Damon Salvatore
- Damon Salvatore: [opens door, takes one look at earnest bearded young guy] We're all good with Bibles, thanks.
- [is about to close door]
- Luke Parker: I'm Luke. Liv's twin brother.
- Damon Salvatore: Liv has a twin? Is it possible for there to be just one of someone around here?
- Damon Salvatore: [finds Elena waiting for him, folds his arms] We need some rules here. If I'm not allowed to drive you home, then I definitely don't think you're allowed to ambush me in my bedroom.
- Elena Gilbert: I just... I just wanted to... say thank you. Whatever you did, it worked.
- Damon Salvatore: Ah. Well, I'm sorry to tear you away from paradise.
- Elena Gilbert: It was paradise, actually.
- Damon Salvatore: I told you, I don't wanna know.
- Elena Gilbert: But you need to know.
- [Damon sighs]
- Elena Gilbert: I saw... a perfect life. Stefan and I were married, and we had kids. It was everything that we wanted.
- Damon Salvatore: Well, we can always ask Markos to put it back.
- Elena Gilbert: But it's not real. You and I...
- [nods]
- Elena Gilbert: we're messy and... complicated, but... we're real.
- Damon Salvatore: And really bad for each other. Did you forget that part?
- Elena Gilbert: [nods] Yeah, but I still need you in my life.
- Damon Salvatore: As friends, right.
- [she looks down]
- Damon Salvatore: Right. No, Elena, I can't be your friend. It's too damn hard.
- Elena Gilbert: Damon...
- Damon Salvatore: No, I'm serious, Elena. I can't see you anymore. I don't wanna hear your voice. I don't wanna talk to you. I don't even wanna look at you.
- [shakes his head]
- Damon Salvatore: And I sure as hell don't wanna be your friend.
- Elena Gilbert: If that's what you want...
- Damon Salvatore: That's what I want.
- Elena Gilbert: Okay.
- [nods]
- Elena Gilbert: Yeah, okay.
- [walks away]
- Elena Gilbert: [finds Damon sitting forlornly in front doorway on porch] What are you doing out here?
- Damon Salvatore: [takes sip from drink] Ah, you know. Looking at the stars, listening to the universe laugh at me.
- Elena Gilbert: Damon...
- Damon Salvatore: We were doomed from the very beginning, Elena. We were always gonna end up here.
- Elena Gilbert: [sighs, scoffs] Damon... they're just visions. As soon as we find Markos, they'll stop.
- Damon Salvatore: And then what? We're friends? Can't wait.
- Elena Gilbert: [she leans her head on his shoulder, takes his drink away from him, takes sip herself, sighs] Look, I know we are in a bit of a weird place right now. Hey.
- Damon Salvatore: Hmm?
- Elena Gilbert: Look at me.
- [he looks at her sadly]
- Elena Gilbert: The universe doesn't control anything.
- [shakes her head]
- Elena Gilbert: It's not real.
- [sighs, feels another vision coming on]
