Pote: Listen, Kelly Anne. This war with LaFayette, it’s really bad. I would like you to go and stay with Cheecho’s mom in uptown.
Kelly Anne: I’m not going anywhere. This is my family.
Pote: I know it is but Teresa needs your help with the business, not with a gun.

It didn’t have to be like this. If you’d trusted me I could have protected you but now I can’t.

Teresa

Mendoza’s smart enough to cover her ass and we have no idea what she’s got on us. Let’s not poke the bear until we have to, and when we do, we’ll keep our hands clean. Marcel will get the job done; she won’t see it coming.

LaFayette

There’s only one way to be safe in this business, to become powerful enough that no one can touch you.

Teresa

Javier’s not running, he’s a cartel soldier. He knows he disobeyed the boss' orders and lied to her to boot. Look, he’s good with whatever you decide.

George

I’ve indulged you, Miss Mendoza. I’ve let you and all the riffraff in your organization walk around my city like you belong here, and it appears that my reward for not showing you my teeth is you forgetting your place, little lady. Well, let me tell you something, if you don’t hand over your man, I will hand you your head.

LaFayette

Oksana: Kostya is a very cautious man. It is rare that he meets somebody face to face. He does not trust people outside his circle.
Teresa: I understand that.
Oksana: I do not think you do, Teresa. If Kostya pays you a surprise visit, he’s the last person you will ever see.

Davis: You’re the only person she wanted to talk to. She tried to call you just before Randall pulled her from the truck.
Javier: It was Randall who killed her?
Davis: He does all the dirty work.

Gina: He trusts me. Kind of treats me like a pet. I was doing time for solicitation and the judge got me out on early parole, so he lets me know every chance he gets that he can send me back whenever he wants.
Pote: You’re a pet in a cage.
Gina: I hate him.

Boaz: Javi, make sure the bastard dies a painful death.
Javier: It will be done.

You got Tony killed! You almost got Teresa killed. Now, you will die, Cabron.

Pote

Working with you, Patrona, has been good. I owe that to you. Salud.

Javier

Queen of the South Season 4 Quotes

No one gives you a manual on how to be the boss, so every difficult decision falls on you, and when your people fail you, as hard as it is, you have no choice but to let them go.

Teresa

Running a cartel is like driving a motorcycle a hundred miles an hour in traffic, any miscalculation, any mistake can have fatal consequences.
