Quotes 

• Hope : [reading from old book]  "A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds. And when the weeds begin to crawl, it's like a bird upon the wall. And when the bird away does fly, it's like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky begins to roar, it's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack, it's like a stick across your back. And when your back begins to smart, it's like a knife inside your heart. And when your heart begins to bleed, you're dead and dead and dead indeed."

  Klaus Mikaelson : Not exactly the most uplifting reading material.

  Hope : [exhales]  It's an old book of rhymes. There's a lot of weird stuff here.

  Klaus Mikaelson : You know, Hope, I'd rather you didn't play here actually. All the splinters and the dust.

  [clearly not putting her off, so:] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : And the bats.

  Hope : There aren't any bats.

  Klaus Mikaelson : I've seen no evidence that your Uncle Elijah doesn't sleep here hanging upside down.

  Hope : [chuckles]  Dad, was there a little boy who used to live here?

  Klaus Mikaelson : [takes the book from her little hands, closes it]  Come along, sweetheart. We can discuss ancient history another time.

• Hope : [came down to visit Marcel in the cell]  Hi. I think this is yours.

  [holds out old carved figurine] 

  Marcel Gerard : Hope.

  [she tosses him the figurine, he catches it] 

  Marcel Gerard : I haven't seen this in a century.

  Hope : So... you're the little boy who used to live in my house.

  Marcel Gerard : Once upon a time, I lived here with your Dad.

  Hope : He keeps you down here because he thinks you want to kill him. Do you?

  Marcel Gerard : Listen... I will tell you anything you wanna know, okay? If you get me some blood from your Dad's stash.

  Hope : I'm seven, not stupid.

  Marcel Gerard : [chuckles]  Right. And you're also pretty courageous. Come down here and talk to a stranger.

  Hope : I'm not scared.

  [proudly:] 

  Hope : I'm a Mikaelson witch.

  Marcel Gerard : I'll tell you what. Let's start fresh, all right? It's very good to see you again, Hope Mikaelson. My name's Marcel.

  [she smiles at him] 

• Marcel Gerard : You know, I'm surprised your parents don't storm down here looking for you.

  Hope : My Mom trusts me.

  Marcel Gerard : Yeah. But your Dad's never trusted anyone in his life.

  Hope : If he took care of you when you were little, why do you hate him? What did he do to you?

  Marcel Gerard : [sighs]  Your Dad, he raised me. He made me who I am. Now, you ask if I hate him, well.. It's hard to hate the person who made you what you are. You just end up hating yourself. The truth is, I would like to hate your Dad, I really would. It would make things a lot easier. But, uh...

  [inhales deeply] 

  Marcel Gerard : You can't hate someone who you loved for so long.

  [Hope listens attentively]
