Marcel Gerard quotes from The Originals

Marcel

What do you care about the witches?

Elijah

Well, that's my business, now isn't it?

Marcel

I don't have time for Mikaelson family drama. You're my guest. Keep your sister in line.

Klaus

I'd have greater chance of draining the Mississippi with a straw.

Rebekah

I want Elijah back.

Marcel

Is that all you want?

Father Kieran

Never forget, Marcel, that you live in this city by the grace of those who know your secret and tolerate it.

Marcel

And this city thrives because of me and my people. Any time you need a reminder of that, just let me know.

Marcel

It's good to see you. I was worried you thought I was some hothead after that display at the masquerade.

Cami

(shrugging) We all have our hot-headed moments! Anyway, I'm almost done here until clean-up, so the two of us girls can hang out if you need to go shmooze, or whatever.

Klaus

A mutual law of nature, Marcel, is the strong always take from the weak.

Marcel

Well, if you were so strong you wouldn't have run away from New Orleans like a little bitch all those years ago.

Rebekah

You do not want to end up on the wrong side of me.

Marcel

Oh, Rebekah Mikaelson, you do not want to end up in the wrong side of me.

Marcel

Well, this might spice things up. I just heard about a bunch of dead witches out in the bayou. The kind of damage a werewolf might do, only there was no full moon. I have an informant out there I need to meet and I would love for you to go with me.

Klaus

Dead witches in the bayou. Sounds like less of a problem, and more like a cause for celebration.

Marcel

Well, something killed them. And may still be out there. And with your blood the only cure for a werewolf bite, I would love for you to accompany me.

Klaus

(about the Harvest) You're the one who stopped it.

Marcel

Kieran knew every detail from Sophie. After his nephew's massacre in the church, he was so torn up. He left town just before the Harvest. But on his way out, he came to me, and he asked me to stop the Harvest. He knew I didn't want the witches getting any more power. And I do have a rule about people abusing kids, so, I did what he asked.

Marcel

(to Klaus) You compelled her to go out with me, didn't you? (to Cami) And I thought you really liked me.

Cami

So did I.

Klaus

Well, I mean, to be clear. I only compelled you to give him a chance. Anything you felt for him was quite real. And for the record, the level of awkwardness we're all currently experiencing is entirely genuine.

Marcel

(about Davina) She'll never trust me again.

Elijah

Perhaps. You must never surrender the fight to regain that trust.

Davina

I'll die whether I do this or not. Right now the only option is whether I take everyone else with me. When you look at it that way, it's kind of selfish not to do it.

Marcel

There has to be another way. This is not how it ends.

Davina

And if it is, if this is all I have, I've had a lot. I had Monique, and I had Tim, and I had someone who fought for me from the moment he met me. Most people don't get that even if they live to be a hundred. Marcel, I'm ready.

Marcel

(about the restaurant) You gonna open this place today?

Cami

And risk you eating the clientele?

Marcel

And here I thought you were starting to like me again.

Marcel

How long are you going to hate me?

Rebekah

You left me in a box for fifty-two years. Twice that seems like a good start.

Marcel

(about the sacrificed vampires) Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep.

Elijah

That's a rather large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say?
