The Vampire Diaries2009

Elijah:
All we need is to take that stake away from him. Once it's been disarmed, the weapon's in my possession, my family will scatter to the ends of the Earth and Alaric will follow us.

Stefan Salvatore:
And you'll just run?

Elijah:
We've done it before. Klaus and Rebekah spent the better part of a thousand years evading my father. What's another half century while Elena is able to live out the rest of her natural life?

Elena Gilbert:
[about Klaus] We've finally stopped him, Elijah. After everything that he's done to us, I can't just let you bring him back.

Elijah:
I give you my word, Elena. I will not revive Klaus within yours nor even within your children's lifetimes. Perhaps that will finally teach him some manners.

Matt Donovan:
Why should she trust you? All you've done is screw her over.

Elijah:
And for that, I am deeply ashamed. But know this, she could have been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight, so Elena, I leave it to you to make the decision whether to trust me or not.
