Alaric Saltzman quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Alaric

We're going to be searching through memories that are deeply embedded, and each significant memory that we hit which is connected to Damon I will help you modify. And this should eventually lead us to the signature memory which, once erased, will create a positive domino effect through all your other memories.

Elena

Can't you just compel me to forget everything at once? And then we can go get a beer?

Alaric

I am supernaturally rewiring three years of your memories. If it were that easy, I wouldn't be so terrified.

Alaric

Are you afraid?

Elena

More sad than afraid.

Alaric

Why sad?

Elena

Because I don't want to stop loving him.

Elena

I don't know, Ric!

Alaric

Well think about it, Elena! Think about that moment when you knew this person was somebody you had feelings for - that you loved. And you could see those feelings going on forever. Trust me, you never forget.

Elena

Do it. It's okay, I'm ready.

Alaric

I need you to be sure.

Elena

I'm sure. (begins to cry) Just take it away, please.

Alaric

Damon is going to kill me!

Elena

You're un-killable.

Alaric

Doesn't mean he won't try.

Elena

I have to go. I have a shift at the hospital.

Alaric

Since when?

Elena

Since Damon came back and I'm trying desperately to avoid him!

Alaric

So...how the hell are you?

Damon

Well let's see, Ric... I clawed my way out of some retro pocket-universe only to find that I needed to compel myself a new change of clothes because this anti-magic hamster ball is keeping me from going home, and then I find out that my best friend, rather than doing anything about it, decided that it was the best use of his time to compel my beautiful and lovely girlfriend to forget that she ever loved me. I'm great, Ric! Thanks for asking.

Why don't you just compel me out of the way? Look don't you think it's about time we level with each other?

Alaric

Okay, how's this: my best friend, he just came from the dead but now I have to save him from a vampire hunter before he's driven across an anti-magic border and killed...again. So here's some friendly advice: it's probably a good idea to stay as far away from me as possible.

You'll die if I move you. You nicked your descending aorta.

Alaric

I know. It's what killed me.

Well you didn't have me back then, did you? And you didn't have hemostatic gauze.

Damon

All the terrible things I did to people Elena cared about, let's see... I turned Caroline into my own personal blood juice box, I turned Matt's sister into a vampire, and threatened to kill Bon-Bon a couple times.

Alaric

More than a couple.

Damon

Subjective - sometimes I was being funny.

Alaric

You killed Stefan's best friend - at his birthday party...

Damon

An unfortunate coincidence.

Alaric

And then you snapped Jeremy's neck when Elena said she'd never love you...

Damon

On second thought, let's focus on all of the charming, heroic things you obliterated from my girl's mind.

Alaric

You wouldn't think it's weird that I'm trying to contact my fiance who's been dead for months?

Bonnie

Honestly, after everything we've experienced, it'd be weird if you weren't.

Alaric

She's been sleeping for 12 hours. That's normal, right?

Bonnie

Yesterday she was dead. Today she's alive. I'm not sure normal applies.
