Freya: "We're up against a powerful evil spirit who's hell-bent on sacrificing my brother."

Vincent: "Do you remember at all what it's like to be a human being?"

Elijah: "Not really."

Dominic: "You have no idea what you're dealing with."

Freya: "I'm unimpressed."

Freya: "We're up against a powerful evil spirit who's hell-bent on sacrificing my brother as well as Marcel."

Vincent: "Do you remember at all what it's like to be a human being?"

Elijah: "Not really."

Marcel: "Bet your dad's never trusted anyone in his life."

Klaus: "Hope?!"

Dominic: "You have no idea what you're dealing with."

Freya: "I'm unimpressed."

Klaus: "You know, Hope, I'd rather you didn't play here, actually. All the splinters and the dust. And the bats."

Hope: "There aren't any bats!"

Klaus: "I've seen no evidence that your uncle Elijah doesn't sleep here, hanging upside down."

Hope: "Dad, was there a little boy who used to lived here?"

Klaus: "Come along, sweetheart. We can discuss ancient history another time."

Josh: "Whoa."

Freya: "I need a vampire to do a spell. You, just volunteered."

Josh: "Right, so... let's see, you threw my best friend into a supernatural hell-world, but sure, let me bend over backwards and do you a favor."

Freya: "Look, we're up against a powerful, evil spirit with powerful evil followers who's hell-bent on sacrificing my brother as well as your dear friend Marcel. So, are you helping or are you whining?"

Josh: "If I say no, then your brothers are going to do something totally uncool with my entrails."

Freya: "My brothers don't know I'm here. I need you to help me set a trap. I got to deal with Dominic on my terms, you're going to help me keep Marcel breathing so, you in?"

Elijah: "I have a little errand to run."

Klaus: "Listen, I found Hope exploring the rubbish in the attic. She's restless."

Hayley: "She's not restless. She's bored. Most kids her age would be at school. They'd have friends to play with."

Marcel: "Listen, I will tell you anything you wanna know, okay, if you give me some blood from your dad's stash."

Hope: "I'm seven, not stupid."
