(on saving Elena) I can't think of a better reason to die.

Excuse me. To whom it may concern; you're making a big mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. You hear that? I repeat: you cannot beat me. So I want the girl, on the count of three, or heads will roll. Are we clear on this now?
I'm sorry.
About what?
For being the guy that made you turn 145 years ago.
Enough, Stef. It's late. No need to rehash that.
Well, you know what, I've never said it out loud. I guess I just need to say it and you need to hear it. I'm sorry. What I did was selfish. I didn't wanna be alone. Guess I just needed my brother.
I just...have to say something.
Why do you have to say it with my necklace?
Because what I’m about to say is...probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life.
Damon, don’t go there...
I just have to say it once - you just need to hear it. (pause) I love you, Elena. And it’s because I love you that...I can’t be selfish with you. And why you can't know this. I don’t deserve you. But my brother does. (kisses her forehead; pulls back to look at her face) God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do.
Okay, so you're saying is the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?
Yes.
No.
What they are saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true..
Which it is.
...and you're not just saying it so we don't kill you...
Which I'm not.
...we're looking at a solid...maybe.
She's in denial.
Shut up, Damon.
Being in love with your brother's girlfriend must be difficult.
I'm not in love with anyone.
Wanna try that again?
I'm a terrible liar... I'm even worse at duplicity.
Elena (to Katherine): It must be painful to desiccate and mummify. I can't even imagine.
My family, your true ancestors, they disowned me. My indiscretions were not tolerated at that time. I had a baby out of wedlock. Shame.
If you're setting me up in any way, I will rip your heart out and shove it down your throat. Something I'm very good at.
Living out of a suitcase is better than dying so you can have you blood spilled over a silly little rock.
Katherine (to Elena): I will always look out for myself. If you're smart, you'll do the same.
Witches and their spells. So many people to sacrifice. Have you noticed that Elena always kisses you? Lets just say I have been brushing up on my acting skills.
I'll be the safest psychotic bitch in town.
