What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “Into the Wild” 

Episode: “Into the Wild”
Writer: Caroline Dries

Damon: “Couldn’t they have hidden this cure in Hawaii?”

Damon: “Oh yeah? I thought the whole point was that no one found Silas, the oldest, deadliest freak in the world.” Professor Shane: “Yeah, that too.”

Professor Shane: “Sunscreen?” Damon: “Is that a joke?”

Elena: “You know I can hear you, right?” Rebekah: “You know I don’t care, right?”

Rebekah: “Go ahead. Try and kill me. But then you’d have to face your real problems — like the fact that Stefan invited me here himself. I guess he likes me again.”

Damon: “Looks like someone forgot her team-building exercises.”

Elena: “You know, you’ve never talked about what you’ll do with the cure once we find it. Will you take it?” Damon: “I don’t like to speculate.”

Tyler: “Morning, sunshine. You look pathetic.” Klaus: “Only until Bonnie’s spell locking me in here wears off. Then I’ll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won’t look like anything because I’ll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets.”

Rebekah: “I’m merely stating the facts. Jeremy has the spell on his body. Bonnie’s the witch that unseals the cure. Shane is the human compass. You and I have the tombstone which does God knows what. And Elena has no point.” Damon: “What about me?” Rebekah: “You have a nice behind.” (Damon gives a look of acceptance)

Damon: “Yeah, I got it. Don’t eat the poisonous flowers.”

Professor: “How stupid do you think I am?” Damon: “Stupid enough to raise an immortal witch, so I say…incredibly.”

Damon: “I get it. Everything changes tomorrow. It’ll be all unicorns and rainbows.” Elena: “No, not everything. That’s what I’m saying. Damon, not my feelings for you.”

Caroline: “You’re still here? What are you doing?” Tyler: “Gloating.”

Caroline (to Klaus): “You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you.”

Klaus: “Now that was definitely worth the calories.”

Rebekah: “OK, you got me. I’m a scaredy cat.” Stefan: “You do realize you’re an Original vampire.”

Stefan: “If I take the cure, it wouldn’t be for her. It’d be for me.”

Tyler: “Please.” Klaus: “Please…” Tyler: “Please save her life.” Klaus: “See, now I think you’re just telling me what I want to hear. I mean, you did call me pathetic earlier. And wouldn’t it be more pathetic of me to help now knowing that hours ago, you announced your plan to kill me in a manner of which you’re still debating because you want it to have a certain amount of flair? I’m just asking.”

Tyler: “I’ll be your slave again. I’ll do whatever you want. Just help her.” Klaus: “No.” Caroline: “Get me out of here. I can’t even look at him.”

Damon: “Bonnie Bennett’s related to this crazy-ass witch?”

Elena: “I’m sorry. And how are you helping?” Rebekah: “I’m stronger than you. I’m faster than you. And I’m quite certain I can charm the islanders a lot easier than you.” Elena: “Not disagreeing on the easy part.” Stefan: “All right. We get it. You two hate each other. Can we just keep going, please?”

Rebekah: “I don’t care what happens to you either way, but if you’re gonna die, it might as well be epic.”

Damon: I don’t wonder, Elena, because I don’t care. I don’t care about her [Bonnie]. I don’t care about some lame-ass cure for vampires, either.” Elena: “How can you say that right now?” Damon: “Because I don’t want you to be cured.” Elena: “I’m not fighting with you about this anymore. Being human isn’t going to change my feelings for you.”

Damon: “Fine. Say they’re real. Say you’ve become human and you still love me. Then what? You grow old. You die. I stay a vampire. Face reality, Elena. We don’t work.” Elena: “So things aren’t easy and you’re just gonna push me away, now? That’s what you do, Damon. You think that you don’t…you don’t deserve something. So you ruin it. I’m not gonna let you pull that this time. Take the cure with me. That’s how much I know this is real. That’s how certain I am that I’m going to love you even after this is all over.”

Elena: Take the cure. Be human with me. We can be together. And grow old together. It doesn’t have to be hard anymore.” Damon: “That’s not me, Elena. That’s Stefan. I used to miss being human. Now I can’t think of anything more miserable on Earth.”

Caroline: “How could you do this to him? To his mom? To me?” Klaus: “I’m a thousand years old. Call it boredom.”

Caroline: “I’ve caught myself wishing that I could forget all the horrible things that you’ve done.” Klaus: “But you can’t, can you?” Caroline: “I know that you’re in love with me. And anybody capable of love is capable of being saved.” Klaus: “You’re hallucinating.” Caroline: “I guess we’ll never know.”

Stefan: “Every single moment of the last 146 years has been ruled by the pain of being a vampire. And this cure ends that. It ends the guilt. And it ends the suffering. And you really think that I would jeopardize that?’

Rebekah: “We’re all screwed.” Elena: “Exactly, Rebekah. We’re screwed. Bonnie’s gone. Shane’s got the tombstone. Jeremy’s missing. Who knows if Damon’s coming back. So, us three, right here, this is all we’ve got. So, we’re either in this together or it’s over…for all of us.”

Damon: “You’re one of the five.”
