The Vampire Diaries2009

Stefan Salvatore:
During the Dark Ages, when a vampire's actions threatened to expose or bring harm upon the entire race, he would face judgement. They sought to reeducate them rather than to punish them.

Damon Salvatore:
You know what will happen if I don't feed on blood.

Stefan Salvatore:
You'll grow weaker and weaker, and eventually you won't be able to move or speak. In a week, your skin will desiccate, and you'll mummify. A living corpse, unable to hurt anyone... ever.

Damon Salvatore:
So what, you just going to just leave me in the basement... forever?

Stefan Salvatore:
I've injected you with enough vervain to keep you weak. Once your circulation stops, I'll move you to the family crypt, and in a 150 years we can reevaluate.
