Daniel Gillies: Elijah Mikaelson

Quotes 

• Hayley Marshall : [about Hope, to Elijah]  It's so quiet, with Klaus and Rebekah gone... So, we didn't get to say our wishes. Can I tell you mine?... It's a hope, actually... that you'll understand what I have to tell you.

  Elijah Mikaelson : And what is it?

  Hayley Marshall : My wolves. I think I figured out a way to release them from the witches. They could control their turning without the rings, and bring peace to our home so that Hope could return to us. But, there's a catch... I have to marry Jackson... It's a, um, mystical ceremony, and-and an alpha bonding ritual...? Elijah... I know that you and I haven't been close recently, but... you have to know that this isn't about him. I don't love Jackson, but... at the same time, I couldn't marry him and still be involved with you... I don't know, I should just...

  [turns to leave, but Elijah rushes after, taking her by the arm] 

  Elijah Mikaelson : Marry him.

  Hayley Marshall : What?

  Elijah Mikaelson : Listen to me. The only way that this city will be safe for Hope's return is if you have unified your people, and I have unified my own. Now, Davina will eventually lead her witches, and whatever that girl may be, she is no enemy to your child. Do what you need to bring your daughter home. This is my wish for you.

• Elijah Mikaelson : All because of fleeing from one of our deranged parents. Another Mikaelson family tradition. It's a peculiar thing. Never to be tired, yet forever exhausted by the sameness of things. Why is our family always at war?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I don't know. But being away with Hope made me see things differently. We're not so bad.

  [Hope coos] 

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Not the monsters that our parents think we are.

  [smiles at Hope] 

• Rebekah Mikaelson : No, this isn't right. We deserve this. We've earned this. I won't let it slip away. I know what to do to stop Esther.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Rebekah, no...

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I'm gonna take her deal. And when I do, I'm taking her down with me.
