Damon Salvatore Quotes

04x15 - Stand by Me Season 4 / Episode 15: - Stand by Me

Rebekah: Where is it? The cure. I know someone has it.
Damon Salvatore: Yeah, someone. Katherine.
Rebekah: Katherine? The doppelganger?
Damon Salvatore: Yeah, sneaky little bitch must've been spying on us for weeks. She killed Jeremy. Or somebody did. He killed your brother. Let's not with the fake sad face.
Rebekah: I didn't say I was going to miss him. But I'm not heartless. He was Elena's only family.
Damon Salvatore: Good. Well, you can send flowers. After you help me find Bonnie.
Rebekah: We need to find Katherine.
Damon Salvatore: If there's one thing that's a guarantee in this miserable little world, it's that Katherine Pierce is gone. We need to find Bonnie. Oh, and beware of the immortal Silas. He was asleep in that cave; he's awake now.
04x04 - The Five Season 4 / Episode 4: - The Five

Elena Gilbert: Are you sure that you're okay with this?
Bonnie Bennett: If I could spell you out of wanting blood, I would, but I can't, so better you learn this now than at freshman orientation.
Elena Gilbert: Something tells me that college isn't in my future anymore.
Damon Salvatore: Oh, stop with the pity party. If I can go to college, you can go to college.
Bonnie Bennett: You went to college?
Damon Salvatore: Sure. Plenty of times. I always had a thing for sorority girls.
Bonnie Bennett: You're disgusting.
Damon Salvatore: [whispers] I know.

03x07 - Ghost World Season 3 / Episode 7: - Ghost World

Damon Salvatore: Greeting, Blondie... Witchie. I think you got your voodoo wires all crossed when you got rid of Vicki Donovan.
Bonnie Bennett: What do you mean? Why?
Damon Salvatore: Because I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost.
Bonnie Bennett: What?
Caroline Forbes: And why would you think that?
Damon Salvatore: Maybe because he chained me to a chair and shoved a hot poker in my chest. Let's just say I'm having deja vu.
Caroline Forbes: I thought you said ghosts couldn't physically interact with people.
Bonnie Bennett: They can't.
Damon Salvatore: Yeah, well, I don't have time for a vengeful Lockwood. When I kill someone, they're supposed to stay dead. Whatever you screwed up, fix it.
03x05 - The Reckoning Season 3 / Episode 5: - The Reckoning

03x03 - The End of the Affair Season 3 / Episode 3: - The End of the Affair

Elena Gilbert: Where were you in the 1920's? Paving the way for women's liberation?
Damon Salvatore: I was around. Chicago's a big city. Stefan was a cocky ripper douche. But i could avoid him and still indulge in a few Daisy Buchanan's of my own.

Damon Salvatore: His old stomping ground.
Elena Gilbert: I'm coming with you!
Damon Salvatore: No. You stay here and whip an actual plan. I'll come back when I find him.

03x02 - The Hybrid Season 3 / Episode 2: - The Hybrid

Damon Salvatore: 10:00 broadcast. She'll be here in a little bit. [to Elena] Hello, birthday girl.
Elena Gilbert: Drink. [takes Damon's glass] Jeremy's smoking again.
Damon Salvatore: Is his stash any good?
Elena Gilbert: You're an ass. [to Alaric] Talk to him, please. He looks up to you.
Damon Salvatore: [to Alaric] You're screwed.
03x01 - The Birthday Season 3 / Episode 1: - The Birthday

Alaric Saltzman: Ohhh... Vampire for sure.
Damon Salvatore: It's Stefan for sure.
Alaric Saltzman: How do you know?
Damon Salvatore: It's his signature. There is a reason they called him the ripper. He feeds so hard he blacks out, rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse. It's the damnedest thing. He puts the bodies back together.
03x01 - The Birthday Season 3 / Episode 1: - The Birthday

Damon Salvatore: Andie wants me to pick her up.
Alaric Saltzman: Your fake, compelled girlfriend wants you to be a chivalrous boyfriend?

Damon Salvatore: Drink more. It'll feel less weird.
03x01 - The Birthday Season 3 / Episode 1: - The Birthday

Elena Gilbert: All summer, every single time I came to you with a lead, you made me feel like an idiot for having hope.
Damon Salvatore: You were an idiot. We both were.
Elena Gilbert: Tell me what you know, Damon.
Damon Salvatore: I know you need to get back to your party, Elena.
Elena Gilbert: We're supposed to be in this together. Why didn't you tell me you've been tracking Klaus' victims?
Damon Salvatore: Because they're not Klaus' victims, Elena, they're Stefan's!
Elena Gilbert: What?
Damon Salvatore: He's left a trail of body parts up and down on the eastern seaboard.
Elena Gilbert: No. You're wrong.
Damon Salvatore: I've seen it happen before. He's flipped the switch, full blown ripper.
Elena Gilbert: Stop it, Damon.
Damon Salvatore: No, you stop it, Elena! Stop looking for him. Stop waiting for him to come home. Just stop! Stefan is gone and he's not coming back. Not in your lifetime.
02x22 - As I Lay Dying Season 2 / Episode 22: - As I Lay Dying

Damon Salvatore: This is even more pitiful than I thought.
Elena Gilbert: There's still hope.
Damon Salvatore: I've made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die.
Elena Gilbert: [Elena moves to lay by Damon and hold his hand] No. You don't.
Damon Salvatore: I do, Elena. It's ok. 'Cause if I'd have chosen differently, I wouldn't have met you. I'm so sorry. I've done so many things to hurt you.
Elena Gilbert: It's ok. I forgive you.
Damon Salvatore: I know you love Stefan. And it will always be Stefan. [Elena lays down on Damon] But I love you. You should know that.
Elena Gilbert: [Crying] I do.
Damon Salvatore: You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me.
Elena Gilbert: I like you now. Just the way you are. [She leans in and kisses Damon on the lips]
Damon Salvatore: Thank you.
Elena Gilbert: You're welcome.

Katherine Pierce: One hundred and forty-five years and no last goodbye?
Damon Salvatore: You don't get a goodbye.
Katherine Pierce: Don't-don't leave mad.
Damon Salvatore: Us ending up on good terms is not exactly on my bucket list, Katherine.
Katherine Pierce: Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out, there was nothing I could do, I didn't have a choice.
Damon Salvatore: That's why I gave you the vervain, so you *had* a choice.
Katherine Pierce: It was her or me, I chose her.
Damon Salvatore: 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. Sometimes you're the only one that wins, how'd that happen?
Katherine Pierce: I didn't let love get in the way.
Damon Salvatore: Enjoy eternity alone, Katherine.
02x21 - The Sun Also Rises Season 2 / Episode 21: - The Sun Also Rises

Damon Salvatore: Her soul? Really? You're going to put some faith in some act of God mumbo jumbo?
John Gilbert: I refuse to let Elena become the thing I spent my life protecting her against, and you can call that God, or mystical energy, or whatever you want, but yes, I'm putting my faith in it.
02x21 - The Sun Also Rises Season 2 / Episode 21: - The Sun Also Rises

John Gilbert: You ruined her life. You know that, right?
Damon Salvatore: I know that, John. I took her choices, destroyed her future, I get that.
02x20 - The Last Day Season 2 / Episode 20: - The Last Day

Damon Salvatore: I can't lose you.
02x18 - The Last Dance Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance

Damon Salvatore: You need to listen to me and prepare for what I'm about to say. Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise. She wasn't prepared for that. And he wasn't going to stop and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead. He had to believe it. She cast a spell, Bonnie's okay.
02x18 - The Last Dance Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance

Elena Gilbert: Let's get one thing straight Damon. Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen.
Damon Salvatore: We need to kill Klaus, Elena. Real Klaus. Who will probably come pay you a visit soon, now that he knows that Bonnie's dead. She's the only one who can do it.
02x18 - The Last Dance Season 2 / Episode 18: - The Last Dance

Damon Salvatore: Let me be clear about something. If it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose you.
02x12 - The Descent Season 2 / Episode 12: - The Descent

Damon Salvatore: I'm lost. I have a secret, a big one. But I've never said it out loud. What's the point? It's not gonna change anything. It's not gonna make me good, make me adopt a puppy. I can't be what other people want me to be. What she wants me to be. This is who I am. You are my existential crisis. Do I kill you or do I not kill you? But I have to Jessica, because I'm not human. And I miss it. I miss it more than anything in the world. That is my secret. But there is only so much hurt a man can take.
02x10 - The Sacrifice Season 2 / Episode 10: - The Sacrifice

Damon Salvatore: Come on, we're leaving.
Elena Gilbert: No.
Damon Salvatore: I said we're leaving.
Elena Gilbert: I'm not going with you.
Damon Salvatore: You do not get to make decisions anymore.
Elena Gilbert: When have I ever made a decision? You and Stefan do that for me now. This-this is my decision now.
Damon Salvatore: Who's going to save your life while you're out making "decisions"?
Elena Gilbert: Damon, you're not listening to me. I don't want to be saved. Not if it means that Klaus is going to kill every single person that I love.
Damon Salvatore: Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself. [pauses then grabs her arm]
Elena Gilbert: [Struggles] No. [Raises fist in attempt to fight him]
Damon Salvatore: [Stops punch mid-swing. Leans in as if to kiss her, but instead whispers... ] Don't ever do that again.
02x09 - Katerina Season 2 / Episode 9: - Katerina

Damon Salvatore: [to Rose] I was shaking. You've made your point.
