Goodbye, Marcel Gerard. Do try to stay alive.

Rebekah

Your brothers came to town like they own the place, like they own me. They took my home, my people, everything. I can't just run away.

Marcel

[to Elijah] Nicely done, brother. You're beginning to sound like me. I'm impressed.

Klaus

Klaus: What is it you want, Rebekah?
Rebekah: The same things I've wanted since I was a child. I want a home. I want a family. I want someone to love me, and I want to live.

Rebekah: I know you hate me, but what's done is done.
Klaus: What's done is never done. It remains within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are. A vicious father, a bastard son, and the sister who betrayed him. Perhaps it's time for a new story.

You said our father ruined us, and I can't help but wonder, what if his father ruined him?

Klaus

Centuries later, each of us is broken. You with your anger and paranoia. Me with my fear of abandonment. And poor Elijah. He dedicates himself to everyone but himself. We are the strongest creatures in the world and yet we are damaged beyond repair. We live without hope, but we will never die. We are the definition of "cursed," always and forever.

Rebekah

Klaus: I love my family. You, Elijah. I loved all of you. I know I can be difficult, but I did not make myself this way. It was Mikael who ruined me.
Rebekah: He ruined me, too. That's what you forget.

Rebekah: You're insane.
Klaus: YES. YES. I am a vicious, heartless monster...

You look at me and you see everything you abhor in yourself. Sure, you dress it up with your fancy suits and your handkerchiefs. You with your mask of civility and eloquence, you're every bit the abomination I am. Or worse.

Klaus

[to Marcel] You know, I never much thought about dying. One of the perks of being immortal I guess. What an odd thing it is to be here one minute and gone the next. Rather terrifying.

Rebekah

[to Davina] No one can control you unless you let them.

The Originals Season 1 Episode 16 Quotes

Elijah: Niklaus, I understand your anger, but I implore you, be better than him. Do what he could not. Demonstrate the grace of mercy rather than this petty cruelty.
Klaus: You ask me to show mercy to one who has wronged me? You really don't know me at all, do you, brother?

Klaus: How long do you think you can defend her?
Elijah: As long as it takes, and by whatever means necessary.
