Quotes 

• Rebekah Mikaelson : Elijah is home. There's only one dagger. Which one of us will you be punishing today?

  Klaus Mikaelson : I contemplated a game, of eeny meeny miny moe. You betrayed me, my own sister.

  Elijah Mikaelson : Niklaus, don't you dare.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Well, perhaps it should be you, brother, stealing my child away with every fawning moment of tenderness you show to Hayley.

  Elijah Mikaelson : This has nothing to do with Hayley.

  Klaus Mikaelson : It has everything to do with her! She's adored you since she arrived and now my child, my blood will grow up to call you father.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Is that what this is? You are once again worried that you will be left behind? Has history taught you nothing? We don't abandon you, Nik. You drive us away.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Is that so? What have I done lately other than cooperate? I bowed down to you, brother, to make up for daggering you, for the greater good of our plan to reclaim our home. Looked the other way, sister, while you repeat the same cycle with Marcel, falling again for a man you shouldn't be with, while he controls the empire that we built that he took. Now, I make no excuses for past sins but in the one moment when you two could have chosen to stand by me, to believe in me... and believe my intentions for my own child were pure, you chose to stand against me to side with my enemies. I wanted our home back. Now I have it. So, I'm going to live there, and the two of you, you can stay here together... and rot.

• Hayley : Why are you trying to put together your family when it's so clear that one part of it is broken?

  Elijah Mikaelson : The definition of the word broken suggests that something can be fixed.

• Hayley : Remind me to annihilate your brother once you're healthy.

  Elijah Mikaelson : [fighting his fever]  Yes... Remind me to remind you to get in line.
