"We-we just met him the night before." "He seemed nice." "He died right after you left."

"Come on, give up." "I'm barely trying, you know." "In about ten seconds," "I'm going to turn the heat up in that chubby melon of yours, and I'm gonna turn your brains to scrambled eggs."

"Unless you want me to spit in a third cup." "(sighs) Good." "Now, I'm going to need you both to turn over whatever information you've gathered on these girls and never speak about it to anyone ever again." "Are we clear?" "Perfectly." "Do you think Fiona can fix it?" "You're such a goddamn idiot." "I can't believe you told them everything." "I'm supposed to be cleaning up my act." "When this gets out, I'm screwed." "Who cares?" "This is murder." "Like, multiple murders." "They're not gonna find any evidence that we messed with the bus because we didn't mess with the bus!" "What did you do to that shit-dick in the hospital though?" "Idiots." "Have you any idea what's going on out there?" "Now, I forgave your ham-handed mass murder business with the bus-- overexuberance of youth and all that-- but if you haven't got the goddamn brains to know that when strangers come asking questions, we close ranks," "then I fear our line is truly at an end." "But they knew so much already." "I couldn't toast a piece of bread with the heat they were putting on you." "You are soft." "You're emotional." "You care what people think." "Now, if there's one thing you learn before leaving this place, it's that we, even the weakest among us, are better than the best of them." "Are we gonna get arrested?" "You are missing the point." "Which is?" "The point is... in this whole wide wicked world, the only thing you have to be afraid of... is me." "I was supposed to play a cat burglar in this movie once, but the funding fell through." "But not before I learned how to do this." "Hold that." "(grunts)" "(clicks)" "Madison, what are we doing here?" "I'm gonna pay you back." "Pay me back?" "For what?" "I know what you did for me, dealing with that asshole, so I'm gonna return the favor." "Stole it out of Foxxy's stash." "It's in Latin." "What is this?" "Resurrection spell." "We're gonna bring your boyfriend back to life." "Oh, shit." "Guess that crash was even worse than I thought." "No, don't!" "(gasps)" "He's still kind of cute though." "Madison!" "Guess they're trying to figure out where everything goes." "Can we please just get out of here?" "Zoe, look around this room." "Okay, what do you see?" "A tragedy." "I see potential." "Look, nice legs over here, a great set of guns." "(chuckles) I wonder if he's a show-er or a grower." "What's your point, Madison?" "We take the best boy parts, we attach them to Kyle's head and we build the perfect boyfriend." "Is this just a joke to you?" "No, it's a challenge." "All we have to do is follow this recipe." "Find me a saw." "How's the oven?" "Ready for a bun?" "(chuckles)" "(chuckles)" "I wish I could say yes." "You've been taking the Clomiphene as directed?" "Yes." "And I was sure it must be working." "I had horrible cramps, hot flashes, blurry vision..." "Doc, what's the plan here?" "She goes through hell and it doesn't even work." "Hank..." "We've been at this for a year." "All I can do is stand around like an asshole while you get sick." "Well, unfortunately, the fertility drugs don't come with any guarantees." "I'll send your blood to the lab and we can consider other options." "Like what?" "Like in vitro fertilization." "(sighs) Doc, can I have a minute alone with my wife?" "Sure." "(door opens)" "(door shuts) Baby, if you want to try this, I'll support it." "But I don't get it." "I'm not ready to give up." "I should be able to have a baby just like any other woman." "I know it's horrible, but a lot of women do this." "When they have no choice." "(quietly):" "You have a choice." "If I start using magic to fulfill my every whim, then I'm just Fiona." "This isn't... a whim." "This is about us having a family." "You don't know what you're asking me to do." "This kind of magic-- it's... dark." "It's about life and death, and I don't want to play God." "So you're gonna let Dr. Morrison play God instead." "(door opens)" "Mmm... (sniffs) Doesn't that smell good?" "(chuckles)" "One thing" "I'll give my daughter-- she can fry up a chicken leg." "I imagine you're..." "a bit peckish after spending 180 years buried in a hole." "But then... you probably don't need to eat, being immortal." "Of course, sometimes we just like to do things because we enjoy them." "(chuckles) (mumbling)" "Do you wish to speak?" "What did you just say?" "About what?" "How long?" "180 years." "Easy to lose track," "I suppose." "That bitch." "That evil bitch." "Who?" "Who did it?" "I mean, they said you were poisoned, but... they obviously got that part wrong." "I was tricked." "By whom?" "That black devil." "LAVEAU:" "A love potion." "I offer it as a gift." "(gasps)" "(groans)" "(grunts)" "Louis?" "LAVEAU (outside):" "LaLaurie!" "Show yourself!" "You think you and this rabble can frighten me?" "I am Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie." "And you're nothing." "Your feeble attempt at poisoning me failed, nigger witch." "If I wanted you dead, you would be." "Where's my family?" "Return them to me." "They never left." "Oh, my..." "God." "(crying):" "What have you done?" "Oh, dear God." "Oh, God." "What have you done?" "God in Heaven." "(gasps)" "(panting)" "Oh..." "God." "Don't think that they didn't suffer because they did, greatly." "But the fate that I have planned for you will make their suffering seem as a gentle sleep." "It wasn't poison that I gave you but something far worse." "My gift to you, Madame LaLaurie, was life everlasting." "Immortality was in that bottle." "Bring her!" "(others shouting)" "My God..." "For your sins," "Madame LaLaurie, you are damned to live forever." "To never know the release of sweet death." "To never reunite with loved ones in the realm beyond." "But instead to be alone, sealed up in your unmarked grave for all eternity, listening to the world go on around you, even until that world is no more." "(cheering)" "(sighs)" "I'm sorry for your loss." "You want a bite?" "I'm not hungry." "I need a bowl and some hair from his head." "(strikes match)" "(gasps)" "Okay." "Breathe in the smoke." "(both inhaling)" "Aah!" "(both screaming)" "(gasps)" "Give me your hand." "Blood is our sacrament." "Calpriziana, offina alta nestra, fuero menut." "Azazel, we submit to you body and soul, the lord of the underworld, we offer you our obedience and everlasting devotion until death sanctifies this unholy union." "Did we just marry the Devil?" "'Cause I don't know if I'm down with that." "(Madison screams)" "Berald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba." "BOTH:" "Berald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba." "Berald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba." "Berald, Beroald, Balbin, Gab, Gabor, Agaba." "Return to the mortal coil!" "Arise!" "(both panting)" "Well, that was a bust." "You sure you said the spell correctly?" "Hey, I've been acting since I was five." "I know my lines." "I guess we're just not powerful enough." "Hey, I'll, I'll meet you in the car." "I, I left my phone in here somewhere." "Hurry up." "(door opens)" "(door closes)" "Shit." "Tough luck, bitch." "I'm so sorry, Kyle." "None of this would have happened if we weren't at that party." "My life has just been so out of control lately." "I wish I could have kept you out of it." "(door opens, Zoe gasps)" "Who's there?" "What the hell?" "Oh, Jesus Christ." "(clang)" "What the hell are you doing here?" "(snarls)" "(growling)" "Kyle, no, no!" "(indistinct chatter)" "Aah." "You're not used to having a... white woman in your chair, are you?" "I'm not used to having a white woman in this neighborhood." "Uh-uh, there's no smoking in here." "Most of that is real hair, more precious than gold." "We buy it by the pound." "Mm-hmm." "(hip hop playing over stereo)" "(laughs)" "Yeah, yeah." "(stereo clicks off)" "You look good, little mama." "All right, you get going home now." "I was just finishing." "All right, you all go home, too." "I'll finish this one myself." "(distorted speaking)" "Stop." "Stop it." "I don't like it, stop." "Stop." "You okay?" "Too much noise." "(distorted speaking continues)" "You think too loud." "It... is bothering me." "Just get out." "What the...?" "Oh, who are you?" "Out of my way, slave." "Who you calling a slave, bitch?" "Yo, who is this stinky old ...?" "So, have you owned this place long?" "What do you think?" "I think, when they say good black don't crack, they're not wrong." "What's your secret?" "What's yours?" "Your manicure cost more than my rent." "Woman like you wipes her ass with diamonds." "She don't just end up walking in here for hair extensions." "My, my, my, aren't you perceptive?" "You know exactly who I am and what I'm capable of, just like I know exactly what you are, witch." "I can smell the stink of it on you." "Well, I didn't expect you to like me." "(chuckles)" "I mean, after all, your kind and my kind have been going after each other for centuries, though it is kind of like a hammer going after a nail." "Everything you got, you got from us." "Tituba." "Voodoo slave girl who graced us with her black magic." "She couldn't tell a love potion from a recipe for chocolate chip cookies if she had to read it." "You made her a slave." "Before that she came from a great tribe-- the Arawak." "She learned the secrets of the other side from a 2,000-year-old line of shamans." "Necromancy-- she gave it to your girls of Salem." "A gift repaid with betrayal." "Please." "You want to tell me that some illiterate voodoo slave girl gave me my crown?" "Well, maybe you haven't heard the news about civilization starting in Africa." "We're more than just pins in dolls and seeing the future in chicken parts." "You've been reading too many tourist guides." "Speaking of tourist guides-- no more spray" "I have been to St. Louis Number 1 and I have seen the tomb of Laveau, seen the fat tourists from Little Rock to Hackensack drawing crosses on the bricks, making wishes to the bones of Marie Laveau." "(chuckles)" "Little do they know, all they have to do to get their wishes granted was come down here to the Ninth Ward and get their hair braided." "And what is your wish, witch?" "I want what you have, whatever it is that has kept you young all these years." "(laughs)" "The hammer wants the nail's magic." "Oh, that is rich." "Yeah, and you're going to give it to me because I have something you want." "You could offer me a unicorn that shit $100 bills, and I'd still never give you more than a headache." "Boys." "Hurry, get, get it, put it out." "Stop!" "I don't like it." "(fire extinguishers spraying)" "But we'll be in touch." "Such a lovely place you have here." "It's nice to see you doing so well after all these years." "I mean, maybe in another century... you could have two shithole salons." "CORDELIA:" "Jam tibi impero et principio maligne spiritus!" "Ut confestim allata et circulo discedas, absque..." "MAN:" "You think it's gonna work?" "Jesus, Hank, you scared the shit out of me!" "You shouldn't be in here." "You okay, baby?"

"Kyle!" "(groaning) Kyle!" "(truck horn blowing)" "I know..." "I know you know something's wrong." "Maybe this is too hard for anyone to hear, but..." "Kyle, you died." "Can-can you remember that?" "You know, you were on a bus, and-and there was an accident." "Sort of. (gasps)" "Like, it wasn't your..." "it wasn't your fault." "Okay, none of it was your fault." "We tried to put you together the best we could, and-and... (guttural yelling) Then we brought you back from the other side." "(guttural yelling) No!" "No, stop!" "Kyle!" "No!" "Kyle!" "(tire squealing) Stop!" "Look, okay, may..." "maybe it would have been better for you to stay dead." "I don't know." "But I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't try." "I forgive you." "(Zoe screams, tires squeal, Kyle yells)" "Even though you drew me out here." "(Zoe pants loudly)" "Turn around." "(gasps)" "Make a right." "ZOE:" "Do you really think that's going to work?" "I know it will." "This stuff is the shit..." "literally." "Louisiana swamp is full of Spanish moss and alligator dung." "Amazing healing properties." "Mother Nature has an answer for everything." "Healed me when I was burned alive." "You are Misty Day." "You're the witch Cordelia was telling us about." "Everyone thinks you're dead, but, of course, you're not." "You have the power of resurgence." "The power of resurgence." "I like the sound of that." "We have so much to teach each other, Zoe." "Maybe we do." "I always knew there were others like me, but I had no idea how to find you." "And then today," "I was meditating in the woods when my heart started racing, and my teeth started vibrating." "Something was calling to me." "I had no idea what it was, but..." "I knew I had to follow." "And it was you, Zoe." "Your magic called me there." "And I'm so grateful." "Now I'm not alone."
