Quotes
Katherine: It was easy to get inside of your head. Have you completely forsaken your nature?
Stefan attacks Katherine who then pushes him across the room
Katherine: Are we really going to do this again? We both know I could rip you to shreds and do my nails at the same time.
Stefan: What do you want?
Katherine: I wanted to see you, I miss you Stefan. Indulge me for a little while please.
Stefan: Why are you back in town?
Katherine: Three reasons: You, you, and…You.

Tyler: Come on man give me two minutes. Alright, you can’t keep dodging me. I’m freaking out over here.
Mason: Tyler, what do you want me to say man? Yes I turn into a wolf. No it’s not gonna happen to you.
Tyler: How do you know that?
Mason: Because your not gonna trigger the curse. Your dad didn’t know anything about any of this and neither did I until it happened to me.
Tyler: How does it get triggered?
Mason: Ignorance is bliss. Trust me.

Henry: I looked into those attacks from the other night. It wasn’t vampires.
Katherine: That’s good news, Henry. It means we have nothing to worry about.
Henry: I’m afraid you don’t understand. Those folks were ripped apart in ways I’ve never seen before.

Katherine: have you not heard the word that i’ve said, i’ve answer that question five times over now.
Stefan: well good make it six.
Katherine: i want what i want Stefan, and i don’t care what i have to do to get it, my list if victims is a long one and i have no problem adding one more name to that list.
Stefan: come on Katherine, you wanted Elena dead, you would have done it by now.
Katherine: still can. If I have to, I will snap her neck like a twig and you know it. Guess you don’t hate me as much as you thought you did. Katherine: i don’t want you seeing Elena anymore, if you remove her from your life, i will kill everyone that she loves while she watch, and then i will kill her while you watch

Elena: What do you want?
Damon: So this is where you spend your time when you’re not stabbing people in the back. Elena: I tricked you. That’s not stabbing you in the back; it’s using your own tactics against you.
Damon: Where are you going?
Elena: I made myself clear, Damon. I don’t want anything to do with you. Damon: Okay, see you at Jenna’s barbecue.

Elena: How do you know about Jenna’s barbecue?
Damon: Well it was my idea. Jenna went to school with Mason, so I figured it was a good opportunity to get to know the guy. So I asked Alaric, to ask Jenna…”
Elena: Does Jenna know you’re coming? ‘Cause she’s not exactly a big fan of yours.
Damon: Well I figured this peach cobbler would be a good way.

Elena: What are you up to?
Damon: I’m gonna stick some silver into Mason Lockwood to prove he’s a werewolf. See you at the barbecue.

Katherine: Bad day?
Damon: Bad century.

Mason:(to Damon) I heard great things about you.
Damon: Really? That’s weird because I’m a dick.

Damon(to Mason) I pegged you for the lone wolf.
Mason: I’m sure I’m not half the lady killer you are.

Stefan: They were your friends. They were your family. And you just sold them out.
Katherine: Without blinking.

Jenna: (To Elena) I`ll be nice when Damon learns to keep his paws off you.
