(to Caroline) I knew you hated me. I thought you deserved better than having someone like me in your life.
I was hurt, you know. You turned your back on me when I needed you. But– I could never hate you, Tyler.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
A hundred and forty-five years and... no last goodbye?
You don't get a goodbye.
Don't. Don't leave mad.
Us ending up on good terms is not exactly on my bucket list, Katherine.
Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out. There was nothing I could do. I didn't have a choice.
That's why I gave you the vervain. So you had a choice.
It was her or me. I chose her.
I helped you. You owed me. Now when Klaus dies you're going to walk out of here without a scratch and Elena's aunt dies. Somehow you're the only one that wins. How'd that happen?
I didn't let love get in the way.
Enjoy an eternity alone, Katherine.
[Bonnie and Jeremy are looking through grimoires.]
(to Bonnie) This is useless. In all these grimoires, there– there has to be something in here to keep Elena from becoming a vampire.
And we'll keep looking, until the last minute.
Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature. It's your duty to them, to keep this curse sealed.
GGreta
My duty is to Klaus. The new order.
[Klaus arrives.]
Glad to know I still have a dance partner.
Damon (to Elena): (carrying Elena's lifeless body) If you come back a vampire, I'll stake you myself. So don't. (sets her down) Also...I can’t stand the idea of you hating me forever.
How is she?
I don't know yet.
And Jenna?
(shakes his head)
No...
I'm sorry, Jeremy.
(Elena gasps, coming back to life)
Damon...?
How do you feel?
(slowly nods) I feel fine...
(Damon breathes huge sigh of relief)
(to Caroline) You were right. I shouldn't have come home.
No, you just– should have never left. And you shouldn't leave again.
You're kidding, right? This is the second time I've tried to kill you.
Well, no friendship is perfect.
(voiceover) Elena. It's no easy task being an ordinary parent to an extraordinary child. I failed in that task. And because of my prejudices, I failed you. I'm haunted by how things might have played out differently if I'd been more willing to hear your side of things. For me, it's the end. For you, a chance to grow old and someday do better with your own child than I did with mine. It's for that child that I give you my ring. I don't ask for your forgiveness or for you to forget. I ask only that you believe this. Whether you are now reading this as a human or as a vampire, I love you all the same. As I've always loved you, and always will. John.
Damon (to Stefan): You wanna do something for me? Don't tell Elena about this. The last thing she needs is another grave to mourn.
What do you want?
I want to apologize.
Damon-
Please. ...Elena, feeding you my blood, I was wrong.
Yes, you were.
And I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but... I need it.
You’re not dying today.
What’s the plan, Superman?
Alaric (on the phone): (drunk) Sorry, you’ve reached someone who’s currently not operating.
I need your help.
Well, you must have me confused with somebody else. You see, I'm not allowed to help - just idly sit by while my girlfriend gets sacrificed on an altar of blood.
Damon's dying.
...What?
Tyler Lockwood bit him. We don't have much time.
What do you need?
Elena(to Stefan, about Gone with the Wind): Look who couldn't resist an epic romance.
Whatever Damon's done, whatever has led him here, I'm the one who made him become a vampire in the first place. So if there's a chance for a cure, I owe it to him to find it.
(Damon is hallucinating)
Is it wrong for me to want you both?
Damon.
(turns from Katherine) Elena?
Don't you see? She was toying with you. All you had to do was say no; walk away. You had a choice.
You gave me your word, Niklaus.
