(referring to Stefan) It's so hard to see him locked up like this.
You're the one who locked him up.
You helped.
I couldn't have him running around chewing on people while the town was looking for vampires, now, could I?
It had nothing to do with you actually caring about him...
Your thing, not mine.
So, you'll be here again tonight?
Is that a problem?
Yes. You're a complete nuisance.
What's his favorite type-- um...
Type of what?
Type of...animal blood that he prefers?
Ewww. Gross.
Your joking doesn't help.
It helps me.
(chuckles)
Hurry up, I can't babysit all night. I've things to do.
I would say "drop dead", but...
Ha-ha. Stefan likes...puppy blood. Little Golden Retriever puppies with cute, floppy ears. That's his favorite.
I know you know.
Know what?
It's really silly to keep pretending. What do you think your mother would say if she knew you were dating a vampire?
Which mother?
(1864)
The sun hurts my eyes.
That's part of it. The muscle aches, the sick feeling. Emily says it's our bodies pushing us to feed; to complete the transition.
That's not gonna happen.
Is that your choice, then? To die, instead?
Isn't it yours? This was all to be with Katherine. She's gone. I want it over.
Your uncle John wants us dead.
Oh, you don't know that.
Yes, I do. He's a hater, Jeremy.
Well, I'm not.
No. You're something else entirely.
Oh, yeah? What would that be?
My weakness.
Elena (about Damon and Alaric): Are you two friends now?
I don't have any friends, Elena.
Right.
Give me the address.
What, so you can go without me? No, I don't think so.
I'm not going with you. You tried to kill me.
Well, you did kill me.
You're taking a stupid risk. I could hurt you.
Then I'm stupid.
I don't want to survive... after what I've done, I just want it to be over.
(1864)
(stands when Stefan appears in the doorway) Dear God...
Even in our death, you only feel shame?
You're one of them now...
No. Father, I came to say goodbye.
I watched you die...
You were there when we were shot?
I pulled the trigger myself.
...You killed your own sons?
You were both dead to me the moment you sided with the vampires. I only thank God that your mother isn't alive to see the disgrace you've become.
This was a real dead-end.
I wouldn't beat myself up over it, man. What did you think you were gonna find? Isobel with a cigar and slippers?
(laughs) Oh man, I-- I gotta stop this. I can't keep searching for her.
Really? After only two years? That's actually...moderately healthy.
What are you goin' on — a hundred and forty-six?
I figured the two hundred mark is probably a good stopping point.
She charmed me, your wife, Isobel. She talked a good game, man - she was smart. She had this excitement in her eyes... I probably should've known there was something different about her; some tie to Katherine. There had to be some reason I didn't kill her...
That's enough, Damon, I don't wanna hear anymore. I just don't want to waste anymore of my life searching for answers I really don't want.
Ugh. God. You're still here?
Were you expecting anything else?
Nope. (sighs and takes a seat)
So, how was the "errand"?
Futile. Although I think I witnessed the teacher having an existential crisis. Has Stefan eaten yet?
I thought you didn't care.
Chalk it up to morbid curiosity.
I think he's getting there. But he's got a lot of guilt that he has to deal with, and it doesn't help that you've spent the last hundred and forty-five years punishing him for Katherine getting caught.
This is my fault now?
No, it's no one's fault, Damon, I'm just...saying...you're not exactly innocent. You've made it your life's mission to make him miserable.
(stands up) Let me ask you a question. In all this important soul-searching and cleansing of the demons of Stefan's past, did you ever manage to get the rest of the story?
He said there was more...
Yeah. That's an understatement.
From the moment Stefan had his first taste of human blood, he was a different person. I suppose I should thank him - it's been a hell of a ride.
[1864]
You've transitioned.
You'd have rather found me dead?
Katherine saved my life once. I owed her. But that doesn't mean I'd wish her curse on anyone.
It feels more like a gift.
That will change.
Why is that?
Because even in death, your heart is pure, Stefan. I sense that about you. That will be your curse.
