Hayley Marshall
- Hayley: Elijah, there's something that I need to tell you. My family wanted me... I was supposed to be betrothed to Jackson. I wanted to tell you sooner, I just didn't know how. It's this insane custom...
- Elijah Mikaelson: No you don't need to explain. I understand the need to make sacrifices for one's family.
- Hayley: Oh come on, Elijah. For once in your immortal life, can you just not be so noble?
- Elijah Mikaelson: What would you have me do?
- Hayley: I just told you that I'm betrothed according to some back-water arrangement by people that I never knew. Tell me that you think that betrothals are stupid. Tell me that I have a choice...
- Elijah Mikaelson: [kisses Hayley] You will always have a choice.
- Hayley Marshall: I hate this. I feel completely useless.
- Genevieve: Don't you get it? You're the point of all this. Klaus and Elijah running all over town.
- [sighs]
- Genevieve: It's all for you. I'm a bit envious.
- Hayley Marshall: [unenthusiastic] Great. Lucky me.
- Jackson Kenner: [Hayley tended his wounds] Thank you.
- Hayley Marshall: Don't thank me. It was Elijah who vamped your ass to safety.
- Jackson Kenner: Yeah.
- [grunts]
- Jackson Kenner: He really seems to care about you.
- Hayley Marshall: [smiles, almost blushes] It's complicated.
- Jackson Kenner: And that's the understatement of the year. Look, I gotta go. Get back to the bayou before the moon rises.
- Hayley Marshall: [as he heads out] Jackson, this will be the last time. After tonight, you'll never have to turn again. No more pain, no more hiding in the bayou, I promise.
- [nods]
- Jackson Kenner: You know Klaus isn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart. He's doing it for you... Hayley. You're the one that's gonna change everything for us.
- [she smiles, he encounters Elijah on his way out]
- Jackson Kenner: It seems that I owe you yet again.
- [out the door]
- Elijah Mikaelson: [after Jackson has left] I understand he risked his life to save his friend. He's a good man.
- Hayley Marshall: Yes, he is. Elijah, there's something that I need to tell you. My family wanted me... I was supposed to be betrothed to Jackson. I wanted to tell you sooner. I... I just didn't know how,
- [shakes her head]
- Hayley Marshall: it's this insane custom...
- Elijah Mikaelson: No, you don't need to explain it. I understand the need to make sacrifices for one's family.
- Hayley Marshall: [shakes her head] Come on, Elijah, for once in your immortal life, can you just not be so noble?
- Elijah Mikaelson: What would you have me do?
- Hayley Marshall: I just told you that I'm betrothed according to some backwater arrangement by people that I never knew. Tell me that you think betrothals are stupid. Tell me that I have a choice...
- [his sudden kiss silences her, she returns it passionately]
- Elijah Mikaelson: [as she looks up at him] You always have a choice.
