Quotes 

• Klaus Mikaelson : [calmly, compelling Cami]  I will find out what happened, and when I do, I will make sure whoever harmed your brother will suffer. And as for you, tonight, you will sleep, and you will dream of a world far better than this one. A world where there is no evil, no demons, and all people desire only to be good.

• Camille O'Connell : I know what you are. It's crazy to me but at least it makes sense. But this... massacre.

  [about her brother] 

  Camille O'Connell : It's just a pointless, brutal thing. In your life, have you ever heard of anything like that? A good man, an aspiring priest, just goes on a killing spree out of nowhere.

  Klaus Mikaelson : I've seen quite a lot in my time. The world is a rather awful place. Best to meet it on it's own terms.

  Camille O'Connell : No. The word isn't awful. People are not awful. They want to be good. Something makes them bad, makes them snap. There are always signs. Symptoms before someone has a psychotic break.

• Camille O'Connell : No offense, but I'm not sure I follow why you've invited me here.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Because I enjoy your company and I sense you have the capacity for understanding someone of my... complexity. You see, I returned to New Orleans to investigate a threat posed against me. What I found was a young woman, pregnant, in need of protection. My brother, always the do-gooder, tried to manipulate me into helping her. He thought it might redeem me.

  Camille O'Connell : [analyzing him]  I don't believe in evil as a diagnosis. I think you have unstable personal relationships, stress-related paranoia, chronic anger issues, and fear of abandonment. I think you could benefit from talking to someone professionally.

  Klaus Mikaelson : I think I prefer to talk to you. So, I'm going to offer you a job as my stenographer.

  Camille O'Connell : Okay. What am I writing?

  Klaus Mikaelson : My memoirs, of course. Someone should know my story. And it will give us time to discuss other riveting subjects, like your handsome suitor: Marcel.

  Camille O'Connell : [affronted]  Excuse me? My private life is...

  Klaus Mikaelson : Your private life is, as it turns out, essential to my plans. You see, Marcel wants you. and because of that, he will trust you, which serves me. The thing is the French Quarter is on the verge of war. On the one side there's me and on the other, Marcel; along with a very powerful witch and an army of vampires.

  Camille O'Connell : [suddenly scared]  What?

  Klaus Mikaelson : [compelling her]  You're frightened... Don't be.

  Camille O'Connell : [calmly]  I'm not cared anymore. That's amazing. How did you?

  Klaus Mikaelson : It's called compulsion. It's a neat bit of vampire trickery. I'll tell you all about it. But first, let's talk a little more about Marcel.

• Klaus Mikaelson : [to Davina]  One of the tragic consequences of war... innocent bystanders.

• Rebekah Mikaelson : [as Dr. Paige lies dead, Klaus appears, looking for Hayley]  Wow, you abandoned your quest for power to help out your family.

  [scowls at him:] 

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Having an off day?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Who took her, Rebekah?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I don't know.

  Klaus Mikaelson : What do you mean, you don't know? Then who killed her attackers?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I don't know. I had an arrow in my heart. If it wasn't Hayley who helped them, then...

  [howls of wolves in distance] 

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Lovely. Perhaps her cousins will know where she is.

• Klaus Mikaelson : Hayley, what happened? Tell me what happened.

  Hayley Marshall : [dazedly]  I can't remember.

  Klaus Mikaelson : You've completely healed. There's not a scratch on you.

  Hayley Marshall : One of the perks of being a werewolf, remember?

  Klaus Mikaelson : No.

  [shakes his head] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Not that fast.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Leave her alone. The baby... The vampire blood, Klaus' blood in your system... It can heal any wound. Your own child healed you. How did you escape? You were outnumbered, umarmed. Those men were ripped to shreds.

  Hayley Marshall : I think it was the wolf. I think it's trying to protect me.

  Klaus Mikaelson : The witches were supposed to protect you. When I get my hands on Sophie Deveraux...

  Hayley Marshall : It wasn't Sophie. It was Agnes.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Fine. Agnes, Sophie, it's all the same to me. I'll slaughter the lot of 'em.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Not if Elijah gets there first.

  Hayley Marshall : Elijah? Did you find him?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : He's been in touch, and he has a plan. All he asked is that we take care of you.
