Chicago

Klaus and Stefan get out of a car. Sky is holding Klaus's hand.

Klaus: Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan.
Stefan: What are we doing here?
Klaus: I know how much you loved it here. Bringing back memories of the good old ripper days?
Stefan: Blacked out most of them. A lot of blood, a lot of partying. The details are all a blur.
Klaus: Well, that is a crying shame. The details are what make it legend.

A few minutes later...

Klaus: Chicago was magical.
Stefan: Yeah, well, I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I don't remember most of it.
Klaus: Going to get down to business, then?
Stefan: Why am I still with you? We had our fun, your hybrids failed. I mean, don't you want to move on?Klaus: We're going to see my favorite witch. If anyone can help us with our hybrid problem, it's her.


Klaus walks over to the car door which is being held open by one of his minions.

Gloria's Bar

Klaus, Sky and Stefan enter the bar. It's  quiet and empty.

Klaus: Looks familiar, doesn't it?Stefan: I can't believe this place is still here.
Gloria: You got to be kidding me.

Klaus smiles.

Klaus: So a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender...
Gloria: Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny.

Sky giggles.

Sky: She is funny.
Gloria: Of course I am sweetheart.

She looks at Stefan.

Gloria: I remember you.
Stefan: Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be...
Gloria: Old and dead? Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?
Klaus: Gloria's a very powerful witch.
Gloria: I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to me one day.
Klaus: Stefan, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?
Stefan: Yeah, sure thing.

He goes to the bar. Klaus looks at Gloria.

Klaus: You look ravishing, by the way.
Gloria: Don't. I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels.
Klaus: So what am I doing wrong? I broke the curse.

Stefan is using his super hearing to eavesdrop.

Gloria: Obviously you did something wrong. Look, every spell has a loophole, but a curse that old...We'd have to contact the witch who created it.
Klaus: Well, that would be the original witch. She's very dead.
Gloria: I know. And for me to contact her, I'll need help. Bring me Rebekah.

Stefan notices a photo on the wall and pulls it off to look at it.

Klaus: Rebekah. Rebekah is a bit preoccupied.
Gloria: She has what I need. Bring her to me.

Stefan looks up from the photo.

Stefan: What is this?
Klaus: Well, I told you, Stefan. Chicago's a magical place.
Stefan: But this is me. With you.
