Ext, Tree lined street. Mystic Falls
Damon walks Elena to school.
Elena: Who’s John Lennon?
[Damon stops]
Damon: What did you just ask me?
Elena: John Lennon. Who is he?
Damon: Jesus Christ, Elena. Please tell me you’re joking.
[Elena looks at him.]
Elena: It was an ernest question, Damon.
Damon: Holy shit.
Elena: Whatever, Damon.
[ Elena turns to walk off.]
Damon: Elena, stop.
[Elena turns back.]
Damon: You really don’t know who John Lennon is?
Elena: Damon, please. Who is he?
[Damon pauses]
Damon: You’ve never heard of the Beatles?
Elena: They had a TV show, right?
Damon: No. You’re thinking of the Monkeys.
Elena: No. I’m pretty sure they had their own TV show.
Damon: No, Elena. They did not have their own TV show. They were a rock band. One of the greatest rock bands of all time. If not thee greatest.
Elena: You’re positive they didn’t have their own TV show.
[Damon, frozen.]
[Elena looks at Damon]
Elena: I’m kidding, Damon. Do you really think I’m that stupid?
The White Album is one of my all time favorite records.
[Damon at a loss.]
Elena: Stefan would know that… Forget it, Damon. I’ll walk myself to school.
[Elena pivots, and walks off.]
