Elena Gilbert quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Elena

You played your part of the plan really well tonight. You had Rebekah drooling all over you...and your marshmallows....

Damon

Yeah - before she skewered me. I thought you were too drunk to notice.

Elena

I was faking most of it.

Damon

So was I.

Elena

I know who you really are, better than anyone, Stefan. I am not giving up.

Stefan

Elena, do you have any idea how pathetic that makes you?

Elena

No, Stefan. (stakes Stefan in the gut) It makes me strong.

Elena

That's what it’s called?

Jeremy

That's what Anna calls it. There's not an official brochure or anything.

Stefan

All these words. Forgot how much I used to care.

Elena

I didn't.

Alaric

Careful where you shine that thing. Bats hate the light.

Elena

Wait... what?

Elena

How does he look?

Damon

Pasty and pouty.

Elena

He'll have to get over it.

Elena

(sighs) Damon, seriously?

Damon

We got Mikael.

Elena

What? How?

Damon

No idea. I guess Katherine came through. The plan's in motion.

Elena

(looks surprised)

Damon

See? I told you I had it. Go ahead - kick, yell, scream. I'm sure you've been planning your rant all day.

Elena

I'm not gonna yell at you.

Damon

Why not? I went behind your back, freed Stefan. And you know what? It backfired. He’s an even bigger dick than ever. It’s just, now, he’s a dick that’s on our side.

Elena

I'm not mad. I'm tired. I just-- I want to go to bed.

Damon

You know, I think Mikael's weapon is a stake, because he mentioned something about it...

Elena

Well, then they must have carved it from the white oak tree before they burned it down.

Damon

So I was right. After all that, the wall led us to Mikael.

Elena

It led us to more than just that. I think I got Rebekah on our side, too.

Damon

Really? What'd you learn from here?

Elena

I learned that she's just a girl. That she lost her mom too young, and she loves blindly and recklessly - even if it consumes her. You know, when all is said and done...there's nothing more important than the bond of family.

Damon

(scoffs) You should tell that to my brother.

Elena

I'm not mad at you for letting him out, Damon. I think that you're gonna be the one to save him from himself. It won't be because he loves me. It'll be because he loves you.

Damon

I am forming a secret contingency plan.

Elena

Really? What is it?

Damon

Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret.

Damon

It's very...Katherine of you.

Elena

Not the way to make me feel better about myself, Damon.

Damon

It was a compliment. Sort of.

Damon

Do you trust me?

Elena

Yes.

Damon

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Elena

Hey, Damon, look at me. Hey! We'll survive this. We always survive.

Damon

We're never getting Stefan back. You know that, don't you?

Elena

Then we'll have to let him go. Okay? We'll let him go.

Damon

We thought of everything, Elena! Klaus having hybrids. Mikael turning on us. We brought in Katherine so you weren`t in danger. Anything that could have gone wrong, we were prepared!

Elena

I don`t understand. Stefan wanted Klaus dead. More than anything. That`s what we were counting on.

Damon

We blew it.

Elena

Where`s Katherine?

Damon

She ran for the hills like usual, the minute things got bad.

Elena

The Stefan that we know is gone.

Bonnie

How is Damon handling that?

Elena

Damon is... Damon.

Elena

Well, you're day drunk. It's not exactly your most attractive look.

Damon

Oh? And what is my 'most attractive look'?

Elena

I'm not saying that you have any attractive look. I'm just saying...this is my least favorite one.

Alaric

What if he asked you to... jump off a bridge?

Tyler

He wouldn't. And even if he did, I'd be fine. I'm a hybrid.

Elena

OK, so what if he asked you to rip your own heart out?

Tyler

Again, he wouldn't.

Elena

What if he did?

Tyler

I don't know - then I'd rip out my heart!
