow about what I did to her arm in ninth grade. You were probably at nap time when it happened.”

Lissa: “No. Of course not.”
Rose: “Good. Because if you’re going to go after a guy, steal Aaron back.”
Lissa: “Mia would claw my eyes out.”

Dimitri: “You and I will both be Lissa’s guardians someday. I need to protect her at all costs. If a pack of Strigoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her.”
Rose: “I know that. Of course that’s what you have to do.”
Dimitri: “No. If I let myself love you, I won’t throw myself in front of her. I’ll throw myself in front of you.”
