Elena Gilbert quotes from The Vampire Diaries

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

(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?

Damon

You should really lock your door. (Elena sulks) Oh come on, pouty. At least give me two points for ingenuity.

Elena

Do you think this is funny?

Damon

Yes, Elena. I find hilarity in the lengths that I have to go to to repeatedly save your life.

Elena

What does Stefan say about this?

Damon

We had a good laugh.

Elena

Hold on a second - tonight's the full moon?

Damon

Yep. But you're too absorbed with all your suicidal tendencies to notice.

Elena

You're trying to use me. To draw him out.

Elijah

Well, to do that, I need you to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed.

Elijah

Do nothing. Do nothing, live your life; stop fighting. And then, when the time is right, you and I shall draw Klaus out together and I shall make certain that your friends remain unharmed.

Elena

And then what?

Elijah

Then I kill him.

Elena

Just like that?

Elijah

Just like that.

Elena

Don't ruin the moment. You're about to ruin the moment, aren't you?

Stefan

I'm totally ruining the moment.

Rose

What do you call this whole deal with Elijah?

Elena

I call it my best option.

Rose

It's the easiest option.

Elena

There you go, pretending to turn it off; pretending not to feel. Damon, you're so close, don't give up!

Damon

I feel, Elena! And it sucks.

Elena

What are you doing here?

John

Coffee?

Elena

We did that last night. No more avoiding.

Elena

Please don't do anything stupid.

Damon

Yeah, but stupid's so much more fun!

Elena

Damon, I mean it! All I'm asking is that you try to keep it together. Be the better man.

Damon

...Okay, then.

Elena

You totally blew her off.

Damon

I'm steering clear of all women at the moment.

Elena

You didn't have to be rude.

Damon

Trust me, it's in the best interest of women everywhere.

Damon

He's a werewolf. He needs to die, I'm willing kill him, it's a win-win!

Elena

Damon, please. Okay? Too many people are dead.

Damon

You need to stop doing that.

Elena

Doing what?

Damon

Assuming that I'll play the good guy because it's you who's asking.

Damon

Do you mind?

John

What's going on?

Elena

Nothing.

John

It doesn't look like nothing.

Damon

Well, guess what, John? Trust works both ways. Get out.
