Vincent Griffith quotes from The Originals

Vincent Griffith

[to Eva] Is that what you think heartache feel like, Eva? Oh, you got no idea. I wanted to rip my own heart out every time I woke so I couldn't feel what you did to me, that bone-deep hurt knowing that I could not save them kids from you, the woman I loved more than my own life.

Vincent Griffith

Vincent Griffith. I would say, "at your service," but, uh, that implies I had a choice in the matter.

Rebekah

Oh, he's witty. Wonderful. Now I hear you have some information for me.

Vincent

Just... give me a second. [stares at Rebekka and chuckles] When they put Eva in the Falling Cottage I never thought I'd see her again.

Elijah

How is it, exactly, that you knew Ms Sinclair?

Vincent

She was my wife.

Rebekah

Well, that is bloody fantastic.

Marcel Gerard

A little early, isn't it?

Vincent Griffith

You know why I'm sitting here day drinking in the corner all by lonesome? No? Because I'm pretty much done and through with the vamps, wolves, and witches of this town, and from some of the looks I've been getting, they're through with me, too, so if I sit in here, they don't see me, and if I drink...after a while, I don't see them either.

Rebekah

[flipping through records] Who goes to a jazz club with no bloody jazz?

Vincent

Do you mind? I'm trying to reverse a very complicated sacrifice spell and you whining about jazz is not helping me.

Elijah

I'm afraid we have more pressing concerns.

Vincent

When I invited you to meet me I had no idea we were gonna have such a gorgeous guest. [Hope is in the bar with Cami] You have blood right there.

Cami

Oh, yeah... My dry cleaning bill has been insane since moving back into town. [Vincent pours drinks] Drinking in front of a baby. New all time low?

Vincent

You're the one who brought her into a bar. [Cami looks away] Ah yeah, I know that look. Sense of obligation. [They click glasses] Duty. What do you feel like you owe these people? [Cami rolls her eyes] You forgot, I have a few psychology degrees before the family you so wrapped up in stole my body.

Cami

So you're head-shrinking me now, is that it?

Vincent

No, I'm trying to figure out why a smart, level-headed woman such as yourself would choose to stick around a town that to my eyes seems to offer you nothing but danger.

Cami

I'm the last of my family line, the O'Connells' have a long legacy here.

Vincent

Don't feed me that legacy crap Camille. You wanna talk about legacies? My momma, her momma, and they daddy before them were some of the wickedest witches the west-side of this city has ever seen. And yet in still I'm able to walk away from magic because I know it's not good for me. Just like Nicklaus and his whole clan are not good for you, Camille.

Cami

So you're walking away? Huh? More like you're dumping your responsibilities on a teenager who doesn't know any better.

Vincent

She knows better. She knows - she knows a hell of a lot more than she should. And if she's not careful, she doesn't walk the right line, she's gonna end up being the wickedest of them all, mark my words.

Cami

Then why would you leave her without a teacher?

Vincent

[Smiles] Okay, fair enough, pick a fight, call me out, but... um, from one head-shrink to another, what is it that you're deflecting from yourself?

Cami

You wanna know why I stay in town?

Vincent

Yeah.

Cami

Because, against every ounce of my better judgement, my sanity, and my common sense, turns out I have complicated feelings for a monster.

Vincent

And does this monster have complicated feelings for you?

Cami

I think it's entirely possible that he does, yeah.

Vincent

[Drinks down the rest of his drink] We gonna need another bottle. [Cami chuckles]
