Quotes

Klaus: "These cultists...slaughtered werewolves by the pack."

Klaus: "Rise and shine."

Klaus: "I'm singly focused on your impended suffering."

Klaus: "This ends now."

Elijah: "You were right."

Antoinette: "About?"

Elijah: "The feeling after sundown without the ring. It's just most transcendent joy."

Antoinette: "I'll take credit for most of that joy, thank you very much. Behind you, in the corner, don't look. He was in the bar earlier. You think it's your family again?"

Elijah: "I think we ought to introduce ourselves. Ladies first. Well, somebody's been busy. Busy watching you."

Elijah: "I wouldn't argue with this fool. He's not listening to a single word you say, he's simply waiting for you to draw breath. So that he might pontificate anew."

Klaus: "I believe you're thinking of my brother, Elijah. He's the pompous controlling one."

Elijah: "Interesting. I'd always heard that Elijah was the enigmatic and charming one, the truly distinguished element of the family."

Elijah: "Fifty werewolves killed in Stäbelow. I prefer the eighty in Wittenberg, a dozen massacres all within twenty miles of where we sit, Klaus."

Vampire: "Look, I don't know anything."

Klaus: "Well, that's a pity for you then."
