Damon Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Damon

Elena know you've been drinking blood?

Stefan

I've been drinking hers.

Damon

Hmm. How romantic.

Damon

Since we’re road trip bonding, remember the days when all you lived for was blood? You were the guy who’d rip someone apart for the fun of it.

Stefan

You mean when I was more like you?

Damon

Yes, Stefan. Exactly! Back when you put blood into me so I could be a big, bad vampire. I wonder if Elena would be so quick to open her veins to that guy. By the way, what happened to that guy? He was a hoot.

Stefan

I'm sorry.

Damon

About what?

Stefan

For being the guy that made you turn 145 years ago.

Damon

Enough, Stef. It's late. No need to rehash that.

Stefan

Well, you know what, I've never said it out loud. I guess I just need to say it and you need to hear it. I'm sorry. What I did was selfish. I didn't wanna be alone. Guess I just needed my brother.

Damon

I just...have to say something.

Elena

Why do you have to say it with my necklace?

Damon

Because what I’m about to say is...probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life.

Elena

Damon, don’t go there...

Damon

I just have to say it once - you just need to hear it. (pause) I love you, Elena. And it’s because I love you that...I can’t be selfish with you. And why you can't know this. I don’t deserve you. But my brother does. (kisses her forehead; pulls back to look at her face) God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do.

Elena

Okay, so you're saying is the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?

Rose

Yes.

Stefan

No.

Damon

What they are saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true..

Rose

Which it is.

Damon

...and you're not just saying it so we don't kill you...

Rose

Which I'm not.

Damon

...we're looking at a solid...maybe.

Damon

She's in denial.

Stefan

Shut up, Damon.

Rose

Being in love with your brother's girlfriend must be difficult.

Damon

I'm not in love with anyone.

Rose

Wanna try that again?

Damon

Did his eyes turn yellow?

Caroline

More like...gold with amber highlights.

Damon

Ugh.

Katherine

Please. Come in. There's plenty of room for all of us.

Damon

I'd rather poke my eyes out.

Katherine

Mmm, they're such pretty eyes.

Elena

Sound like you guys already have it all planned out.

Damon

Yup, we're awesome.

Damon

What are you doing here?

Elena

What are you doing here?! (to Rose) You called him?

Rose

I'm sorry , Elena.

Elena

You said that you understood.

Damon

She lied.

Damon

Come on we're leaving.

Elena

No.

Damon

I said we're leaving.

Elena

I'm not going with you.

Damon

You do not get to make decisions anymore.

Elena

When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me. Now, this? This is my decision.

Damon

Who's gonna save your life while you're out "making decisions"?

Elena

You're not listening to me, Damon, I do not want to be saved. Not if it means Klaus is going to kill every person I love.

Damon

...Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself.

Damon

Time to go. Alice is soundly sleeping and won't remember a moment of this horribly stupid day.

(bursts through the door) We're here to meet the doppelganger.

Elena

Thank you for coming. (begins to step forward)

Damon

(grabs her wrist and pulls her back) I will break...your...arm.

Damon

I killed you! You were dead!

Elijah

For centuries now.

Damon

(pins Elena against the wall) Don't you dare.

Elena

Stefan's in there, Damon. How could you let this happen?!

Damon

What are you talking about? I was too busy saving you from your crazy Kamikaze mission!

Elena

You didn't even have to go after the moonstone in the first place.

Damon

It was the right call, Elena!

Elena

"Right call"?! How is any of this the right call?! (shoves against him) Damon, let go of me! (struggles harder) Damon - LET GO OF ME! Let go of me! (hits him) Let go of me. Please...

Damon

(waits patiently) You done?
