Elena's Quotes

[Arabella Rosier]

Elena: I made it through the day. I must have said "I'm fine" 37 times.

Elena: Matt and I together, it wasn't...
Stefan: Passionate.

Elena: There's more to me than just gloomy grave yard girl.

Damon: I'm Damon, Stefan's brother.
Elena: He didn' tell me he had a brother.
Damon: Well, Stefan isn't one to brag.

Elena: I think there's something he doesn't want me to know, which makes me wanna know all the more.
Matt: Like he's a serial killer and keeps a clown suit in his trunk?

Elena: How do you look in a suit?
Stefan: I can pull one off.

Stefan: Damon is trying to get you to turn against me.
Elena: Well then I guess it's working.

Elena: Some things could matter again.
Damon: Maybe. But it seems a little unrealistic to me.

[Arabella Rosier]

Bandit: Hold up, who's this?
Elena: All I see is back.
Jessica: It's a hot back! I'm sensing Seattle and he plays a guitar.
Elena: You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?
Jessica: Pretty much.
Elena: [about to Matt] He hates me.
Bandit: That's not hate. That's "You dumped me but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits."

Elena: People are going to stop giving you breaks, Kim. They just don't care any more. They don't remember that our parents left us, they have their own lives to deal with. The rest of the world has moved on. You should try to.
Kim: I've seen you in the cemetery writing in your diary. Is that... is that supposed to be you moving on?

Stefan: I know it's late, but I needed to know if you're okay.
Elena: You know, for months, that's all everyone's wondered about me, if I'll be OK.
Stefan: What do you tell them?
Elena: That I'll be fine.
Stefan: Do you ever mean it?
Elena: Ask me tomorrow. (Stefan stares at her) It's warmer in the house, we can talk. Would you like to come in?
Stefan: (smiles) Yes.

Elena: We never got to the texting part.
Bandit: That's an important part in any relationship.

Elena: He told me about your ex.. Katherine?
Stefan: What did he say?
Elena: She broke your heart.
Stefan: It was a long time ago.
Elena: When you lose someone, it stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt.
Stefan: Elena…
Elena : 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? Check. We met and we talked and it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set in.

Elena: I went home tonight planning to write in my diary, which I've done every day since my mother gave me one when I was 10. It's where I get everything out and it all goes in this one little book, which I keep on the 2nd shelf behind this really hideous ceramic mermaid. Then I realized I would only be writing things I should probably be telling you.
Stefan: What would you write?
Elena: I would write, `Dear Diary, Today I convinced myself it's okay to give up. Stick with the status quo, now just isn't the time. But my reasons aren't reasons there excuses and the truth is, I'm scared` Stefan. I'm scared that if I let myself be happy for one minute, that the my worlds going to come crashing down and I don't know if I'll be able to survive that.
Stefan: Do you want to know what I would write? `I met a girl, we talked and it was epic. Then the sun came up and reality set in`. Well, this is reality... right here.

Elena: That throw was insane! I didn't know you play football.
Stefan: I used to, it was a long time ago.
Elena: So why don't you try out for the team?
Stefan: Yeah, I don't think so.
Elena: So you don't like football?
Stefan: No I love football, I think it's a great sport but in this case I don't think football likes me. You saw Tyler over there and we both know how Matt feels.
Elena: They don't know you. To them your just mysterious loner guy. Wouldn't hurt to be a part of the team, make some friends.
Stefan: Says the girl who spends her alone time writing in a cemetery.
Elena: Hey, come on, there's more to me then just gloomy graveyard girl. There's a whole another Elena you have yet to meet. She was into everything, very busy.
Stefan: Well I look forward to meeting her, and when will that be?
Elena: Soon. She's working on it.

Jessica: Fine. Well, how about this. Today, I’m obsessed with numbers. Three numbers. I keep seeing 8, 14 and 22. How weird is that?
Elena: Maybe we should play the lottery?

Elena: Look, you’re the mystery guy and I like that. But with mystery comes secrets.. and this thing with Katherine…
Stefan: You know, let it go. I don’t wanna talk about it.
Elena: Well, then say something about yourself.. anything. Otherwise, I’m left with nothing but what other people tell me.

Stefan: Look, there are things that you don’t know, okay? Things that I want to tell you but I can’t, and I may never be able to.. and I just need you to trust me.
Elena: Trust is earned. I can’t just magically hand it over.

Elena: I think there’s something that he doesn’t want me to know which... makes me wanna know all the more.
Matt: Like what? Like that he’s a serial killer and he keeps a clown suit in his trunk?

Stefan: Talk to who? I'm so sorry that I'm late.
Elena: What happened?
Stefan: I got held up.
Elena: Is everything okay?
Stefan: There’s this thing with my uncle.
Elena: And you couldn't call and tell me you’re going to be an hour late.
Stefan: I’m really sorry. It was unavoidable.
Elena: What was unavoidable? (Stefan looks down) Okay.
Stefan: No. Er. Elena please.
Elena: No, Stefan don't you get it every question gets a vague non-answer. What is so awful that your afraid to tell me?

Elena: 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 is nothing that defies rational thought. 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. Girls bitten.. bodies drained of blood..

Elena: (to Stefan) What are you ?
Stefan: You know.
Elena: No. I don't.
Stefan: Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here.
Elena: It's not possible. It can't be.
Stefan: Everything you know, and every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?
Elena: What are you?
Stefan: [pause] I'm a vampire.
Elena: I shouldn't have come.
Stefan: No....please...please
Elena: No! [Turns and runs towards her car]........How did you do that?
Stefan: Please don't be afraid of me.

Stefan: I’ll explain everything to you but I beg you, Elena.. do not tell anybody.
Elena: How can you ask me that?
Stefan: Because you knowing this is dangerous! For so many reasons. You can hate me.. but I need you to trust me.
Elena: Just go.. just go, please.. go. If you mean me no harm then you’ll go.
Stefan: I never wanted this.

Elena: What are we doing here?
Stefan: I wanna show you something.
Elena: In the middle of nowhere???
Stefan: This.. didn’t use to be nowhere. This used to be my home.

Elena: So how...?
Stefan: I've been 17 years old since 1864.

Stefan: That's the thing about Damon. He doesn't get mad. He just gets even.
Elena: You knew Katherine in 1864? Damon made it seem like...
Stefan: Damon was trying to make you think that I was still heart-broken. He saw that I was happy with you and he wanted to ruin it.
Elena: All because you loved the same woman, a hundred and... forty-five years ago ?

Damon: Don’t look at me with those judgey little eyes. That girl is gonna thank me for what I did to her.
Elena: Did you thank Katherine?
Damon: Got the whole life story, huh?
Elena: I got enough.
Damon: Oh, I doubt that.

Stefan: I’ll take care of it.. I’ll find her and I will show her that she can live like I do, I’m gonna make sure that she does not hurt anybody, Elena, I promise you…
Elena: What do I tell my brother, and.. and Matt?!
Stefan: We’ll come up with a story.
Elena: You mean we’ll come up with a lie?
Stefan: I’m so.. sorry…
Elena: I gave you today just like you asked. And I understand that you would never do anything to hurt me and I promise I will keep your secret but.. I can’t be with you, Stefan. I’m sorry I.. I just can’t.

[Arabella Rosier]

Elena: Is Stefan here?
Damon: Yup.
Elena: Where is he?
Damon: And good morning to you, little miss ‘I’m on a mission’.
Elena: How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you’ve done?
Damon: And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?
Elena: If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead.
Damon: Yes, you would.
Elena: But I’m not.
Damon: Yet.
Elena: Where is Stefan?
Damon: He's upstairs. Singing "The Rain In Spain". Knock yourself out.

Elena: People die around you. How could it not matter?! It matters and you know it…
Damon: You confuse me with someone with Remorse.

Elena: Are you okay?
Stefan: I, uh…I wanted to help her. But instead, uh… How’s he doing?
Elena: He’s a mess. I don’t want him going through this again. He’s just a kid.
Stefan: Elena, what can I do? What can I do to help? I’ll do anything.
Elena: Can you make him forget?
Stefan: Elena...
Elena: Stefan, please. I don’t know how he’ll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened.
Stefan: If I did it there’s no guarantee that it will work…because of who I am, because of how I live. I don’t have the ability to do it right.
Damon: I can do it. If this is what you want…I’ll do it.
Elena: It’s what I want.
Damon: What do you want him to know?
Elena: I want you to tell him that Vicki left town. And she’s not coming back, that he shouldn’t look for her or worry about her. He’s gonna miss her, but he knows it’s for the best.
(Damon walks in the house. Elena sits by Stefan)
Elena: Part of me wants to forget, too. Forget meeting you, finding out what you are and everything that happened since.
Stefan: If that’s what you want.
Elena: Yes, it is. Because I don’t want it to be like this. I don’t wanna feel like this. But I can’t. With everything that happened... I can’t lose the way I feel about you.
(Damon walks out of the house. Elena looks at him)
Damon: It’s done.

Jeremy: Want to keep it down over there?
Jenna: Why, what are you doing?
Jeremy: Homework.
Elena: Since when do you do homework?
Jeremy: I got to finish this, I'm way behind and I have a quiz tomorrow so.
Elena: What do you think..Alien?
Jenna: Some sort of replicate.
Jeremy: He can hear you.

Damon: Stefan smiles… Alert the media!
Elena: You haven’t given him a lot of reasons to be happy lately.

Damon: Does he get tired? Being so righteous?
Elena: *smirks* It flares up in the presence of psychopaths.
Damon: Ouch! Well consider this psychopath’s feeling hurt.

Elena: What did you do to my brother?
Damon: I’mma need a less vague question…

Lexi: Ah. The famous Elena.
Elena: Towel girl.
Lexi: I've been called worse. Here.
[Lexi hands Elena a shot of alcohol]
Elena: I didn't know that you guys could drink.
Lexi: Oh, yeah. It helps curb the cravings. But... makes for a lot of lushy vamps.
Elena: You know, I've never seen Stefan drunk. He always seems so...
Lexi: Uptight?
Elena: Yeah.
Lexi: Yeah.
Elena: But not with you.
Lexi: Well, that's the benefit of knowing someone for over a hundred years. You can just be yourself.

Elena: Stefan, Stefan….
Stefan: He killed her. He killed Zach. He killed Tanner. He turned Vicki. I have to kill him.
Elena: No. You can't do that.
Stefan: Why are you trying to save him? He's never gonna change. Don't you see that? He's never gonna change.
Elena: I'm not trying to save him. I'm trying to save you. You have no idea what this will do to you. Please, Stefan.
Stefan: Everywhere that I go, pain and death follow. Damon follows me. No more.
Elena: Please. Please, just talk to me. Let me be here for you. Talk to me.
Stefan: You were right to stay away from me.

[Arabella Rosier]

Damon: Good morning.
Elena: Where are we?
Damon: Georgia.
Elena: Georgia? No. No, were not, Seriously, Damon, where are we?
Damon: Seriously, we're, we're in Georgia.
Damon: How are you feeling?
Elena: I... I...
Damon: There are no broken bones, I checked.
Elena: My car... There was a man... I hit a man, but then he got up and... who was that?
Damon: That's what I would like to know.
Elena: Where is my phone? Okay, we really need to go back, nobody knows where I am. Pull over. I mean it Damon, pull over. Stop the car.
Damon: Oh, you were so much more fun when you were asleep. (stops the car)
Elena: [gets out of the car]
Damon: [helps her]
Elena: I'm fine... We have to go back.
Damon: Oh, come on. We've already come this far.
Elena: Why are you doing this? I can't be in Georgia. I... I wrecked my car. I have to go home. This is kidnapping.
Damon: That’s a little melodramatic, don’t you think? [smiles]
Elena: You're not funny. You can't do this. I'm not going to Georgia.
Damon: Well you're in Georgia. [smiles] Without your magical necklace, I might add. I can very easily make you... agreeable. [smiles]
Elena: What are you trying to prove?
[Elena's phone rings]
Elena: That’s my phone.
Damon: Mmm... [looks at the phone] It's your ex boyfriend...[holds the phone out to her] I'll take it. [Answers] Elena's phone...
Stefan: Where is she? Why do you have her phone? Is she okay?
Damon: Elena? Yeah, she's right here. And, yes, she's fine.
Stefan: Where are you? Let me talk to her.
Damon: [to Elena] He wants to talk to you.
Elena: Mm [shakes her head saying no]
Damon: [to Stefan] Yeah, I, uh, I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now.
Stefan: Damon, I swear to God if you touch her... [Interrupted by Damon]
Damon: You have a good day, bye now...

Elena: Look, no one knows where I am. Can we please just go back?
Damon: We’re almost there.
Elena: Where is there?
Damon: It’s a little place, right outside of Atlanta. Oh, come on, Elena. You don’t want to go back right now do you? What’s the rush? Time-out. Trust me, the problem is still going to be there when you come home. Look, step away from your life, for 5 minutes. 5 minutes.
Elena: Am I going to be safe with you?
Damon: Yes.
Elena: You promise not to do that mind-control-thing with me?
Damon: Yes.
Elena: Can I trust you?
Damon: Get in the car. Come on

Stefan: Now we have to make Damon agree.
Elena: He already agreed once.
Stefan: Yes, and then we double-crossed him. So now he's angry.
Elena: He's hurt. There's a difference.

Damon: Fool me once, shame on you.
Elena: Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use your compulsion on me?
Damon: Who says I didn't?
Elena: You didn't. I know you didn't. But you could have. You and I... we have something... an understanding, and I know that my betrayal hurt you, different than when it comes from Stefan, but I'm promising that I will help you get Katherine back.
Damon: I wish I can believe you.
Elena: [removing her Vervain necklace] Ask me if I'm lying now.
Damon: [placing her necklace back] I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we're having fun... I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you - don't make me regret it.
