Damon Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

View quote →

Damon

So I'm thinking of a person. He's reasonably good looking, charming accent, and he would be the most amazing wingman if he just got rid of his martyr complex.

Enzo

That's not how you play 20 questions. Regardless, your answer is either Jesus Christ, or me.

Damon

Yes, you came. [To Bonnie] I've put some champagne on ice. [Bonnie looks distraught ] Bon, What's wrong?

I just spoke to Kai, You didn't destroy Hell.

[Flashback] Kai: In fact, thanks to you killing Cade, Hell's never been in better hands.

Damon

What are you talking about? If Cade's not running Hell, who is?

[Flashback] Kai: Think of the only person worse than Cade.

Think of the only person worse.

[Flashback] Kai: The person who knows where all your weak spots are.

Who wants to hit you there over and over again.

[Flashback] Kai: Who will stop at nothing to make sure that you and everyone you love suffer.

The one who wants revenge for what we did...to her.

Damon

[Shatters bottle in grip] Don't you dare say it, Bonnie. Listen to me, we won. You hear me, don't you dare say that name!

[Kai in flashback] Kai: The myth! The legend! The baddest bitch of all. [Laughs]

Damon

.....Katherine.

[In agreement] Katherine.

[Kai in flashback, suddenly alone as Bonnie has disappeared.] Kai: Bon? [Spin Doctors playing again] Bonnie. No, Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie! [Screams]

Damon

[Resignedly] We're Toast.

Caroline

How do we get Katherine to show herself?

Damon

We throw the one party Katherine will never miss. Who doesn't love a wedding?

Damon

[To Kelly] What Did Katherine promise you?

Kelly

Nothing!

Matt

Then why help her?

Kelly

You don't get it, she promised me nothing- oblivion, emptiness. Anything is better than endless torture in hell. And all I had to do is to keep you idiots distracted until the fire started.

Damon

What is Katherine planning?!

Kelly

You don't have to bully me, she wanted me to let you know. She's gonna burn down Mystic Falls. With hellfire. Tonight. (Chuckles)

Matt

She's talking about the bell.

Need something?

Damon

You're like a bad penny.

Funny thing about that bone dagger, it sends me to hell, but it can't keep me there. I'm sorry.

Damon

I got to say, I look forward to dying by your side, KP.

You're bluffing.

No, he's not...and neither am I.

Damon

Are you seriously going to sit here and argue with me about who needs this redemption more?! You're not responsible for Enzo, Stefan!

You keep saying that, but you're wrong. We're all responsible for our own actions. Every drop of blood that I've spilled, I am accountable for.

Damon

Then I'm accountable too, and I've spilled even more!

Damon, I'm human. In 60 years, I'm gonna be old, I'm gonna be dead. You have quite literally an eternity with Elena ahead of you.

Damon

Which means a lot less without you.

Damon

I love you, little brother.

I love you, too.

[Damon grips Stefan by the shoulders]

Damon

And you're right. You are human...which is why I can do this. [Damon begins compelling Stefan] Go.

[Struggles] No, Damon, don't...

Damon

[Continues compelling Stefan] You're gonna walk out of these tunnels, and you are not gonna stop until my death breaks the compulsion. Because I am the big brother. I'm sorry I wasn't better at it until now. I said go. GO!

Hi. [Pause] What happened? Why am I here right now?

I don't know about Bonnie, but Damon...Damon wanted to sacrifice everything to save you, to save this town. He was ready. I'm human now. He compelled me to leave. But he should have known better. I would never walk a day on this Earth as a human without taking vervain.[Flashback shows Stefan removing blood from his arm with a syringe]

I don't understand.

[Flashback of Damon and Katherine standing in the tunnel, Damon holding the bone dagger to her chest]

Damon

Not long now, demon spawn. I can hear that fire coming back this way.

[Struggling against Damon] You love this, don't you?

Damon

You have no idea.

[Stefan stabs Damon in neck with syringe. Damon grunts in surprise and stares at Stefan]

I gave him my blood. The cure.

You what?

[Flashback showing Stefan shoving Damon safely into the room off the tunnel] Without the cure, I'd start to age. I'd be dead soon enough.

So Damon's okay?

He's okay.

[Gives a sob of relief, then realizes...] But...you, you're...

I did what I had to do.

[Flashback shows Stefan grabbing Katherine and the bone dagger. The roar of the hellfire can be heard returning]

No! No...Stefan, please...

Burn in hell. [Stabs Katherine with bone dagger. He looks over at Damon] Good-bye, brother.

No, Stefan.

Tonight I saw a side of Damon that I hadn't seen in a while. The older brother I looked up to. The son who enlisted in the Civil War to please his father. The Damon I knew when I was a boy. I wanted that Damon to live. And I wanted you to have an opportunity to get to know him. He's the better man. He's the right man. It's good to see you, Elena. One last time.
