The Vampire Diaries, Season 1

Elena:
I'm guessing you're not here to plan the path for your future. You're looking out for me.

Stefan:
Hope that's okay. (After a little while) You know I, uh, I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened. But I couldn't, this...

Elena:
The blood?

Stefan:
Yeah. I've dabbled in a bunch of different things, though.

Elena:
Didn't love anything enough to stick to it?

Stefan:
No, I've loved it all, I just... I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't...getting any older.

Elena:
How long before that would happen?

Stefan:
Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter.

Elena:
And you always left?

Stefan:
I didn't have a choice. So! What about, what about you? What are your plans for the future?

Elena:
I don't want to talk about my future, Stefan. Because everything you're saying is making it perfectly clear that you're not going to be in it.

Stefan:
No, Elena, it's not that I don't want to be, it's...

Elena:
You can't, I get it. I heard you the first time, and the second time. And I appreciate you looking out for me, but, please, if you're gonna leave, then just go.
