There are plenty more of these to go around. Who's next? I can do this all day.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Hi.
Are you feeling better?
Yeah.
So it's all healed up?
Fresh as a daisy.
Good. (slaps him)
[listening from the living room] Ouch.
Yeah. I taught her that swing.
You know it's not polite to eavesdrop, right?
Hey, I'm short on time here, don't rob me of what little joy I have.
You know there's something else out there, right? There has to be. Silas' whole agenda was to find peace with his one true love, and whatever peace is, it's out there. I figure once we've served our time for all the bad things we've done, then it's just about letting go and moving on.
And how are we supposed to do that when the knuckleheads we care about can't seem to keep their lives straight?
Yeah.
So, uh, what's up?
Honestly, Stefan, I just wanted to thank you for sticking by me when I was at my worst, for believing that I was still in there. Even after everything I put you through, you... you never gave up on me.
I, uh, I kind of owed you one.
Here. It's yours. I want you to have it.
[opens hand to reveal the cure] No, Elena. I'm not--
Stefan, the only person worse at being a vampire than me is you. Human blood is your downfall. You got the raw end of the vampire deal. The rest of us will be fine. We'll survive. I mean, you taught us! You deserve whatever you want out of life. You deserve this.
How'd you get here so fast?
I was already on my way. I received your graduation announcement. It's very subtle. I assume you're expecting cash.
That or a mini fridge.
Well I had considered offering you a first-class ticket to join me in New Orleans, but I knew what your answer would be, so I opted for something I knew you would accept. Tyler is now free to return to Mystic Falls.
What?
He's your first love. I intend to be your last, however long it takes. [Kisses her cheek] Congratulations, Caroline. Lets get out of here before 12 angry hybrids decide to pick a fight.
I wanted to apologize.
Good.
Let me finish! I said wanted to. And then I realized, I'm not sorry!
You would rather die than be human, and you expect me to be okay with that?
I didn't say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said I'm not sorry! You know what I really am? Selfish. Because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I would rather have died than be human. I'd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you only to lose you when I'm too old and sick and miserable and you're still you. I'd rather die right now than spend my last, final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was because that's who I am, Elena, and I'm not gonna change, and there's no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I'm wrong for you!
Fine. Then I'm not sorry either. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything. That in death, you're the one that made me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person. You've made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices that I have made, this will prove to be the worst one, but I am not sorry that I'm in love with you! I love you, Damon. I love you.
You got the girl, man.
I got the girl.
Now don't screw it up.
Well, with you looking over my shoulder, how can I?
New York?
Too close.
Ohh! Vegas!
Oh. No. Too touristy.
Look. I know you think I'm joking, but you are leaving. You just graduated for the millionth time. It's time to start living your life.
What if Elena was the one?
She was, and she will always be an epic love. Contrary to popular belief, there are actually multiple ones, especially for a vampire. The only way to find another is to let go and move on.
Never been to Portland. [he looks over to see an empty seat] See you, Lexi.
Happy graduation, cupcake.
[Matt gets a visit from Rebekah.]
Hey. What are you doing here?
I just wanted to see if you were okay. Rough day and whatnot.
Thanks. Look, I'd invite you in, but I– promised Tyler I was gonna keep this a low-vampire zone.
I know that we were under duress today, so– whatever, you know, plans that we were making– I understand if you don't want to.
You and I– this isn't gonna work. I need to keep my love life a low-vampire zone, too, okay?
[Smiling] Of course. I get it. [Starts to leave]
[Stops Rebekah from leaving] So whatever happens on the road, stays on the road, all right? [Rebekah turns around] That little wedding town in Italy? Don't get any ideas about turning me into a vampire so that we can live eternally ever after, you know what I mean?
I'm sorry, are you saying that you–?
I've never set one foot outside of this town. I have no college plans, no idea what the future holds for me, but I do know that it's time that I start truly living. And since you almost killed me this year, I figured it's your obligation to show me how.
[Smiling] Okay.
What are you doing?
Would you believe I'm having a bad day? [She picks Elena up and throws her against a wall of lockers. Elena gets up but Katherine speeds over and kicks up her leg to press her booted foot over Elena's neck.]
It started when Bonnie denied me my Silas-like immortality.
Of course, because Katherine Pierce can't be happy with good old vampire-caliber immortality. [Elena finally manages to throw off Katherine's foot and uses her leverage to slam Katherine to the ground. Katherine immediately slams Elena back against another wall of lockers. Elena rips off one of the locker doors and swings against at Katherine's face. Katherine grabs onto the door.]
I deserved it. I never had a graduation, or a prom, or, you know, a life. But you did.
You have everything, and it's not because you're a good little girl who deserves happiness, it's because you stole mine.
I stole your happiness? You killed my brother!
I'll admit, that was nasty.
I have nothing. [She beats Elena with the stick.] But I'm about to change that. [She kicks Elena.]
Kicking someone while they're down. Classy to the end, Katherine.
[laughing] Your end. [She stabs the broken end of the stick into Elena's throat. Elena gulps and struggles against it as Katherine digs it in deeper.]
Bye-bye, little girl.[Elena finally pulls the cure out of her pocket and shoves it into Katherine's mouth and forces her jaw to close around it. Katherine's eyes widen as the cure dissolves in her mouth, and falls to the floor beside Elena, unconscious.]
Have a nice human life, Katherine.
[in Elena's form] Don't bother. I'm not in there anymore.
Silas. You were stone. They saw you. The spell worked.
That's the funny thing about spells. They're bound by nature, and nature demands balance, so every spell has a loophole. The spell that turned me to stone was bound by a witch, a living witch, so when that witch died, the spell broke.
Bonnie. Bonnie's not dead.
Doesn't matter, does it? And here's where the mystery of me comes full circle. I created the immortality spell 2,000 years ago. I could never die, so nature needed to find a balance, a version of me that could die. A shadow self; a doppelganger.
So this is finally your real face? You're another one of them?
Not exactly. Hello, my shadow self.
Oh. I'm outing myself as not-Stefan. Obviously. Don't be afraid. Don't move.
SSheriff
What's happening?
We've met before, actually, when I was appearing as your daughter. To bash your head in? Does that ring any bells?
SSheriff
Silas.
Indeed. I am a 2,000- year-old immortal that Caroline and her friends thought they got rid of.
SSheriff
Are you appearing to me as Stefan?
Well, yes and no. This is my true form. Stefan is my doppelganger.
What if I get a sudden craving and want to eat her?
Why are you in my brother's bathtub?
Why aren't you?
I will say that's a tempting offer.
Mm. He flirts. I like Elena-less Stefan.
You know, human looks better on you than I would have guessed, Katherine.
I think you just accidentally gave me a compliment.
Nope. I mean it. You sitting here all weak and vulnerable. It works.
