Quotes 

• Cordelia Foxx : Why are there roses in here?

  Fiona Goode : I thought you might enjoy them. They're the very last of your heirlooms.

  Cordelia Foxx : Roses pull in love and romance. That's not what I'm looking for right now. I need chrysanthemums. All kinds of them, for strength and protection.

• Cordelia Foxx : Who is she? Who is the redhead?

  Hank Foxx : Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby. I don't know what you're talking about.

  Cordelia Foxx : Enough bullshit! Anything else you want to tell me now? Because I will see it sooner or later. I had to go blind to see things about you I couldn't see before. A bad cosmic joke. It's a different kind of clarity, an absolute clarity I've never had. The images almost vibrate with light.

  Fiona Goode : Thank Christ she's finally got your number.

  Hank Foxx : She's high as a kite. You know what they gave her before we left the hospital?

  Cordelia Foxx : I'm high all right, but it's not the drugs. And rest assured, you will be accountable for every single betrayal, no matter how deep you think your secrets are buried. Now get out of here. Get out!

  Hank Foxx : Baby. You're my... you're my heart.

  Fiona Goode : I'd get out while you still can, Jughead.

• Cordelia Foxx : Who are you? What do you want?

  The Axeman : Release.

  Cordelia Foxx : I can't do that.

  The Axeman : Don't think so, dirty pussy cat? Goddamn witches. They ended me once, right here in this very room. And for years after, the parties and the music and the dancing raged wild outside while I sat trapped inside these four ugly walls. Now, last night, this sweet young witch comes along and offers me my release, and I said, "Oh, yes, ma'am, yes, please. What do you need?" She asks her favor, and I provide. The thing is, when the time comes for her to ante up, bitch lies, leaving me betwixt, between and ready to pop.

  Cordelia Foxx : You died?

  The Axeman : Uh-huh.

  Cordelia Foxx : And now you're trapped.

  The Axeman : Right here with you.

  Cordelia Foxx : The only way I can help you is if you let me out of here.

  The Axeman : No. Nobody leaves this room. You see, I had a... a contract. Promises were made, and all you've got to do is sing and dance, and call the witches who owe me my freedom. And I'll provide the music.

• Cordelia Foxx : Go to hell.

  The Axeman : Ladies first.

• Cordelia Foxx : I wanted to sever his arms and throw him out the window. I had to stop myself.

• Cordelia Foxx : Why didn't you tell me?

  Fiona Goode : What? What? What did you see?

  Cordelia Foxx : Auntie Myrtle.

  [crying] 

  Fiona Goode : I wanted to tell you, Delia, but you were in so much pain, and I didn't want to add to it.

  Cordelia Foxx : Burned at the stake.

  Fiona Goode : Yes. For what she did to you, yes.

  Cordelia Foxx : No. That cannot be.

  Fiona Goode : I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I think it's best if I let you be alone for awhile.

• Billie Dean Howard : I had to go blind to see things about you, I couldn't see before. A bad cosmic joke. It's a different kind of clarity, an absolute clarity, I've never had. The images almost vibrate with light.
