It turns out my brother is even more depraved than I am. He is the noble stag no longer, indeed an altogether different beast is crepeing through the cracks. And you have also altogether failed in your representation of me because there is one thing you never thought me capable of. Forgiveness. You, Finn, have remained a boar for centuries but here is where your true fault lies. You nrver learned that the bonds of family far outweigh anything else. Such bonds trump petty jealousies, they overcome great feuds, and yes, they even allow one monster to pardon the great sins of another.
[to Marcel] Family are not just people who coddle you, who grant you your every whim. They are people who fight for you, who you fight for.
It has been said that all love begins and ends with she who gave us life. A thousand years ago my mother turned us into monsters yet still she claimed to love her children even as she vowed to destroy us. The noble Elijah, tormented by long buried, shameful secrets. Kol, the wily troublemaker, out for no one but himself. Finn, the devoted acolyte, his love all too easily warped by our mother's sick hate. Fierce Rebekah, willing to risk everyhing on the chance that she might one day find happiness. And me, the bastard child, my mother's greatest shame. Now finally we have defeated her, giving her the choice she never thought to give us, to live on as one of the monsters she created, or suffer the slow, agonizing death she so deserves.
Rebekah: I wish it could always be like this.
Elijah: If wishes were horses...
Klaus: Beggars would ride.
[to Hayley] I wish you would tell Elijah you are marrying your werewolf suitor so I could congratulate him on the bullet he dodged.
Klaus: You do realize it is not I who is to be the husband you can boss around.
Hayley: You do realize I had to endure a horrendous labor and actual death birthing the child that you are holding.
Kol: And where, pray tell, is he now?
Klaus: He's waiting uncomfortably for me to return and deliver his punishment. Pass the beignets, would you?
Klaus: What did she do to me?
Davina: All you need to know is that I beat you. Again.
[to Kol and Finn] I'd prefer you both to join me against our mother, but I'll happily settle for one or the other. Either way, if you continue to defy me, your lives will be reduced to an unending sequence of agonizing torture. So, which is it to be?
We arrive into this world as innocents. Wide eyed and vulnerable. It is the job of our parents to nurture and protect us.
We were innocent once, Elijah. This bloodlust was forced upon us by our parents, turning us from prey to predator. We are the demons lurking in shadow. We are the savage villains in fairy tales told to children. But not for my child. Not for Hope. In her story, we are the knights in shining armor. Without you by my side, I don't think I can survive my own love for my daughter. I need you. I need you, brother. The monster in me can only be checked by the monster in you. Only together can we defeat our demons and save our family.
Klaus: Stay here with your wolves and mind the fort.
Hayley: I'd rather rip your mother's head off.
