Kathy Bates: Madame Delphine LaLaurie

Quotes 

• Queenie : Ain't they feeding you?

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : All they ever do is bleed me for her poultice. Come tomorrow, I'm gonna be dry as a bone. Whatever did I do to deserve this betrayal? Didn't you like my pot pie and my peach crumble I learned how to make just for you? You put me in here. You can get me out. Only for a minute, just so I can stretch my legs. This cage is just unfit for a human.

  Marie Laveau : Which is why it's so perfect for you! What I told you about feeding the animals, Queenie?

  Queenie : I'm sorry, reine.

• Marie Laveau : You know, when I had the idea to have you brought back to me, I thought of all the many ways I could dispose of you. But I've found it give me great pleasure just to know you in a cage.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Shut your mouth, Negress. Bring me something to drink in a clean glass, so I can enjoy my food in silence.

  Marie Laveau : I'm not your damn maid! And if I were you, I wouldn't be so eager to show my arrogance from that side of the cage.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : What you gonna do? Kill me? I can't die.

  [laughs] 

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Eh, throw me back in the box. I've seen enough of this world. I'll take no part in a country that has a darkie in the White House. Hundred years from now, when they dig me up again, the natural order will be restored.

  Marie Laveau : You think I only have those two choices? The mistake you make is from a lack of imagination.

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : I'm not afraid of you. I wouldn't give you that satisfaction. Ahh!

  [Marie hacks off Delphine's hand] 

  Madame Delphine LaLaurie : Dear God! Oh, my God!

  Marie Laveau : You know, you're right, Delphine. This gave me no satisfaction. But we've only just begun.
