Even though the show has concluded, the library remains open.

No, b—-!

I do not give you my blessing.

Pose

Dominique Jackson as Elektra reading a b—- for filth on ‘Pose.'.FX

You’re not ready.

You’re second banana.

I give you that, but no more.

You’re way ahead of yourself in the game, beast.

“Your face looks like a wet weekend.

“(Season 1, Episode 8) Sorry, Blanca.

Mother is going to speak her mind.

Not in those bargain-basement Hush Puppies.

“Have you looked at your complexion?

Think of your skincare routine, if nothing else.

Gray is not a skin tone.

You have hit epidermal rock bottom.

“A crab in heels would have better poise.

“(Season 2, Episode 10) When Elektra was faced with an all-male ballroom council

“You’ve become too familiar, Hot Chocolate.

I don’t pay you to leave cracker crumbs in my bed.

“The category isnot’dictator realness.

“You’re the last person I expected to see here.

Isn’t there a sale going on down at the Payless you should be attending?

“Now, run home, Wonder Bread!

And take your ugly dog, too!

This ain’t the yellow brick road, b—-!

“(Season 2, Episode 7) Elektra to Frederica’s (Patti LuPone) nosy neighbor

10.

“This is not a brainstorming session.

You don’t think I know you’ve been seduced by the pipe?

You look like you’re deficient in vitamin D and shea butter.

“That win was pure luck.

… You are the Cracker Barrel to my Gucci and Saint Laurent.

“(Season 2, Episode 1) Elektra right before flipping a table at Friday night dinner

7.

“I’ve come prepared to gut you like the fish you’ll never be!

“(Season 2, Episode 2) Elektra threatening Candy (Angelica Ross) with a knife

“You’re all as useless as nuns in a whorehouse, except maybe you, Blanca dear.

Though, next to these two cinderblocks and sew-ins, even a traffic cone would look like Einstein.

“I know you have two faces, but three chins is remarkable!

“Now, Kisha.

Who you calling a boy?

Your real hair’s so short you could roll it with rice.

And what is that on your lips, Leesa?

Oh, it’s just your favorite lip gloss.

If not for pity, your closest proximity to a vagina would have been at your birth.

So, we can excuse the fact that you cannot see the royalty gracing your store.

Ladies, let’s go.

My coin is too good for this place.

But youyou haven’t heard the last from me.

[Claps his cheek] Watch your neck.

You two are about as fierce as my morning cornflakes.

You may have left my home, but you could’t leave me.

I’m in your mind, that voice saying, ‘You’re not good enough, little girl.

You’re not smart enough or tough enough or glamorous enough to make it in this world.’

You’re nothing but bags of rancid, rotting meat.

Well, take a long last look at this filet mignon.

I doubt we’ll be conversing ever againunless I take a sudden interest in dying of boredom.

We’re looking at you, Candy and Lulu.

[Pauses to sip from her water glass as she holds a finger up.]

Your uniform of ill-fitting J. I know our presence threatens you.

Now, pick your jaw up off the floor and go back to your clam chowder and shallow conversations.

My girlfriends and I aren’t going anywhere.
