Jackson Kenner quotes from The Originals

Jackson

(to Hayley) I got to keep my eye on you, precious cargo and all.

Jackson

(as Klaus continues to open bombed crates) Are you trying to kill us?!?

Jackson Kenner

Being Alpha's an honor, you know. It's one you have to earn every day.

Hayley

Shouldn’t you be out there playing Fight Club with the rest of the frat boys.

Jackson

That’s just for pecking order... they already know who’s the alpha.

Jackson

You didn't grow up here. Yeah, every kid grows up hearing the stories. Back in the day, werewolf bloodlines were all distinct, right? Some had speed, some had strength, some could sense enemies from miles away. Now, to evolve, we would perform a ritual. A shaman would marry the alphas of each bloodline, and then the special abilities of each would be... inherited, mystically, by everyone who participated in the ritual. See, after a few centuries, everybody had the same abilities, so alpha marriages became political. They became about... power, about territory.

Hayley

But I have a unique ability. But I have a unique ability. Because I'm a hybrid, I can control when I change! So, if this mystical marriage thing works, then--then our people get my power, and they can ditch the rings! Which means Esther no longer has a hold over them! Jack, this is exactly the answer that we've been looking for! Let's find a shaman, we'll say some vows. Hell, we'll make it a party!

Jackson

It ain't just a party. If the vows ain't honored, it doesn't work. It's gotta be a real marriage, in every way, for the rest of our lives. Are you up for that? (her down-turned face gives away her answer) Didn't think so.

Jackson Kenner

You don't know a damn thing about being a wolf.

Klaus Mikaelson

No. I don't. I never had the luxury to live among my kind nor the chance to truly know my father, but you knew him. Perhaps he saw in you the son he always wanted. I'm glad I was spared such a sorry fate.

Klaus Mikaelson

You know, you are a brave and selfless leader, Jackson, and I'm positive you'll remain so for the entire duration of your reign. Festivities begin at 8:00 at my compound. Spread the word and do arrive early enough to clean yourself up. It's your wedding day for God's sake.

Jackson Kenner

[to Aiden] Am I crazy, or did he just do his version of a nice thing?
