Quotes
Elena: What happened?
Damon: Katherine happened.
Elena: Katherine was in this house, that means that she’s been invited in. What are we going to do?
Damon: Move.
Stefan: What happened tonight when you thought she was Elena?
Damon: To risk another frown line encroaching on a very crowded forehead..We..kissed.
Elena: And you thought it was me?
Stefan: What do you mean you kissed..?
Damon: Well..you know when two lips pucker and they go– (makes kissing noise)
Katherine: We haven’t officially met. I’m Katherine.
Bonnie: I know who you are.
Katherine: Of course you do. Your the best friend right? I’ve been putting all the pieces of Elena’s life together. Isobel told me it was a bit of a puzzle. I do know who Jenna and Jeremy are and I’ve met that delicious ex-boyfriend Matt, whose sweet on Caroline and then there’s you. The vampire hating Bennett witch. Did I do good?
Stefan: You haven’t changed at all, have you?
Katherine: But you have. You’re stronger, meaner, sexy.
Stefan: Don’t flirt with me Katherine. I’m not Damon, I haven’t spent 145 years obsessed with you.
Katherine: You wanna know why I’m here, Stefan? I came back for you.
Stefan: Well, the problem, Katherine, is that I hate you.
Katherine stabs Stefan with a pole
Katherine: You hate me huh? That sounds like the beginning of a love story Stefan, not the end of one.
Damon: I kissed Elena.
Stefan: Because you feel something for her, because you actually care. And I’m not gonna let Katherine come in here and destroy that part of you that is finally after all of this time willing to feel something. She will try to break you. She will try to break us. And how we respond to that will define us. It’s our choice.
Damon: I just need the truth just once.
Katherine: Stop. I already know your question and it’s answered. The truth is… I’ve never loved you. It was always Stefan.
Damon: FUCK YOU BITCH.
Stefan: He saw the ring, that’s why he did it. He knew.
Elena: He didn’t see the ring.
Stefan: It’s Katherine. She got under his skin. She undid everything that was good about him.
Elena: There’s nothing good about him, Stefan..not anymore. He’s decided what he wants. He just wants to feel. He wants to be hated. It’s just easier that way. He got his wish… I hate him Stefan.
