Damon Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Alaric

It's me, Elena, I swear, okay? He let me go. Klaus let me go.

Damon

Prove it.

Alaric

(looking to Jenna) Okay, uh, first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in right when I was about to...

Jenna

(lowers the crossbow) Okay, it's him.

Damon

You're going to die, Elena.

Elena

And then I'll come back to life.

Damon

That is not a risk I am willing to take.

Elena

But I am. It's my life, Damon. My choice.

Damon

...I can't lose you.

Elena

You won't.

Stefan

As a vampire. She'll come back a vampire!

Damon

It's better than nothing else!

Stefan

How could you, of all people, take that choice away from her?!

Elijah

Tell Elena I'll be back before nightfall. We'll proceed as planned.

Damon

We both know that elixir wouldn't have worked, anyway.

Elijah

The problem, Damon...you talk a good game, but you don't actually "know" anything. She'll never forgive you. And "never" for a vampire...it's a very long time.

Damon

I screwed up.

Alaric

Yeah. Yeah, you did.

Damon

Any reason you stopped by to say 'hi'?

Klaus

I'm told you and your brother fancy my doppelganger. Just thought I'd remind you not to do anything you'll regret.

Damon

Ha! Thanks for the advice. I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement, by any chance, huh?

Klaus

You're kidding. (looks to Alaric) He's kidding right?

Alaric

No, not really.

Damon

I mean, come on, what's one month in the whole grand scheme of things?

Klaus

Let me be clear... I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have everything I need. The ritual will happen tonight. So if you want to live to see tomorrow, don't screw it up.

Alaric

You're going to screw it up, aren't you?

Damon

You think if I took his werewolf out of the equation, she might..."get over" the fact that I tried to turn her into a vampire?

Alaric

I think it won't matter because you'll be dead.

Damon

But without the werewolf, he can't perform the ritual tonight, which means I would have bought her one month before the next full moon.

Alaric

And you'll still be dead.

Katherine

A hundred and forty-five years and... no last goodbye?

Damon

You don't get a goodbye.

Katherine

Don't. Don't leave mad.

Damon

Us ending up on good terms is not exactly on my bucket list, Katherine.

Katherine

Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out. There was nothing I could do. I didn't have a choice.

Damon

That's why I gave you the vervain. So you had a choice.

Katherine

It was her or me. I chose her.

Damon

I helped you. You owed me. Now when Klaus dies you're going to walk out of here without a scratch and Elena's aunt dies. Somehow you're the only one that wins. How'd that happen?

Katherine

I didn't let love get in the way.

Damon

Enjoy an eternity alone, Katherine.

Jeremy

How is she?

Damon

I don't know yet.

Alaric

And Jenna?

Damon

(shakes his head)

Alaric

No...

Damon

I'm sorry, Jeremy.

Elena

Damon...?

Damon

How do you feel?

Elena

(slowly nods) I feel fine...

Elena

What do you want?

Damon

I want to apologize.

Elena

Damon-

Damon

Please. ...Elena, feeding you my blood, I was wrong.

Elena

Yes, you were.

Damon

And I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but... I need it.

Stefan

You’re not dying today.

Damon

What’s the plan, Superman?

Katherine

Is it wrong for me to want you both?

Elena

Damon.

Damon

(turns from Katherine) Elena?

Elena

Don't you see? She was toying with you. All you had to do was say no; walk away. You had a choice.

Damon

My subconscious is haunting me, Ric. Please tell me you have something for that.

Alaric

Double shot.

Damon

That's good.

Damon

You should want me dead. I’m the reason Jenna got killed.

Alaric

I don’t blame you for Jenna.

Damon

Oh sure you do. Let’s not forget, I turned your wife into a vampire. You must really hate me for that one.

Alaric

OK, give me your glass. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation.

Damon

(grabs Alaric by the throat) Kill me. Please.

Alaric

Screw you. (stabs him with vervain dart)

Damon

No... (falls over) Elena?

Alaric

Elena's not here, Damon.

Damon

(coughs) Elena...

Elena

It's ok, Damon. I'm right here.

Damon

Elena, get out of here. I could hurt you.

Elena

No. You won't. I'm here until the very end, I'm not leaving you.
