Alaric is back! And he brought quotes with him. Here are 27 of the best from “Before Sunset.”


#27 “Since when does sire-bond equal mover-slave?”

Caroline

“Since when does sire-bond equal mover-slave?”


#26 “You’re supposed to be dead.”

Rebekah

Alaric: “I am.”


#25 “That’s what happens when you decide to paint your dead guardian’s room in the middle of the night.”

Jeremy


#24 “We have to keep moving. Otherwise, we’ll start thinking, and we don’t want to think.”

Elena


#23 “Don’t blame me! Blame Bonnie the Blood Bank. She fed him.”

Damon


#22 “Poor lad. Loses one questionable father-figure only to be replaced by the likes of the two of you.”

Klaus


#21 “How many times do I have to tell you, Elena? Stop trusting vampires!”

Alaric


#20 “Unfortunately, if Alaric kills you, there’s a one-in-four chance that we die too.”

Stefan

Damon: “I’ll take those odds.”

Stefan: “And there’s a 100 percent chance that Tyler dies.”

Damon: “Good with that too.”


#19 “Don’t get your hopes up. Might be a Girl Scout.”

Damon


#18 “And that is what makes you her better option. It’s a shame it’s not easier for Elena to see that. I mean, personally I think she’s wasting her time with Damon.”

Klaus


#17 “Damon and I have been through a hell of a lot worse than you.”

Stefan


#16 “Hmm. Digital locator spell. Why the hell do we need you then?”

Damon


#15 “Why are you doing this?”

Elena

Alaric: “Because you need me. Because you’re an 18-year-old girl without parents or guidance or any sense of right and wrong anymore.”


#14 “It’s OK, you’re safe. We’ll save Elena. You go straight home. You stay inside. Do you understand? Do you understand me?”

Klaus

Caroline: “Thank you.”


#13 “You’re the worst offender of them all, Elena. You don’t deserve to live!”

Alaric


#12 “Why am I still alive?”

Damon


#11 “Once you’re dead, you won’t have to choose.”

Klaus


#10 “But just between us girls, who would you have picked?”

Klaus

Elena: “Rot in hell.”

Klaus: “You’re welcome. Sweet dreams, Elena. It’s been fun.”

“But just between us girls, who would you have picked?”


#9 “I’m not your little bitch anymore.”

Tyler


#8 “I know it seems selfish. I know it seems like I’m stringing you both along. But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I mean, if I choose one of you, then I lose the other. And I’ve lost so many people, I can’t bear the thought of losing one of you.”

Elena


#7 “Please, I’m more stealth than that. I’m like a ninja.”

Matt


#6 “You know that, sooner or later, you’re gonna have to choose, right?”

Caroline


#5 “Hey, do you guys hear that? That is the sound of a Klaus-free life.”

Tyler


#4 “Join us, Liz. I was just telling the Council about our vampire problem. Or should I say, your vampire problem.”

Alaric


#3 “How many desiccated hybrids does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”

Damon


#2 “You know how these things pan out, Stefan. She’ll probably make a list of pros and cons and, at the end of the day, dump both our asses.”

Damon


#1 “All this over one girl.”

Damon

Stefan: “She’s a pretty special girl.”

Damon: “Yes, she is.”
