Damon Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Jeremy

Damon...

Damon

You wanted to be a part of this? Well, here it is. Kill or be killed. The guy’s a werewolf - he’d kill me the first chance he got. So you suck it up, or leave. He wants me to kill him, anyway. Don’t you, Mason? It really is a curse, isn’t it? You know, I look at you and I see myself. A less dashing, less intelligent version.

Mason

I love her.

Damon

Oh, I know! I’ve been where you are. But Katherine will only rip your heart out. Let me do it for her.

Damon

All this for that?

Stefan

Yup. I see you've exercised your usual restraint.

Damon

Had to be done.

Stefan

Let's get rid of the body.

Damon

Ooo, last number dialed. I wonder who that could possibly be..

Stefan

No, no, no. Don't provoke her.

Katherine

Mason. You should have been here an hour ago.

Damon

Wrong boy-toy.

Katherine

Damon. For once, you’ve surprised me. I assume Mason’s with you.

Damon

He’s right beside me. Although his heart’s across the room.

Katherine

You shouldn’t have.

Damon

I’ve had a very busy day today. Killed a werewolf, found a moonstone. Hey, did you know that he hid the moonstone at the bottom of a well full of vervain? Guess he didn’t trust you very much. He did love you, poor guy. Hey, where are you? ’Cause, you know, I could bring him over. Last good-byes and all that.

Katherine

You've no idea what you’ve just done.

Damon

Aww, did I put a kink in your master plan? I’m so sorry.

Katherine

Do you honestly believe that I don’t have a plan B? And if that fails, a plan C, and then a plan D, and... you know how the alphabet works, don’t you? Send my love to Stefan.

Damon

Elena... I riled Katherine up. I...I wasn’t thinking. I didn’t think.

Elena

It doesn’t matter, Damon. She won. Katherine won.

Stefan

We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her.

Caroline

Can't we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?

Damon

No. Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm going to go to the masquerade ball and I'm going to kill her tonight.

Stefan

You're not gonna kill her.

Damon

Don't give me that goody-goody crap.

Stefan

You're not going to kill her...

Damon

Oh, really?

Stefan

...because I am.

Stefan

All right. If anybody wants to back out, I'll understand.

Damon

Yeah, cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong because someone chickens out. Caroline?

Caroline

I won't. She killed me, fair is fair.

Stefan

Are you sure you can do this?

Damon

Who are you talking to?

Stefan

I had the chance to kill her and I hesitated.

Damon

Well, that is the fork in the road between me and you, my friend. I don't hesitate.

Katherine

The three of us together, just like old times. The brother that loved me too much and the one that didn't love me enough.

Damon

And the evil slut vampire that only loved herself.

Katherine

What happened to you, Damon? You used to be so sweet and polite.

Damon

Oh, that Damon died a long time ago.

Katherine

Good. He was a bore.

Katherine

I'll have one of those.

Damon

(in a mocking tone) Right away, Miss Katherine.

Katherine

Good for you, Stefan, 2+2.And it would have worked, except that people found out that I wasn't in the tomb. Thanks to you. (turning to Damon) By the way, have I mentioned how inconvenient your obsession with me has been?

Damon

You and me both, honey.

Damon

Hello Katherine.

Katherine

Where am I?

Damon

Where you should have been all along. I thought you would have learned your lesson by now about messing with a Bennett witch.

Katherine

You should have killed me.

Damon

: Death would have been too kind.

Katherine

No, Damon, don't. Damon, don't. You need me. Elena's in danger.

Damon

From who? (pause, no response) You're lying, you're always lying.

Katherine

Why do you think I haven't killed her? She's the doppelganger. She needs to be protected.

Damon

Then I'll protect her - while you rot in hell.

Stefan

This has Katherine written all over it.

Damon

Katherine's in the tomb. Trust me. I'm the one that shut her in.

Stefan

Did you?

Damon

Did I what, Stefan?

Stefan

Well I know the hold Katherine has on you.

Damon

She's in the tomb. Period. End of story.

Stefan

We have to talk to her.

Damon

No, no. Let me tell you how that's gonna go. We're gonna go ask for her help, she's gonna negotiate her release, which we're gonna be dumb enough to give her and then she's gonna get out and kill us. That's exactly what she wants.

Stefan

I don't really care.

Damon

It's a bad idea, Stefan.

Stefan

It's Elena.

Jeremy

You can't just do this alone!

Damon

He's not. Let's go.

Stefan

You're coming?

Damon

It's Elena.

Damon

The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar.

Stefan

Well, it doesn't have to be an elephant. Let's talk about it.

Damon

There's nothing to talk about.

Stefan

That's not true, sure there is. Let's get it out. I mean, are you in this car because you want to help your little brother save the girl that he loves or is it-- is it because you love her, too?

Damon

Keep it up, Stefan. I can step out of helping as easily as I stepped in.

Stefan

Nope. See, that's the beauty of it. You can't.
