The Vampire Diaries · Season 1
You need to get rid of Silas' body.
Well, there's a slight problem, Medusa. Even though you turned him into stone, if he gets one more drop of blood he's back to his old mind tricks.
All right, so let's do what we should've done to Klaus. Let's drop his body in the middle of the ocean.
The truth is, there are no shortcuts. You are a vampire, Elena. Loss is part of the deal. Look, I've been alive for 163 years. I have lost more loved ones than I can count, and it hurts me every single time.
So there's no hope? You're saying I'm hopeless?
No, I'm saying you have to face your grief. But you don't have to do it alone... I can help you.
Oh, of course you can. God, Stefan! Always trying to help, and you're concerned for me, it's just like...
You're transferring your rage onto me, that's good.
Why won't you ever let me help you?
It's not you, I just... Look, people in this town have a bad habit of turning into vampires, and I'd like to graduate high school as a human.
Welcome back. It was our deaths that allowed this day to come to pass, massacres in the name of resurrecting the immortal Silas. 12 hybrids, 12 witches, the slaughter of innocents by the so-called hero protectors of Mystic Falls. They risked unleashing hell on earth for their own selfish gains, and today... that's exactly what they're going to get.
Damon, help me celebrate my 17th high school graduation. Hey! You remember my friend Lexi, of course.
Lexi back from the dead. Goodie.
What's up, buzz kill?
Stefan, you just gonna sit there and let her enact her ghostly revenge?
You reap what you sow, buddy.
Let's be very clear. Whatever time I have left here I sure as hell don't plan on wasting on you. Got me?
Yeah. Got you. So if you and Ric and little Gilbert are all flesh-like and real-seeming, that means something went horribly wrong when Bonnie tried to put the veil up, and here you two are having "Dance Party USA".
You're right. How selfish of me to be indulging in these precious moments with my formerly dead best friend. I should be sacrificing my own happiness for the good of others, right? I should be upstairs grooming my hero hair.
Are you drunk?
I don't know, mom, am I?
[Lexi laughs]
Well I guess that's one way to celebrate our supernatural apocalypse. Now care to hazard any guesses in what the hell went wrong?
I hit kind of a snag.
A snag? A snag is a bad yearbook picture. You hit a tsunami. Where are you?
Trying to fix it. I'm running into some trouble. I need to wait until the full moon tonight to have enough power to put the veil back up.
Are you telling me that we might graduate right smack in the middle of a ghost-filled expression triangle?
Maybe we should just cancel.
No! We are not going to cancel. Graduation is the most important event of our lives, the last ceremony of our youth. It is our rite of freaking passage! Hell will freeze over before I let anyone cancel graduation.
Can you not make jokes about hell freezing over? We're not that far off from that already.
So you get off on terrorizing innocent people?
And who might you be?
I'm the guy responsible for the 18-year-old you just threatened.
Well, that 18-year-old snapped my neck with her bare hands.
I'm also the guy who showed her how to do that.
Heh heh. That's ironic. You must not know a damn thing about fighting if you're trying to intimidate a dead guy packing C-4.
This is my bar, pal. Nobody's gonna blow it up.
It's just been settled. I'm gonna show you life as you've only dreamt it. We'll start in Italy. There's a lovely little church outside San Vittore in Brienno...
Romantic spot, popular for weddings.
And then I'll show you the Northern Lights in the springtime, the Simatai gorge from atop the Great Wall of China, every inch of the Louvre...
China, Paris, Northern Lights. It's a date.
I don't think red's really your color, Bon-Bon.
And here I was hoping the ghost of anyone would have killed you already.
Funny you should mention death because I'm here to collect that immortality you've promised me.
Funny you think you're still going to get it. I told you, Qetsiyah's the only witch who knows the immortality spell. If she was a no-show, you're out of luck.
See? Here's the thing, Bonnie. I can't disagree with you because I have been feeling out of luck lately, but you know who has been getting all of my luck? My beloved doppelganger, Elena. My shadow self is living a better life than I am, so if I don't get that immortality, I may just have to get rid of her altogether.
Did you just threaten my best friend? I can crush your skull without even flinching.
Go ahead. Make your move.
Hey.
Hey.
So I think there's some stuff you and I need to talk about.
Yes, we do, but first... (holds out the cure) Consider it a graduation present.
Damon, I can't take that.
Sure you can. Looks like it might be cherry flavored.
I'm not saying I don't want it. Obviously I want it, but that's the only one. There's only one cure, and the Hunters have made it pretty clear that they're willing to kill everyone in Mystic Falls until they get it.
Elena, take the damn thing. I want you to take it.
I can't.
Well, I guess that answers the sire bond question. (floor creaks) You gonna help a brother out or you just gonna lurk?
Look, Elena. You're my sister, and I love you no matter what you choose.
How is it even when you're dead, you're the bane of my existence?
You know, you're missing your chance to weigh in on the great Elena Gilbert cure debate.
What am I supposed to do, tell her it's her choice? Because that worked out so well. You know, it's funny. Those two are in there arguing about how to protect the world, and they have yet to address their biggest issue.
Enlighten me.
Sire bond's gone. Elena's emotions are back. She finally knows exactly how she feels.
And if whatever she feels is for you...
She's the love of my life. I'd go back to her in a heartbeat. But if that's not how she feels, then maybe that's exactly what I need to hear to get my ass out the door. Maybe I will move to Australia. I can live in a yurt.
Cheers to that.
Come on! We don't need the cure for Silas, he's calcified stone. Ugh.
What was that?
Nothing.
Take off your shirt.
Elena, there are children present.
Fine. [pulls the collar down to reveal Damon's shoulder] Damon, why isn't this healed?
Because the bullet was laced with werewolf venom, ok? Hunters are dicks.
We need Klaus. We need his blood.
Klaus would rather see me die. Plus, Klaus is a thousand miles away, sipping a hurricane on Bourbon street.
That wound will kill you.
What about the cure?
Jeremy's right. If you're human, the werewolf venom won't hurt you.
And here I was so moved by your speech to save mankind. (listens) Sounds like Vaughn's awake.
Damon, wait!
[cut to the living room]
Here.
What the hell are you doing?
Digging up Silas. Coming, Vaughn, or not?
Here we are!
What is it?
This is where I dumped Silas. Closed off to hikers, no food for animals, endlessly deep water.
I'm not following you, Damon. Where exactly did you put the body?
Well, um, let me see. So I– I dragged his stone ass through here, I flung him in that general direction, and he tumbled down into those weeds. I kinda lost him in the rocks. What do you know about physics? What is it? It's distance equals velocity times time? Guess I should have told you to bring some scuba gear, huh?
Fine. Okay. The first rule of truly living– do the thing you're most afraid of. [kisses Matt]
Klaus, now is not the time to decide that you are over me – I'm gonna call you every ten minutes until you get your ass here to save Damon's life.
