You’ve worked so hard to build what you have here. If you run, you’ll be starting over. I can’t let that happen to you. You’ve been so good to me, Patrona. You’ve given me a home, a family I can trust. I owe you more than you know.

Javier

Pote: The other day he thought I fell asleep here on the couch. He pulled out a gun on me.
Kelly Anne: He what? What did you do?
Pote: Nothing, I just lay here waiting for him to pull the trigger but he couldn’t, not yet, at least.
Kelly Anne: So you were just going to let him kill you.
Pote: All my life I’ve lived by the sword, I figure I’ll die by it too.

Pote: I took his father away from him. If someday he has the courage to pull the trigger, it’s okay by me. I’ve made my peace with it.
Kelly Anne: No, that’s not okay with me. You don’t get to go around making crazy decisions without even considering the people who love you.
Pote: You love me? I don’t deserve that.
Kelly Anne: Yes, you do. You are the kindest, sweetest man I’ve ever met.
Pote: I’m also a murderer.
Kelly Anne: Yeah. Well, so am I.

Tony: What’s it like to kill a person?
Pote: I hope you never have to find out, mijo. It’s a terrible thing.

Tony: I’m not your son, okay. My parents are dead.
Pote: When you grow up you’re going to realize that family’s not just blood, it’s the people you choose.
Tony: Yeah, well, I wish I could choose to have my real family back.

Teresa: Maybe you can get Tony to go outside.
Pote: I don’t do outside.

Tony: These people aren’t my family, you are. You say we’ve only got each other and then you’re always dumping me somewhere.
Teresa: I’m not dumping you. I trust Pote with my life.
Tony: If you say so.

Teresa: Listen, my life is so messy right now, and I can’t be honest with you. There are things that you don’t know and I can’t see you anymore.
Eddie: What are you talking about?
Teresa: I think it’s better we stop.

You are both killers and I’m a fool for believing you both. Oh God, what did I get myself in to?

Emilia

Part of taking a life is dealing with the aftermath. This is not one of your video games. This is nasty, this is dirty, it’s real and you need to see that.

Pote

Javier: Are we crazy to want something different in this life?
Teresa: I don’t know.

Javier: My cousin killed his own brother like it was nothing just to seize power. Imagine what he would do if he knew about Amelia.
Teresa: Boaz is my associate but you’re with me now.
Javier: Gracias. I don’t know how to thank you, Patrona.

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.
