Quotes 

• Marcel Gerard : [to Rebekah, about the house]  Interesting location to put down your roots. The same plantation where I was a slave. I guess that's why you never invited me over.

• Marcel Gerard : Just keeping my city safe from thieves and vandals. But, every time I turn around, I catch an Original with their hand in the cookie jar.

• Marcel Gerard : [to Josh]  I know you want a daylight ring. Little heads up: I got guys eighty years ahead of you.

• Marcel Gerard : Those Orphan Annie vampires are my family and this city is my home.

• Rebekah Mikaelson : Well, now you can have whatever you want. Come with me.

  Marcel Gerard : And go where, Rebekah?

  Rebekah Mikaelson : Wherever we want to. We can build a home together. We can leave behind Klaus and... this city and those Orphan Annie vampires.

  Marcel Gerard : Whoa, those Orphan Annie vampires are my family and this city is my home.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : It was my home too, once. I left.

  Marcel Gerard : You ran. I stayed. This empire, it thrives because of me. And you want me to run. A man does not run from his home.

  Rebekah Mikaelson : I lived a lot longer than you, Marcellus. I have seen kings rise... and fall. If there is one thing I know to be true, it is that no matter how big your empire becomes, it is nothing if you have no one to share it with. You want New Orleans... have it. I won't be here to stop you.
