The Best Monique Deveraux Quotes

Genevieve: The moon has almost faded from the morning sky.
[picks up ritual knife]
Genevieve: I need to prepare.
[goes on her way]
Witch: She'll go through with it. The ancestors promised her her life.
Monique: What about their promise to us? Four harvest girls sacrificed, four girls returned. But her friends hijack it, and ours have to stay dead? Cassie was our friend. I hope she doesn't go through with it. Then you and I can do what the ancestors want, and they'll give us Cassie. And drag Genevieve back to where she came from.

Oliver: [to the wallflower at party] Hey. You look...
Davina: 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: Her name is Monique.
[Davina exhales, and walks off]

Genevieve: New Orleans is full of ghosts. Our dead are always here hovering. When supernatural creatures die, they're doomed to spend eternity alone watching the world go on without them. Of course, that's not the case for the ancestral witches. We linger in a different way. Consecrated in the Earth, replenishing its power.
Davina: What about humans?
Genevieve: Some find peace. Some... don't. I have to make an appearance at the priest's wake. You three head back to the lycée. Take some time to think about the spirits who might still be walking alongside you.
[two leave]
Monique: I don"t know why we're supposed to care about Kieran O"Connell.
Genevieve: We care because when a pillar of our community passes, Monique, you call a cease fire and pay respects.
Monique: Or you just wanna see Klaus. You two are getting cozy.
Genevieve: I need the Mikaelsons to trust me so I can get close enough.
Monique: To kill their baby?
Genevieve: [sigh] To fulfil my obligation to our ancestors. Go home, Monique.

Genevieve: And who put you in charge?
Monique: I communed with the ancestors. They said it's time for you to sacrifice yourself.
Genevieve: Of course. It will be an honor to fulfill my duty to our coven. But it's not quite my time yet.
Monique: The ancestors were very clear. We need for you to die so our community can have the full power of the Harvest.
Genevieve: Careful, Monique. Not so long ago, I was one of those ancestors. A spirit forced to watch as little by little witches surrendered everything to vampires. We may no longer live under Marcel's thumb, but I, for one, don't particularly enjoy answering to Elijah, either. Before I take my leave, I'd like to ensure that you have the power to control your own fate. The Mikaelson's mother, Esther, was a powerful witch. Her spell-book contains enchantments that we can use to our own ends. And I can steal it for our coven and will never be subjugated again. You'll have your sacrifice. But I have things to do before I die.
