Pilot [1.1]

Stefan: For over a century I lived in secret. Hiding in the shadows. Alone in the world. Until now! I'm a vampire and this is my story.

Elena: [about to Matt] He hates me.

Bonnie: 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 Jeremy, they just don't care any more. They don't remember that our parents are dead, they have their own lives to deal with. The rest of the world has moved on. You should try to.

Jeremy: 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, so 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.

Zach: You promised (shows him the newspaper with the news of the attack)

Stefan: This was an animal attack.

Zach: Don't give me that, I know the game, you turned them up enough and they always suspect an animal attack, you said you had it under control.

Stefan: And I do.

Zach: Please Uncle Stefan. Mystic Falls is a different place now, it's been quiet for years but there are people who still remember and you being here its just going to stir things up.

Stefan: It's not my intention.

Zach: Then what is? Why did you come back after all this time? Why now?

Stefan: I don't have to explain myself.

Zach: I know that you can't change who you are, but you don't belong here anymore.

Stefan: Where do I belong?

Zach: I can't tell you what to do. But coming back here was a mistake.

The Night of the Comet [1.2]

Stefan: You wanna expose me?

Damon: No. I want you to remember who you are!

Friday Night Bites [1.3]

Stefan: Katherine is dead and you hate me because you loved her... and you torture me because you still do.

Stefan: They are people, Damon. She's not a puppet, she doesn't exist for your amusement, for you to feed on whenever you want to.

Damon: Sure she does. They all do. They're whatever I want them to be.

Stefan: It's time for you to go.

Damon: That's not a problem. Because I've been invited in. And I'll come back tomorrow... and the following night.

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

Family Ties [1.4]

Stefan: If I did it there’s no guarantee that it will work…because of who I am, because of how I life.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.
