- Elijah Mikaelson: [as meeting turns into shambles] Order! Calm yourselves please! Thank you. Now, returning to the issue of boundaries, you will all heed the following...
- Hayley Marshall: [arriving] Are you serious? You're dividing up the city, and the werewolves don't even get a say?
- Diego: What the hell is she doing here?
- Elijah Mikaelson: Diego, sit!
- [Diego obeys reluctantly]
- Elijah Mikaelson: We're not dividing the city, we're establishing...
- Hayley Marshall: No, Elijah. There is not gonna be a peace if the werewolves are excluded. They want a seat at the table.
- [Diego scoffs]
- Hayley Marshall: And if they don't get one, I can guarantee that you will all regret it.
- Elijah Mikaelson: [after the interrupted meeting] Do you have any idea what it took just to get those people in one room together?
- Hayley Marshall: No, actually I don't. Because I didn't even know what you were doing until someone else told me. Tell me something, Elijah. Did you leave the werewolves out because of me?
- Elijah Mikaelson: I excluded them because they no longer reside in the French Quarter. My immediate concern is to end the mounting conflict here. Now, I can assure you, once this treaty is solidified, it will expand to include your people.
- Hayley Marshall: And until then, what should I tell them? Sit, stay, roll over?
- Elijah Mikaelson: I would prefer that you remove yourself from the process altogether!
- [sighs]
- Elijah Mikaelson: Hayley, are you absolutely sure that you shouldn't return to the compound?
- Hayley Marshall: You think the baby belongs there? You think that's where she'll be safe?
- Elijah Mikaelson: Is the Bayou any better?
- Hayley Marshall: The wolves deserve a voice. Give them one. You know it's the right thing to do.
- [turns, leaves]
- Genevieve: You should have seen your brother's face when Hayley walked in.
- Klaus Mikaelson: Crescent curse is broken then?
- Genevieve: Do you believe this will actually work? That we can finally have some semblance of peace in this city?
- Camille O'Connell: [enters] I saw the lights from the courtyard and took a chance that...
- [halts]
- Camille O'Connell: you weren't with a half-naked psycho witch. It seems I gambled and lost.
- Genevieve: Ten minutes ago I was fully naked.
- Camille O'Connell: Oh. Then you served your purpose. Don't let me hold you up.
- Genevieve: [approaches menacingly] You O'Connells sure do love to piss off witches.
- [leaves]
- Camille O'Connell: [to Klaus] Really? The woman tried to blackmail me into stabbing you with a mystical knife of excruciating pain.
- Klaus Mikaelson: Well, New Orleans breeds nothing if not strange bedfellows. But I assume you're not here to question me about my leisure activities.
- Josh Rosza: Hey. You okay?
- Davina Claire: It's Monique. She has no idea what I went through when I was dead. The ancestors hated me for what I did with my magic. I can't just start practicing again. I knew I shouldn't have trusted Marcel when he told me to go back.
- Marcel Gerard: [noticed chafe marks on Cami's elbow] I just saw Kieran. He's not gonna hurt you again. In fact, he won't leave the attic at all. I arranged for a little boundary spell.
- Camille O'Connell: You got a witch to help you? I thought they hated you.
- Marcel Gerard: For you, I found one who doesn't. Hey, what's wrong?
- Camille O'Connell: Nothing. You're the first person to help me in a month.
- [sobs]
- Camille O'Connell: Kieran's the only family I have left. Without him, I'm alone.
- Marcel Gerard: [softly] Yeah. Yeah, I'm a little short on family myself these days. Hey, if there's... anything I can do to help, Cami, just let me know.
- Camille O'Connell: There is one thing.
- [swallowing tears]
- Camille O'Connell: We're out of bourbon.
- [they both chuckle]
- Jackson Kenner: You gotta try Tucker's ribs.
- Hayley Marshall: And then what? Then we're gonna play horseshoes?
- Jackson Kenner: You don't mock country living, darlin'.
- Hayley Marshall: Sorry. This is just a lot more family fun than I'm used to.
- Jackson Kenner: Well, maybe I can help you get used to it.
- Oliver: Then all we gotta do is just forget she spent half her life with humans and the other half with vampires.
- Jackson Kenner: Ollie, back off.
- Hayley Marshall: It's okay. If the runt of the litter has something to say, he should say it.
- Oliver: [scoffs] You know, word from the Quarter is your boy Elijah is holding some kind of power summit. Guess who wasn't invited?
- Hayley Marshall: Where did you hear this?
- Oliver: It doesn't matter. The point is we're stuck here in the swamp while your vampire boyfriend's deciding who gets what in the city. And I guess that shows how much respect he's got for the werewolves, huh?
- Hayley Marshall: [observing mock fight] Shouldn't you be out there playing Fight Club with the rest of the frat boys?
- Jackson Kenner: No, that's just for pecking order. They already know who's the Alpha.
- Elijah Mikaelson: Would you care to dance?
- Hayley Marshall: [as they dance] You outdid yourself. You even got Klaus to come out and play.
- Elijah Mikaelson: Yes, it seems only a sizeable soiree is enough to tear my brother away from his efforts at the easel.
- Hayley Marshall: That's never a good sign. Klaus once told me that his painting was a metaphor for control, for achieving his vision through sheer force of will.
- Elijah Mikaelson: Well, truthfully, I'd be shocked if he didn't have at least a dozen of those visions swarming around in that insidious skull of his. I do hope your daughter inherits her mother's... everything.
- [twirls her, and she smiles]
- Hayley Marshall: Isn't it weird being back here?
- Elijah Mikaelson: Not unpleasant, I hope?
- Hayley Marshall: Not entirely.
- Elijah Mikaelson: Are you entirely sure you shouldn't be here with us?
- Hayley Marshall: Why, Elijah? Because you don't think it's safe in big, bad wolf country? I'm not gonna sit in a rocking chair and knit booties, or haven't you figured that out yet?
- Jackson Kenner: [cutting in] Can I have a minute, Hayley?
- Elijah Mikaelson: You can have it later.
- Hayley Marshall: [spitefully] Actually, he can have this dance.
- Jackson Kenner: [dancing with Hayley] Everything all right?
- Hayley Marshall: Yeah. Fine. We were just... discussing the future of the city.
- Jackson Kenner: How can you be thinking about the city right now? He should have told you how beautiful you look tonight.
- Oliver: [to the wallflower at party] Hey. You look...
- Davina Claire: Nervous, out of place, short in this dress?
- Oliver: I was gonna say pretty. I'm Oliver. So what's the name of the girl I'm about to ask to dance?
- [Davina smiles]
- Monique Deveraux: Her name is Monique.
- [Davina exhales, and walks off]
- Diego: [to drinking Oliver] Hey, wolf-boy! Should I have them put that into a bowl for you?
- Oliver: Well, yeah, if you want me to crush your skull with it.
- Francesca Correa: Please, boys, at least fight over something interesting. Me perhaps?
- Diego: No, you don't wanna get involved with his kind. See, they got this nasty little habit of going berserk and ripping innocent people to shreds.
- Oliver: No, no. Okay, look. If my people... wronged you in any way... you have my condolences, okay?
- [pause]
- Oliver: Though I'd be surprised if my kin could choke him down, being half as ugly as him.
- [Diego and Oliver fight]
