Marie Laveau
- 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.
