Quotes

Damon (To Stefan) : "'Dear Diary, a chipmunk asked me my name today. I told him it was Joe. That lie will haunt me forever."
Damon (To Stefan) : "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to live out my eternal existence as far away from you as possible."
Damon (To Stefan) : "What do you say, brother? You wanna go get drunk?"
Stefan (To Damon) : "Ah, I get it, I get it. You're bored! Your best friend's in jail and you don't have anything better to do with yourself."
Damon (To Stefan about Rebekah) : "Ooh, she-devil, 9 o' clock."
Damon (To Stefan) : "You know, quitting blood cold-turkey after a ripper binge, probably not the best approach."
Damon (To Rebekah) : "You know, you don't have to disguise your true motives, bonny Beks. If you want more sex, just ask for it."
Damon (To Rebekah about Stefan) : "You'll have to excuse my little brother, he is jonesing for some O-positive."
Stefan (To Damon): "Remember Sage?"
Damon (about Sage): "Speaking of great sex."
Sage : "Who's next? One hundred dollars to any man who can beat me."
Rebekah (To Damon and Stefan) : "I knew a Sage once. Trashy little thing."
Meredith (To Elena about Alaric) : "You took pity on a borderline alcoholic vampire hunter and you never even thought to look any deeper!"
Meredith (To Elena) : "You date vampires, Elena. It shouldn't come as a shock to learn that your guardian is a murderer!"
Matt (To Elena) : "I'll add breaking and entering to the list of life favors you owe me."
Elena (To Matt about Meredith) : "Skeletons in the closet. Just like a true founder."
Rebekah (To Damon) : "That's a bit sexist. A woman could easily kill a man, with the right motivation."
Damon: "Sage showed me how to have a good time."
Sage (To Damon): "A woman isn't just for food, she's for pleasure."
Sage (To Damon) : "What is being a vampire if not relishing in the pleasure of it?"
Damon: "Don't be afraid."
Sage: "Now that's more like it!"
Damon (To Stefan): "Have you've been eating relatives again?"
Stefan (To Damon): "It's been almost 50 years."
Damon (To Stefan): "Why would I be mad at you, Stefan? You made me become a vampire, now I walk the world alone, drinking other people's blood."
Sage (to Damon after he killed a girl): "Bad vampire!"
Damon (To Stefan) : "Save her. Go on, have a bite! I snatched, you eat, I'll erase."
Elena (To Matt about Damon) : "Damon just sort of snuck up on me. He got under my skin and no matter what I do, I just...I can't shake him."
Matt (To Elena) : "Sometimes it pays to be the only normal one in a town full of vampires. You're practically invisible."
Stefan (To Damon): "I can teach you how to survive without human blood, you know."
Damon (To Stefan): "You do not get to lecture me on how to live my life."
Damon (To Stefan): "Go ahead, Stefan, pick one!"
Damon (To Stefan) : "Yes, they are people, Stefan, people with blood pumping through their veins, waiting to be opened up and sucked dry."
Stefan (To Damon): "I don't do that anymore."
Damon (To Stefan): "But you can, Stefan. We can. You've just forgotten how good it feels."
Damon (To Stefan) : "Let the past be the past. Have a drink with me, brother."
Meredith (To Alaric) : "You have a ring that lets you cheat death, Ric. How many times can you die before it changes you?"
Liz (To Alaric) : "I don't know what to think! I've got nothing, except murder weapons from your stash and a respected member of a founding family pointing a very long finger..."
Alaric (To Liz) : "She is setting me up! I'm being framed here!"
