Elena Gilbert Quotes

04x10 - After School Special Season 4 / Episode 10: - After School Special

Rebekah: [about to interrogate Elena, Stefan, and Caroline] Class is in session. You've all been compelled, you know the rules. Answer my questions honestly. No disobedience, no one leaves. April, my sweet, take notes. This is how you get answers in this town. Let's start with a little quiz. In the year 1114, my brother learned, thanks to yours truly, about about a brotherhood of vampire hunters with tattoos that grew with each kill. These tattoos revealed what, Elena?
Elena Gilbert: A map.
Rebekah: Which lead to, Caroline?
Caroline Forbes: A cure for vampirism.
Rebekah: Perfect. So, we're all caught up. Stefan Salvatore, the last time we saw each other, you had a vampire hunter, but in order to decode the map, you needed the location of the hunter's sword, which you got out of me using some very dirty tricks. Assuming you'd found the sword, you'd also have the cure, and yet you're all still vampires. Which means something went wrong. [to April] What are you doing?
April Young: Oh, you asked me to take notes.
Rebekah: I wasn't being literal, darling. But now that you mention it, a flow chart would be nice. Which means index cards and pushpins. Go and fetch.

Elena Gilbert: April, what's wrong?
April Young: Nothing. I'm fine.
Elena Gilbert: But you're crying.
April Young: It's just the whole mayor thing. You know? It's bringing up stuff with my dad. [pause] And I know you're a vampire.
Elena Gilbert: Wait. What?


April Young: Was that necessary?
Rebekah: No, but it was fun.
04x10 - After School Special Season 4 / Episode 10: - After School Special

April Young: How many times did you compel me? Don't, just don't lie. Rebekah says you lie.
Elena Gilbert: Rebekah's not who you think she is, April.
April Young: What, she's not a 1,000-year-old Original vampire?
Elena Gilbert: Listen. We can figure this out, but we have to get out of here.


Rebekah: Sorry. Not allowed.
04x10 - After School Special Season 4 / Episode 10: - After School Special

Rebekah: Do you still love Stefan?
Elena Gilbert: Yes.
Rebekah: Are you still in love with Stefan?
Elena Gilbert: No.
Rebekah: [to Stefan] Did that hurt? Having someone you love drive a dagger through your heart.
Stefan Salvatore: Go to hell.
Rebekah: Did... that... hurt?
Stefan Salvatore: Yes.
Rebekah: Welcome to the last 900 years of my life.
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?

Bonnie Bennett: You're disgusting.
Damon Salvatore: [whispers] I know.

Damon Salvatore: [to Alaric] You're screwed.
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: 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.

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]
