How many times do I have to tell you, Elena? Stop trusting vampires!
“Before Sunset” · Season 3, Episode 21
In this episode: Damon Salvatore (9), Klaus Mikaelson (6), Stefan Salvatore (4), Elena Gilbert (3), Alaric Saltzman (3), Bonnie Bennett (3), Abby (3), Jeremy Gilbert (1)
(catching Caroline in the hall after she escapes Alaric) It’s okay, you’re safe. We’ll save Elena. You go straight home. You stay inside, do you understand?
(to Alaric) There’s a reason why Esther used me to make you, isn’t there? She didn’t want you to be immortal, so she tied your life to a human one. Mine. That way you have only one life span to kill all vampires and then you’ll be gone. So when I die, you die too.
What do you mean he turned? I thought you were standing guard.
Don't blame me! Blame Bonnie the blood bank.
That's why I'm here. I'm leaving town. Just need to pick up a few road trip necessities. Spare tire, flashlight... doppelganger.
(to Bonnie and Jeremy after Klaus throws a piece of a wooden fence) Get down! (to Klaus) Missed me! (after Klaus throws another piece) Missed me again!
You know, if this does go off and we drop the history teacher in the Atlantic,I'm still leaving with Elena.
I'll go with you.
Really. What's the catch?
There's no catch. I turn my back on everything here to make sure Elena's safe.
That is what makes you her better option.
(about Abby) I'm sorry. I forgot about her stellar record in the dependability department.
Why didn't I have to be invited in?
Only vampires live here.
We'd signed over the deed to Elena, but she died and the seal broke. And... it's a very long story. Blood?
It's too dangerous. Your magic comes from the earth. It's pure. This spell asks you to tap into dark places. Places of temptation. Places you can't handle.
You turned your back on me for 16 years. You have no idea what I can handle.
Got to say I'm team Bonnie on this one. How hard can it be to parch a vampire?
To stop a vampire's heart, you need to find a balance among the living. Can you handle that?
What? What does that mean? Bonnie, I don't speak witch.
I have to stop a human heart.
Before we all walk through these doors lets get on the same page, shall we? I created your vampire bloodline, therefor I am responsible for your lives. And Tyler"s life, Caroline's life. And of course, Abby's life. Should anything go wrong.
Or your just lying t o save your ass.
I'm not lying. But go ahead, call my bluff--let the teacher kill me, You'll all be dead soon thereafter.
(About Caroline) She's a murderer. She told me she killed someone and liked it.
Klaus is going to kill Elena.
What?
What are you talking about? Klaus needs Elena's blood to make hybrids. She's the last person that he'd kill.
The witch bound my life to Elena's. If she dies, I die. Klaus figured that out, and now he's taken her. Now I'm trapped here until the sun goes down, so you two better get to what you do best-- saving Elena's life.
What about your hybrids? You'll need more than this to create your army?
These last few liters will have to suffice. You see... by attempting to kill us, my mother strengthened the bond between my siblings and I. I don't need hybrids. I have my family.
If you believe that, why take my blood at all? [pause] You want a back-up family. You know that your siblings will never trust you again.
You know Stefan blames me for trying to tear him from his brother? But I think we both know who really came between them. You. That's why you won't choose. You know once you pick a Salvatore, you'll destroy their bond. Consider this me doing you a favor. Once you're dead, you won't have to choose. No broken hearts. Their family stays intact. But just between us girls, who would you have picked?
Rot in hell.
Hm. You're welcome.
