Quotes
Damon: “I need to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And because I love you, I can’t be selfish with you. Why you keep doing this—I don’t deserve you…but my brother does. God, I wish you didn’t have to forget this…but you do.”

Stefan: “I’m sorry.”
Damon: “About what?”
Stefan: “About being the guy that made you turn 145 years ago… what I did was selfish. I didn’t wanna be alone. Guess I just needed my brother.”

Stefan [on saving Elena]: “I can’t think of a better reason to die.”

Damon: “Elena know you’ve been drinking blood?”
Stefan: “I’ve been drinking hers.”
Damon: “How romantic.”

Jeremy: “When I’m worn down, I take a nap. You were unconscious.”

Stefan : “Thank you for helping me”
Damon: “Can we not do the whole road trip bonding thing? The cliche of it all makes me itch.”
Stefan : “Oh, come on, Damon. We both know that you being in this car has absolutely nothing to do with me, anyway.”
Damon: “The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar.”
Stefan : “Well, it doesn’t have to be an elephant. Let’s talk about it.”
Damon: “There’s nothing to talk about.”
Stefan : “That’s not true. Sure there is. Let’s get it out. I mean, are you in this car because you want to help your little brother save the woman he loves or is it because……because you love her too? I mean, come on. Express yourself. I happen to like road-trip bonding.”
Damon: “Keep it up, Stefan. I can step out of helping as easily as I stepped in.”
Stefan : “Nope. See, that’s the beauty of it. You can’t.”
