Don't fight it, Stefan. You loved me once. You can love me again. I love you, Stefan.

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.
What do you want?
I wanted to see you. I've missed you, Stefan. Indulge me for a little while, please?
Why are you back in town?
Three reasons: you, you, and... you.
See, I can't quite get that down. It just kind of...gets stuck in my throat.
You know, it's the truth. Deep down inside that gorgeous body of yours is the Stefan that fell in love with me, too.
What do you want?
So this is where you spend your time when you're not stabbing people in the back.
I tricked you into telling me the truth. That's not stabbing you in the back. That's using your own tactics against you. (gets up to leave)
Where are you going?
I made myself clear, Damon. I want nothing to do with you.
What do you know about werewolves?
I know not to pet one.
Why did you keep this picture? Why not burn it? Tear it up? You wanna know why I came back? Well, I have a better question. Why did you? Elena? No. You came back here to fall in love with me all over again, didn't you Stefan?
I've no secrets. Only dirty shame.
We haven't met. Mason Lockwood.
Oh, sure, hey. Damon Salvatore.
I know. I've heard great things about you.
Really? That's weird. 'Cause I'm a dick.
[In 1864]
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.
There's just so much you don't know about me, Stefan.
More to learn and love.
I must say goodnight.
[Present-Time]
Go ahead, Stefan. Torture me, keep me captive, drain me of blood until my body turns to dust. It'll never change the truth.
I never compelled your love; it was real. And so was mine.
It wasn't real. I remember you compelling me.
Only after I showed you who I really was. You were so scared of me. I had to take away your fear.
Well, whatever feelings I had back then...they've all turned to hate.
Love, hate. Such a fine line. I can wait.
[Playing Pictionary, Damon is drawing]
Dress. Ballerina.
Puppy! Puppy...puppy with a tutu?
No...
Dog. Hound. Hound dog. You ain't nothing but a hound dog!
Dances with Wolves.
[Stops drawing] Mason wins again.
How is that a wolf?
You knew that they were going to burn the vampires in the church?
I practically lit the match back there.
They were your friends. They were your family. You just sold them out?
Without blinking.
So you sent 26 of your friends to their death just to fake your own? No. You were running from something. What was it?
Everyone has a past, Stefan. Mine needed to stay far, far away. But thanks to you, my plan nearly failed before it even began.
Once George told me that the roundup was imminent, I made sure I could see you one last time. But your father used your love for me against you. He poisoned your blood. We didn't have long. Then Damon, being Damon, nearly ruined everything.
We came for you. We tried to save you.
I didn't want to be saved.
Then Damon and I died for nothing. For nothing!
No, Stefan! You died for love!
Alaric, catch that game next week?
Yeah. Looking forward to it.
Hey you know, I should probably head out, too. [to Jenna] Jenna, you are a wonderful hostess.
And you are a terrible artist.
Is that the only thing that makes me terrible?
Still deciding.
Good enough for me. [to Alaric] Alaric...let's not catch that game next week.
Mason [to Damon, after being stabbed by him] Now you made an enemy.
So you going to tell me why you came back here? Or we're you just playing another game?
Have you not heard a word that I've said? I've answered that question five times over, now.
All right. Good. Make it six.
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.
Come on, Katherine. If you wanted Elena dead, you would have done it by now.
I still can. If I have to, I will snap her neck like a twig. And you know it.
[Pause]
I don't want you seeing Elena anymore. If you don't remove her from your life, I will kill everyone that she loves in her life while she watches,and then I will kill her while you watch.
(...)
I've missed you, Stefan. I just wanted to spend some quality time with you.
Tell me how the curse is triggered.
If I tell you, you won't be able to think about anything else. I don't want that for you.
I think I can handle knowing.
Yeah. You think you can handle it, tough guy? You have no idea!
Do you want your stupid rock or not?!
Tell me where it is.
Tell me what triggers the curse!
You have to kill somebody! Human blood! You take a person's life away from them, then the curse is yours forever. Can you handle that?
