What They Said: Favorite Lines from The Vampire Diaries “As I Lay Dying” 

Episode: “As I Lay Dying”

• “Elena, feeding you my blood, I was wrong.” “Yes, you were.” “And I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness but…I need it.”

• “And I need some time. Maybe a lot of time.” “True. Of course. Take all the time you need.”

• “You’re not dying today.” “What’s the plan, Superman?”

• “Just tell me goodbye. Get it over with it.”

• “You gave me your word, Niklaus.” (I love the way Elijah says NiKLAUS)

• “I’m sorry, you’ve reached somebody who’s currently not operating.”

• “Whatever Damon’s done. Whatever’s led him here, I’m the one that made him become a vampire in the first place. So if there’s a chance for a cure, I owe it to him to find it.”

• “Is it so wrong for me to want you both?”

• “Now, what am I going to do with you?”

• “The way you are now, you are just shy of useless.”

• “My subconscious is haunting me, Ric. Please tell me you have something for that.” “A double shot.”

• “So my brother sent you for suicide watch?”

• “OK, give me a glass. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation.”

• “I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on-and-off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917 he went into Monterey and wiped out an entire migrant village. True Ripper. Sound familiar?” “I haven’t been that way in a very long time.” “Well, that’s the vampire I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town.”

• “You want to save your brother, how about a decade-long bender?”

• “You do everything I say and I save your brother, that’s the deal.”

• “Alaric um…thank you for everything.” “You can thank me tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that.” “Aw dude, I knew you were listening.” “And the day after that.”

• “It’s not OK. All those years I blamed Stefan. No one forced me to love her. It was my own choice.” “Shhhh…” “I made the wrong choice. Tell Stefan, I’m sorry, OK?” “I will.”

• “You’re very cooperative. It’s almost as if you’re enjoying it.”

• “You can either remain here living your life in Mystic Falls or you can embrace what you truly are — leave town with me and save your brother’s life.”

• “This is even more pitiful than i thought.”

• “I have made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die.” “No, you don’t.” “I do, Elena. It’s OK. Because if I had chosen differently I wouldn’t have met you. I’m so sorry. I’ve done so many things to hurt you.” “It’s OK, I forgive you.” “I know you love Stefan. I know it will always be Stefan. But I love you. You should know that.” “I do.” “You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me.” “I like you now. Just the way you are.” She kisses Damon. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome.”

• “I thought you were dead.” “I was.”

• “Where’s Stefan?” “Are you sure you care?”

• “He just sacrificed everything to save his brother, including you. Its’ a good thing you have Damon to keep you company. Goodbye, Elena”

• “Oh. It’s OK to love ’em both. I did.”

• “Anna? Vicky?”
