Quotes 

• Klaus : [lamented]  For a thousand years, I lived in fear. Any time I settled anywhere, our father would hunt me down and... chase me off. He made me feel powerless and I hated it. This town was my home once. And in my absence, Marcel has got everything that I ever wanted. Power, loyalty, family. I made him in my image and he has bettered me. I want what he has. I want to be king.

  Elijah : And what of Hayley and the baby?

  Klaus : Every king needs an heir.

• Elijah : [reasoning to his brother]  Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty, that's power. This is what we swore to one another 1,000 years ago before life tore away what little humanity you had left. Before ego, before anger, before paranoia created in this person before me someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother. This is us, the Original family. And we remain together, always and forever.

• Rebekah Mikaelson : Where are you going?

  Elijah : To find out who's making a move against our brother. And then... I'll either stop them... or I'll help them... Depending on my mood.

• Hayley Marshall : Klaus. You need to listen to them.

  Klaus : [laughs]  You're all out of your minds... if you think some liquor-fueled one-night-stand - no offense, sweetheart - means a thing to me.

  Sophie Deveraux : Marcel may be able to stop us from practicing any real magic in this town, but as keepers of the balance, we still know when nature has cooked up something new. For example, I have a special gift... of sensing when a girl is pregnant.

  Klaus : What?

  Hayley Marshall : I know, it's impossible.

  Klaus : What are you saying?

  Elijah : Niklaus... the girl is carrying your child.
