Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Genevieve : [on bed, covered only with sheet]  You're up early. After the night we had, I expected you to sleep in.

  Klaus Mikaelson : [at easel, painting his model]  Yes, well, morning sun offers the best light. Hold still, I'm almost finished.

  Genevieve : In my last life, I was far too modest to pose in the nude.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well then, consider yourself much improved. Modesty is for the weak.

  Genevieve : [gets up]  Well, are you gonna show me?

  Klaus Mikaelson : The painting is a gift. A token... to... honor our pact.

  Genevieve : Our pact? We had such a lovely night, and now I see it was all a means to an end.

  Klaus Mikaelson : A rather delicious means to a mutually beneficial end.

  [reaches out towards her] 

  Genevieve : [turns away]  Tell me--beyond the pleasures of last night and the promise of what I'm sure is an exquisite painting, what exactly would a French Quarter witch gain from aligning with you?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well, the treaty my dear brother negotiated between the warring factions of this city, the one that you yourself signed. No doubt everyone means well, but this is after all...

  Genevieve : Still the French Quarter?

  Klaus Mikaelson : A borough rife with natural enemies. What you and your witches need is the protection only I can provide. No one, not vampires, not werewolves, not even my brother, would dare trifle with you if I am on your side.

  Genevieve : And in exchange... I am to offer you what, exactly?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well, all I ask is for the promise of your allegiance.

  [whispers] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : One never knows when a powerful witch might come in handy.

  Genevieve : Well, then...

• Genevieve : And who put you in charge?

  Monique Deveraux : I communed with the ancestors. They said it's time for you to sacrifice yourself.

  Genevieve : Of course. It will be an honor to fulfill my duty to our coven. But it's not quite my time yet.

  Monique Deveraux : The ancestors were very clear. We need for you to die so our community can have the full power of the Harvest.

  Genevieve : Careful, Monique. Not so long ago, I was one of those ancestors. A spirit forced to watch as little by little witches surrendered everything to vampires. We may no longer live under Marcel's thumb, but I, for one, don't particularly enjoy answering to Elijah, either. Before I take my leave, I'd like to ensure that you have the power to control your own fate. The Mikaelson's mother, Esther, was a powerful witch. Her spell-book contains enchantments that we can use to our own ends. And I can steal it for our coven and will never be subjugated again. You'll have your sacrifice. But I have things to do before I die.

• Camille O'Connell : [while the Harvest witches receive offerings]  Do you get any gifts?

  Genevieve : What are you doing here?

  Camille O'Connell : I know I'm crashing, but it's you I came to see. Don't worry, I just wanna say my piece, and then I'll leave.

  [offers red velvet box] 

  Camille O'Connell : Here.

  Genevieve : What is this?

  Camille O'Connell : An offering, from me. I know we have no reason to like each other, but I want to honor what Elijah has built--what my uncle worked for.

  Genevieve : Oh. So this is about your uncle.

  Camille O'Connell : Like I said, I know you have no reason to help me. But Klaus said... a long time ago, you were cheated out of life, and if I can't help him if you can't help him, so will he. And so I'm asking you... Please.

  [Genevieve opens the box] 

  Camille O'Connell : Klaus said you were from this era, and I thought with your red hair...

  [it's a turquoise hair brooch] 

  Genevieve : I had one just like this. Perhaps... I can help you.

• Klaus Mikaelson : You left without my offering.

  Genevieve : Your vampires ruined my party.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well, they're not my vampires anymore, love. Although Marcel certainly took a page out of my book of dramatic effect. Look, I owed Davina some consolation because I killed her first love. I do try to make up for my wrongdoings as with our little quarrel earlier. So, here,

  [offers gift box with a smile] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : I picked it out earlier tonight. A friend of yours gave me a hand.

  Genevieve : What friend was that?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well, open it, see for yourself.

  [lifts lid to reveal the severed hands of her underling then smirks] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Did you really think I would leave my mother's grimoire unprotected?

  Genevieve : A century ago I dreamed of what it would be like to know you. Now I'm glad I didn't. I might have been naive enough to fall for you or fear you, but I've learned a lot in death. And trust me, Klaus Mikaelson, it's you who should be afraid of me.

  [walks away] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : It's a pity. I will miss the sex.

  Genevieve : Your friend Cami showed up tonight. Her offering was quite sweet.

  [shows off the turquoise brooch adorning her hair] 

  Genevieve : So I gave her hope that I would lift Kieran's hex. But there is no hope. Or if there was, there isn't now.

  Klaus Mikaelson : If the priest dies, then believe me, you will follow swiftly after him.

  Genevieve : [chuckles]  It will be foolish of you to kill me, a potential ally, in defense of some powerless human who is, by the way, sleeping with your enemy Marcel.
