Damon Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Abby

It's too dangerous. Your magic comes from the earth. It's pure. This spell asks you to tap into dark places. Places of temptation. Places you can't handle.

Bonnie

You turned your back on me for 16 years. You have no idea what I can handle.

Damon

Got to say I'm team Bonnie on this one. How hard can it be to parch a vampire?

Abby

To stop a vampire's heart, you need to find a balance among the living. Can you handle that?

Damon

What? What does that mean? Bonnie, I don't speak witch.

Bonnie

I have to stop a human heart.

Klaus

Before we all walk through these doors lets get on the same page, shall we? I created your vampire bloodline, therefor I am responsible for your lives. And Tyler"s life, Caroline's life. And of course, Abby's life. Should anything go wrong.

Damon

Or your just lying t o save your ass.

Klaus

I'm not lying. But go ahead, call my bluff--let the teacher kill me, You'll all be dead soon thereafter.

Alaric

Klaus is going to kill Elena.

Damon

What?

Stefan

What are you talking about? Klaus needs Elena's blood to make hybrids. She's the last person that he'd kill.

Alaric

The witch bound my life to Elena's. If she dies, I die. Klaus figured that out, and now he's taken her. Now I'm trapped here until the sun goes down, so you two better get to what you do best-- saving Elena's life.

Stefan

What?

Damon

How many desiccated hybrids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Stefan

You're in a good mood.

Damon

Yeah, I'm in a good mood. Klaus is dead, my brother is halfway to sane--again. Give or take an immortal hunter that wants to kill us. We won, Stefan. Come on, say it. Say it! We won.

Stefan

(dryly) We won.

Damon

Once more, with feeling!

Stefan

(more forcefully) We won.

Damon

You did what?

Jeremy

I took her to the hospital. When you find your sister unconscious, you call 9-1-1.

Damon

Not when you have a parade of vampires at your disposal.

Damon

I'm not halfway out of Virginia and Elena sells our souls to the Originals?

Bonnie

It's her call.

Damon

You know what else is her call? Everything bad ever.

Bonnie

Where's the body? As long as it's unspoiled, Alaric is one witch away from finding him.

Damon

Hidden. I was going to use Unit 666, but I figured that would be a little obvious. So... 1020. Mini fridge, a couple of bird cages, box full of Playboys. One beef jerkified Original.

Damon

Bonnie just left. Rebekah should be here soon to pick up the body.

Stefan

I got Caroline and Elijah in place. Jeremy's gonna lead Alaric to us.

Damon

You just had to let her make the choice, didn't you?

Stefan

What would you have done, Damon?

Damon

Grabbed her, gagged her, thrown her in a well. I don't know, anything other than let her trust Elijah!

Stefan

(chuckles) You know she'd just hate you for it, right?

Damon

Yet she'd be alive and she'd hate me. Thus the eternal difference between you and me, brother

Damon

Since I'm possibly a dead man, can I ask you a question?

Elena

Yeah, of course.

Damon

If it was just down to him and me, and you had to make a choice on who got the good-bye... who would it be?

Elena

I love him, Damon. He came into my life at a time when I needed someone, and I fell for him instantly. And no matter what I feel for you, I...I never un-fell for him.

Damon

Hey, I get it. It's Stefan. It's always going to be Stefan.

Elena

I can't think about 'always'. All I can think about is right now. And I care about you, Damon. Which is why I have to let you go. (crying) I mean, maybe if you and I had...met first...

Damon

Maybe...

Damon

(turns from looking at the stars when he hears Elena's voice in the distance)

Elena

Um...no. I- I'm Elena.

Damon

Oh. You- you just look... I'm sorry. You just...really remind me of someone. I'm Damon.

Elena

Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere.

Damon

You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself.

Elena

It's Mystic Falls. Nothing bad ever happens here. (pauses, then gestures to her phone) I got into a fight with my boyfriend.

Damon

'Bout what, may I ask?

Elena

Life; the future. He's got it all mapped out.

Damon

And you don't want it?

Elena

I don't know what I want.

Damon

Well, that's not true. You want what everybody wants.

Elena

What? Mysterious stranger who has all the answers?

Damon

Hmm. Well, let's just say I've been around a long time. I've learned a few things.

Elena

So, Damon, tell me. What is it that I want?

Damon

You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, and adventure, and even little danger.

Elena

So...what do you want?

Damon

Ah... (horn honks in the distance; Elena looks)

Elena

That's my parents. (turns back to Damon)

Damon

I want you to get everything you're looking for. But right now I want you to forget that this happened. I can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Good night, Elena.

Damon

Where is she?

Meredith

Damon-

Damon

Where is she?

Meredith

Wait! (stops him) You need to know, when Jeremy brought Elena in here earlier tonight, her injuries were worse than I let on. It wasn’t a concussion. It was a cerebral hemorrhage - bleeding on the brain.

Damon

What are you saying?

Meredith

He was so worried, I didn’t want to tell him. But I helped her. She needed my help.

Stefan

You were in an accident.

Elena

Oh, my god. Matt, is he--

Damon

Alive? Ask Stefan, the hero.

Stefan

He's fine.

Elena

Thank you. I thought that I-- how did you...

Damon

Save you? He didn't.

Damon

We all know the drill-- you feed or you die.. There is no door number three.

Elena

I was ready to die. I was supposed to die. I don't-- I don't want-- I can't be a vampire!!

Damon

And now that world has one more quarterback. Bravo, brother.

Stefan

I made a choice that I will regret for the rest of my life. Now let me try to fix it.

Rebekah

You should know better than to sneak up on a lady.

Damon

Good advice. Have you seen one?

Rebekah

Tragic about Elena. Not to make a gray cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?
