Jamie Brewer: Nan

Quotes 

• Cordelia Foxx : Hello? Don't worry. You're amongst friends.

  Myrtle Snow : Of course I am, Cordelia. So long as Fiona isn't with you.

  Cordelia Foxx : Myrtle? Oh, my God. I thought I'd never see you again.

  Myrtle Snow : Poor choice of words, girl. But given my wretched appearance, maybe it's a good thing you're blind as a butter knife.

  Nan : How did your hair grow back so quick?

  Myrtle Snow : Oh, little bird, I've been buying in bulk from North Korea for years!

• 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.

• Nan : Why can't it be me?

  Madison Montgomery : Because you have no style and your pits smell like fish sticks.

  Nan : Do you think I could be the Supreme?

  [Everyone remains silent] 

  Nan : You guys suck balls.
