- Damon Salvatore: My brother is sort of running his own show right now.
- Elena Gilbert: Yeah, well my brother just chopped off someone's head.
- [last lines]
- Elena Gilbert: [walks out on porch] I feel like a horrible person.
- Damon Salvatore: You just saved his life, Elena. Take it from me, estranged is bad, dead is worse.
- Elena Gilbert: I just can't stop thinking what happened the last time I asked you to compel him.
- Damon Salvatore: He found out. And he got over it. Again,
- [shrugs]
- Damon Salvatore: not dead, Elena. He's so lucky to have you for a sister.
- Elena Gilbert: Thank you.
- Damon Salvatore: No problem.
- Elena Gilbert: Not just for this, Damon. For everything.
- [shakes her head, scoffs]
- Elena Gilbert: I don't know what I would do if you weren't here.
- Damon Salvatore: [lowers his gaze] You should know this, Elena. Stefan didn't screw us over.
- [corrects himself:]
- Damon Salvatore: He screwed us over, but he had a good reason.
- Elena Gilbert: What?
- Damon Salvatore: He saved Klaus to save me.
- [she frowns]
- Damon Salvatore: And then he stole the coffins to get even.
- Elena Gilbert: D... Damon, if he... did it to protect you, then... why would he even do that? I mean...
- [sighs]
- Elena Gilbert: What does it even mean?
- Damon Salvatore: What does it mean? It means I'm an idiot. Because I thought for one second that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore.
- Elena Gilbert: Wait. What are you talking about? Guilty for what?
- Damon Salvatore: For wanting what I want.
- Elena Gilbert: [realizes] Damon...
- Damon Salvatore: Oh, I know. And believe me, I get it.
- [shakes his head]
- Damon Salvatore: Brother's girl and all.
- [grimaces, turns away, goes down steps, stops]
- Damon Salvatore: No. No! You know what? If I'm gonna feel guilty about something, I'm gonna feel guilty about this!
- [long passionate kiss]
- Damon Salvatore: Goodnight.
- [he goes off, she gasps]
- Klaus Mikaelson: My sister has gone missing.
- Damon Salvatore: Cute, blonde bombshell? Psycho? Shouldn't be too hard to find.
- Damon Salvatore: [upset Elena's busy at kitchen sink] How are you?
- Elena Gilbert: [sighs] I think I got most of the blood off the porch.
- Damon Salvatore: Elena. Look at me.
- [she sighs, turns around]
- Damon Salvatore: It's gonna be okay.
- Elena Gilbert: He said he wants his family back.
- Damon Salvatore: No. I know what you're thinking. The answer is no.
- Elena Gilbert: If we give him Rebekah...
- Damon Salvatore: Yeah, then Klaus un-daggers her. First thing she does is kill you. Frying pan, fire, not an option.
- Elena Gilbert: [remembers Bonnie's dream] Klaus' coffins. How many did you say there were?
