Quotes 

• Elena Gilbert : [Elena and Victoria go through some of Isabel's things. Elena can see Damon listening in so she hands Vanessa some Vervain]  Here. Take this.

  Vanessa Monroe : Does vervain really work?

  Damon Salvatore : [From across the room]  No. Not at all.

  Vanessa Monroe : [Leans towards Elena]  Can he hear us?

  Damon Salvatore : [Whispering]  No, that would be creepy.

  Vanessa Monroe : Can he read minds too?

  Damon Salvatore : Well, if you want to see me naked, all you have to do is ask.

• Damon Salvatore : Elena, I saw the ring. Big tacky thing. It's hard to miss.

  [at that moment, Rick lifts his own ring up into shot] 

• Damon Salvatore : You and Katherine have a lot more in common than just your looks.

• Stefan Salvatore : [First line]  Thanks for coming Rick.

  Damon Salvatore : Can I get you something to drink, coffee, bourbon, bourbon and coffee?

• Damon Salvatore : Sorry you can't come too, Stef!

  [Looks over at Elena] 

  Stefan Salvatore : [Ignores Damon and talks to Elena]  Call me if you need anything.

  Damon Salvatore : Oh, I'll take *really* good care of her.

  [Stefan and Elena start to kiss, making Damon uncomfortable] 

  Damon Salvatore : Okay... time to go.

• Vanessa Monroe : There's no record of werewolf mythology in Mystic Falls, but here are some records of some of the lesser known legends. Everything from a Scandinavian Skin Walkers to the Marsh L'durets. 'Tu De Citli Mesli' which roughly translates into 'The Curse of the Sun and the Moon'

  Alaric Saltzman : It's Native American?

  Vanessa Monroe : Aztec. It explains one origin of the werwolf curse traced through Virginia. The short story, 600 years ago, the Aztecs were plagued by werewolves and vampires. They terrorized the countryside, made farming and hunting impossible, until an Aztec Sharman cursed them. Making vampires slaves to the sun and werewolves servants of the moon. As a result, vampires could only prowl at night and werewolves could only turn on a full moon. When the full moon crest is in the sky, whosever unlucky enough to fall under the werwolf curse turns into a wolf.

  Damon Salvatore : Can they control the transformation?

  Vanessa Monroe : If it were a choice, it wouldn't be called "a curse". Werewolves will attack humans, but instinct in centuries of rivalry have hard-wired them to hunt their prey of choice. Vampires.

  [Everyone looks at her] 

  Damon Salvatore : Well, if werewolves are hunting vampires, I would know about it.

  Vanessa Monroe : Not if there aren't that many werewolves left alive. Hundreds of years ago vampires hunted them to almost to extinction.

  Elena Gilbert : Why would they do that?

  Vanessa Monroe : To protect themselves. Legend has it that a werewolf bite is fatal to vampires.

  Damon Salvatore : Oh...

• Damon Salvatore : [to Elena]  How you doing back there? You know this whole 'pretending to hate me' thing is getting a little silly.

  Alaric Saltzman : I don't think she's pretending.

• Damon Salvatore : [Damon, Elena and Alaric are looking at Isabel's belongings at Duke University. Damon realises Vanessa has gone]  Where'd she go?

  [She appears with a cross and arrow and fires it at Elena, but Damon takes the arrow and saves her] 

• Damon Salvatore : Pull it out. I can't reach it, Elena. Just pull the damn thing out. It hurts.

  [exhales as Elena pulls out the arrow] 

  Damon Salvatore : That bitch is dead!

  Elena Gilbert : Ah! You're not gonna kill her.

  Damon Salvatore : Watch me.

  [smirks] 

• Elena Gilbert : [to Vanessa]  I'm Elena Gilbert, Isabel's daughter and a descendant of Katherine Pierce. And this is Damon who you just shot.

  Damon Salvatore : [to Vanessa]  I'd be extra nice to me right now.

• Elena Gilbert : [about her likeness to Katherine]  I just... I wanna know why we look alike.

  Damon Salvatore : Head scratcher isn't it?

  Elena Gilbert : Do you know something or are you just being yourself?

• Elena Gilbert : Right... I forgot that I was speaking to a psychotic mind who snaps and kills people impulsively. Fine. Go ahead. Do whatever you want.

  Damon Salvatore : You're trying to manipulate me.

  Elena Gilbert : If by 'manipulate', you mean, tell the truth, okay... guilty.

• Damon Salvatore : Any luck?

  Elena Gilbert : There's nothing in here about Katherine that we don't already know.

  Damon Salvatore : Aww man! You know it's a bummer that we aren't friends anymore because I can tell you what I know.

  Elena Gilbert : Now who's' manipulating who?

• Damon Salvatore : [to Elena about her hatred towards him]  You know I chipped a little bit off your wall of hatred.

• Alaric Saltzman : Why would I know anything about the Lockwoods?

  Damon Salvatore : Well, you wouldn't, but your dead/not dead vampire wife might!

• Alaric Saltzman : [about Isobel's research]  At the time I thought most of which was... fiction.

  Damon Salvatore : [about vampires existing]  Like that amazing vampire story!

• Elena Gilbert : Do you know something, or are you just being yourself?

  Damon Salvatore : Well, if I know anything, I'm not gonna tell you. Not with that attitude.

  Elena Gilbert : That's good. And this is coming from someone who wants to be my 'friend'. But you know what? Friends don't manipulate friends. They help each other.

• Damon Salvatore : You hated me before, and we became friends. It would suck if that was gone forever.
