Stefan Salvatore quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Wait. How long have you...

Stefan

I've been 17 years old since 1864.

Oh, my god.

Rise and shine! You’ll be late for school!

Stefan

What are you-- what are you doing?

Peace offering. (lifts a mug of coffee) C'mon, you need it for blood circulation. It does dead flesh good.

(Stefan glares in silence)

Alright, I’m sorry.

Stefan

Step aside, please.

I got the town off our back. It was for the greater good - but I’m sorry! And to prove it, I’m not going to feed on a human. For at least a...week. I’ll adopt the Stefan diet. Only nothing with feathers.

Stefan (mimicking Damon): Because I realize that killing your closest and oldest friend is beyond evil, and yet, somehow, it’s worthy of humor.

Are you mimicking me?

Stefan

Yes, Stefan. Now that the secret society of vampire haters is off our back, I can go back to my routine of how can I destroy Stefan’s life this week.

Damon (mimicking Stefan): And I can go back to sulking and Elena-longing and forehead-brooding. (in his own voice) This is fun, I like this.

Stefan (mimicking Damon): And I will finally reveal the ulterior motive behind my evil and diabolical return to Mystic Falls.

(pauses) Yeah, I’m done. (turns to leave)

Damon (mimicking Stefan): This is so like you, Damon - always have to have the last word.

I'm sorry, Stefan. I thought that I couldn't be with you, but I can. You don't have to push me away. I can do this.

Stefan

I can't. I, uh, I have to leave, Elena. Too many people died. Too much has happened.

What? No, I know you think you're protecting me, but -

Stefan

Elena, I have to. Coming back was... It was a mistake. I can't be a part of your life anymore.

Don't go, Stefan. Please. You don't have to. This is your home, you just... Please don't go.

Stefan

(after kissing Elena's hand) Goodbye, Elena. (Turning his back and leaving, still in the woods)

You're just gonna walk away? Don't walk away, Stefan. Stefan!

I'm guessing you're not here to plan the path for your future. You're looking out for me.

Stefan

Hope that's okay. [After a little while] You know I, uh, I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened. But I couldn't, this...

The blood?

Stefan

Yeah. I've dabbled in a bunch of different things, though.

Didn't love anything enough to stick to it?

Stefan

No, I've loved it all, I just... I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't...getting any older.

How long before that would happen?

Stefan

Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter.

And you always left?

Stefan

I didn't have a choice. So! What about, what about you? What are your plans for the future?

I don't want to talk about my future, Stefan. Because everything you're saying is making it perfectly clear that you're not going to be in it.

Stefan

No, Elena, it's not that I don't want to be, it's...

You can't, I get it. I heard you the first time, and the second time. And I appreciate you looking out for me, but, please, if you're gonna leave, then just go.

What I said earlier, about you leaving... It was harsh.

Stefan

No, no, you... You had every right.

You asked me what I wanted my future to be. I wanted to be a writer. My mom sort of pushed me into that direction from the time I was able to read. She supported me, encouraged me, bought me my first journal...and then she died. And I can't see myself being a writer any more. That was something that we shared. I know that you think that you brought all of this bad stuff into my life, but my life already had it. I was buried in it.

Stefan

This is different.

It doesn't make it any less painful.

Stefan

I know that it's...that it's hard to understand, but I'm doing this for you. (Gets out of the car, leaving Elena inside)

[Thinks, and gets out of the car, with a determined face] No. You don't get to make that decision for me. If you walk away, it's for you, because I know what I want. Stefan, I love you.

Good morning.

Where are we?

Georgia.

Georgia? No..no, we're not. Seriously, Damon, where are we?

Seriously, we're - we're in Georgia. (looks at her) How are you feeling?

I... I...

There were no broken bones. I checked.

My car... There was a man... I hit a man. (pause) But then he got up and...who was that?

That's what I would like to know.

Where is my phone? (Damon looks away) Okay, we really need to go back, nobody knows where I am. Pull over. I mean it, Damon, pull over.

(sighs tiredly)

Stop the car!

Oh, you were so much more fun when you were asleep. (pulls the car over)

(gets out of the car)

(helps her)

I'm fine. We have to go back.

Oh, come on. We've already come this far.

Why are you doing this? I can't be in Georgia. I...I wrecked my car. I have to go home. (pause) This is kidnapping.

That’s a little melodramatic, don’t you think?

You're not funny. You can't do this. I'm not going to Georgia.

Well, you're in Georgia. Without your magical necklace, I might add. I can very easily make you...agreeable.

What are you trying to prove?

(Elena's phone rings)

That’s my phone.

Mmm... (looks at the phone) It's your boyfriend. (holds the phone out to her; she refuses to answer) I'll take it. (answers) Elena's phone.

Stefan

Where is she? Why do you have her phone? Is she okay?

Elena? Yeah, she's right here. And, yes, she's fine.

Stefan

Where are you? Let me talk to her.

(to Elena) He wants to talk to you.

Mm-mm. (shakes her head)

(to Stefan) Yeah, I, uh, I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now.

Stefan

Damon, I swear to God if you touch her-

You have a good day. Bye now.

[Stefan and Elena are in bed, cuddling]

(Sighs) Good morning.

Stefan

I could get used to this...

Rise and shine, sleepyheads!

Stefan

What are you doing?!

Damon, please!

Oh, stop being smutty.

Stefan

Seriously, get out of here!

If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it.

Stefan

You met Damon.

Alaric

Who do you think killed my wife?

View quote →

Stefan

Anna took Elena.

Yeah, I got that from your 600 voice mails.

View quote →

Stefan

What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?

Well, I guess you will see her again.

Stefan

Please, what do you know? You were with Anna - you must know where she's living. Just tell me where I can find her.

No. You can go now.

View quote →

Stefan

I can get it.

Anna

Which means your brother has it. And I have the witch, so one of you had better meet me in the very public town square in 30 minutes so we can safely discuss how fun it's gonna be to work together. [Hangs up]

Damon [To Stefan]: Go ahead - grovel again. Oh, wait, no... I don't care.

Stefan

Now we have to make Damon agree.

He already agreed once.

Stefan

Yes, and then we double-crossed him. So now he's angry.

He's hurt. There's a difference.
