It was her or me, I chose her.

Katherine

Stefan: Look, I know this isn’t the first time you have thought about it, drinking vampire blood to survive and I know I have thought about it a 100 times. Elena: and before all this with Klaus? Do you think about it then? Stefan: Of course I did. Look, if it were my choice I would want to be with you forever. Elena: Why have you never brought it up? Stefan: Because I knew if it was an option you would have. It’s selfish for me to ask you. Elena: Didn’t stop Damon. Stefan: He shouldn’t of done what he did, he did it because he loves you. Elena: But he did this to me, Stefan. Which means he doesn’t really know what love is and to be honest I don’t know if I do. I’m seventeen years old. How do I know any of this yet. I know that I love you Stefan, I know that but my future, our lives together, those were things I was supposed to do as they came along, I was supposed to grow up, decide if I wanna have kids and start a family, grow old and I was supposed to have a lifetime of it. Now, that’s all gone. Stefan: It’s ok to say it, please. Elena: I don’t want to be a vampire, Stefan. I never wanted to be one.

Elena: we are climbing all the way to the top? Stefan: Oh yeah. Elena: well can’t you do one of super power vampire jumpy things. Stefan: No, it’s your last day as a human, why cheat now?

Stefan: so you don’t remember anything that happened? Alaric: No, it’s like I blacked out and woke up 3 days later.

he wanted me to deliver a message, the sacrifice happens tonight.

Alaric

Come back as a vampire and I will stake you myself cause I can’t stand the idea of you hating me forever.

Damon

You were dead.

Klaus

Klaus: it’s time. Thank you Elena. Elena: Go to hell.

Great, I was just thinking about getting a bite to eat.

Damon

Elena: Witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature. It's your duty to them. To keep this curse sealed.
Greta: My duty is to Klaus. A new order.
Klaus: Glad to know I still have a dance partner.

Damon: And you're going to die, Elena.
Elena: And then I'll come back to life.
Damon: That is not a risk I am willing to take.
Elena: But I am. It's my life, Damon. My choice.
Damon: I can't lose you.
Elena: You won't.

Stefan: Elena made her decision. She's choosing to trust Elijah. I'm going to put my faith in her.
Damon: Why? She's going to end up dead.
Stefan: Because she put her faith in me. She chose to trust me in spite of what I am. I'm going to bet on somebody's instincts, it's going to be hers.
Damon: Well, then, that makes you the biggest idiot of them all.
Stefan: She chose to trust you, too.
Damon: Then maybe you shouldn't be so sure about her instincts.
