The World Has Turned and Left Me Here (2014)

Matthew Davis: Alaric Saltzman

Quotes 

• Elena Gilbert : [after he regaled his class with the tale of the disfigured soldier who came back to find his wife cheating on him with his brother]  You know, that cautionary tale would've had much more of an impact on me two weeks ago.

  Alaric Saltzman : Damon may be gone, but I can still find pleasure in judging his life choices. Speaking of which... have you changed your mind about me compelling you to forget about him yet?

  Elena Gilbert : Why do you say 'yet like I'm gonna wake up one day and realize that my life is over if I don't have the traumatic memories of loving a serial killer?

  Alaric Saltzman : Had to ask.

  Elena Gilbert : You know, maybe you're right. Maybe... I am making a huge mistake... or maybe I got a very valuable piece of advice... from myself about how to be happy, and I intend on taking it. Will I see you at the party tonight?

  Alaric Saltzman : You know, I'm waiting on the mixer for thirty-something vampires just back from the dead.

  [whispers:] 

  Alaric Saltzman : Less of a crowd.

  Elena Gilbert : [chuckles]  Come on, Ric. You are like one hoodie and three missed haircuts away from becoming Professor Shane.

  Alaric Saltzman : I am perfectly content staying at home letting my hair grow out.

  Elena Gilbert : You're hiding. You're becoming a self-loathing vampire hermit. Tell you what, you've been given the chance to start over. Take it. Be happy.

  Alaric Saltzman : I am happy-ish.

  Elena Gilbert : Exactly. I'll see you at eight. But not in that T-shirt. You've worn it twice this week.
