Quotes 

• Caroline Forbes : Damon, what are you doing upstairs?

  Damon Salvatore : That's a good question. Sybil called me back here. She wants that ball of iron I've been lugging around. The first time I was actually able to tell her "no." Because of this.

  [swings pendant] 

  Caroline Forbes : If you haven't given her that bell striker yet, I need it. It's part of a weapon that can kill sirens.

  Damon Salvatore : Absolutely *not!* I don't want Sybil dead till she fixes what's going on inside of my head! I don't know what's happening to me, but so far, this *thing*

  [holds up the pendant] 

  Damon Salvatore : has been nothing but trouble. Why did you give me this?

  Caroline Forbes : It was Elena's.

  Damon Salvatore : Yeah, I know that. Why does it mean anything to me? I hold it, and I get this little flicker of warmth. And then, poof, it's gone.

  Caroline Forbes : What did that woman do to you?

  Damon Salvatore : After I flipped my switch, Sybil tinkered, in my head. I don't know what it was, but she did something to guarantee that all my feelings for Elena went away.

  Caroline Forbes : Damon, I gave you that necklace because it is as powerful and as magical as the love that you and Elena have for each other. Being here and feeling what you're feeling prove that a love that deep and real can win over anything.

  Damon Salvatore : And of course, you wanna believe that. Because if you didn't, you'd be forced to admit to yourself that you and Stefan are through.

  Caroline Forbes : [shakes her head]  What are you talking about?

  Damon Salvatore : He's ripping again, Caroline. And this time, it's guilt-free.

  Caroline Forbes : The fact that you're telling me this *proves* you care. Somewhere, deep down, in that part of you where Elena is still buried.

  [Damon starts walking away] 

  Caroline Forbes : Find that place, Damon! Fight for her. Or... spend the rest of eternity trying to figure out what happened to the best part of you.

  [he turns around to look at her] 

  Caroline Forbes : It's your choice.

• Sybil : When this is over, you're gonna thank me.

  Damon Salvatore : Or murder you for squatting in my mind.
