Nina Dobrev: Elena Gilbert

Quotes 

• Elena Gilbert : [desperate plan to rid herself of the memory of Damon]  Talk me through it again.

  Alaric Saltzman : I raided the Psychology Department research library. In a nutshell, we'll be using a combination of hypnotherapy and memory-reprocessing techniques. The more we talk, the more you'll relax and open your mind to me. We're gonna be searching for memories that are deeply embedded. And each significant memory that we hit that is connected to Damon, I will help you modify. And this should eventually lead us to the signature memory which, once erased, will create a positive domino effect through all your other memories.

  Elena Gilbert : Can't you just compel me to forget everything at once... and we can go get a beer?

  Alaric Saltzman : [chuckles]  I'm supernaturally rewiring three years of your memories. If it were that easy, I wouldn't be so terrified.

  [his hand on her knee] 

  Alaric Saltzman : I have some questions. Answer them honestly.

  Elena Gilbert : I will answer them honestly.

  Alaric Saltzman : Do you have doubts about this?

  Elena Gilbert : Yes. But I know I have to do this.

  Alaric Saltzman : Are you afraid?

  Elena Gilbert : More sad than afraid.

  Alaric Saltzman : Why sad?

  Elena Gilbert : Because I don't wanna stop loving him.

  Alaric Saltzman : Do you trust me to be... digging around in your mind?

  Elena Gilbert : I trust you completely.

  Alaric Saltzman : Okay. Well, then, let's... Let's get started. Who was Damon Salvatore?

• Elena Gilbert : [cell-phone conversation from campus]  You're the last person I think who would object to me erasing positive memories of Damon from my head.

  Caroline Forbes : [driving her car]  Yeah, but we're literally chasing a lead. And what if we find something out? You know, what if Damon returns home... and everything returns back to normal and then you're just sitting there all confused and... weird?

  Elena Gilbert : Then Alaric will bring back my memories.

  Caroline Forbes : But...

  Elena Gilbert : But what? Go ahead, Caroline, say what you need to say. I don't wanna pressure you into agreeing.

  Caroline Forbes : I...

  [shakes her head] 

  Caroline Forbes : don't know what to think. I was actually just trying to think what Bonnie would say.

  Elena Gilbert : [sighs]  And...?

  Caroline Forbes : And she'd say that you should do what's best for you.

  Elena Gilbert : Look, I think It's great that you still have hope, I really do... but for my own survival, I need to let him go.

  Caroline Forbes : [nods]  Well, then go on with your "What Would Bonnie Bennett Do?" plan.

  [chuckles] 

  Caroline Forbes : I'll make bumper stickers.

  [chuckles again] 

  Elena Gilbert : [smiles]  I love you.

  Caroline Forbes : I love you too.

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : [revealed that Lorenzo is Caroline's paasenger]  Girl-bonding. Very sweet.

  [tries to make conversation:] 

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : I, uh, heard you dropped out of school.

  Caroline Forbes : And I heard you were a lurker that was spying on my life. When do we exit?

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : Soon. Um, you should reconsider. I mean, looks can only get a girl so far these days.

  Caroline Forbes : Well, I'm not taking feminist tips from a guy that just used his tongue to get secrets out of a coat-check girl.

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : Garment attendant.

  Caroline Forbes : You just made that up. So, did you also make up the Gemini Coven lead too? I've never heard of them. Who are they?

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : No idea. That's not where we're headed.

  Caroline Forbes : What? Well, wait! Where are we going?

  Lorenzo 'Enzo' St. John : You'll see.

  [Caroline shakes her head, sighs, drives on]
