SEASON 1/ Episode 1

STEFAN: For over a century, I have lived in secret; hiding in the shadows, alone in the world. Until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story. I shouldn't have come home. I know the risk. But I had no choice. I have to know her.

ELENA: Ahh!
STEFAN: You ok?
ELENA: Were you following me?
STEFAN: No, I, uh, I just — I saw you fall.
ELENA: Uh-huh, and you just happenedto be hanging out in a cemetery.
STEFAN: I'm visiting. I have family here.
ELENA: Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, it's making me foggy. And then back there, there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock? I'm Elena.
STEFAN: I'm Stefan.
ELENA: I know. We have History together.
STEFAN: And English and French.ELENA: Right.
ELENA: Thanks. Nice ring.
STEFAN: Oh. Um, it's a family ring, yeah. I'm kind a stuck with it. It's weird, huh?
ELENA: No, no. It's just, I mean, there are rings and then there's that.
STEFAN: Did you hurt yourself?
ELENA: Hmm?
STEFAN: Did you hurt yourself?
ELENA: Oh, uh, I don't know.
ELENA: Oh! Would you look at that? That is not pretty.
ELENA: Are you ok?
STEFAN: You shouldgo. Take care of that.
ELENA: Really, it's nothing.

ZACH: You promised.
STEFAN: This was an animal attack.
ZACH: Don't give me that. I know the game. You tear them up enough; they always suspect an animal attack. You said you had it under control.
STEFAN: And I do.
ZACH: Please, Uncle Stefan. Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who stillremember. And you being here, it's just going to stir things up.
STEFAN: It's not my intention.
ZACH: Then what is? Why did you come back? After all this time, why now?
STEFAN: I don't have to explain myself.
ZACH: I know that you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore.
STEFAN: Where do I belong?
ZACH: I can't tell you what to do. But coming back here was a mistake.ELENA: You know, you're kind of the talk of the town.
STEFAN: Am I?
ELENA: Mm-Hmm. Mysterious new guy, oh, yeah.
STEFAN: Well, you have the mysterious thing going, too. Twanged in sadness.
ELENA: What makes you think that I'm sad?
STEFAN: Well, we did meet in a graveyard.
ELENA: Right. Well, no, technically we met in the men's room. You don't want to know, it's… it's not exactly partychit-chat.
STEFAN: Well, I've never really been very good at, uh, chit-chat.
ELENA: Last spring… my parents' car drove off of a bridge into the lake. And I was in the backseat and I survived, but… they didn't. So that's my story.
STEFAN: You won't be sad forever, Elena.

STEFAN: I like Bonnie; she seems like a good friend.
ELENA: Best friend in the world.
STEFAN: And Matt, he can't seem to, uh,take his eyes off of us.
ELENA: Matt's that friend since childhood that you start dating because you owe it to yourselves to see if you can be more.
STEFAN: And?
ELENA: And then my parents died, and everything changes. Anyway, Matt and I, together we just, I don't know, it wasn't, um… it wasn't. . .
STEFAN: Passionate?
ELENA: No. No, it wasn't passionate. . .
ELENA: Hey, um, are you ok? Um,your eye, it just, it's--
STEFAN: Oh, um... Yeah, no. It's, um, it's nothing. Um, are you thirsty? I'm gonna get us a drink.

ZACH: What's going on?
STEFAN: Someone else was attacked tonight, Zach, and it wasn't me.
STEFAN: Damon.
DAMON: Hello, brother.
STEFAN: Crow's a bit much, don't you think?
DAMON: Wait till you see what I can do with the fog.
STEFAN: When'd you get here?
DAMON:Well, I couldn't miss your first day at school. Your hair's different. I like it.
STEFAN: It's been 15 years, Damon.
DAMON: Thank God. I couldn't take another day of the nineties. That horrible grunge look? Did not suit you? Remember, Stefan, it's important to stay away from fads.
STEFAN: Why are you here?
DAMON: I miss my little brother.
STEFAN: You hate small towns. It's boring. There's...
