![]() | Season 1 / Episode 6: - Lost Girls Elena Gilbert: I gave you today just like you asked. And I understand that you would never to do anything to hurt me, and I promise I will keep your secret, but... I can't be with you, Stefan. I'm sorry I... I just can't. |

![]() | Season 1 / Episode 5: - You're Undead To Me Elena Gilbert: Dear Diary, I'm not a believer. People are born, they grow old and then they die. That's the world we live in. There's no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There is nothing that defies rational thought. People are supposed to be who they say they are and not lie or hide their true selves. It's not possible. I'm not believer. I can't be. But how can I deny what's right in front of me? Someone who never grows old. Never gets hurt. Someone who changes in ways that can't be explained. Girls bitten. Bodies drained of blood. |

![]() | Season 1 / Episode 5: - You're Undead To Me Stefan Salvatore: During the Dark Ages, when a vampire's actions threatened to expose or bring harm upon the entire race, he would face judgement. They sought to reeducate them rather than to punish them. Damon Salvatore: You know what will happen if I don't feed on blood. Stefan Salvatore: You'll grow weaker and weaker, and eventually you won't be able to move or speak. In a week, your skin will desiccate, and you'll mummify. A living corpse, unable to hurt anyone... ever. Damon Salvatore: So what, you just going to just leave me in the basement... forever? Stefan Salvatore: I've injected you with enough vervain to keep you weak. Once your circulation stops, I'll move you to the family crypt, and in a 150 years we can reevaluate. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 5: - You're Undead To Me Damon Salvatore: [Stefan has locked Damon up] You won. Now nothing can come between you and Elena. Except the truth. The lies catch up to you, the longer you keep lying to yourself about who you are. Stefan Salvatore: The beauty of you in there and me out here... is that I can walk away. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 5: - You're Undead To Me Zach Salvatore: You don't visit, Damon... You appear. Periodically. Reminding me that this isn't my house, that you're only allowing me to live here... allowing me to live. Damon Salvatore: Someone had to mow the lawn. |

![]() | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Family Ties Damon Salvatore: What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so wipped. Caroline Forbes: You have to read the first book first, otherwise it won't make sense. Damon Salvatore: Uh, I miss Ann Rice, she was so on it. Caroline Forbes: Hey, how come you don't sparkle? Damon Salvatore: Because I live in the real world where vampires burn in the sun. Caroline Forbes: Yeah, but you go in the sun. Damon Salvatore: I have a ring, it protects me. It's complicated. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Family Ties Damon Salvatore: [after Stefan stabbed him through the t-shirt] This is John Varvatos, dude. Dick move. |

![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Stefan Salvatore: [last lines; voiceover] I felt there was hope that somewhere deep inside... something in Damon was still human, normal. But I was wrong, there's nothing human left in Damon. No good, no kindness, no love. Only a monster... who must be stopped. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Matt Donovan: What am I supposed to do, Ty? She made her choice. Tyler Lockwood: Let her know she made the wrong one. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Elena Gilbert: That throw was insane! I didn't know you play football. Stefan Salvatore: I used to, it was a long time ago. Elena Gilbert: So why don't you try out for the team? Stefan Salvatore: Yeah, I don't think so. Elena Gilbert: So you don't like football? Stefan Salvatore: No, I love football, I think it's a great sport but in this case, I don't think football likes me. You saw Tyler over there and we both know how Matt feels. Elena Gilbert: They don't know you. To them your just mysterious loner guy. Wouldn't hurt to be a part of the team, make some friends. Stefan Salvatore: Says the girl who spends her alone time writing in a cemetery. Elena Gilbert: Hey, come on, there's more to me than just gloomy graveyard girl. There's a whole another Elena you have yet to meet. She was into everything, very busy. Stefan Salvatore: Well, I look forward to meeting her, and when will that be? Elena Gilbert: Soon. She's working on it. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Elena Gilbert: FYI, our team sucks. They could use you. Stefan Salvatore: Can't, am I loner. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Bonnie Bennett: Seriously, where is Caroline? Elena Gilbert: I don't know, it's not like her. Bonnie Bennett: I'll try her again. Bonnie Bennett: That must be the mystery guy from the Grill. Elena Gilbert: That's not a mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore. Bonnie Bennett: Salvatore? As in Stefan? Caroline Forbes: I got the other brother, hope you don't mind. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Damon Salvatore: How were tryouts? You make the team? Very Emerson, the way you reveal your soul with so many... adjectives. Stefan Salvatore: What are you doing here? Damon Salvatore: I've come to apologize. I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching and I want us to start over. We need to put the past behind us. You're my little brother, and if you wanna live a normal happy human life, then I want that for you. Maybe I can do it too, that I can learn to be a non-living, living person. Maybe there's hope for both of us. Stefan Salvatore: You know it doesn't have to be this way Damon Damon Salvatore: Course it doesn't. I saw Elena today, BTW - that means by the way. She was at cheerleading practice, she looked so perky in her little short shorts. Simmer down, I didn't go near her. I've got my own cheerleader now. Oh, that reminds me I've gotta run, got a date. Sweaty palms, wish me luck. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Bonnie Bennett: Today I'm obsessed with numbers. I keep seeing 8,14 and 22. How weird is that? Elena Gilbert: Maybe we should play the lottery. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Damon Salvatore: I like you, you know how to laugh and you make Stefan smile which is something I haven't seen in a very long time. Elena Gilbert: Earlier... did you mean Katherine? How did she die? Damon Salvatore: Fire, tragic fire. Elena Gilbert: Recently? Damon Salvatore: Seems like it was yesterday. Elena Gilbert: What was she like? Damon Salvatore: She was beautiful, a lot like you in that department. She was also very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind but very sexy and seductive. Elena Gilbert: So, which one of you dated her first? Damon Salvatore: Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan, I'm sure his answer differs from mine. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Elena Gilbert: Look at you! You look hot in your jersey. Stefan Salvatore: What happened? No more cheerleader? Elena Gilbert: I quit, I'm a quitter. Stefan Salvatore: No, hey, you're not a quitter. You suffered a great loss, you're not the same person. You should be looking ahead, you should be starting over, OK? I hope you don't think this is too soon or to weird or whatever, but I wanted you to have this. Elena Gilbert: Oh my god, it's beautiful. Stefan Salvatore: It's something that I've had forever and I've never wanted to give it to anyone, until now. I'd very much like it if you'd wear it for me, for good luck. Elena Gilbert: Is that rose I smell? Stefan Salvatore: No, it's an herb. It's nice, huh? Elena Gilbert: I love it. Stefan Salvatore: And I wanted to thank you for pushing me to try out for the team. It feels really good. Elena Gilbert: We're a pair. I quit, you start. Stefan Salvatore: We're a work in progress. We'll figure it out. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Elena Gilbert: Can I ask you a question and you give me a serious no joke response? Bonnie Bennett: Course. What is it? Elena Gilbert: The bad mojo when you touched Stefan and you got that reaction... Bonnie Bennett: Know what, forget I said that. Your little dinner party plot won me over. Elena Gilbert: No, Bonnie, seriously, what was it? Did you see something? Bonnie Bennett: It wasn't clear like a picture, like today I keep seeing those same numbers I told you about 8, 14, 22. When I touched Stefan, it was a feeling and it vibrated through me and it was cold and it... Elena Gilbert: And what? Bonnie Bennett: It was death. It's what I imagine death to be like. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Matt Donovan: You going to be able to play? Stefan Salvatore: Oh, yeah, I'm good. Matt Donovan: What you did back there, you had Jeremy's back. Stefan Salvatore: He's a messed up kid, somebody's gotta look out for him. Matt Donovan: I know. This week at practice I was a dick. Stefan Salvatore: You had your reasons. Matt Donovan: No excuse. Good luck, we're lucky to have you. Damon Salvatore: Isn't that nice. Stefan joins a team and makes a friend. It's all so Rah-Rah, go team! Stefan Salvatore: Not tonight, I'm done with you. |
![]() | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Friday Night Bites Damon Salvatore: Nice trick with Elena. Let me guess, vervain in the necklace. I admit I was a bit surprised, it's been a while for anyone to resist my compulsion. Where'd you get it? Stefan Salvatore: Does it matter? Damon Salvatore: Guess I could seduce her the old fashion way or I could just... eat her. Stefan Salvatore: No, you're not going to hurt her, Damon. Damon Salvatore: No? Stefan Salvatore: Because deep down inside there is a part of you that feels for her. I was worried that you had no humanity left inside you, that you had actually become that monster you pretend to be. Damon Salvatore: Who's pretending? Stefan Salvatore: Then kill me. Damon Salvatore: Well, I'm tempted. Stefan Salvatore: No, your not. You've had life times to do it and yet here I am, I'm still alive and there you are. You're still haunting me after 145 years. Katherine is dead and you hate me because you loved her, and you torture me because you still so. And that, my brother, is your humanity. |
