You killed my brother when you let Hayley die. Because despite what you might think, you did love her. Not 'cause of some family obsession, because of her. Because she believed in something better for all of us. And because she fought for it when we couldn't. Come on. I don't know who you'll be on the other side of that door, but I know that you can't open it alone. You need me.

Quotes[]

Rebekah: "We made a vow, always and forever."
Elijah: "I made another vow!"
Elijah: "What is this place?"
Kol: "We're in Elijah's mental maze."
Klaus: "Elijah! What have you done?"

Elijah: "Every last exit is sealed. If you're thinking about jumping, don't. I already tried it, I landed in the world's most pretentious wine cellar."
Klaus: "You sorted it by vintage. You don't remember, do you? I thought Marcel was intent on retrieving your memories."
Elijah: "He was, he failed. I still remember absolutely nothing, and Antoinette is dying."
Klaus: "Is she? Right. Yes. I'd forgotten."
Elijah: "What the hell are we doing here? What is this place? This is dangerous, you and I here together."
Klaus: "We're not actually here together, are we? Not physically, at least. It's called a Chambre de Chasse, it's a magical mental prison designed to resemble our home, but don't worry. There's always a way out -- a game or a riddle."
Elijah: "How do we solve this riddle?"
Klaus: "We don't do anything. We're square, you and I. You got Hayley killed, and Antoinette will die because of me. I would hate to upset that delicate balance. So I'm gonna find my way out, and you're on your own."

Elijah: "Ominous weather."
Kol: "That's an indication of what's actually happening in New Orleans. Hope and Klaus are in the same city, the resulting consequence is leaking into this reality."
Kol: "Here, this might jog your memory. This is all the junk you deemed is worthy of preserving. Ring any bells?"
Elijah: "You know, Klaus came to visit me at my bar in France. Rebekah, too. You didn't."
Kol: "You and I never really had much in common, besides our dashing good looks. And you and Freya and more or less murdered my wife, so..."
Elijah: "I'm..."
Kol: "The journals. They may contain information about what represents you, somewhere amongst the martyrdom and self-righteousness."
Elijah: "Wait. Did I ever apologize to you for what I did?"
Kol: "In your peculiar way, I suppose. Look, what matters is that I got her back. Not everybody is so lucky."

Rebekah: "Always been dramatic."
Klaus: "Rebekah."
Kol: "Oh, bloody hell. My least favorite recurring nightmare. Suppose I'll ask the obvious, piss off any witches lately?"
Klaus: "Split up, we need to turn this place upside down. I only just promised my grieving daughter I wouldn't abandoned her again."
