Miss Mystic Falls

Stefan Salvatore

[first lines]
Elena Gilbert: Nice car.
Stefan Salvatore: It was a waste leaving it standing in the garage.
[they kiss]
Elena Gilbert: I didn't know you were coming back today.
Stefan Salvatore: You know, I woke up this morning, and I was feeling great, and I figured it was time for me to... get back into things.
Elena Gilbert: Does that mean you're okay now? With all the cravings?
Stefan Salvatore: Yeah, I mean, the worst part is... is over. All I wanna do is just... spend as much time with you as possible.
Elena Gilbert: [happy smile] I'm okay with that.
[kisses him]
Stefan Salvatore: I thank you... for... helping me get through the... rough patch.

Elena Gilbert: [waltzing] This is ridiculous.
Carol Lockwood: [instructing] Both hands!
Stefan Salvatore: You're only saying that because you don't know how to do it.
Elena Gilbert: Sorry only one of us was around when the dance was invented.
Stefan Salvatore: Ouch!
[dips her, much merriment ensues]
Carol Lockwood: There's no touching during this part. It's about the close intimacy of the near touch. Very nice, Amber!
Amber Bradley: Thank you, Mrs. Lockwood!
Stefan Salvatore: [to Elena] If you ask me, the near touch is... overrated.
Elena Gilbert: [smiles] You seem to be in a good mood.
Stefan Salvatore: Is that a bad thing? Would you prefer me to be brooding and tortured?

Amber Bradley: [led down row of parked cars] Where are we going?
Stefan Salvatore: I don't know.
Amber Bradley: I'm in the ceremony.
Stefan Salvatore: [pushes her against car] Not now you're not.
[hypnotic persuasion:]
Stefan Salvatore: You're standing in the parking lot with me.
Amber Bradley: [swayed] I'm in the parking lot with you.
Stefan Salvatore: [tries to avoid doing this] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not very good to be around right now. I'm a little bit on edge. I've... I've been drinking the human stuff and it's really screwing with my head.
[sputtering, then mumbles to himself re Elena:]
Stefan Salvatore: She knows now. She wasn't supposed to find out. I didn't want her to find out. Now everything's ruined.
[sputtering again]
Amber Bradley: You seem sad.
Stefan Salvatore: I'm not sad! I'm freaking hungry!

Stefan Salvatore: [hunched over car, mumbling to himself] I don't hurt people. I don't do that. I'm the good brother.
Amber Bradley: [behind him] Do you wanna hurt me?
Stefan Salvatore: [turns around to look at her] I want to kill you.
[she frowns, looks down]
Stefan Salvatore: I wanna rip into your skin. And I wanna feed on your blood. Under your skin.
[the hypnotized girl is wide-eyed]
Stefan Salvatore: Pulsating, flowing.
[brushes her hair away from her neck,.exposing her throat]
Stefan Salvatore: Your carotid artery right there. If you puncture this just right, you can control the blood flow. It takes practice, but... it doesn't have to make a mess... You do not have to waste any.
Amber Bradley: What's stopping you?
Stefan Salvatore: [scoffs] If I do this... if I give in, there's no going back.
Amber Bradley: [nods] Then don't.
Stefan Salvatore: I just want one taste. That''s all I need. I just want one taste.
Amber Bradley: One taste.
[and then his bared fangs bite into her neck]

Stefan Salvatore: I can't do this.
[grunts]
Amber Bradley: [intended victim] What's the matter?
Stefan Salvatore: [clutches head, walks away] I can't do this.
Amber Bradley: It's okay. It doesn't hurt that much.
[dried blood on her hand and neck]
Amber Bradley: Just... not so hard next time.
Stefan Salvatore: Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. I can't stop. I can't stop.
[she smiles at him as he is about to bite into her neck again]
Stefan Salvatore: Why aren't you afraid of me, huh?
Amber Bradley: You told me not to be.
Stefan Salvatore: [panting, under his breath] What? What's your name?
Amber Bradley: Amber.
Stefan Salvatore: Listen to me, Amber. I need you to be afraid of me. I need you to run like hell. Do you understand me?
[the girl is scared now, wide-eyed with fear, nods]
Stefan Salvatore: Run! Run! Now!

Stefan Salvatore: Now you know.
Elena Gilbert: That wasn't you.
Stefan Salvatore: Oh, it was absolutely me. A monster, a predator. It's who I am, Elena!
Elena Gilbert: That's what the blood makes you!
Stefan Salvatore: The blood brings out what's inside of me. And if you think any differently, then you're an idiot.
Elena Gilbert: I know this isn't you, Stefan.
Stefan Salvatore: I wanted to drain every ounce of blood from that girl's body.
Elena Gilbert: No.
Stefan Salvatore: It's who I am, Elena.
Elena Gilbert: [shakes her head] No, you can't scare me off.
Stefan Salvatore: Why would you risk it? Why did you come here?
Elena Gilbert: Because I did this. This is my fault. I'm the one who made you drink the blood.
Stefan Salvatore: All you did was expose me to who I really am.
Elena Gilbert: This isn't you.
Stefan Salvatore: [violently:] Stop saying that!
[softly:]
Stefan Salvatore: Don't get any closer to me.
Elena Gilbert: I'm not gonna let this happen to you.
Stefan Salvatore: Stop!
Elena Gilbert: Stefan, I'm not gonna give up on you. I believe in you.
Stefan Salvatore: [slams her against the wall] Stop! Stop!
[takes control of himself]
Stefan Salvatore: I'm so sorry.
Elena Gilbert: It's okay.
Stefan Salvatore: I don't know what's happening to me.
[slumps forward into her arms]
Elena Gilbert: It's okay, Stefan. Shh. It's okay. It's okay.
[had a hidden syringe]
Elena Gilbert: You're gonna be okay.
[injects him, and he collapses]
