What has a hold of Damon and Enzo? Well, thanks to the clues that Enzo left for Bonnie in the Vampire Diaries season 8 premiere, she seems to have figured that out. Plus, Stefan and Caroline took a step forward in their relationship, after some urging from Alaric.

Here are the best quotes from "Hello, Brother."



"We promised each other we'll find ways to steal small moments of normal every day. That's how we'll all stay sane."


"The search for Damon and Enzo goes on and on, and we're no closer to knowing where they are, or who, or what, took them. We promised each other we'll find ways to steal small moments of normal every day. That's how we'll all stay sane. But it's just you and me talking right now, and I need to tell you: it's hard. It's the hardest thing I've had to do in my whole life."
- Bonnie writing to Elena

"Only true love can make you conquer your absolute lack of skill."
Enzo: "Darling, your guitar playing would send Odysseus sailing in the other direction."
Bonnie: "I have no idea what that means, but screw you."
Enzo: "Right. Let me save you from yourself. ... Have you really never read The Odyssey?"
Bonnie: "Is that the one with Helen of Troy?"
Enzo: "Not quite."
Bonnie: "How can you love such a terrible guitar player?"
Enzo: "Because one day you'll play like a Siren. And on that day, I know you'll love me forever."
Bonnie: "Why's that?"
Enzo: "Only true love can make you conquer your absolute lack of skill."

"Just my winning sense of humor and renewed appreciation for chick lit."
Enzo: "Do you have any control left? Me, I'm down to, I don't know, about two percent."
Damon: "No free will needed. I have flipped my switch. Humanity off. I'm on full cruise control. I recommend it."
Enzo: "Oh, so you really have nothing left inside?"
Damon: "Just my winning sense of humor and renewed appreciation for chick lit."

"Don't ask me to have hope. Hope hurts. I don't want to hurt anymore."


Bonnie: "Stefan, every time we do this, I let myself hope a little. And when we end up back at zero, my heart crushes in on itself a little bit more. I don't know how much my heart has left, you know?"
Stefan: "Bonnie, no one -- not Caroline, not Elena -- no one knows how to fight longer or harder or better than you. If you give up, I won't have anything left to hold on to. Please don't give up."
Bonnie: "Of course. But don't ask me to have hope. Hope hurts. I don't want to hurt anymore."

"You're practically Indiana Jones."
Georgie: "What was that back there? I've never seen an archaeologist afraid to explore a tunnel."
Alaric: "I am not an archaeologist."
Georgie: "Come on, you're practically Indiana Jones."

"I'm pretty much closed for business."
Georgie: "Your geek brain makes you super hot. You know that?"
Alaric: "Uh, Georgie, don't think that I don't appreciate it, but I'm pretty much closed for business. You know, it's just me and my kids and no distractions."
Georgie: "Dad you."
Alaric: "Yeah, yeah. Exactly."
Georgie: "Well, that's a shame. I had to try. Sexy dark tunnel, magical room, et cetera."


"Hello, brother."
- Damon to Stefan

"Surrounded by death. It's who we are, brother. It's who we've been for 160-something years."
Damon: "Go home, Stefan. We're all good here."
Stefan: "In a slaughterhouse?"
Damon: "Surrounded by death. It's who we are, brother. It's who we've been for 160-something years."


"Walk out of here with your hero hair intact."
Damon: "You need to go. It doesn't want you yet. Walk out of here with your hero hair intact, and never come back."
Stefan: "Not without you."

"I ripped the switch off the wall. There is no switch, Stefan, because there is no hope."


Stefan: "Don't do anything you might regret. Think about Elena."
Damon: "I'm trying to explain to you, Stefan, Elena doesn't matter to me anymore."
Stefan: "Why? Because you flipped your switch?"
Damon: "I ripped the switch off the wall. There is no switch, Stefan, because there is no hope. Every drop of blood I ever spilled, every body I've ever drained, every bad decision I've ever made sealed my fate. My path and Elena's path, they're not the same. Her great beyond is a decidedly happier one than mine."

"We can't escape this life, Care. So shouldn't we make sure we're at least living it right?"
Alaric: "I want to move in here."
Caroline: "Ric, I want us to be a family and a team, yes, but we can't live together."
Alaric: "Okay, I didn't say I thought you should stay."
Caroline: "That's crazy. This is my childhood home! Where am I supposed to go?"
Alaric: "You know exactly where you should go. And you've wanted to be there for months now, but out of respect for my feelings, you haven't done it yet. Caroline, I want you to be happy. Okay, I want our girls to be happy.  And one of these days, I plan on being happy too. Look, we can't escape this life, Care. So shouldn't we make sure we're at least living it right?"

"You told me there was hope. Now, just take a minute, pull yourself together and go find yours."
Bonnie: "Not 12 hours ago, you were telling me to have hope. You were right."
Stefan: "He said it was my fault. He's said it before, so I don't know why it hurt so much. This time, it feels like he may never forgive me. Maybe you were right, this morning."
Bonnie: "No, you were right. You told me there was hope. Now, just take a minute, pull yourself together and go find yours."

"When it comes to you, love, I would never stop fighting. I would brave the oceans and sail past the Sirens to find my way back to you."


Enzo: "More importantly, this book is one of the greatest love stories of all time."
Bonnie: "You're an incurable romantic, aren't you?"
Enzo: "When it comes to you, love, I would never stop fighting. I would brave the oceans and sail past the Sirens to find my way back to you."

"You should know that there is no such thing as redemption."
Damon: "You should know that there is no such thing as redemption. Because it only takes one bad day, one bad decision, and then it doesn't matter what you do with the rest of your life, because once the devil comes a-calling, you're done. Amazing use of red, by the way."
Enzo: "Not every victim needs a monologue."
Damon: "Well, we don't know that he's our guy yet. It might be a misunderstanding."
- With their latest victim

"If you care for nothing, it can see nothing."
"It can get in your head. And if it knows what you care about or who you're trying to get back to, well, you know what can happen. You may want to consider flipping your switch because if you care for nothing, it can see nothing."
- Damon's advice for Enzo
