Haley: Klaus... You need to listen to them
Klaus: You're all out of your minds if you think some liquor-fueled one-night stand... No offense, sweetheart... Means a thing to me
Sophie: Marcel may be able to keep us from practicing real magic in this town, but as keepers of the balance, we still know when nature has cooked up something new. (Klaus arrives at a party, looking for Marcel. (Marcel and Klaus are outside. (She gets out of the car and takes her phone)
Haley: Hey, I'm looking for a tow service

Rebekah: New Orleans? 300 years ago, you helped build a backwater penal colony into something. A dagger in my heart and then back in a box? Come on. Elijah: Niklaus... Elijah: To find out who's making a move against our brother, and then... Elijah: To start over. Go ahead. Go ahead. He and I are the same. He kills who he wants. He wishes he could control his demons instead of having his demons control him. His family. How did you find a witch willing to make daylight rings? I made him in my image and he has bettered me. I want to be King
Elijah: And what of Hayley and the baby? I'll be waiting for him

Marcel: Hey, man. In my time, they were a force to be reckoned with, and now they live in fear. It's about time for that to change
(He gives her a blood bag and she drinks)
Elena: Vervain
Damon: How does that make you feel? Jane-Anne Deveraux
Woman: Sorry. Katherine is here)

(Haley is at a bar. Klaus: Every King needs an heir
(Elijah is walking in the cemetery with Sophie)
Elijah: So, how do you propose this will work? Klaus: What you can do is you can tell me what this thing is you have with the witches
Marcel: We're back to that? Marcel: I got the witches here wrapped around my finger
Klaus: Is that so? Marcel: It's the quarter. Now go. Or not
(He kills her. Please. Prince of the city. She looks at the bartender)
Bartender: Third time in here this week
Haley: I'm obsessed with The Gumbo, Jane-Anne
Jane-Anne: The old ladies in the ninth ward say my sister Sophie bleeds a piece of her soul into every dish
Haley: I asked around the quarter about my family
Jane-Anne: And? So, knowing our brother, this was a mission to silence and slaughter
Rebekah: Well, the French quarter witches are not a lot to be trifled with. Take back everything we lost. Tell Elijah to call me when he comes home. Tell me. That child, if it's even his, is better off without him
Elijah: He's not better off without that child, Rebekah, and neither are we
Rebekah: Darling, kind Elijah. That there, that's progress. We'll be hitting him where it hurts
(Thierry is sick. What is this? When he stops, he goes to the bar and sees Klaus)
Marcel: Klaus
Klaus: Marcel
Marcel: Must be 100 years since that nasty business with your papa
Klaus: Has it been that long? Where is Marcel? Witches aren't allowed to do magic here. Witches tell bedtime stories about the powerful vampire Klaus. You want to stay a while? You're aware the bite of a werewolf can kill a vampire? You're the original hybrid, the first of your kind, and this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes
Klaus: You've been with someone else. [Directors Cut of the Pilot]

Back In Present: Klaus comes back to New Orleans as he got a letter threatening him. Elijah leaves to find his brother coming to New Orleans. As he arrives there first, he finds the witch who called Klaus back, Jane Anne Deveraux. Sabine, also a witch, tells him that she tried to do magic, which has been banned in New Orleans by Marcel Gerard, whom he was shocked to see alive as he thought Marcel was dead. He meets Jane Anne's sister, Sophie Deveraux and other witches of the coven in the cemetery where the witches are buried and they tell him that her sister called Klaus to get rid of Marcel as he was killing the witches who were practicing magic and that there is a werewolf, Hayley, who is pregnant with Klaus's child and he tells him the story of his family and how Klaus is a hybrid and first of his kind. Klaus goes to his old home, the quarter, where he and Marcel argue and then he bites one of his vampires, Thierry, who is Marcel's right hand and Thierry gets sick as a werewolf bite is fatal to a vampire. Elijah calls Rebekah to fill her in about what is going on in New Orleans. Klaus arrives at the Cemetery and is not willing to accept that Hayley is pregnant with his child. Meanwhile, Sophie tells that her sister linked her to Hayley and that what happens to her would happen to Hayley and that's why she would not get hurt as Elijah thinks that this child could bring their family together. They arrive at a house which used to belong to the Mayor. He makes a deal with Marcel to give Jane Anne's body to the witches and to allow them to cremate her instead. Klaus would give his blood to cure Thierry and Marcel agrees. Klaus goes to the quarter and heals Thierry. At the Mayor's house where Hayley is going to stay, Elijah makes Hayley a promise that he will protect her and no one is going to hurt her. The episode ends with Klaus Daggering Elijah which takes us to a flashback when Klaus heals Thierry. Marcel asks Klaus to give him Elijah as he cannot let all the Originals just walking around in the city and Klaus agrees in order to gain Marcel's trust so he can take back his city which he and his siblings built. Rebekah is concerned about Elijah as he is not answering her calls and she gets ready to go back to New Orleans.
