Quotes

Damon: First dad duty: gound your daugther, keep her here.

Damon: You need to stop doing that.
Elena: Doing what?
Damon: Assuming that I’ll play the good guy, because it’s you who’s asking.

Elena: You totally blew her off.
Damon: I’m staying clear of all women at the moment.
Elena: You don’t have to be rude.
Damon: Trust me, it’s in the best interest of women everywhere.

Damon: You better start talking or I will kill you in your sleep.

Elena: Be the better man.
Damon: Ok then.

Elena: We just need answers, please don’t do anything stupid.
Damon: Yeah, but stupid so much more fun.

Elena: Damon!
Damon: I’m not gonna hurt him, Elena. I’m the good guy now, remember?
Elena: What does that mean?
Damon: I’m gonna have a civil conversation with your father.

Elena: What are we gonna do?
Damon: Kill him.
Elena: Damon…
Damon: I’m joking. Ok, I’m a little serious.

Elena: He just blew in, announced to Jenna that he’s my dad and then took off.
Damon: That’s public knowledge now?
Elena: Apparently.

Damon: Great work, Stefan. Top notch. As if I didn’t have enough problems.

Stefan: I’m sorry about Rose.
Damon: Whatever, I knew the woman for…five minutes.
Stefan: Well, you cared about her after five minutes though. I wonder what that means?
Damon: It means I care, Stefan. It means I’m changing and evolving into a man capable of greatness.

Damon: Still waiting for the part where John Gilbert’s the answer.

Damon: You brought back John Gilbert? That was your big save Elena move?

Brady: Which one of you killed Mason?
Damon: Ah…that would be me.
Brady: Boys, make sure that one suffers.

Damon: Without a full moon it’s not an even fight and you know it. We will take you.
Jules: I’m not so sure about that tough guy.

Damon: Just stop talking. Just kiss me. Be my distraction.

Andie: Why do you kill people?
Damon: Because I like it. It’s in my nature too. It’s who I am. But then I have to stay together to protect her and she wants me to be the better man which means I can’t be who I am. Do you see the problem I’m having, Andie?

Andie: You don’t trust yourself around her?
Damon: I don’t trust myself around anyone, Andie. I’m bad, Andie. I do bad things. I kill people. Don’t be afraid. You’re ok.

Andie: So why can’t you have her? She’s with another man I assume.
Damon: Yeah, but that’s not the point. The point it, I’m in love with her. It’s driving me crazy. I’m out of control.

Damon: I’m in love with a woman I can never have.
Andie: I knew it. I know how to pick them.

Andie: You can booty call me anytime you want.

Andie: I can’t believe you called me. I thought I was being way to forward when I had Jenna give you my number.
Damon: I like a woman who knows what she wants.

Brady: I see you got the bullet out. That was… nasty.

Tyler: I’m sorry.
Caroline: No. It’s too late because we are not friends anymore and what happened to me tonight? That will never happen again. So you take that back to your little werewolf pack and you get the hell out of my house.

Jenna: So Elena is my sister’s husband’s brother’s daughter and her mother is my boyfriend’s deceased wife. You can’t make that stuff up.

Andy [to Damon]: Love does that Damon. It changes us.

Andie: What do you want, Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome?
Damon: I’m not that tall.

Elena [to Caroline]: We’re gonna slumber it.

Tyler: I didn’t know what to do.
Caroline: You help your friend. That’s what you do.

Damon: Since Stefan got here earlier, I’ll let him try it his way before I try it my way, which is a lot bloodier.

Elena: You may be my father, but I am never gonna be your daughter.

Caroline: Why are you doing this to me?
Brady: You’re a vampire. Why not?

Damon: He’s a werefolf. He needs to die. I’m willing to do it. It’s a win-win.

Damon: I’m steering clear of all women at the moment… trust me, it’s in the best interests of women everywhere.

John: You guys are drinking vervain.
Damon: It’s an acquired taste.

Elena: We just need answers. Try not to do anything stupid.
Damon: Yeah, but stupid’s so much more fun.

Jules: I want the boy more than I want vengeance.
Brady: Let’s get both.

Damon: I’m a good guy now, remember?

Jules: We live by a code of loyalty. We take care of each other. It’s my duty and honor to help you. Please let me.

Damon [to Stefan]: Better watch your back. Because I might need to get a hero hairdo of my own and steal your thunder.

Damon [on John]: We’re not that desperate, Stefan. The guy tried to barbecue me!

Jenna: What the Hell?
John: Good morning to you, Jenna. Alaric.

John: Coffee?
Elena: We did that last night. No more avoiding.
