Quotes 

• Jackson Kenner : [Hayley tended his wounds]  Thank you.

  Hayley Marshall : Don't thank me. It was Elijah who vamped your ass to safety.

  Jackson Kenner : Yeah.

  [grunts] 

  Jackson Kenner : He really seems to care about you.

  Hayley Marshall : [smiles, almost blushes]  It's complicated.

  Jackson Kenner : And that's the understatement of the year. Look, I gotta go. Get back to the bayou before the moon rises.

  Hayley Marshall : [as he heads out]  Jackson, this will be the last time. After tonight, you'll never have to turn again. No more pain, no more hiding in the bayou, I promise.

  [nods] 

  Jackson Kenner : You know Klaus isn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart. He's doing it for you... Hayley. You're the one that's gonna change everything for us.

  [she smiles, he encounters Elijah on his way out] 

  Jackson Kenner : It seems that I owe you yet again.

  [out the door] 

  Elijah Mikaelson : [after Jackson has left]  I understand he risked his life to save his friend. He's a good man.

  Hayley Marshall : Yes, he is. Elijah, there's something that I need to tell you. My family wanted me... I was supposed to be betrothed to Jackson. I wanted to tell you sooner. I... I just didn't know how,

  [shakes her head] 

  Hayley Marshall : it's this insane custom...

  Elijah Mikaelson : No, you don't need to explain it. I understand the need to make sacrifices for one's family.

  Hayley Marshall : [shakes her head]  Come on, Elijah, for once in your immortal life, can you just not be so noble?

  Elijah Mikaelson : What would you have me do?

  Hayley Marshall : I just told you that I'm betrothed according to some backwater arrangement by people that I never knew. Tell me that you think betrothals are stupid. Tell me that I have a choice...

  [his sudden kiss silences her, she returns it passionately] 

  Elijah Mikaelson : [as she looks up at him]  You always have a choice.

• Jackson : [still tied up as Klaus opens more crates]  Are you trying to kill us?
