Elena Gilbert quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Elena

You're not dosing me again, are you?

Matt

Poison your best friend once, and the suspicion follows you forever.

Rebekah

Wow, she [Lexi] sounds dreadful.

Damon

She had a Mother Teresa complex.

Elena

So let me guess. After many dark nights with Lexi, she convinced you to turn your emotions back on, and that's exactly what you plan to do with me. Hmm.

Damon

You read the last page of a book first, too?

Elena

So let me guess. After many dark nights with Lexi, she convinced you to turn your emotions back on, and that's exactly what you plan to do with me. Hmm.

Damon

You read the last page of the book first, too? I'm gonna go get a drink. Many drinks. (goes to the bar)

Rebekah

So you really buy all this?

Elena

Not one bit. I know he's after the cure. I'm not stupid.

Rebekah

Well, let's not say things we don't mean.

Elena

You dragged me all the way to New York because you were feeling nostalgic?

Damon

No, I dragged you to New York because in a matter of three days, you managed to piss off everyone in Mystic Falls. A little more difficult to do in a city of millions.

Elena

(shrugging) I was hungry.

Damon

You were reckless.

Elena

Emotionless. There's a difference.

Damon

Look, all that matters is that when I lived here, I fed like crazy and had a blast and went undetected for years.

Elena

What do you think?

Rebekah

Hm. It's close. Not quite slutty enough – I think you need more eyeliner.

Elena

Where's the cure?

Katherine

What? No I'm here to avenge my annoying little brother speech?

Elena

People die. We move on.

Damon

You are under age.

Elena

You are over age, and honestly, it's kinda creepy.

Damon

Oh, come on. What bad-ass senior is complete without a prom date that's slightly too old for high school?

Elena

Please don't refer to yourself as my date.

Damon

Oh, I'm sorry. Your boyfriend. Something I said?

Elena

I'm not doing this.

Damon

You're not gonna deny that I'm your boyfriend now, are you?

Elena

What are you doing? Trying to stir some feelings in me? Ironic, since you, my sire, are the one who had me turn them off.

Damon

Yeah, well, hindsight is almost a bigger bitch than you.

Elena

You're nothing to me, Damon.

Damon

Really? Then why tell me you're in love with me? Why tell me it's the most real thing you've ever felt in your life?

Elena

I told you I loved you because I was sired to you, and now that I'm not, I know that none of it was real, but if you still think that it was, I mean, maybe you're the one who needs help with your emotions, not me.

Elena

Let go of me or I will bite you.

Stefan

Oh, come on. I'm the one who hates to dance, remember?

Elena

Yeah, and now I finally see why.

Stefan

So you're just here to help Rebekah get the cure, right, on what happens to be the most sentimental night in high school.

Elena

You think this is my cry for help? I'd be happy to show you what a real cry for help sounds like.

Stefan

Hmm. So this... Us... You feel nothing?

Elena

I feel nothing.

Stefan

I don't believe you.

Elena

I don't care.

Stefan

So you don't remember what it use to feel like when we would dance? When my hand would touch your waist?

Elena

Nope.

Stefan

How about this... When our fingers would touch?

Elena

Nothing.

Stefan

And this? (Dips Elena) Does your heart really refuse to remember?

Elena

(whispers) What heart?

Rebekah

What am I missing?

Elena

Silas is appearing to Bonnie as my dead brother, which means he still wants her to do the spell.

Rebekah

So? The nice thing about having no feelings is you don't fear your enemies on the other side.

Elena

I'm not worried about my enemies. It's people like Alaric... and Jeremy. The Salvatore brothers are annoying enough as it is, can you imagine if my brother came back to the living? He'd spend every waking hour trying to get my humanity back.

Damon

You look terrible.

Elena

I'm hungry. Not that you care.

Damon

But I do. That's the whole point. I do care. You don't care. It's about time for that to change. (gives Elena a blood bag)

Elena

(gags) Vervain?

Damon

How does that make you feel? Hurt because I'd betray you? Angry because I'd cause you pain? Or scared? Because you know it's gonna get a lot worse?

Elena

You boys want to play games? Go ahead. Let's see who breaks first. Me, or you?

Caroline

I am not going to give up on you.

Elena

This annoying, clingy thing that you're doing, did it ever occur to you maybe that's why both of your boyfriends skipped town? I mean, I know that Tyler said he was running for his life. Maybe he was running from you. And Klaus... I mean, let's just say it: nobody likes a tease. Hey, I'm not judging. Might be nice to have a bad boy ruffle those perfect feathers.

Caroline

You're in pain you're lashing out. I get it, but you can't stay this way forever. We're about to graduate and start new lives, and you deserve--

Elena

Are you seriously talking about high school graduation? Caroline, do you realize how pathetic you're gonna look in that cap and gown pretending to be human while your mom fake-smiles and just counts down the minutes until you leave town so that you can stop being a reminder their daughter is a repulsive, blood-sucking, control freak monster? It's really too bad Stefan stopped me before I put you out of your misery, but, hey, here's to second chances.

Damon

Oh, you know the rules, bad girls don't get nice jewelry.

Elena

You took my ring. I'm devastated. And bored. Can I go back to solitary now?

Elena

I said, I'm going to kill you!

Damon

Bingo! See? There's a little rage. I should have figured out that'd be the first emotion that came out of you. I tend to pull that out of people.

Stefan

Elena, look at me. We don't want to do this, okay? You can stop this right now. It's your choice.

Elena

Kind of funny, actually, you being the one to pull back the curtain. I bet part of you enjoys it since, you know, I dumped you and all.

Damon

Wow. That was downright vindictive. See? I think now we're breaking through that tough candy shell and getting into the ooey-gooey rich center of your humanity. This is good. I think we should shine some light on the subject.

Elena

Let me guess... this is gonna hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.

Stefan

Look, I know what you're going through. After all you've done, you're afraid to face the guilt you'll feel if you turn your emotions back on. The only way we can help you is to make the alternative hurt even worse.

Elena

What the hell are you doing here?

Katherine

Your boyfriends invited me. They want to know if you still have a heart. There it is. Your bodyguards won't let me kill you, but I can rip your throat out. So I don't have to listen to you whine. But first, satisfy my curiosity,what did you tell Elijah back in Willoughby?

Elena

That's why you're here? He dumped you, didn't he? Now you're just looking for a scapegoat.

Katherine

Tell me what you said to turn him against me or I will feed you your own eyeballs.

Elena

I didn't have to say anything. Look at you. A self-obsesses egomaniac on the run for 5 centuries. What good would you be to anyone? You're the definition of damaged goods. No wonder Elijah left you.

Katherine

Yeah, I've done some pretty horrible things to survive, but unlike you, poor, delicate Elena, I don't turn it off. I deal with it. You wouldn't last a week as a vampire without everyone fawning over you. By I'd love to see you try.
