Quotes2

  • Myrtle Snow: Mothballs and history. It's a cocktail I swoon for.
  • Misty Day: I feel like a queen.
  • Madison Montgomery: How does putting on this smelly old stuff help us get rid of Fiona?
  • Cordelia Foxx: It's part of a ceremony called the "Sacred Taking," which allows for the ascension of the new Supreme.
  • Zoe Benson: And we're sure Misty's the next Supreme?
  • Myrtle Snow: I'm certain of her credentials. She's brought back more people from the dead than Jesus Christ.
  • Madison Montgomery: [to Zoe] Disappointed? You thought it was you, didn't you?
  • Zoe Benson: Well, I knew it wasn't you, because when Fiona cut your throat, you died.
  • Nan: It could be any one of us.
  • Madison Montgomery: Not really. It's pretty obvious.
  • Nan: And what does that mean?
  • Cordelia Foxx: Being the Supreme isn't something to wish for. It's not a gift. It's a burden. How many of these women had happy lives? They had power, but with it came the responsibility of the coven. They all bowed under the weight, except my mother... who ran from it.
  • Misty Day: Can I say something? I don't want to be the Supreme.
  • Cordelia Foxx: Nobody gets to choose. When Fiona dies, whoever it is... will be.
  • Zoe Benson: This is so incredibly stressful and weird. You don't feel anything?
  • Misty Day: My stomach feels like a storm's about to hit, but it's probably just my nerves. I'm not exactly what you call a natural born leader.
  • Myrtle Snow: Neither was King George, but one rises to the occasion.
  • Cordelia Foxx: Your feet should be getting warmer.
  • Myrtle Snow: I'm told it starts as a tingle in the cooch.
  • Fiona Goode: For me, it was a classic migraine.
