Joseph Morgan: Klaus Mikaelson

Quotes 

• Camille O'Connell : Am I supposed to fear you too?

  Klaus Mikaelson : It will be better for you if you did. For you to believe I am the monster that they would paint me as. And then one day, when all of this was past... I might find you and profess my innocence. And because you're you, you would believe me. And we would pass the perfect afternoon... In a corner café together.

  [his hand on her cheek] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : And I would wish for nothing more.

  [their eyes meet] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : A better man would protect you with that lie. But I am not that man. And so I leave you with the burden of a truth that no one will believe.

• Hayley Marshall : Of course I tried to call you, Elijah, but since Dahlia was able to take down Klaus and Mikael, I'm guessing that a cellphone tower was a piece of cake.

  Elijah Mikaelson : And where were the wolves who stood guard?

  Hayley Marshall : Getting their asses handed to them by Dahlia just like Klaus did.

  Klaus Mikaelson : [enters]  That's it! You're coming with me to the compound.

  Hayley Marshall : Where Dahlia send Josephine this morning. No way! We'd be sitting ducks just like we will be here as soon as that spell breaks. Which is why we have to go. Jackson is out getting supplies. And then we're taking the wolves and we're headed to the bayou.

  Klaus Mikaelson : The swamp. So my child can be protected by the very wolves Dahlia so easily defeated. Absolutely not!

  Hayley Marshall : You know, I am so over taking advice from you, Klaus. All it has done so far is put Hope in danger. From now on, I am gonna do all I wanna do. We're leaving!

  Klaus Mikaelson : [grabs her]  You're not going anywhere unless I tell you to.

  Hayley Marshall : I am not your prisoner, Klaus!

  Elijah Mikaelson : Both of you, please... We're playing into Dahlia's hands.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Not doing as I say... plays into her hands! While you two have been kowtowing to Freya and devising ways to flee with your tail between your legs, I've been forging a new path. I know what Freya was planning. And I know how to kill Dahlia.

• Elijah Mikaelson : [acknowledges early morning visitor]  Josephine.

  Josephine LaRue : [wears jewel-decorated scarf, obviously to hide lethal neck injury]  Forgive me for calling so early, Elijah... But I've come bearing a message from your Aunt Dahlia. She is owed a debt and she means to be paid.

  Klaus Mikaelson : She can writhe in hell first.

  Josephine LaRue : For merely taking what your mother promised her? If you must harbor hatred, isn't it better spent on the one who traded your child away a thousand years ago? Blame Esther, if you must... but I... seek only to fulfill a bargain. A bargain that consequently resulted in your very existence. Perhaps you should be thanking me.

  Elijah Mikaelson : [sees this apparition for who she really is, steps forward]  Dahlia.

  Josephine LaRue : My child... I prefer... "Aunt... Dahlia."

  Klaus Mikaelson : [steps forward]  You dare... enter my home.

  Josephine LaRue : I only came for what is mine. The time has come... to add the child's power to my own. Though I do not detect her here... I see you used a spell... to cloak her. No matter.

  [croaking voice:] 

  Josephine LaRue : Such spells will yield, as will you. Say your farewells. You have till nightfall tomorrow. And then... the child... shall... be mine. Be a dear, and inform the mother. No reason we can't be civilized about this.
