Stefan Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

She can't even keep my blood down.

Stefan

She drank from you?

Oops. Did I just say that out loud?

View quote →

Stefan

How about we just leave the murdering to Damon.

And then do what? Ignore her to death?

View quote →

Stefan

(At Rebekah's new house/anti-curfew party) Wow. We didn't have to be invited in. Wonder who use to live here.

Or who died here.

View quote →

Stefan

(about the final remaining white oak stake) Damon give that to you?

Yes. Reluctantly. Stefan, she's-- she's not going to stop. She's just going to keep pushing and pushing.

Stefan

Well if you want to kill her, I'm not going to stop you. But see, here's what will happen. It will feel really good for about ten seconds. And then after that, tens of thousands of vampires all over the world will start to die. Every vampire she ever turned will die. See, rage is a really powerful feeling. But guilt... take it from me. It will destroy you. So. You can either go after her or you can get on the back of my motorcycle. And we can get the hell out of here.

Hey.

Stefan

Hey. Thanks for coming.

Not everyday that I get summoned by a Salvatore. So what's up?

Stefan

(sighs) Do you remember what you were like before you turned?

Um, you mean an insecure control freak? (Stefan chuckles) Yeah.

Stefan

You grew into yourself when you became a vampire. You changed. And Elena, she's changing too. And I want her to be able to enjoy it. Without all the guilt and shame that I went through. And there was a moment today when she did. And when I'm with her, every bone in my body tells me to join her, to enjoy it. (pause) But I know that if I do, even a little, I risk becoming him. The Ripper. I love her. And I don't want to hold her back.

But you don't know how to be around her and still resist that urge.

Stefan

Damon promised he'd help me stay off the edge. But, it's, ah, he and I aren't in a very good place right now. Not when it comes to her. I just thought, you're so good at it. At being a vampire.

(scoffs) Because of you, Stefan. I'm good at it because of you. (pause) Come to me. Whenever you want. I won't let you loose control.

I'm searching for a supernatural handbook.

Stefan

You know for a fact that he was supernatural?

Definitely wasn't natural. Guy magically appears just as someone blows up the entire Founders' Council, covered in tattoos that only Jeremy Gilbert, of all people in the world, seems to be able to see. Klaus mentioned something about him being one of The Five. And he kamakazis himself with explosives. Sound natural to you?

Stefan

What's The Five?

That's what I'm hoping is in the first chapter of the handbook. (phone rings) Liz Forbes, my favorite sheriff. (pause, as Liz is saying something) What? (pause again) That's concerning. (another pause) Keep me posted.

Stefan

(after shooting at Elena with a crossbow) A little slow. Almost got you.

That's why we are not using the wood ones for Hunter Defense Class.

Stefan

What about Caroline? She's a genius at self-control.

She's too good. She doesn't understand how hard it is, and you, well... I know what being around too much blood does to you, so... I can't put you through that.

Stefan

(vamp speeds behind Elena, holding the shaft of an arrow against her throat) So I guess that leaves Damon, huh?

(flips him over her shoulder, straddles him, and holds the arrow against his throat) Don't be jealous. You know I wish it could be you.

Stefan

Fine. You win.

View quote →

Fine. You might actually be useful in getting Rebekah to cooperate. The Brotherhood of the Five was a group of highly skilled vampire hunters. We crossed paths with them in the 12th century Italy. (Flashback to 1114, voice over) My siblings and I had followed the Normans as they conquered the south. Eating, turning people as we went.

AAlexander

(one of the Five) These, demons live among you. Passing as human.

(still a voice over) But with the bloodshed came exposure.

AAlexander

So witness with your own eyes... (opens a metal box to reveal a vampire, who walks into the sunlight and bursts into flames)

Elijah

He's putting on quite a show.

He's nothing. I could eat him for sport.

Elijah

Still you should heed the warning. Between you here and Kol in the east, you have not been discrete. Stories of the original vampires is spreading.

I welcome the infamy. But if you're worried about discretion, perhaps you should wrangle our sister. (pan to Rebekah, flirting with Alexander)

Stefan

(back to modern day) So these hunters have been around for 900 years?

Apparently. Although our friend in the other room (Conner) is the first I've seen since then. Kind of makes you wonder what they'd been up to all these years.

Stefan

And Rebekah had a thing with one of them?

Oh, she didn't just have a thing. She fell in love with him. He told her all his secrets, which I will gladly share with you, provided you do one thing for me.

Stefan

And what's that?

Get Rebekah over here. She's being stubborn and hateful. I-- I need to make peace with her. I want her to give me some very important information about the hunter that she won't do unless we've made up.

Stefan

And what's in it for me?

Just get her here and I'll tell you. Oh, and Stefan, trust me when I say this. That hunter in there holds the answers to all your prayers.

View quote →

Rebekah, Love. Eat your veggies.

Rebekah

I'm not eating until you apologize.

For which indiscretion? There have been so many.

Rebekah

You broke my neck.

You threw away Elena's blood so I can't make anymore hybrids.

Rebekah

Because you took me for granted!

That's what big brothers do, sweetheart.

Stefan

Can I just name the million other people I'd rather be having dinner with right now?

Dear Diary, I know it's been a while. A long while. I haven't needed... I haven't wanted to write this stuff down. But I didn't want to say it out loud either. The thing is.. I'm a vampire. And I hate it.

Stefan

(writing in journal) She's been spiraling since her transition. There are times I barely recognize her. But now, the first time in a while, there's hope.

I feel hopeless. Depressed. Angry. But most of all... I'm scared.

Stefan

Somewhere in the world, there's a cure for vampires. If I can get it, Elena can be human again. I can giver her back her life.

Part of me just wants to end it. But, then I think of Jeremy; I'm all that he has left. So I need to find a way through this. No matter what it takes.

Stefan

So that's what I need to do. No matter what Klaus asks; no matter what lies I have to tell or secrets I have to keep, I'll do it. No matter what it takes.

View quote →

You need to keep Damon in check.

Stefan

Be a lot easier if I could tell him the truth.

You trust Damon with the cure? I imagine he prefers Elena the way she is.

Stefan

Nice try, Klaus, but I trust Damon a hell of a lot more than I trust you.

And I trust no one. Which is why my sister is lying daggered in a box.

Where have you been?

Stefan

Coming up with a plan.

Yeah, we have a plan. Plan is I'm going to rip Connor's heart out and feed it to him.

Stefan

That's not a plan. We need to be careful. Connor has Jeremy and who knows how many other hostages.

Hence the open heart surgery.

Damon's right. Connor's strong but he's not going to be able to take all of us.

Tyler

I called in the hybrids to help, too.

My mom put squad cars blocking the streets. They're saying it's a faulty gas main. We're good to go.

Good. Great. No cops, no witnesses, no reason to wait around.

Stefan

Alright, hold on. We're not all going.

Tyler

He shot me like nine times. If we're going to kill him, I want in.

He's got Jeremy, I'm going.

Stefan

Listen, nobody is going anywhere until I figure out what we're walking into.

Until you figure it out? Is that where you've been all morning? Buying bossypants?

View quote →

Stefan

Is that my journal?

Had to go through six locks to get it. Needed something to back up your insanity. Did you figure out how to tell Klaus you lost a hunter and a hybrid?

Stefan

He's on a plane. Which means I get to live for another six hours.

Well, I got your back, when he comes to murder you.

Stefan

(sarcastically) Thanks. (seriously) Thanks for not saying anything to Elena.

About what? The cure that we don't have, can't find and probably doesn't exist? You're welcome.

Stefan

She doesn't need to know that she killed her chance at being human again.

Alleged chance.

Stefan

I believe him, Damon. You didn't hear Klaus' story. I believe every word he said.

Well, I'll remain skeptic for now. So what's your next move?

Stefan

He said there was a Brotherhood of the Five. Which means there are others hunters out there. Just going to keep looking until I find one.

Sure, Stefan, since you asked, I'd be happy to go one a suicide mission with you for a potentially non-existant cure. No problem.

Stefan

Yet a couple hours ago you were ready to rip my heart out.

Because you were being a pain in the ass. I just need one thing- Why do you want to cure her?

Stefan

What kind of question is that?

Legitimate one. You want a cure because she's a vampire and not cut out to be one or you can't love her if she is one?

Stefan

I'll always love her. But she's not supposed to be this person. I don't want her to be.

Well, if I'm gonna ride this fairytale to its conclusion, I'm gonna be clear about one thing.

Stefan

What's that?

I'm fine with her either way, Brother. So, I do this, I'm doing it for you.

View quote →

Bonnie

You lost her?

Well, "lost" is a very strong word, we just technically don't know where she is.

Stefan

I'm more worried about what Klaus said about this Hunter's Curse.

View quote →

Well, life’s full of ifs, Stefan. But let’s accentuate the positives, shall we? The hunter was one of five; we'll find another. It may take centuries, but we’ve got nothing but time, right?

Stefan

You’re using your calm voice today. Who’s getting killed?

Not you, if that's what you’re worried about. But I am concerned about your beloved. Have the hallucinations started yet?
