What's that face?
What face? [does his eye thing]
That face.
I'm happy.
“We'll Always Have Bourbon Street” · Season 4, Episode 8
In this episode: Damon Salvatore (6), Elena Gilbert (2), Stefan Salvatore (2), Lexi (1)
The sire bond's not that literal, Stefan.
Really? Name one thing that you've asked her [Elena] to do that you haven't gotten.
You know what I haven't gotten? Blame, guilt. I get it Stefan. I get that you're pissed that Elena dumped you because she has feelings for me. Bet you blame the sire bond for that, too.
Yeah. You know what, I absolutely do.
Why, because it's impossible to think that she could have feelings for me?
No. Because it's impossible for her to be so blind that she doesn't see how wrong you are for her.
He [Stefan] needs balance and restraint.
What makes you think that I'm not balanced and restrained?
The fact that you never have been.
Charlotte. Please tell me you had a full life and you've done something other than counting bricks.
CCharlotte
Of course I have. I'm not crazy.
Then why're you still here?
CCharlotte
You know when someone breaks up with you and there's a song that reminds you of them? First you hate it, but then it brings back all the good memories of them. Counting the bricks is my song and I've been playing it for decades.
That's a really long time. Stop listening to the same song.
Yeah. Well, uh, you know in the plus column, you know New Orleans better than anyone in the world.
CCharlotte
So you're just leaving me again?
No. I need to get on with my life. And so do you.
CCharlotte
I don't want to live without you.
If you want to make me happy, you will. You just, forget about me. You'll never think of me again and you'll find someone new and you'll be happier than ever. Please, stop crying.
CCharlotte
I'm never gonna be able to forget about you.
Yes, you are. And I'm never going to be happy until you realize that you're never gonna have the life you deserve if I'm in it. Goodbye Charlotte.
Hey.
Hey back.
How was your night?
Awful. Yours?
Same.
Elena,um, we need to talk.
I know that I am sired to you, Damon. Caroline told me. That's what you and Stefan were doing, isn't it? Is there a way to break it?
Not exactly. Which is why we need to talk.
Tyler told me the bond doesn't affect how I feel, just a way I act. My feelings for you haven't changed. Nothing is changed.
Everything is changed, Elena.
Ok. Fine. I've changed. So have you, Damon. And I'm happy. Just like you were yesterday morning before we knew about any of this.
You know what would make me happy? To know that this entire time that I've been completely in love with you that what you actually felt for me was real.
It is real. I know that it is, Damon. I know what you're about to do. Please, don't do this to me.
I don't wanna do this , Elena. I'm not the good guy, remember? I'm the selfish one. I take what I want. I do what I want. I lie to my brother, I fall in love with his girl, I don't do the right thing...but I have to do right thing by you.
[Takes his hand and presses it to her heart] Does this feel wrong? [Places her hand on his cheek and caresses him face] Does this feel wrong?
