Hope: "The witches, they have a message for us."

Davina: "Right now I'm the only thing standing between you and the Hollow. She only has one weakness."

Klaus: "What is it?"

Davina: "You. You're the one chance we have."

Hope: "The witches, they have a message for us."

Davina: "Right now I'm the only thing standing between you and the Hollow."

Elijah: "We're under threat."

Marcel: "And I know how you handle threats."

Davina: "You're time is up. You need to know what you're up against. She only has one weakness."

Klaus: "What is it?"

Davina: "You. You're the one chance we have."

Alaric: "You need to relax. I'm on my way to New Orleans right now and I have good news: went through the remains of the Lockwood estate and I found you one creepy ass, ancient finger bone."

Klaus: "Your efforts are appreciated now if you could only pick up the pace."

Alaric: "Easy Klaus, the only reason I'm heading your way is because I don't want you anywhere near Mystic Falls. Things tend to get murdery when you're around."

Klaus: "Well, that's a fair point. Now, Alaric, if our pleasantries have run their course."

Alaric: "Oh hey listen, one more thing. The Lockwoods, they just didn't safeguard the bone, they kept records with names, dates, and locations. Turns out, they had knowledge of other families that were charged with guarding the rest of the remains. Now, does the name Labonair mean anything to you?"

Klaus: "It's familiar, yeah."

Alaric: "Well good. It might be a lead to help you find the rest of the remains which you'll have to do yourself because my days of fighting monsters are over. Okay so here's the deal, I will be at Jack's barbecue shack, off route 59 until 2-o-clock. If you're not there by 2:10, I chuck the bone and the records in a dumpster and I'm gone and then you can fish them out of the trash yourself."

Klaus: "We'll I'm afraid I'll be otherwise occupied, so you'll be meeting Elijah and if perchance he's running late, I suggest you exercise some patience and have yourself a beer otherwise you'll have a few more monsters to worry about."

Hayley: "Hope, what's going one?"

Hope: "Mom do you hear them too?"

Klaus: "What's going on?"

Hayley: "Tell me what you heard."

Hope: "The voices, they said we were connected to this, you and me."

Klaus: "If this fossil's been whispering lies, I'll gladly throw it in the river."

Hope: "No, not the bone. The witches. The Ancestors. They have a message for us. A warning."

Hayley: "Tell me what they said."

Hope: "They want you to go to St. Anne's Church, to talk to them, they said you have to do exactly what they say and you have to do it now before the Hollow comes for us."
