Quotes

Damon: "You brought back John Gilbert, that was your big save-Elena-move?"
Stefan: "I went to go look for Isobel and I got John instead. He said he could help us and we're desperate..."
Damon: "We're not that desperate Stefan, that guy tried to barbecue me!"
Elena: "What are we gonna do?"
Damon: "Kill him."
Elena: "Damon..."
Damon: "I'm joking. Okay, I'm a little serious."
Damon: "You need to stop doing that."
Elena: "Doing what?"
Damon: "Assuming that I'll play the good guy, because it's you who's asking."
Andie: "Why do you kill people?"
Damon: "Because I like it. It's in my nature too. It's who I am. But then I have to stay together to protect her and she wants me to be the better man which means I can't be who I am. Do you see the problem I'm having, Andie?"
Tyler: "I didn't know what to do."
Caroline: "You help your friend. That's what you do."
Jenna: "So Elena is my sister's husband's brother's daughter and her mother is my boyfriend's deceased wife. You can't make that stuff up."
Elena: "You may be my father, but I am never gonna be your daughter."
John (To Elena): "Miranda and Grayson were your parents, Elena. And I know I’m nothing to you. You have no reason to believe me or trust me. I’ve done so many horrible things, but when you lost your parents, I lost my brother, my family, I lost my way. And I’m probably never going to make things right for you—I know that—but I’m going to do everything I can to protect you, and protect this family."
Jules: "I want you to understand that a vampire will never be your friend. It’s our nature to be enemies."
Tyler: "You know how stupid that sounds?"
