Klaus Mikaelson quotes from The Originals

Klaus

What is it you want, Rebekah?

Rebekah

The same things I've wanted since I was a child. I want a home. I want a family. I want someone to love me, and I want to live.

Klaus

(about Rebekah) How long do you think you can defend her?

Elijah

As long as it takes, and by whatever means necessary.

Klaus

I love my family. You, Elijah. I loved all of you. I know I can be difficult, but I did not make myself this way. It was Mikael who ruined me.

Rebekah

He ruined me, too. That's what you forget. Centuries later, each of us is broken. You with your anger and paranoia. Me with my fear of abandonment. And poor Elijah; he dedicates himself to everyone but himself. We are the strongest creatures in the world and yet we are damaged beyond repair. We live without hope but we will never die. We are the definition of "cursed"… Always and forever.

Francesca

Shouldn't you intervene or something?

Klaus

Why would I? This party just got interesting.

Klaus

Not a fan of cerulean blue?

Elijah

Not a fan of your continued indifference.

Klaus

Think very carefully before you speak. The sound of your voice is likely to make me regret what mercy I've shown thus far.

Marcel

Yeah, yeah, I'm on your who's been naughty list.

Elijah

Please tell me you've designed a stronger method to control the witch than playing hard to get.

Klaus

Well I've always been partial to the classics.

Klaus

Seems rather uncivilized to laugh and dance around the body of a loved one.

Elijah

Yes, far better to practice your process of grief, Niklaus. Denial, rage, and hoarding coffins in basements.

Klaus

(looking over a tied up, beaten Jackson) Accolades to Marcel. He did quite a dance across the bridge of your nose.

Elijah

(sarcastically, opening a crate to reveal a bomb) Although he did leave us a delightful parting gift.

Klaus

If you fail to uphold your end of the deal, the consequences for you will be apocalyptic.

Genevieve

You say the most romantic things.

Klaus

Camille, I appreciate you being here. But I cannot seek comfort in you. We cannot be friends.

Cami

What?

Klaus

You had me pegged from the start. A man damaged by his demons. Well those demons aren’t dormant, and they are hell-bent on killing me and everything beautiful around me….and you are beautiful.

Rebekah

What's her name?

Klaus

Hope. Her name is Hope.

Klaus

Hello, sister.

Rebekah

(looking at the baby) Oh, she looks like her mother. Maybe there is a god after all.

Klaus

Well she has a hint of the devil in her eyes. That's all me.

Marcel Gerard

I'm not looking for tough guys, Josh. I'm looking for warriors.

What's the difference?

Klaus Mikaelson

[entering] A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family.

Klaus Mikaelson

You chase my redemption like a man rolling a stone up an endless mountain.

Elijah Mikaelson

Well, no mountain is endless, brother. Some are just steeper than others.
