Wednesdays 9:00 PM on The CWThe Originals Season 1 Episode 8: "The River in Reverse" Quotes
I bowed down to you, brother, to make up for daggering you for the greater good of our plan to reclaim our home. I looked the other way, sister, while you repeat the same cycle with Marcel, falling again for a man you shouldn't be with while he controls the empire that we buit, that he took. Now I make no excuses for past sins, but in the one momeny when you two could have chosen to stand by me, to believe in me, to believe that my intentions for my own child were pure, you turned against me to side with my enemies. I wanted our home back, and now I have it. So I'm going to live there and the two of you can stay here together and rot.
Klaus
Elijah: This has nothing to do with Hayley.
Klaus: It has everything to do with her! She's adored you since she arrived and now my child, my blood, will grow up to call you father.
Rebekah: Is that what this is? You are once again worried that you will be left behind? Has history taught you nothing? We don't abandon you, Nik. You drive us away.
Hayley: Why are you trying to put together your family when it's so clear that one part of it is broken?
Elijah: The definition of the word broken suggests that something can be fixed.
You want all this, fine. It's yours. You can put me back out on the streets for all I care. But let's make one thing clear. You will never have this. Loyalty. You can't buy it. You can't own it. You can't force it. It comes only out of love and respect for the people who believe in you. You taught me many things, Niklaus Mikaelson, but this I learned myself, and it is something that you will never know. Enjoy your kingdom.
Marcel
[to Klaus] I hereby pledge my allegiance to you. You have the keys to my kingdom. It's yours.
Marcel
[to Elijah] So you're having weird, retro sex dreams. Get over it. I'm staying.
Hayley
Yes, it is ironic discussing free will with a mind-controlling vampire.
Father Kieran
[to Klaus] You are the architect of your own unhappiness.
Cami
[to Klaus] Rebekah's out to get you. Elijah's out to get you. Is there anyone who isn't plotting your downfall? I doubt you trust your own reflection.
Cami
That is enough talk about harming that baby!
Hayley: Remind me to annihilate your brother once you're healthy.
Elijah: Yes, remind me to remind you to get in line.
Rebekah: Perhaps I'm concerned that if I voice my opinion about what you did to Elijah, I will end up on the wrong side of your toxic hybrid teeth.
Klaus: Poppycock! I would never bite you...you know my preferred method of punishment for your indiscretions is the dagger.
Rebekah: There is something fundamentally wrong with you.
