So Elena breaks up with you and your first instinct is to go on a killing spree. Could you be any more predictable?

The blood brings out what's inside of me. If you think any differently, you're an idiot.

Damon: I'm stronger than you think.
Stefan: You always have been. But you're not stronger than verveine. And you know it. I'm sorry. It didn't have to be this way.

You could always just leave, find another town to turn into your own Gas 'n Sip.

Elena: Matt and I together, it wasn't...
Stefan: Passionate.

Elena: How come you're so much better at controlling it?
Stefan: Because I'm so much worse when I don't.

Silas needs to die. And I need to be the one to kill him. End of story.

Stefan: The blood? It doesn't change anything.
Elena: It's changing you.

Everything you know, and every belief you know is about to change. Are you ready for that?

[to Elena] If you're going to dump me, I figure you should at least know who you're dumping. Let's start with Katherine. She had this perfect olive skin. She had this perfect laugh. She was also impatient, impulsive. Enter Damon. He claims he was with her first. I don't know. I do know I did some things I'm not proud of. My biggest regret is not being able to make things right before she died. I miss her, but I'm not crippled.

Stefan: I had a chance to kill her and I hesitated.
Damon: Well, that is the fork in the road between you and me, my friend. I don't hesitate.

[to Elena] It was real. We fell in love on our own.

Damon

Damon: My new girlfriend. Andie Starr. Action News.
Alaric: It's not called Action News.
Damon: I know. I like just saying it.
