Katherine Pierce quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Katherine

Happy graduation, cupcake.

Katherine

Don't play the hero. You two are just waiting for the convenient time to hand me back over to him. I've done this a thousand times. I get it. I'm the leverage. I'm that thing that everybody wants. I'm the freaking moonstone.

Katherine

Give them your phone number. I assume that your phone does receive incoming calls, right? Or is it from the Han Dynasty just like your car?

Damon

You know, I came to this town wanting to destroy it. Tonight I found myself wanting to protect it. How does that happen? I'm not a hero, Elena. I don't do good. It's not...in me.

Damon

No. No, it's reserved for my brother, and you, and Bonnie... who, even though she has every reason to hate me, still helped Stefan save me.

Katherine

Why do you sound so surprised?

Damon

Because she did it for you. Which means that somewhere along the way, you decided that I was worth saving. I wanted to...thank you, for that.

John

Katherine?!

Katherine

Hello, John. Goodbye, John. [Stabs him]

Stefan

Hey. How's Caroline?

Not good. [Hugs Stefan] Just what I needed. [Goes to kiss Stefan. Stefan suddenly jerks Katherine back and growls, then throws Katherine across room]

Stefan

Katherine.

Katherine

At least I fooled one of you. [Stefan zips over and smashes her up against the wall with a growl] Feel better?

Elena

Stefan?

Stefan

Elena.

Elena

What happened?

Damon

Katherine happened.

Damon

Don't pout. It’s not attractive in a woman your age.

Katherine

Ouch. (Damon walks away. Katherine appears in front of him again.) What, no goodbye kiss?

Damon

Why don't I kill you instead?

Katherine

(scoffs)

Damon

What are you doing here?

Katherine

Nostalgia, curiosity, etc.

Damon

I'm better at the enigmatic one-liners, Katherine. What are you up to?

Katherine

Trust me Damon, when I'm up to something, you'll know it. Come on. Kiss me. Or kill me. Which will it be, Damon? We both know you're only capable of one...

Damon

Okay, wait. Wait. Brief pause. I have a question. Answer it and it's back to fireworks and rockets red glare. Answer it right, and I'll forget the last 145 years I’ve spent missing you, I'll forget how much I loved you, I'll forget everything and we can start over. This can be our defining moment, because we have the time. That’s the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth, just once-

Katherine

Stop. I already know your question, and its answer. The truth is, I've never loved you. It was always Stefan.

Katherine

My name is Katherine. I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me.

Caroline

What are you talking about? What message?

Katherine

Game on.

Katherine

Are we really going to do this again? We both know I could rip you to shreds and do my nails at the same time.

Stefan

What do you want?

Katherine

I wanted to see you. I've missed you, Stefan. Indulge me for a little while, please?

Stefan

Why are you back in town?

Katherine

Three reasons: you, you, and... you.

Stefan

See, I can't quite get that down. It just kind of...gets stuck in my throat.

Katherine

You know, it's the truth. Deep down inside that gorgeous body of yours is the Stefan that fell in love with me, too.

Stefan

What do you know about werewolves?

Katherine

I know not to pet one.

Stefan

I know we've only known each other for a short while. And I know I'm in competition for your affections. But... I've never met a woman quite like you. I look at you and I see an angel. I touch your skin... and my entire body ignites. I kiss you and I know that I'm falling in love. [kisses her] I am in love with you.

Katherine

There's just so much you don't know about me, Stefan.

Stefan

More to learn and love.

Katherine

I must say goodnight.

Katherine

Go ahead, Stefan. Torture me, keep me captive, drain me of blood until my body turns to dust. It'll never change the truth.

Stefan

It wasn't real. I remember you compelling me.

Katherine

Only after I showed you who I really was. You were so scared of me. I had to take away your fear.

Stefan

Well, whatever feelings I had back then...they've all turned to hate.

Katherine

Love, hate. Such a fine line. I can wait.

Stefan

You knew that they were going to burn the vampires in the church?

Katherine

I practically lit the match back there.

Stefan

They were your friends. They were your family. You just sold them out?

Katherine

Without blinking.

Stefan

So you sent 26 of your friends to their death just to fake your own? No. You were running from something. What was it?

Katherine

Everyone has a past, Stefan. Mine needed to stay far, far away. But thanks to you, my plan nearly failed before it even began.

Stefan

We came for you. We tried to save you.

Katherine

I didn't want to be saved.

Stefan

Then Damon and I died for nothing. For nothing!

Katherine

No, Stefan! You died for love!

Stefan

So you going to tell me why you came back here? Or we're you just playing another game?

Katherine

Have you not heard a word that I've said? I've answered that question five times over, now.

Stefan

All right. Good. Make it six.

Katherine

I want what I want, Stefan. And I don't care what I have to do to get it. My list of victims is a long one, and I have no problem adding one more name to that list.

Stefan

Come on, Katherine. If you wanted Elena dead, you would have done it by now.

Katherine

I still can. If I have to, I will snap her neck like a twig. And you know it.
