Madame Delphine LaLaurie
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
