Stefan Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Stefan

All right. If anybody wants to back out, I'll understand.

Damon

Yeah, cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong because someone chickens out. Caroline?

Caroline

I won't. She killed me, fair is fair.

Stefan

Are you sure you can do this?

Damon

Who are you talking to?

Stefan

I had the chance to kill her and I hesitated.

Damon

Well, that is the fork in the road between me and you, my friend. I don't hesitate.

Katherine

Dance with me.

Stefan

No.

Katherine

Fine. You tell me who I should kill. Him? She looks delicious.

Stefan

This has Katherine written all over it.

Damon

Katherine's in the tomb. Trust me. I'm the one that shut her in.

Stefan

Did you?

Damon

Did I what, Stefan?

Stefan

Well I know the hold Katherine has on you.

Damon

She's in the tomb. Period. End of story.

Stefan

We have to talk to her.

Damon

No, no. Let me tell you how that's gonna go. We're gonna go ask for her help, she's gonna negotiate her release, which we're gonna be dumb enough to give her and then she's gonna get out and kill us. That's exactly what she wants.

Stefan

I don't really care.

Damon

It's a bad idea, Stefan.

Stefan

It's Elena.

Jeremy

You can't just do this alone!

Damon

He's not. Let's go.

Stefan

You're coming?

Damon

It's Elena.

Damon

The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar.

Stefan

Well, it doesn't have to be an elephant. Let's talk about it.

Damon

There's nothing to talk about.

Stefan

That's not true, sure there is. Let's get it out. I mean, are you in this car because you want to help your little brother save the girl that he loves or is it-- is it because you love her, too?

Damon

Keep it up, Stefan. I can step out of helping as easily as I stepped in.

Stefan

Nope. See, that's the beauty of it. You can't.

Damon

Elena know you've been drinking blood?

Stefan

I've been drinking hers.

Damon

Hmm. How romantic.

Damon

Since we’re road trip bonding, remember the days when all you lived for was blood? You were the guy who’d rip someone apart for the fun of it.

Stefan

You mean when I was more like you?

Damon

Yes, Stefan. Exactly! Back when you put blood into me so I could be a big, bad vampire. I wonder if Elena would be so quick to open her veins to that guy. By the way, what happened to that guy? He was a hoot.

Stefan

I'm sorry.

Damon

About what?

Stefan

For being the guy that made you turn 145 years ago.

Damon

Enough, Stef. It's late. No need to rehash that.

Stefan

Well, you know what, I've never said it out loud. I guess I just need to say it and you need to hear it. I'm sorry. What I did was selfish. I didn't wanna be alone. Guess I just needed my brother.

Elena

Okay, so you're saying is the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?

Rose

Yes.

Stefan

No.

Damon

What they are saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true..

Rose

Which it is.

Damon

...and you're not just saying it so we don't kill you...

Rose

Which I'm not.

Damon

...we're looking at a solid...maybe.

Damon

She's in denial.

Stefan

Shut up, Damon.

Damon

Of all the idiot plans, Stefan... I'll find a way to get you out.

Stefan

Ah, it's alright, I'll...I'll handle myself. Bonnie has the moonstone. Work with her; try to figure out how to de-spell it.

Damon

You martyr yourself into a tomb and I get partnered with a semi-competent witch. Wonderful!

Stefan

Keep Elena away from here.

Damon

(scoffs) Yeah, 'cause that'll be easy.

Stefan

Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll protect her.

Damon

Promise.

Stefan

You trapped her in the house?

Damon

It's for the best, trust me. Elena's on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hits.

Katherine

Are we seriously not going to talk at all?

Stefan

Well, we could talk about how you regret all you've done to make my life miserable...
