Marcel: Back in the day the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep.
Elijah: That's a rather large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?
Not long ago, you all united against me. You failed. Since then, in my benevolence, I have wiped the slate clean, yet it seems clear you think that I am the one who needs to earn your respect, your loyalty. You are mistaken. It is you who must prove yourselves to me. Our community is under attack. I require soldiers. I need warriors. Not cowards. Each of you has a decision to make. You either fight alongside me, or you leave. Now.
Klaus
You're a hypocrite, Elijah. You would choose love over family and then condemn me for doing the same.
Rebekah
[to Thierry] I am so sick of self-serving narcissists. Are men simply incapable of committing to an alliance?
Rebekah
Marcel: You gonna open this place today?
Cami: And risk you eating the clientele?
Marcel: And here I thought you were starting to like me again.
Marcel: How long you gonna hate me?
Rebekah: You left me in a box for 52 years. Twice that seems like a good start.
So Klaus is a dick and you want to be a good big brother so we can't hang out. Does that sum it up? I get it, Elijah, it just seems like a really crappy deal.
Hayley
Who of you will fight to defend our home? Not a single one of you will stand with me. So afraid are you of this new threat? You should know better.
Klaus
[to Klaus] You're in a good mood. You should visit Mystic Falls more often.
Marcel
I know what a promise means to you, Elijah, but you made it 200 years ago. I live in the now. If I feel something, I act. If I want something, I take it. I won't choose the dead over the living, so why are you? I'm sorry, Elijah.
Hayley
[to Hayley] Do you have any idea how rare love is?
Elijah
I'm sorry. You may think I know nothing of your grief, but you are wrong. In the days after I left this city, I thought you were dead. It was years before I could speak your name so keenly did I feel that loss. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Klaus
