Bloodlines
Damon helps Elena after she crashes her car
[Elena sees a man in the middle of the road. She slams on her brakes but hits the man. Her car rolls over and over. She is stuck in her seat. The man somehow recovers and starts walking towards her car. Elena screams. The man runs away. A second later, Damon appears.]
ELENA: Ah!
DAMON: How ya doing in there? ELENA: Damon? DAMON: You look stuck. ELENA: It's my seatbelt. I can't get it. DAMON: Let me get you out of there. I want you to put your hands on the roof. Just like that. You ready? 1, 2, 3. [Damon ejects her seatbet] I got you. [Damon picks up Elena.] Are you ok? Can you stand? Is anything broken?
ELENA: Uh-uh.
[Damon puts Elena down but she can barely stand. Damon catches her before she falls to the ground.] DAMON: Whoa, you're fading fast, Elena. Elena, look at me. [Damon grabs her face] Focus. Look at me. Ok. ELENA: I look like her...
DAMON: What?
[Elena faints. Damon grabs her and slowly puts her on the ground. He brushes her face with his hand.]
DAMON: Upsy-daisy.
[Damon picks her up and carries her away.]
Fool Me Once
Elena asks Damon to trust her by taking off her necklace
Damon: I'm gonna have to change the locks. You stage a jailbreak?
[Damon picks up the grimoire.]
Elena: Stefan.
Damon: Ah, brother. Ever the white knight.
Elena: I convinced Bonnie to help you.
Damon: I doubt that.
[Elena walks around the edge of the study towards the stairs, leading to the sunken part of the room where Damon is.]
Elena: I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry we got the grimoire without you last night, because I'm not really.
Damon: Well, at least you're honest.
Elena: I was protecting the people I love, Damon. But so were you, in your own, twisted way. And as hard as it is to figure, we're all on the same side, after the same thing.
[Elena descends the stairs.]
Damon: Not interested.
[Damon starts to leave.]
Elena: Yes you are, because you were willing to work with us yesterday.
Damon: [turns around] Fool me once, shame on you.
Elena: Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use your compulsion on me?
[Damon places the grimoire on a table and walks towards Elena, crossing his arms.]
Damon: Who's to say I didn't?
Elena: You didn't. I know you didn't. But you could have. You and I... we have something. An understanding. And I know that my betrayal hurt you, different from how it is with you and Stefan, but I'm promising you this now, I will help you get Katherine back.
Damon: [groans, unconvinced] I wish I could believe you.
[Elena unclasps her necklace, takes it off, and holds it in her hand, showing it to Damon.]
Elena: Ask me if I'm lying now.
[Elena places the necklace down on a table and waits for Damon to respond.]
Damon: You know Anna won't stop, by the way, no matter what I do.
Elena: Then we'll deal with it.
[Damon picks up Elena's necklace and clasps it back around her neck.]
Damon: I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun. I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it.
Under Control
Damon talks to Elena about Jeremy and gives her a rose
Elena: Have you noticed what your brother has been up to?
Damon: No, I have been too preoccupied with yours
(She looks at him)
Damon: Jeremy has been asking questions about Vicki Donovan’s death
Elena: He knows that her death was ruled an overdose
Damon: Really? “Oh but sheriff, someone buried her. Who would do that?” I know I know! Me! I mean I could compel him but he’s wearing vervain
Elena: No, I don’t want you to compel him.
Damon: If he keeps asking questions…
Elena: Damon, no I’m serious. I’m not going to do that to him again. I'll handle it.
(Damon takes a rose and gives it to her)
Damon: Okay. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
(She takes the rose, they look at each other and he leaves)
Miss Mystic Falls
Damon steps in for Stefan, and dances with Elena
(Damon looks for Stefan. Elena goes down the stairs and looks for Stefan but she doesn’t see him. Damon takes Stefan’s place to escort Elena. She smiles and rejoins him)
Elena: Where is Stefan?
Damon: I don’t know
(He takes her hand and they rejoins the others girls and their escorts outside)
Jenna: What is she doing with Damon?
Alaric: I have no idea.
Elena: What are we gonna do?
Damon: Right now, we just have to get through this.
(The girls and their escorts begin to dance. Elena and Damon dance, they look at each other and smile. The dance ends)
Under Control
Elena asks Damon to come over to discuss Stefan's behavior
Elena: Oh good you’re here
Damon: You ask I come. I’m easy like that.
(Elena points upstairs. Damon sees Jeremy eating in the kitchen.)
Damon (loud): No Elena, I will not go to your bedroom with you.
(She catches his arm. He laughs and go upstairs with her. Jeremy looks at them. Elena and Damon enter her bedroom)
Damon: Ah, just like I remember.
Elena: Stop messing around
(He lays on her bed and takes the teddy bear with him)
Damon: Did you know that your uncle has been kicking it with the Founder's Council?
Elena: What?
Damon: Yep
Elena: Perfect, we’ll just add it to the growing list of how everything is falling apart.
(Damon looks at the broken lamp)
Damon: What happened right there?
Elena: Uh… nothing
(She seems uncomfortable. He looks at her.)
Elena: Look Damon, I’m worried about Stefan. He says that everything’s okay but he’s clearly struggling. How long is it gonna take before he goes back to normal?
Damon: A few days. Give or take.
Elena: It’s been a few days.
Damon: Give then, I don’t know. What’s the big deal?
(He gets up and gives her the teddy bear)
Elena: He’s not himself, Damon
(Damon is going toward the piece of furniture, opens the drawer and looks in it)
Damon: Well, maybe his problem is that he has spent too long not being himself
(He takes a bra from the drawer. Elena takes it from him and put it back in the drawer)
Elena: Please don’t make me sorry for asking you
(He takes a picture from the mirror; she tries to take it back)
Damon: It is what it is Elena. The Stefan you know was “good behavior Stefan”, ‘reign it in Stefan”, “fight against his nature into an annoying excessive level Stefan” but if you think there isn’t another part to this then you have not been paying attention.
(Elena takes back the picture)
Elena: He’s not you, not even close.
Damon: Well, he doesn’t want to be me. That doesn’t mean that deep down that he’s not.

Let The Right One In
Damon comforts Elena after he finds out that Stefan has been kidnapped by the tomb vampires
ELENA: What happened? Where is he?
DAMON: They have him. I can't get in.
ELENA: Why not?
DAMON: Because the woman who owns the house is compelled to not let me in.
ELENA: I can get in.
DAMON: You're not going in there.
ELENA: I'm going!
DAMON: You're not going in there.
ELENA: Why are they doing this? What do they want with him?
DAMON: Revenge. They want revenge.
ELENA: We gotta do something.
DAMON: I know.
ELENA: We can't let them hurt him. We gotta get him out of there.
DAMON: I know. Elena, I know. But I don't know how to get him out.

Damon: You're afraid of me. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess. Stefan finally fessed up.
Elena: Stay away from me.
Damon: Hey, there's no need to be rude. I'm just looking for Stefan. May I come in? Oh, wait. Of course I can. I've been invited. We can cut to the chase if you want. I'm not gonna kill you right now. That wouldn't serve my greater agenda. So... Where's Stefan?
Elena: He's out looking for Vicki.
Damon: Don't look at me with those judgey little eyes. Girl's gonna thank me for what I did to her.
Elena: Did you thank Katherine?
Damon: Mmm. Got the whole life story, huh?
Elena: I got enough.
Damon: Oh, I doubt that. Tell my brother I'm looking for him. Oh, tip for later, be careful who you invite in the house.

(She hits him.)
Damon:You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding and you need to leave.

Damon: Better. Me.
[Damon walks out of the bathroom, without a shirt on.]

Damon: Dashing? Gorgeous? Irresistible?
[Damon walks across the room, closing the space between him and Elena. Elena pushes him back when he gets uncomfortably close.]

Elena: Huh.
Damon: Yep.
Elena: How are you doing?
Damon: Never better. Yep.
[He puts on a button up shirt.]
Damon: What can I do for you? I'm a barrel of favors today. It's my newfound purpose -- how can I help people?
Elena: I'm just meeting Stefan. We're going to the fundraiser.
[Damon struggles to button up his shirt, but is too drunk to do so. He turns around, looking at Elena.]
Damon: Help a guy out, will you? Can't get this.
[Elena sighs and walks over to Damon. She grabs the front of his shirt and begins buttoning it up.]
Elena: So I found out who my birth mother is.
Damon: Eccch. Who cares?
[Elena looks at him, hurt.]
Damon: She left you. She sucks.
[Elena and Damon exchange glances for a moment, then Elena looks over Damon's shoulder and smiles.]
Elena: Stefan. There you are.
[Elena walks over to Stefan. Stefan smiles at her. Damon starts to put his jacket on.]
Damon: Uhh. I need a bigger jacket. Wow. You know, an occasional sorority girl might, um, you know, help fill you out a little bit.
[Damon throws the jacket onto Stefan's bed and leaves the room.]
Elena: He's fine.
Stefan: He's Damon.
