Vampire Diaries Script

MAN: 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.

[A man and a girl in a car, on the road.]

MAN: An hour's drive to hear that crap. You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar. An hour each way.

GIRL: He wasn't that bad.

MAN: He sounded like James Blunt.

GIRL: What's wrong with that?

MAN: We already have a James Blunt. One's all we need.

GIRL: So why did you come?

MAN: Because I love you.

GIRL: Nicely done. What's with all the fog?

MAN: It'll clear in a second.

GIRL: Watch out!

[They collide a man.]

MAN: Are you ok?!

GIRL: We just hit someone! Oh, my god!

MAN: Call for help.

GIRL: Come on, come on!

MAN: Please be alive! Oh, my god.

[The man wakes up and bites him into the neck.]

GIRL: There's no signal! Darren! Darren?

[New scene. Morning. A Man.]

STEFAN: I shouldn't have come home. I know the risk. But I had no choice. I have to know her.

[Other scene. A girl writes in her diarie.]

ELENA: Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile was saying "I'm fine, thank you." "Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through.

[In the kitchen.]

JENNA: Toast. I can make toast.

ELENA: It's all about the coffee, aunt Jenna.

JEREMY: Is there coffee?

JENNA: Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared. Lunch money?

ELENA: I'm good.

JENNA: Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?

ELENA: Don't you have a big presentation today?

JENNA: I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap!

ELENA: Then go. We'll be fine. You ok?

JEREMY: Don't start.

[In Bonnie's car.]

BONNIE: So grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from salem, which isn't all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands... Elena! Back in the car.

ELENA: I did it again, didn't I? I--I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that...

BONNIE: That I'm psychic now.

ELENA: Right. Ok, then predict something. About me.

BONNIE: I see...

[They collide a black bird.]

BONNIE: What was that?! Oh, my god! Elena, are you ok?

ELENA: It's ok. I'm fine.

BONNIE: It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere.

ELENA: Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life.

BONNIE: I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy.

[At the school.]

BONNIE: Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly bitch. She looks a hot-- Can I still say "tranny mess"?

ELENA: No, that's over.

BONNIE: Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year.

[They look at Matt.]

ELENA: He hates me.

BONNIE: That's not hate. That's "you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to air supply's greatest hits."

CAROLINE: Elena. Oh, my god. How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you. How is she? Is she good?

ELENA : Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you.

CAROLINE: Really?

ELENA: Yes. Much better.

CAROLINE: Oh, you poor thing.

ELENA: Ok, Caroline.

CAROLINE: Oh! Ok, see you guys later?

BONNIE: Ok! Bye.

ELENA: No comment.

BONNIE: I'm not going to say anything.

[Jeremy and Vicki.]

JEREMY: Don't take more than two in a six-Hour window.

TYLER: Hey, Vicki. I knew I'd find you here with the crackheads.

VICKI: Hey.

TYLER: Hey, Pete Wentz called. He wants his nail polish back.

JEREMY: Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?

VICKI: Oh, Ty, be nice. Be nice. That's Elena's little brother.

TYLER: I know who he is.
