Kathy Bates: Madame Delphine LaLaurie

Quotes 

• Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Yeah! I kept my eyes shut tight the entire time, vile negress. I didn't see a bit of it.

  Queenie : I'm not surprised. You kept your eyes closed your entire life. You can't keep your ears closed though. Not without no hands to cover them.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : What is that heinous caterwauling?

  Queenie : Something my grandma used to listen to. If this doesn't touch your soul, you don't have one.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : When will my perdition end?

  Queenie : When you learn something. You're one stubborn old lady head, you know.

• Marie Laveau : You think it's so easy. Stroll in here and expect we gonna fix this truce?

  Fiona Goode : Oh, to hell with the truce. What I'm looking for is an alliance. Your tribe, my coven, joined.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Are you insane?

  Marie Laveau : Uh! What the head said!

  Fiona Goode : [to LaLaurie]  I told you to shut up!

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : You can't make a deal with a darkie! You can't trust 'em as far as you can spit. Like I told the governor.

  Fiona Goode : [stuffs a crumpled piece of paper in LaLaurie's mouth]  Shut up!

• Queenie : Time for some sensitivity training.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : What fresh hell is this?

  Queenie : Roots: The Saga of an American Family. You are gonna watch all eight hours of it, followed by the sequel, Roots: The Next Generation.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Why don't you just throw my head in that fire pit? I wanna die! I'm ready.

  Queenie : Believe me, I'd love nothing more than to melt your ugly face right off your skull, but you are ignorant. And you're not leaving this earth until I educate you about those people you tortured: my people. We're gonna have ourselves a little film festival. You're gonna watch Mandingo, The Color Purple, and then my personal favorite - B*A*P*S, starring Miss Halle Berry. But first, based on the bestselling novel by the great black writer Alex Haley - one family's epic story, from slavery to freedom.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Oh, God.

  Queenie : Roots.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : No, no, no, not that jungle music.

  Queenie : Enjoy.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : No, no, no, turn it down! Oh, Lord! Ugh, no!
