Camille O'Connell:
No offense, but I'm not sure I follow why you've invited me here.

Klaus Mikaelson:
Because I enjoy your company and I sense you have the capacity for understanding someone of my... complexity. You see, I returned to New Orleans to investigate a threat posed against me. What I found was a young woman, pregnant, in need of protection. My brother, always the do-gooder, tried to manipulate me into helping her. He thought it might redeem me.

Camille O'Connell:
[analyzing him] I don't believe in evil as a diagnosis. I think you have unstable personal relationships, stress-related paranoia, chronic anger issues, and fear of abandonment. I think you could benefit from talking to someone professionally.

Klaus Mikaelson:
I think I prefer to talk to you. So, I'm going to offer you a job as my stenographer.

Camille O'Connell:
Okay. What am I writing?

Klaus Mikaelson:
My memoirs, of course. Someone should know my story. And it will give us time to discuss other riveting subjects, like your handsome suitor: Marcel.

Camille O'Connell:
[affronted] Excuse me? My private life is...

Klaus Mikaelson:
Your private life is, as it turns out, essential to my plans. You see, Marcel wants you. and because of that, he will trust you, which serves me. The thing is the French Quarter is on the verge of war. On the one side there's me and on the other, Marcel; along with a very powerful witch and an army of vampires.

Camille O'Connell:
[suddenly scared] What?

Klaus Mikaelson:
[compelling her] You're frightened... Don't be.

Camille O'Connell:
[calmly] I'm not cared anymore. That's amazing. How did you?

Klaus Mikaelson:
It's called compulsion. It's a neat bit of vampire trickery. I'll tell you all about it. But first, let's talk a little more about Marcel.
