Massacres and Matinees

American Horror Story: Freak Show

4×4

& Jimmy: They don’t even know us. If they just got to know us, they would see we’re just like them. No better, no worse, just... regular people.

& Gloria: You can’t live on sweets and cognac, Dandy. beauIt’s bad for the temperament.

& Desiree: They’re lower than us, freaks.
    Elsa: «Us freaks»?
    Desiree: Three titties, proper girl parts and a ding-a-ling. I’m a full blown hermaphrodite. Put that on your banner.
    Elsa: My word. What does that make you?
    Dell Toledo: The happiest man on Earth.
    Elsa: You are an enchanting couple.

& Desiree: Me and Dell? Uh, we saw this act down in Mexico. This senorita, could shoot ping pong balls right out of her... What? At least I’m trying to come up with something!

& Elsa: Nein. No matinees. No. No. People don’t come to see freaks in the heat of day. They come in the evening. When the darkness moves in and speaks of mystery. The unknown. When logic loosens its vice grip and the imagination comes out to play. The night allows the stars to shine and we come alive. No. Daytime is for kiddie shows. Clowns and kewpie dolls... You’re in a real freak show now. My freak show!

& Waitress: You’re back.
    Jimmy: Yes, ma’am. And I brought some friends this time.
    Waitress: ....W-What do you want?
    Jimmy: Well, this is a diner, ain’t it? We’re hungry. And we want to be served.

& Jimmy: Remember, everyone, manners matter. Use your forks. Napkins on the lap.
