- Elijah Mikaelson: We are bound forever to those with whom we share our blood. Though we do not choose our family, that bond is our greatest strength.
- Klaus Mikaelson: Hope, please! Scream, yell, break something if you have to. Just don't... look at me like that.
- Hope Mikaelson: This isn't right.
- Klaus Mikaelson: A father protecting his daughter, I'd say that's exactly right.
- Hope Mikaelson: Elijah was willing to take the curse completely.
- Klaus Mikaelson: And what kind of father allows another man to die for his child?
- Hope Mikaelson: [yells] The kind that loves her!
- Klaus Mikaelson: I love you!
- [she frowns]
- Klaus Mikaelson: I love you.
- [sighs]
- Klaus Mikaelson: It's the way of the world. Children bury their parents every day, every hour. It's a truth this family has avoided at a cost!
- Hope Mikaelson: [tearfully] Yeah, well, I just got you back!
- [sobs]
- Hope Mikaelson: So why does it have to be today?
- Klaus Mikaelson: [comes nearer] I've not lived an honorable life. You know that. But doing this... taking the darkness into myself so no one else is afflicted by it... that is an honorable death, and I can do that, I can do it, Hope. Because you've helped me feel something that I never thought was possible. Unconditional love.
- [much tears]
- Klaus Mikaelson: You're my daughter. My heir. You're my heart.
- [hugs her close]
- Hope Mikaelson: I wanna go with you.
- Klaus Mikaelson: I don't think that's a good idea.
- Hope Mikaelson: I'm gonna make you proud. I'm not saying I won't go through a period where I get irresponsible tattoos and... date older men... but I'm going back to school... and I'll be okay...
- [sighs]
- Hope Mikaelson: because I'm a Mikaelson. And I promise you... I'm gonna do right by our name.
- Klaus Mikaelson: I know you will.
- [his hand goes to her shoulder]
- Klaus Mikaelson: I love you.
- [she sobs]
- Klaus Mikaelson: More than all the days and nights... Deeper than the oceans and the skies.
- Hope Mikaelson: [tearfully] I love you too.
- [they're going to kiss farewell now]
- Hope Mikaelson: How do we do this?
- Klaus Mikaelson: I wish I knew.
- Hope Mikaelson: [as Klaus is about to stake his own heart] Dad! What's going on here?
- Klaus Mikaelson: [yelling at Elijah] Get her out of the way!
- Elijah Mikaelson: [to Klaus] Your death is not the answer.
- Hope Mikaelson: Death? What are you talking about?
- Freya Mikaelson: I need you to hear me on this, Hope. There's not enough magic in the world to slow this down.
- Kol Mikaelson: [she had stood in the middle of the road] You're lucky I didn't turn you into the world's blondest roadkill.
- Rebekah Mikaelson: And you're lucky I didn't crush your car like a toy, you selfish prat!
- Klaus Mikaelson: Would you even be here... if I had longer to live?
- Caroline Forbes: Maybe I'd let you chase me around for a few more centuries. That was always the fun part, anyway.
- [chuckles]
- Caroline Forbes: Say goodbye to your daughter, Klaus. Give her real closure.
- Klaus Mikaelson: Closure is a myth.
- [sips drink]
- Caroline Forbes: Look, what you're doing is noble. But if you don't say goodbye, if... if you leave Hope with questions, and pain and anger, you"ll haunt her. And I don't think that's your endgame.
- Klaus Mikaelson: I don't know how to say goodbye.
- Caroline Forbes: Try this. One of you stand, then walks to the door, and doesn't turn back. Even if their heart aches for just... one more look for one moment. But you'll know that the not looking... . means... "I'll never forget you."
- Kol Mikaelson: Just when I thought that he was showing the vaguest signs of maturity... our brother makes a unilateral decision that leaves the rest of us stewing in his melodrama.
- Rebekah Mikaelson: His death is not a melodrama.
- Elijah Mikaelson: He's spiraling. His energy feeds on anger. And our brother, as we all know, has enough to set the world on fire.
- Elijah Mikaelson: How many times are we going to play this game? When calamity and doom approaches our brother, a trapdoor opens, and poof! he escapes. He's a cockroach that will outlive us all And we're immortal.
- Rebekah Mikaelson: What if it's different this time?
