Quotes

Damon: You know what will happen if I don’t feed on blood.
Stefan: You’ll grow weaker and weaker. Eventually you won’t be able to move or speak. In a week your skin will desiccate, and you’ll mummify. A living corpse. Unable to hurt anyone. Ever. — Damon & Stefan, S01E05

Vicki: I think you might be in trouble.
Jeremy: What did you do?
Vicki: Oh, she saw me.
Jeremy: I’m a drug-using delinquent, a girl in bed doesn’t really rank. — Jeremy & Vicki, S01E05

Jenna: And have you heard from Stefan?
Elena: Not since he left that very vague message three days ago: “Hi, um, Elena, I, um, have something I have to do. I’ll, um, explain in a few days.” — Elena & Jenna, S01E05

The sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band, just the ones who could pull off the bikini. I want, in your face, sexy, i mean, it’s a fund raiser, for God’s sake. — Caroline, S01E05

Damon: Family only runs so deep.
Zach: We’re not family, Damon. Only in the most dysfunctional sense. In fact, I avoided having a living, breathing, loving family because of you.
Damon: I don’t guess I could talk you into bringing me a rabbit or something? I’d settle for Stefan’s diet at this point. — Damon & Zach, S01E05

Elena: He’s just so secretive all the time. I think there’s something that he doesn’t want me to know, which makes me want to know all the more.
Matt: Like what? Like that he’s a serial killer and he keeps a clown suit in his trunk? — Elena & Matt, S01E05

Elena: Hey, this is for the garlic bread, right? Because I’m not eating garlic unless you agree to, too.
Stefan: Are you kidding? I love garlic. — Elena & Stefan, S01E05

Damon: You won. You got the bad guy. Now nothing could come between you and Elena. Except the truth. The lies will catch up to you, Stefan. As long as you keep lying to yourself about what you are.
Stefan: The beauty of you in there and me out here… is that I can walk away. — Damon & Stefan, S01E05

Logan: Hi. Elena, right? I think I met you once when you were nine
Jenna: Your emotional maturity level when we were together. — Jenna & Logan, S01E04

Caroline: You bite me.
Damon: And you liked it, remember? — Caroline & Damon, S01E05

Jeremy: They’re waste of space small-town lifers.
Vicki: Yeah? What am I?
Jeremy: You’re different, Vick.
Vicki: No, you are. You’re the kid with the big house who’s acting out because his parents died. Guess what? You’ll get over it. You will pull yourself together, move on, and one day tell your kids stories about your dark period growing up. And I’ll still be here, waiting tables at the Grill, partying at the cemetery with a bunch of waste of space small-town lifers. Look… go home, Jeremy. If I want to feel like crap about myself, I’ll just go back to Tyler. — Jeremy & Vicki, S01E05

Sheriff Forbes: Honey, are you ok? Anything you want to talk about? Is it a boy thing?
Caroline: Mom, if I want to talk boys, I’ll call dad. At least he’s successfully dating one. — Caroline & Sheriff Forbes, S01E05

Dear Diary: I’m not a believer. People are born, they grow old, and then they die. That’s the world we live in. There’s no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There’s nothing that defies rational thought. People are supposed to be who they say they are. And not lie or hide their true selves. It’s not possible. I’m not a believer, I can’t be. But how can I deny what’s right in front of me? Someone who never grows old… never gets hurt… someone who changes in ways that can’t be explained. — Elena, S01E05

Bonnie: I don’t know what’s happening to me.
Grams: I know, dear. — Bonnie & Grams, S01E05

What are you? — Elena a Stefan, S01E05
