Daniel Gillies: Elijah Mikaelson

Quotes 

• Davina : You don't look so well.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Well, only this morning I had a mystical dagger embedded in my chest so I'd say I'm holding myself together quite well.

• Elijah Mikaelson : [to Davina]  You know, difficulties aside, I value my family above everything. I am sorry that yours failed you.

• Elijah Mikaelson : I've given up on giving up. It's an affliction.

• Hayley : You're back.

  Elijah Mikaelson : I'm back.

  [gets slapped, stands smarting, but intrigued] 

  Hayley : Don't make promises you can't keep. Welcome home.

• [last lines] 

  Elijah Mikaelson : [to Klaus]  Four months ago, Sophie Deveraux and her sister Jane-Anne lost everything. Now, four months after that, a young pregnant girl wanders into their restaurant. Suddenly, all hope is renewed. Jane-Anne actually sacrificed her life so that her sister could use you to find Davina. If Sophie Deveraux is successful in capturing Davina, she can return Jane-Anne's daughter back to life. We thought we'd come here to wage a war for power. This is about family. In order to return her niece to life, Sophie Deveraux will fight to the death. That makes her more dangerous than anyone.

• Elijah Mikaelson : So, enlighten me, what did you mean when you said you had to die?

  Davina : That's what the Harvest was. They said they'd put us four girls in a state of, like, peaceful limbo as part of the offering, and then later at the Reaping we'd awaken and be reborn. I never got as far as the limbo part, which means the Harvest isn't complete. That's why the witches are so freaked out. The Reaping is just around the corner, and if they don't finish it before then, it's over. All I have to do is wait it out.

  Elijah Mikaelson : And then what?

  Davina : They're punished... and I'm free.

  Elijah Mikaelson : From Marcel?

  Davina : Of magic. All our power will drain away.

  [shakes her head, smiles] 

  Davina : I'll be normal.

  Elijah Mikaelson : [smirks]  And is that what you want? To be normal?

  Davina : I just don't wanna be what I am.

  [looks down momentarily] 

  Davina : I can't control it, sometimes... the magic. I... hurt people,

  [shakes her head] 

  Davina : even when I don't mean to.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Why don't you tell me about your friends? You must miss them.

  Davina : There's Tim. He doesn't know about any of this witch stuff. He's normal. My best friend... Monique. She was a part of the Harvest too. She's lucky. No one ever fought for me, but someone fought for her. The only one who spoke out against the Harvest was Monique's aunt.

  Elijah Mikaelson : And who is that?

  Davina : Sophie Deveraux.

• Davina : You're the one they call honorable.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Yes, that's what they call me. And yet, I followed my brother here to New Orleans to engage in a war. So, I ask you, does that sound honorable to you?

• Elijah Mikaelson : Do forgive me, Marcel. But if anyone is to teach my brother a lesson, it's me.

• Elijah Mikaelson : I will fight for my family until my last breath.

  Davina : And I'll fight the witches until mine.

• Elijah Mikaelson : [after Marcel left]  You didn't reveal that I was awake.

  Davina : We aren't done talking yet.

  Elijah Mikaelson : You and Marcel seem pretty close.

  Davina : Marcel is my family.

  Elijah Mikaelson : And yet Marcel is someone who delights in harming the witches. Those people, I would think, you would consider family. This doesn't trouble you?

  Davina : No. They deserve it.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Why would you say that?

  Davina : 'Cause they're liars. All of them. They made me and my friends do this Harvest ritual. They said our participation would bring our families strength, health. We would forever be celebrated as saviors of the community.

  [shakes her head] 

  Davina : But all they really wanted was more power. So, I left before they could get it. And now they're running out of time, 'cause after the Harvest comes the Reaping. And if they don't complete the Harvest, there won't be a Reaping. Soon, all the witches in the Quarter will start to lose their powers. Eventually, they'll cease to be witches altogether.

  Elijah Mikaelson : So what does it take to complete this ritual?

  Davina : I have to die.

  [this revelation shocks Elijah]
