If I had a dollar for every time some evil vampire surprised me.
“The Sacrifice” · Season 2, Episode 10
In this episode: Damon Salvatore (11), Elena Gilbert (6), Stefan Salvatore (2), Caroline Forbes (2), Bonnie Bennett (2), Jeremy Gilbert (2), Katherine Pierce (2), Elijah (2)
Elena (to Damon): I don't question why you, and Stefan, and everyone else tries so hard to save me. You shouldn't question why I would try so hard to save all of you.
(pins Elena against the wall) Don't you dare.
Stefan's in there, Damon. How could you let this happen?!
What are you talking about? I was too busy saving you from your crazy Kamikaze mission!
You didn't even have to go after the moonstone in the first place.
It was the right call, Elena!
"Right call"?! How is any of this the right call?! (shoves against him) Damon, let go of me! (struggles harder) Damon - LET GO OF ME! Let go of me! (hits him) Let go of me. Please...
(waits patiently) You done?
Of all the idiot plans, Stefan... I'll find a way to get you out.
Ah, it's alright, I'll...I'll handle myself. Bonnie has the moonstone. Work with her; try to figure out how to de-spell it.
You martyr yourself into a tomb and I get partnered with a semi-competent witch. Wonderful!
Keep Elena away from here.
(scoffs) Yeah, 'cause that'll be easy.
Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll protect her.
Promise.
That, right there, was the biggest mistake you've ever made.
