- Quotes
Damon Salvatore: This is even more pitiful than I thought.
Elena Gilbert: There's still hope.
Damon Salvatore: I've made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die.
Elena Gilbert: [Elena moves to lay by Damon and hold his hand] No. You don't.
Damon Salvatore: I do, Elena. It's ok. 'Cause if I'd have chosen differently, I wouldn't have met you. I'm so sorry. I've done so many things to hurt you.
Elena Gilbert: It's ok. I forgive you.
Damon Salvatore: I know you love Stefan. And it will always be Stefan.
[Elena lays down on Damon]
Damon Salvatore: But I love you. You should know that.
Elena Gilbert: [Crying] I do.
Damon Salvatore: You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me.
Elena Gilbert: I like you now. Just the way you are.
[She leans in and kisses Damon on the lips]
Damon Salvatore: Thank you.
Elena Gilbert: You're welcome.

"As I Lay Dying" is a great conclusion of the Second Season. The twist with Stefan's behavior may be highly interesting and change the fates of Elena and other characters. Jeremy's vision seeing dead people is also promising. Klaus bringing Elijah close to his family was predictable. My vote is nine.
