Joseph Morgan: Klaus Mikaelson

Quotes 

• Lenore : My beautiful girl... My firstborn...

  Freya Mikaelson : [snarls]  Touch me, and I will use these chains to strangle you!

  Klaus Mikaelson : Yes, well, now that we have the pleasantries out the way, let's begin, shall we?

• Klaus Mikaelson : [taking bondage implements out of cabinet]  I should stop packing these away. There's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling!

  [to Marcel:] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Find Rebekah or Eva or whoever the bloody hell that was! Use these to stop her from doing magic. And don't hurt her. The non-psychopathic bits are still my sister!

• Freya Mikaelson : [coming down the stairs, finds Klaus looking at Rebekah's portrait]  Our sister was quite the beauty.

  Klaus Mikaelson : [snaps]  You said that you could put Rebekah back in her original body. Do it.

  Freya Mikaelson : [chuckles]  So, you've come to your senses.

  Klaus Mikaelson : [austere]  My senses have not faltered. They still demand that you are not to be trusted. However, circumstance dictates otherwise for now.

  Freya Mikaelson : What's changed?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Eva Sinclair has resumed control of her body, leaving Rebekah trapped and powerless. So make with your spells and enchantments, and put my sister back in her true body!

  Freya Mikaelson : I'm afraid it's not that simple.

  Klaus Mikaelson : More stalling. Very well. I know I can't kill you, but I shall have a fine time trying. Tell me,

  [sweetly:] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : have you ever been skinned alive?

  Freya Mikaelson : The problem is Rebekah's condition has worsened. When I offered to help, she was in control of Eva's body. She's lost inside Eva. I don't have a spell that can reach Eva's mind and find her.

  Klaus Mikaelson : Fortunately for you, I know someone well versed in such spells.

  [in one lightning-quick move, he has the cuffs on Freya] 

  Klaus Mikaelson : Let's go meet her, shall we?

• Freya Mikaelson : [at Esther's tomb]  You won't trust me, but you would trust her?

  Klaus Mikaelson : I trust my mother about as much as I would a stuck snake. Fortunately she is now a vampire, and as such, vulnerable to my compulsion.

• Eva Sinclair : What? You're not fishing for a thank-you, I hope?

  Klaus Mikaelson : I'd find myself freezing in hell before I got one from you. Well, come on then, let's get you back in your proper body. Though I'll likely have to torture Freya and Esther to do so, which actually might be quite fun.

• Freya Mikaelson : Come to shackle me again, brother?

  Klaus Mikaelson : Maybe you've managed to worm your way into the witches' good graces. And my siblings' too. But I see you... for what you really are... even if they cannot.

  Freya Mikaelson : They are not burdened by crippling paranoia. The kind that leaves you muttering to yourself, alone in the dark: "Where has everyone gone?" Mean of me, yes. Shouldn't bring up your childhood secrets. But don't worry, all I saw when I channeled you were anger issues and a questionable taste in women. I was... once alone, brother. It would be a shame if... you were the one who now found himself solo. It doesn't have to be like this, of course. But be careful. I have only so much patience.
