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.

• Klaus Mikaelson : [Hayley is pouring through the content of the boxes, engrossed by old baby album]  Are you hosting a yard sale?

  Hayley Marshall : I just figured while we're stuck here, I may as well work out which stuff to keep and which to donate.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Listen, I found Hope... exploring the rubbish in the attic. She's restless.

  Hayley Marshall : [shakes her head]  She's not restless. She's bored. Most kids her age would be at school. They'd have friends to play with.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Once Freya teaches her to hone her magic, she'll be powerful beyond measure. She won't need friends. She'll be *worshipped.*

  Hayley Marshall : She doesn't wanna be worshipped. She just wants someone to hold the other end of the jump rope.

  Klaus Mikaelson : She'll be above such things. She will have power enough to protect herself from anything. We won't have to trap her in bloody boundary spells...

  [reaches out with his hand towards the window] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : just to keep her safe.

  Hayley Marshall : Thank you... by the way. I know it's not in your nature to keep violence out of this house.

  Klaus Mikaelson : We'll protect her innocence for as long as we can. You and I both know the importance of that.

  [shakes his head] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : No one protected ours.

  Hayley Marshall : [chuckles]  Well, while you're here, you may as well help me go through this stuff. You might find something

  [with lilt in her voice:] 

  Hayley Marshall : useful.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Oh, look at that.

  [picks up book, kids around:] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : How To Defeat The Hollow, Volume 1.

  [gasps] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Hidden in here amongst these old Guns N' Roses records.

  [Hayley smiles happily] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Oh, sweet child of mine!
