[Damon] We should be in there.
[Alaric] No. Isobel made it clear we're not to step a foot inside.
[Damon] I'm not gonna kill her in a crowded restaurant.
[Alaric] You're not gonna kill her period.
[Damon] She ruined your life and you still want to protect her?
[Alaric] She's my wife. Was. Was my wife. I looked for the woman I married, but she wasn't there. Whoever that is, is.. cold and detached.
[Damon] Yeah. She's given up her humanity.
[Alaric] Yeah, see I don't get that. Stefan has his humanity. He's a good guy. Hell, you're a dick and you kill people, but I still see something human in you. But with her there was, there was.. nothing.
[Damon] You can turn it off. Like a button you can press. I mean, Stefan's different. He wants the whole human experience. He wants to feel every episode of How I Met Your Mother, so he shuts his feelings out. The problem is as a vampire your instinct is not to feel. Isobel chose the easier road. No guilt, no shame.. no regret. I mean, c'mon.. if you could turn it off, wouldn't you?
[Alaric] You haven't.
[Damon] Of course I have, Ric. It's why I'm so fun to be around!
