Our life is one big proverbial coin toss.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Now what can I get you? Do you want some tea? Maybe some vodka? Both will help you sleep. [Elena sighs] I know. I'm being smothering. It's what I do.
(chuckles) No. It's..it's nice.
(chuckles) I'm thinking... maybe tea with vodka
(flashback)
You didn't say it back.
What?
You know what. You can't string him along, Elena. If you're not into it anymore, just...tell him.
I'm sorry that I strung you along. I should have figured out what I wanted, and just been honest about it. And now I'm making the same mistakes with Stefan and Damon. It's not right, what I'm doing to them, either. I--I have to let one of them go.
Which one?
Why should she help you? All you've done is screw her over.
And for that I am deeply ashamed. But know this--she could have been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight. So, Elena, I leave it to you to decide whether to trust me or not.
Damon (over the phone,yelling): NOT! Hellooo! Did that concussion give you brain damage?! His lunatic siblings will kill you the first chance they get!
Rebekah and Kol will honor the terms. If you return Klaus’ body to us, Elena will come to no harm.
I'm not halfway out of Virginia and Elena sells our souls to the Originals?
It's her call.
You know what else is her call? Everything bad ever.
Where's the body? As long as it's unspoiled, Alaric is one witch away from finding him.
Hidden. I was going to use Unit 666, but I figured that would be a little obvious. So... 1020. Mini fridge, a couple of bird cages, box full of Playboys. One beef jerkified Original.
Bonnie just left. Rebekah should be here soon to pick up the body.
I got Caroline and Elijah in place. Jeremy's gonna lead Alaric to us.
You just had to let her make the choice, didn't you?
What would you have done, Damon?
Grabbed her, gagged her, thrown her in a well. I don't know, anything other than let her trust Elijah!
(chuckles) You know she'd just hate you for it, right?
Yet she'd be alive and she'd hate me. Thus the eternal difference between you and me, brother
Damon (to whom he thinks is Rebekah): It's about time, sexy-bex.
Damon (to Stefan): Call me if you cough up a lung.
We have to go back. Listen to me, Matt. If Klaus is the one that turned their bloodline, then they're all gonna die. (shouting) We have to go back, Matt!
Elena...
What?
Damon's not with them.
...What?
He's a hundred miles out of town. I can keep driving to him, or I can turn around and go back to Stefan. It's your choice.
Since I'm possibly a dead man, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course.
If it was just down to him and me, and you had to make a choice on who got the good-bye... who would it be?
I love him, Damon. He came into my life at a time when I needed someone, and I fell for him instantly. And no matter what I feel for you, I...I never un-fell for him.
Hey, I get it. It's Stefan. It's always going to be Stefan.
I can't think about 'always'. All I can think about is right now. And I care about you, Damon. Which is why I have to let you go. (crying) I mean, maybe if you and I had...met first...
Maybe...
(flashback)
(turns from looking at the stars when he hears Elena's voice in the distance)
Elena (talking on the phone): I know, Bonnie - you're right. You and my mom both are. I just can't bring myself to tell him. At least not tonight. I'll call you later. (hangs up)
Damon (under the impression that Elena is Katherine): Katherine.
Um...no. I- I'm Elena.
Oh. You- you just look... I'm sorry. You just...really remind me of someone. I'm Damon.
Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere.
You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself.
It's Mystic Falls. Nothing bad ever happens here. (pauses, then gestures to her phone) I got into a fight with my boyfriend.
'Bout what, may I ask?
Life; the future. He's got it all mapped out.
And you don't want it?
I don't know what I want.
Well, that's not true. You want what everybody wants.
What? Mysterious stranger who has all the answers?
Hmm. Well, let's just say I've been around a long time. I've learned a few things.
So, Damon, tell me. What is it that I want?
You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, and adventure, and even little danger.
So...what do you want?
Ah... (horn honks in the distance; Elena looks)
That's my parents. (turns back to Damon)
I want you to get everything you're looking for. But right now I want you to forget that this happened. I can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Good night, Elena.
Where is she?
Damon-
Where is she?
Wait! (stops him) You need to know, when Jeremy brought Elena in here earlier tonight, her injuries were worse than I let on. It wasn’t a concussion. It was a cerebral hemorrhage - bleeding on the brain.
What are you saying?
He was so worried, I didn’t want to tell him. But I helped her. She needed my help.
Damon (realizing what she means): You what?
You were in an accident.
Oh, my god. Matt, is he--
Alive? Ask Stefan, the hero.
He's fine.
Thank you. I thought that I-- how did you...
Save you? He didn't.
We all know the drill-- you feed or you die.. There is no door number three.
I was ready to die. I was supposed to die. I don't-- I don't want-- I can't be a vampire!!
