Matt Donovan quotes from The Vampire Diaries

Matt

In case Caroline didn't thank you for pulling her out of that hallucination earlier... thanks.

Rebekah

I'm just glad I got the chance to knock her upside the face.

Rebekah

Why won't you ever let me help you?

Matt

It's not you, I just... Look, people in this town have a bad habit of turning into vampires, and I'd like to graduate high school as a human.

Rebekah

It's just been settled. I'm gonna show you life as you've only dreamt it. We'll start in Italy. There's a lovely little church outside San Vittore in Brienno...

Romantic spot, popular for weddings.

Rebekah

And then I'll show you the Northern Lights in the springtime, the Simatai gorge from atop the Great Wall of China, every inch of the Louvre...

Matt

China, Paris, Northern Lights. It's a date.

Matt

Hey. What are you doing here?

Rebekah

I just wanted to see if you were okay. Rough day and whatnot.

Matt

Thanks. Look, I'd invite you in, but I– promised Tyler I was gonna keep this a low-vampire zone.

Rebekah

I know that we were under duress today, so– whatever, you know, plans that we were making– I understand if you don't want to.

Matt

You and I– this isn't gonna work. I need to keep my love life a low-vampire zone, too, okay?

Rebekah

[Smiling] Of course. I get it. [Starts to leave]

Matt

[Stops Rebekah from leaving] So whatever happens on the road, stays on the road, all right? [Rebekah turns around] That little wedding town in Italy? Don't get any ideas about turning me into a vampire so that we can live eternally ever after, you know what I mean?

Rebekah

I'm sorry, are you saying that you–?

Matt

I've never set one foot outside of this town. I have no college plans, no idea what the future holds for me, but I do know that it's time that I start truly living. And since you almost killed me this year, I figured it's your obligation to show me how.

Rebekah

[Smiling] Okay.

Damon

Rule number one, think of the worst thing Katherine Pierce has ever done to you. Rule number two, toast to the glory of her impending death. Rule number three, if you come across something that's worse-- which you will-- repeat rules one and two. She pretended to be buried in a tomb for 145 years while I waited for her lying ass. (Damon drinks) Wait. Does that beat pretended to be Elena and kissing me on the front porch of your old house?

Jeremy

I don't think so.

Damon

I don't think so either, damn. Quarterback, go.

Matt

Uh....

Damon

Think on that. Little Gilbert.

Jeremy

She fed me to Silas, and I died.

Damon

Doozy.

Jeremy

Then she made me crash my car into a pole and left me for dead. Again.

Damon

Doubly doozy. Drink.

Matt

My sister's dead because of her.

Damon

Yes, she is because I wouldn't have even been in town to turn Vicki into a murderous vampire if I wasn't trying to get Katherine out of the tomb she wasn't in. Group shot.

Elena

Seriously?

Matt

Elena, we were just, uh--

Elena

I know what you're doing. (to Jeremy) You're cut off. If anyone is drinking to Katherine's last days, it's gonna be me. She impersonated me repeatedly... Made Aunt Jenna stab herself in the stomach and cut off Uncle John's fingers.

Jeremy

He might have deserved that.

Bonnie

My Grams died trying to close a tomb. She wasn't in.

Caroline

Tyler's werewolf curse got triggered because of her.

Elena

Klaus followed her to Mystic Falls, and because of that, we lost Jenna.

Damon

And Alaric.

Matt

We're gonna need more booze.

Elena

She tried to kill me at least twice.

Caroline

She did kill me, although I'm weirdly better off.

Matt

So this anchor thing, does it mean that you'll, like, be able to feel Katherine's death or whatever?

Bonnie

I think so. I mean, she's human, but she's also a Doppelgänger and Traveler apparently.

Matt

So who else do you see over there? Anybody I know?

Bonnie

I see lots of people. My Grams, the other witches. Vicki. I just don't talk about it, you know, I just--

Vicki

Because it's depressing as hell. Tell Matty I love him.

Matt

What's happening?

Bonnie

She's here. She said she loves you.

Vicki

Tell him that I watch over him and no more knocking around with that blond original chick who almost got him killed.

Matt

Wait. Wait. What's happening? What am I missing?

Tyler

Me.

Caroline

Tyler?

Tyler

Rebekah says to tell you that I'm her parting gift. Hey, Care.

Caroline

Hi.

Stefan

We've really gone through four bottles of bourbon today?

Alaric

Can someone really tell these idiots to lay off the booze?

Bonnie

Oh, my god.

Jeremy

Alaric?

Damon

Ric's here?

Jeremy

Where the hell have you been? I thought you bailed on us to go find peace or something.

Alaric

Do you honestly think I'd leave Damon in charge and never look back?

Damon

He's talking about me, isn't he?

Jeremy

He says you're a dick.

Damon

Cheers, buddy.

Alaric

Cheers.

Bonnie

Katherine.

Damon

Ding-dong. Does that mean the witch is dead?

Katherine

No. Uh-uh. It's too soon. I can't.

Tyler

I have to pee.

Nadia

Hybrids pee?

Matt

There's got to be a fire hydrant joke in there somewhere.

Tyler

Hilarious.

Katherine

Ok. So. Who's got the knife? Which one of you is gonna get to kill the elusive Katherine Pierce once and for all? (no one says anything) What? Suddenly everyone's speechless? When I was on my deathbed you all had plenty to say. Is it you, Tyler? Because I triggered your werewolf curse? Have you an identity and made you better?

Tyler

You've done nothing for me.

Katherine

Oh, please, Tyler. If I hadn't walked into your life, you'd just be a wasted nobody with a boozy mom and a temper problem.

Caroline

Don't. Don't.

Katherine

And you. I'm not worried about you offing me. Because we both know I made you better by making you a vampire.

Caroline

Goodbye, Katherine.

Katherine

Bye-bye, Caroline. Ooh. The one girl here who actually appreciates how beautiful you are. You wouldn't stab me in the heart, would you? Matty blue. No, I don't think so. You will definitely go down as the best night I never had. Oh, well.

Matt

Oh, well.

Katherine

Well, little Gilbert, it was nice to have a brother for a second there. When you weren't being so damn annoying. Bon Bon, no need for good-byes. I'll see you on the flip side. Damon. Oh, how you'd love nothing more than to drive that blade right through me.

Damon

We've already done this, Kitty Kat. I've said all I needed to say.

Katherine

I know, but I never got to say what I needed to say to you. I'm sorry. You blame me for who you are. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I turned you. I'm sorry that you didn't get to die as a forgotten nobody on a bloody battlefield, and your father didn't get to live another day to be disgraced by you. Damon, I'm sorry that I have your life purpose. Passion. Drive. Desire. I'm sorry that you are who you are because I'm the one that taught you how to love.

Damon

I'll see you in hell, Katherine.

Katherine

Stefan. You know, I always wondered what it would be like to be loved by you. You've got to admit, that one fleeting moment... Your feelings were real. This truly has been the role of a lifetime. Stefan, I love you. I've always loved you. (Katherine kisses Stefan, Stefan stabs her) Then I guess this is how our love story ends.

Elena

Am I seriously that easy to impersonate, or do you guys not know me at all?

Jeremy

Elena, what's going on?

Elena

When have I ever danced on a bar half-naked? Do you think that I would come to a college bar with my underage brother and do tequila shots?

Matt

Elena, what are you talking about?

Elena

I'm not Elena, Matt. I'm Katherine. It's not me! You guys know me - I wouldn't do that. Guys, Katherine has taken over my body. This isn't me!

Damon

Oh, I’m so sorry to interrupt...whatever weird ritual you two were doing but, I just wanted to de-passenger the great citizens of Mystic Falls using the magical Traveler knife so, hand it over.

Matt

It’s gonna be a problem...

Damon

Five words that make me wanna vamp-toss my keys into your chest cavity. Little Gilbert, help me in the fight against my dark side and elaborate, please.

Jeremy

We can’t find it.

Damon

As in, you lost it?

Matt

As in, it’s not here!

Damon

You're right. Don’t invite me in, because I will kill both of you.

Jeremy

[To Matt and Sarah] I keep trying to cancel Bonnie's phone, but I can't without her PIN. Why can't I remember her PIN?

Matt

[Grabs Jeremy, despite Jeremy trying to break free] [To Jeremy] It's okay. It's okay.

[With her hand behind Jeremy's back] [To Jeremy] It's gonna be okay.

Jeremy

[To Sarah] NO, IT'S NOT! [To Matt] She's gone. Bonnie's gone.

Jeremy

(as they drag Enzo into the basement) Wouldn't it be billion times easier just to stake him in the heart?

Matt

Yeah, but he wouldn't suffer.

Enzo

[To Matt] So– how was your little coffee date? [Chuckles] You fancy her, don't you?

Matt

What was the point of this?

Enzo

You were a test. I wanted to see what kind of a person the last remaining Salvatore really is.

Matt

[Confused] What kind of person she is?

Enzo

Well, she spurned your comically inept attempts to charm her and yet proved to be a good Samaritan when you needed assistance. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say her purity ranks about 9.5. When I'm through with her, she'll be a one.

Matt

So, what? You're gonna compel her to be bad?

Enzo

I'm not gonna compel her. I want Sarah to know that everything she did was of her own free will.

Matt

[Confused] What are you talking about?

Enzo

I'm going to insinuate myself into her life, make her do things she'd never dream of doing until she begs me to make her a vampire. [Chuckles] Stefan thought he could protect her. I'm gonna show him how wrong he is. [Starts the engine]

Damon

[To Kelly] What Did Katherine promise you?

Kelly

Nothing!

Matt

Then why help her?

Kelly

You don't get it, she promised me nothing- oblivion, emptiness. Anything is better than endless torture in hell. And all I had to do is to keep you idiots distracted until the fire started.

Damon

What is Katherine planning?!

Kelly

You don't have to bully me, she wanted me to let you know. She's gonna burn down Mystic Falls. With hellfire. Tonight. (Chuckles)

Matt

She's talking about the bell.
