- 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.
- Hayley Marshall: [Hope's pseudo-death experience] What happened? Why are you here?
- Hope Mikaelson: I was sick. Mom, there's so much I have to tell you.
- Hayley Marshall: No, you shouldn't be here. Hope, it's not your time yet.
- Hope Mikaelson: It's okay. I wanna be here. I wanna be here with you.
- Hayley Marshall: No! You have to go back. I need you to fight this. Hope, wake up!
- Klaus Mikaelson: [in real life, kneeling over his unconscious daughter] Get Caroline! Tell her to bring her girls. *Go!*
- [as Elijah dashes off, urging Hope:]
- Klaus Mikaelson: Please come back to me. *Hope! Hope!*
- Hayley Marshall: [breathing heavily] You... you have to go back to your Dad. Hope!
- Hope Mikaelson: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that everything happened, and I can't forgive myself.
- Hayley Marshall: Well, too bad, because I forgive you. *I forgive you, Hope.* And I know that you're scared, and I know that you're sad, and that's okay. What happened this year was about hatred and ugliness that was born long before you and long before me. I need you to fight this. Hope, *wake up!*
- Hope Mikaelson: I wanna be here.
- [tearfully:]
- Hope Mikaelson: I don't wanna leave you here alone.
- Hayley Marshall: I'm not alone. Listen.
- [guitar music heard]
- Hayley Marshall: Come with me.
- [Hope follows, pleasant chatter heard around campfire]
- Hayley Marshall: Look.
- [laughter, chatting]
- Hayley Marshall: Jackson's here. My parents. Grandma Mary. I'm not dead because of you. I'm at peace because of you.
- Hope Mikaelson: [exhales] If I go back, am I ever gonna see you again?
- Hayley Marshall: [shakes her head] Not for a very, very long time. So you better have good stories, okay? Make art, use your voice,
- [Hope sobs]
- Hayley Marshall: have adventures, and have at least one totally epic love.
- [both chuckle through tears]
- Hayley Marshall: And be every bit of yourself, because the very best of me is in you.
- Hope Mikaelson: [through deluge of tears] I love you, Mom.
- Hayley Marshall: And I love you, too.
- [they hug]
- Hayley Marshall: Always and forever.
- Hope Mikaelson: [still crying] I don't wanna let go.
- Hayley Marshall: I need you to do something for me.
- Klaus Mikaelson: [in real life] Please, Hope, please!
- [tearfully:]
- Klaus Mikaelson: Hope, come back to me!
- Hope Mikaelson: [comes to] Dad! Dad!
- Klaus Mikaelson: You're okay, you're okay!
- [hugs her, holds her close]
- Hope Mikaelson: I don't wanna die...
- Klaus Mikaelson: I know.
- Hope Mikaelson: I don't wanna die!
- Klaus Mikaelson: I know. You're not gonna die. Sweetheart, you're not gonna die, I promise you. I found a way to save your life. And everything is gonna be better in the morning. I promise you.
- [sobs]
- Klaus Mikaelson: I promise.
- 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!
- Caroline Forbes: [starting out as voice-over] At the Salvatore School for the Young & Gifted, we are *big* on spirit. Education is our first priority, obviously.
- [explains to interested parents:]
- Caroline Forbes: We send students to the Ivy League, to Silicon Valley. Of course, if you're looking for a more *unique* course of study...
- [students are shown doing paranormal activities]
- Caroline Forbes: I assure you we are unmatched. We believe in inclusive blending of the species here. So... outside of the full moon, vampires, witches and werewolves all cohabitate peacefully.
- Klaus Mikaelson: [interrupting] Where do you keep the Hybrids? In the root cellar?
- Caroline Forbes: Excuse me. I just need... *one minute* with this very lost, new janitor.
- [Klaus smiles]
- Caroline Forbes: Come on, Bob, I'll show you the toilets.
- [Klaus frowns]
- Caroline Forbes: Seriously? You're not exactly a selling point for this place.
- Klaus Mikaelson: Only because these kids have *so* many other options.
- Caroline Forbes: I thought we made a deal about you showing up in Mystic Falls.
- Klaus Mikaelson: That was a long time ago.
- [exhales]
- Klaus Mikaelson: I need your help. Caroline, Hope is dying. She consumed the dark magic and now it's consuming *her.* She won't survive tonight's full moon.
- Caroline Forbes: She triggered her curse?
- Klaus Mikaelson: It was my fault.
- Caroline Forbes: I... I thought that the Crescent wolves could control their transformation.
- Klaus Mikaelson: No, not the first one. It's a rite of passage. Unavoidable.
- Caroline Forbes: Uh, what do you need from me?
- Klaus Mikaelson: I need... a very rare type of witch.
- [sighs]
- Klaus Mikaelson: From the Gemini coven.
- Caroline Forbes: You can't be serious.
- Klaus Mikaelson: I need your daughters... Caroline!
- 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.
- Caroline Forbes: [Klaus needs the twins to do magic to help Hope] No! No! Absolutely not! They're... they're children!
- Klaus Mikaelson: They're Siphoner witches! It's what they were born to do! Siphon magic from one thing...
- Caroline Forbes: ...and put it in another.
- [pours herself a drink]
- Caroline Forbes: So, after they siphon it from Hope, what are they supposed to do with it? You can't just shove a demon in a jar and put it on a shelf!
- [takes sip]
- Klaus Mikaelson: They'll put it in me.
- Caroline Forbes: [swallows] That's great.
- [chuckles]
- Caroline Forbes: And then you can practice mindful meditation, while we just cross our fingers and hope that you don't develop some sort of temper. Oh, wait...
- [pulls idiotic face]
- Klaus Mikaelson: Do you remember... when you and your friends threatened to chain me up, drown me in cement and drop me in the deepest ocean?
