Girl: Rudy. Rudy! Come on. It's too hot to make me come looking for you

(She turns herself. Klaus' here)

Klaus: I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you

Girl: Can I help you?

Klaus: Yeah, my, uh, my car ran out of gas a couple miles back. I feel like I've been walking forever. Yours is the first house I'd come to, so I was just hoping I could use your phone

Girl: Don't you have a cell phone?

Klaus: Heh. Yeah. Battery died. Look, I promise I'm not a serial k*ller. I just want to use your phone

Girl: Sure

Klaus: So...I can come in?

Girl: No. I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you

Klaus: I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting

Girl: I'm from Florida

Klaus: Well, that explains it

(He comes closer and strangles her. He compels her)

Klaus: Now show me a little Southern hospitality... Sweet pea

(Inside the houe. A girl is in the kitchen)

Girl 2: I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning

(The other girl comes in with Klaus)

Girl 2: What's going on?

Klaus: Please don't be alarmed. I'm told Ray Sutton lives here

Girl 2: He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly

Klaus: But I expect he makes it home... Once a month

(She doesn't answer)

Klaus: That's what I thought. Where is he now?

(She doesn't answer)

Klaus: If I have to make you tell me, it's going to be infinitely more painful for you

(He smiles. The girl run and tries to leave but Stefan is at the front door. Klaus and the othr girl rejoin them)

Klaus: I love it when they run

Girl 2: He's in Tulley. It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's off Highway 41

Klaus: Thank you, my love. Now...

(He looks at the other girl)

Klaus: May my friends come in your home?

Girl: Yes

(Stefan and chelsea enter)

Klaus: kill this one quickly

(He pushes the blond girl toward him and looks at the other one)

Klaus: Make that one suffer. we'll be in the car

Girl: Please don't, please...

(Stefan bites her. They both scream)

(Klaus is outside. He smiles and chelsea looks away in disapproval)

Jeremy: Ugh, early. Bad

Elena: It's not early. You're late for work. Matt just called

Jeremy: Well, maybe they'll fire me

Elena: Aim high

(She's on the phone with Caroline)

Elena: What are you doing?

Caroline: Just shopping for the party you're trying to bail out on

Elena: I never said yes in the first place

Caroline: You were never going to, which is why I planned it anyway. And my mom wants you to call her

Elena: Did she find something?

Caroline: An animal attack in Memphis. It's the third one this week in Tennessee

Elena: And you're sure it's a vampire?

Caroline: Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's Klaus

Elena: Doesn't mean it's not. I'll call her

Caroline: Well, call on her cell

Elena: Tell her, thank you for her help

Caroline: All right, well, I've got to go. I'll see you in a bit

Elena: O, Caroline, wait. Just...keep tonight small. Please

Caroline: Wear something pretty

(She hungs up. Elena is in the kitchen. Alaric and ethan are here)

Alaric: Was that, uh, Stefan and chelsea news?

Elena: Could be more Klaus victims

ethan: Are you certain Stefan and chelsea are still with him?

Elena: Easy to be certain when the alternative is that he's dead. Are you sure you're still ok on the couch?

Alaric: Yeah, yeah. I'm good

Elena: Because you spent half the summer on it. If you need your own bedroom...

Alaric: And sleep in your dead parents' room or my dead girlfriend's room...

Elena: Right

(She gives him a mug)

Alaric: Hey, Elena... Happy Birthday

Elena: Thanks

(She leaves)

(Damon is in the tub. Andie is getting ready. He pours himself some champagne)

Damon: We are out of champagne

Andie: Huh. No, you ar out of champagne, 'cause I don't drink in the morning

Damon: Well, would you be a dear and...

Andie: I think you can probably get it yourself. I'm not your slave

(He gets out of the tub)

Andie: I mean, you're dripping... a little

Damon: Mm-hmm

(He gets out of the room naked)

Damon: Mornin'

Elena: Hey, I was going...

(She turns herself and sees him naked)

Elena: Ohh!

(She turns herself)

Elena: You heard me. You knew that I was here

Damon: You know, you should learn to knock. What if I was... indecent?

(She takes a towel. Hides her eyes and throws it to him. He puts it around his waist. She takes her hand of and takes a paper from her pocket)

Elena: Sheriff Forbe gave us another location to check. Memphis

Damon: Another dead end, you mean?

Elena: You don't know that

Damon: You're right, Elena. This could be the one

(He gets closer)

Damon: After almost two months, this could be the clue that tells us Stefan and chelsea are alive and well and living in Graceland

Elena: Fine. I'll go by myself

(She tries to leave but he intercepts her)

Damon: And let Klaus know that you're tracking him? He thinks you're dead. Let's keep it that way

Elena: It's a new lead, Damon. We haven't had one in a while

Damon: Ok. I'll check it out. If find anything, I'll call you

Elena: But...

Damon: Which one, the Pensacola guy?

Andie: Uh-huh

Damon: You up for a road trip?

Andie: Ha. No can't do. I have got to work, but I can see if I can get you an address

(He kisses her)

Andie: See you at the party

Damon: Get me that address
