They say the passage of time will heal all wounds, but the greater the loss, the deeper the cut and the more difficult the process to become whole again. The pain may fade, but scars serve as a reminder of our suffering and make the bearer all the more resolved never to be wounded again. So as time moves along we get lost in distractions, act out in frustration, react with aggression, give in to anger, and all the while we plot and plan as we wait to grow stronger, and before we know it, the time passes. We are healed. Ready to begin anew.
Klaus
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
