You are the kindest, most generous woman that I have ever known, with so much love in your heart that you have no idea what to do with it. And our baby, our baby, is going to love you as much as I love you.

Pote

You wouldn't want to bring a child into this world. Trust me, I know. Losing Kique was the worst thing that happened to me.

Boaz

You and me, it can’t happen. Maybe in some other life but not this one. I hope you understand.

Teresa [to James]

James: Pote warned me that you’d changed.
Teresa: It’s the only way to survive in this life.
James: Amen.

LaFayette: I suppose you’ll want me to resign.
Teresa: No, you work for me now. When I call, you answer on the second ring. You do exactly what I say, or I’ll destroy the only thing you have left—your family’s name.

Pote: You risked your life to be here, and you’re going to leave, just like that?
James: She doesn’t want me to stay.
Pote: She might not want you to stay, Cabron, but she needs you.

Oksana: Why didn’t you ask for my advice, Teresa? We could have prevented this mess.
Teresa: Because I don’t need your advice and I know how to run my business.

Teresa: We can’t lose the waterfront. Kostya had his chance. I’m done playing games.
Pote: We’re going to need more Mossad.

You bring me Dumas, or you’ll be the next Mexican I set on fire.

Lafayette [to Teresa]

Pote: It’s time for him to go, Teresita.
Kelly Anne: Pote’s right. He’s reckless. He’s going to try to hurt us however he can.
Pote: I have a nice plastic sheet waiting for him.

Boaz: Javier was my blood, not yours.
Teresa: He killed my godson. If I can wait, so can you. This isn’t a request.

A banker stole from me once. He’s no longer in business.

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.
