- Caroline Forbes: [to Elena] I'm sorry, but Stefan is your epic love. And I'm not going down without a fight.
- Stefan Salvatore: [before the decade dance] So given our dangerous dance karma...
- [both chuckle]
- Stefan Salvatore: you sure you're up for this?
- Elena Gilbert: Getting out of bed is dangerous these days. But we have to live our lives.
- Stefan Salvatore: Hmm. Who gave you that horrible advice?
- Elena Gilbert: [snickers] Some guy I used to date said it once or twice.
- Stefan Salvatore: Right.
- Caroline Forbes: Why do you always have to prove you're the alpha male?
- Klaus Mikaelson: I don't have to prove anything, love. I am the alpha male.
- [she scoffs]
- Klaus Mikaelson: Come on. One dance.
- [offers his hand]
- Klaus Mikaelson: I won't bite.
- Stefan Salvatore: We were in this gym the night Klaus compelled me to turn my feelings off. I thought I hit rock bottom in the Twenties, but... after I bit you, I never wanted to feel anything again. But someone... kept telling me it was okay to feel... No matter how much it hurt. That our emotions are what make us human. Good or bad.
- [softly:]
- Stefan Salvatore: To never lose hope.
- Elena Gilbert: [sighs, shakes her head] Who gave you that horrible advice?
- Stefan Salvatore: Just someone I used to date.
- [chuckles]
- Elena Gilbert: [tearfully] I don't have anyone anymore.
- Stefan Salvatore: You have me.
- [they hug]
