I'm a black man from Alabama. Believe me; I understand what humans are capable of.

Chris

Miriam: Working alone will always limit us.
Diana: I've already trusted Chris. I think it's time to trust others.

Matthew: I need your support, Marcus. And I know this won't be easy for you.
Marcus: Find a cure for blood rage. Fight to repeal The Covenant. Defy The Congregation which upholds injustice, and form a scion so that we can breathe freely without Baldwin breathing down our necks.
Matthew: And then?
Marcus: I'll forgive you for the murders, for the secrets, and I will be the first to offer my allegience.

Matthew: So. I'll be doing to New Orleans.
Diana: Mmm. I know. Forming a scion will be hard, but I think it's the only way to change things.
Matthew: Mmm. Take responsibility for everyone who has inherited my blood rage.

Orlando: Don't let Matthew know.
Gallowglass: About what?
Orlando: Your feelings for Diana. You can't hide them from me.
Gallowglass: Philippe charged me to look after her. I've spent her whole life keepin' her safe.
Orlando: Well, Diana is with Matthew now. One day, perhaps soon, Gallowglass, you will have to walk away from her.
Gallowglass: I know. But not today.

Matthew: To save Jack, I would have to disobey Baldwin, the head of my family. It's insanity. This is a war that we cannot win.
Diana: A father protects his children.

Baldwin: I drank his blood. I saw his memories. He is the blood rage killer! This is his work. The slaughter of warm bloods!
Diana: Jack, is it true? Is this you?
Baldwin: And you were protecting him. You know what has to be done.
Matthew: [gets down on one knee] Monsieur, I promise you. I had no knowledge of Jack's blood rage.
Baldwin: Brother, this could ruin our family. Kill him.
Matthew: God help me.

[looking at Jack] One of Hubbard's strays. It's family only in this house.

Baldwin

Peter: What do you think you're doing?
Satu: Peter, you killed a witch. Justice must be served.

Grief never really goes away. It gets quieter, slower, and sometimes it comes rushing back, like the sea. The de Clermonts accepted you and Emily. More than that, they embraced you. And they recognize your loss.

Orlando

Ysabeau: You believe that this is what your father imagined when he established The Congregation?
Baldwin: I believe that my father always had the best intentions.
Marcus: No one questions that, but the world has changed.
Baldwin: Indeed. There is a witch at the table who bears my father's blood vow. There was a time when that was unthinkable.
Diana: Philippe's mark is an honor. But it is also a privilege. My concern is for the creatures who are not afforded that. For them, The Covenant has outlived its usefulness.
Baldwin: Speaking against The Covenant in the house that Philippe de Clermont built is inexcusable.

Baldwin: I would like to think that there will never be a time when we could sit down together as a family.
Marcus: Even if it means our guests aren't welcome to join us at the table?
Baldwin: I'll not apologize for observing The Covenant. It has been keeping us safe for centuries.
Diana: Do you still believe that?
Baldwin: Of course, I do.
