Camila: So why did you do it?
Teresa: Because now you have a choice, with nothing you don't. It was a gamble. I made it alone.
Camila: Well done, Teresa.

James: You saved me. Why?
El Guero: You kept her alive when I couldn't.
James: She kept herself alive.
El Guero: Hey, I'm not saying I'm not going to kill you, I'm just not going to kill you right now.

James: You're going to get her killed. She doesn't know who you really are, but I do. You don't deserve her.
El Guero: Do you?
James: I've been around people like you my whole life. Selfish, no loyalty.

Every time I turn my back you're doused in gasoline and juggling fire. You know that shit's a death sentence if you don't get back to Dallas tout suite.

King George

When I was in Afghanistan some of the guys used to say there's a different god for soldiers. One that judges hearts instead of deeds. He loved you.

James

El Guero: You're a coward.
James: I'm a coward?
El Guero: Did Camila take your balls or what, asshole?
James: And you're a rat, trading other people's lives for your own. You're the Judas.
El Guero: And who's the one trying to steal another man's woman?
James: You fucking child. This is business, but I guess if you were a real man she wouldn't have to beg to keep you alive.

El Santo: I will not be infested by your faithless deals.
Teresa: And yet here we are. We passed all of your tests or we wouldn't be standing here. Right? You know the soldiers took our money, or are you just curious?
El Santo: Perhaps.
Teresa: We'll take the ton.

El Santo: You have travelled all over the world. You've sold to carpenters and kings. Where does the serpent slip its fangs with the venom?
Guero: When grown men sell to children.
El Santo: No, no. No, no, no, no, no. When cocaine is treated with the reverence it deserves, it can make even children smile.

Teresa: What is this place? Who are these people?
El Santo: They are the believers.
Teresa: El Santo?
El Santo: Yes, some people call me that but it is a name that can never be taken. It must always, always be given.

This shit is like 3000 a bottle. What do you think, Bella, are we worth it?

Olivia

Camila: I take it you got your mask.
Epifanio: If this is some kind of threat?
Camila: No, it's a declaration.
Epifaino: Of war? You declared it once before and I'm still standing. One dead soldier changes nothing.
Camila: It's a declaration of independence, and one more thing, my Love. Next time you want to send me a personal message, leave our lawyers out of it.

La Capitana: My people are drowning in drugs, corruption, spiritual perversion and El Santo is the water pouring into their throats, and they only have me to protect them. I will kill anyone, everyone, who tries to hurt my country. It's the only home I have. You only have a few seconds before your men are dead. Give me El Santo.
Teresa: Go to Hell.

Queen of the South Quotes

You could say that I am living proof that the American dream is alive and well.

Teresa

My name is Teresa Mendoza. I am from Mexico. I was born poor, not that that's bad but take it from me, I've been poor and I've been rich. Rich is better.

Teresa
