Elena: I remember everything. One of the highlights of my transition, remembering everything you compelled me to forget. Like how you and i met first. You were a stranger that told me you wanted me to get everything i wanted from life. Damon, why didn’t you tell me?
Damon: Would it have made a difference? … I didn’t think so.
Elena: You asked me to make a choice Damon, so i did. If you’re going to be mad then take it out on me. Not Stefan or Matt or anyone else…ME!
Damon: Are we done here?
Elena: If it would have been you at the bridge last night and not Stefan. And i begged you to save Matt…
Damon: I would have saved YOU. In a heartbeat. NO question.
Elena: That’s what i thought…then Matt would be dead cause you couldn’t let go. Matt would be dead!!!
Damon: But you wouldn’t be! And you would have gotten to grow up, have the life that you wanted, the life that you deserved, and i know that i didn’t used to get that. But i do now! And i wanted that for you, Elena! And i would have gladly given it to you and let Matt die! Because i AM that selfish. But you knew that already… the first night we met is not all that you remember…
