Elijah Mikaelson
- To whom it may concern - TVD
Excuse me. To whom it may concern: you're making a big mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. You hear that? I repeat: you cannot beat me. So I want the girl, on the count of three, or heads will roll. Are we clear on this now?
Katherine Pierce
- Thanks to you - TVD
Everyone has a past, Stefan. Mine needed to stay far, far away. But thanks to you, my plan nearly failed before it even began. Once George told me that the roundup was imminent, I made sure I could see you one last time. But your father used you love for me against you. He poisoned your blood. We didn't have long. Then Damon, being Damon, nearly ruined everything.
Damon Salvatore
- You there yet? - TVD
Am I the only one around here who has the ability to put two and two together? Isobel! Helloooo! She dated John when she was 15; she gets pregnant, and ends up in the doctor's office of John's brother. Now, what do you think John's role is in all this? I mean, go ahead and think about it, I'll wait. (Pauses) Did you get it? You there yet?
Stefan Salvatore
- Could be you - TVD
It hurts me. It hurts me knowing what I've done. And that pain - that pain is with me all the time. And every day I think that if I just give myself over to blood, I can make that pain stop. It would be that easy. And every day I fight that. And I am so terrified that one day, I'm not going to want to fight that anymore, Elena. And the next time I hurt somebody, it could be you.
Damon Salvatore
- Tsk - TVD
It is what it is, Elena. The Stefan you know is 'good behavior' Stefan; 'reign it in' Stefan; 'fight against his nature to an annoyingly obsessive level' Stefan. But if you think there's not another part to this, then you have not been paying attention. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Anna Zhu
- The Vampire Diaries
Do you even know why we turn other people? It's not just to give someone a one-way ticket out of loner-hood, okay? One, we need someone to do our dirty work. Two, revenge. Three, boredom, but you know that never turns out well. And then, you know, there's the obvious one - you love someone so much that you would do anything to spend all of eternity with them. I'm sorry but you don't fit any of those categories yet.
Matt Donovan
- I'm The Kid - The Vampire Diaries
Do you know what I was doing tonight, Mom? I was having fun, you know, trying to forget about all the crap that I have to deal with every day. Just enjoying a night with my friends. And then, there you are, wasted at the bar - where I work, by the way, to pay the bills that you don't pay. And then you're off acting like a freakin' kid, hooking up with some guy half your age. I'm the kid, Mom. You're supposed to be responsible for me.
Stefan Salvatore
- I'm sorry - The Vampire Diaries
All I can remember is hating you. There may have been a time when that was different, but your choices have erased anything good about you. I also know that you have just as much reason to hate me. This all began because of me. Katherine got taken away from you because of me... and I'm sorry.
Elena Gilbert
- Buried in it - Vampire Diaries
You asked me what I wanted my future to be. I wanted to be a writer. My mom sort of pushed me into that direction from the time I was able to read. She supported me, encouraged me, bought me my first journal... and then she died. And I can't see myself being a writer any more. That was something that we shared. I know that you think that you brought all this bad stuff into my life, but my life already had it. I was buried in it.
Caroline Forbes
- Now, with the heys? - The Vampire Diarires
It reeks of awkward subtext. You just spent the night in my bed. There was cuddling. Then you snuck out before dawn so you wouldn't have to face me. Which, I must say is a total lame guy move. Which I did not appreciate. Now, with the heys? Seriously? I mean, I may have been some pathetic mess after the party, but do not mistake that for me being a pushover. Because I do not let guys mess with my head anymore.
Damon Salvatore
- Believe it or not - The Vampire Diaries
Well, the vervain keeps me out of her head. Maybe that's not my target. Believe it or not, Stefan, some girls don't need my persuasion. Some girls just can't resist my good looks, my style, my charm... and my unflinching ability to listen to Taylor Swift.
Elena Gilbert
- I get it - The Vampire Diaries
It's okay, Stefan. I get it. You have no idea how much I get it. Complicated brother? Check. Complicated Ex? Check. Too complicated to even contemplate dating? Double check. It's okay. We met and we talked and it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set in.
Elena Gilbert
- I'm Not Sorry Either - The Vampire Diaries
Fine, then I'm not sorry either. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything, that in death you're the one that made me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person, you've made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices that I've made this will prove to be the worst one. But I am not sorry that I'm in love with you. I love you, Damon. I love you.
Damon Salvatore
- I'm Not Sorry - The Vampire Diaries - Part 2
I'd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was because that's who I am Elena, and I'm not gonna change. And there's no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I'm wrong for you.
Damon Salvatore
- I'm Not Sorry - The Vampire Diaries - Part 1
I didn't say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said I'm not sorry. But you know what I really am? Selfish, because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes I would rather have dies than be human. I'd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when I'm too old and sick and miserable and you're still you.
Meredith Grey
- Reinventing - Grey's Anatomy
The surgical scalpel is made of sterilized carbonized stainless steel. This is a vast improvement over the first scalpel, which was pretty much a sharp stick. Medicine is constantly reinventing itself, that means surgeons have to keep reinventing themselves too. There's constant pressure to adapt to changes. It can be a painful process. But without it, you'll find yourself moving backwards instead of forwards.
Derek Shepherd
- Chief of Surgery - Grey's Anatomy
I feel like we got off on the wrong foot this morning. I don't expect to win your trust overnight. But I want each of you to know you have mine. Which is why I felt it was important to personally come in here and apologize. From this point on, everyone has a clean slate. I am not focused on the past. I'm looking to the future to all the promise this hospital has to offer. I plan to honor Richard Webber and his legacy, which is why I'm both humbled and honored to be your new Chief of Surgery.
Christina Yang
- Pieces of me - Grey's Anatomy - Part 2
Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Christina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again.
Christina Yang
- Pieces of me - Grey's Anatomy - Part 1
Burke was - He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself to what he wanted. One day I was me, Christina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride.
Derek Shepherd
- Blind Trust - Grey's Anatomy
We ask a lot of our patient. We put them to sleep. Cut them open. Poke around in their brain and guts with sharp instruments. We ask for their blind trust. Irony is, trust is hard for surgeons, because we're trained from day one that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. The only instincts you can count on are your own. Until one day, you leave the classroom and step into the OR. You're surrounded by others. A team that you have to rely on whether you trust them or not.
