Quotes

Damon: (to Stefan) We both know the closest you’ll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it.

Stefan: I met a girl, we talked, it was epic. Then the sun came up, and reality set in, all this is reality.

Damon: It’s good to be home. I think I might stay a while. This town could use a bit of a wake-up call, don’t you think?
Stefan: What are you up to, Damon?
Damon: That’s for me to know and for you to… dot dot dot.

Damon: Great gal. She’s got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped.

Stefan: You wanna expose me?
Damon: No. I want you to remember who you are!
