Quotes 

• Elijah Mikaelson : Mystic Falls? I take it you have a plan!

  Klaus Mikaelson : I do. While I execute it, I need you to look after her. To - to make sure she doesn't exert herself.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Wouldn't it be best for you to find someone that Hope despises a little less than me? Perhaps, quite literally, anyone else she's ever met.

  Klaus Mikaelson : How Hope feels about you, is of no consequence! I have until the crest of the full moon to save her life! We defied the inevitable for a dozen lifetimes and I'm not about to surrender to it now! Please, Elijah... you're the only one I trust.

• Elijah Mikaelson : [Hope's driving the Bentley]  That would be a stop sign approaching. It's a stop sign.

  Hope Mikaelson : Okay, okay. No need to panic attack about it. I cannot kill you, and I'm dying already, so...

  Elijah Mikaelson : Is it absolutely necessary to destroy this work of art in the process?

  Hope Mikaelson : Hmm.

  [Elijah sighs] 

  Hope Mikaelson : I know what you're doing, you know. With the milkshakes and... the driving lessons. Life's little pleasures, whatever. I'm not like... suicidal, if that's what you're worried about, you know. That's not what I meant when I said that dying might be for the best.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Well, you certainly don't seem to have any interest in your survival.

  Hope Mikaelson : I don't wanna die. I don't think I was supposed to exist in the first place. When I think about all the crazy things that led to me being born. Dad lives a thousand years, does weird rituals, becomes the only vampire who can procreate. Mom moves from foster home to foster home and end up in Mystic Falls. When Dad got sad and drunk...

  Elijah Mikaelson : Okay...

  Hope Mikaelson : ...after a one-nighter with Mom...

  Elijah Mikaelson : ...we don't have to...

  Hope Mikaelson : ...which was basically hate-banging him...

  Elijah Mikaelson : Honestly...

  Hope Mikaelson : Bang! Loophole!

  Elijah Mikaelson : Yes...

  Hope Mikaelson : Miracle baby! But can you be a miracle and a mistake at the same time?

  Elijah Mikaelson : No one is a mistake, Hope. This family fought tooth and nail from the moment we learned of your existence.

  Hope Mikaelson : I know. But the universe has been trying to kill me since before I was born to reset the balance of nature. And I'm grateful that you guys have fought so hard... but I knew when I took the power back that I would die. It was my decision.

  Elijah Mikaelson : [sighs]  Turn right here.

• Elijah Mikaelson : [to Hope]  You know something? When you were born, I declared that... you would be the savior of this family. It wasn't fair. We shouldn't have been your burden to bear.

  Hope Mikaelson : How old were you when you promised to protect my father? Much older than me?

• Marcel Gerard : Look, I love that kid. It's because I love her that I'm telling you this. There is no miracle fix here. Now, she might have had a little more time, but she's about to experience her first full moon since she triggered her curse. Every witch that we consulted is sure that she won't survive the night.

  Elijah Mikaelson : We spoke with Freya. She will perform a binding spell.

  Marcel Gerard : A spell that powerful... would only kill her faster. This is terminal, Elijah. Now we can't keep this a secret from her any longer. She needs to have the chance to say goodbye. We both know who needs to tell her.

  Elijah Mikaelson : He won't accept it.

  Marcel Gerard : Make him. She's dying, Elijah!

• Hope Mikaelson : The diaries of Stefan Salvatore. I know I'm not supposed to touch it, but I practically have the whole thing memorized. Spoiler alert: Dad's the villain, and you're the evil henchman.

  Elijah Mikaelson : From a very biased point of view.
