Like a Stoned-Ass Baby

[DOLORES] And this is the other thing
that you got really wrong, okay?
'Cause you're up there just
snapping motherfuckers' necks
like it's nothing.
Killing somebody is hard work.
That first one,
I didn't even know what I was doing yet.
But in that split second,
in my little spa basement,
staring into that man's eyes,
everything turns.
And we both know very, very clearly
that one of us is gonna have to die.

- Oh, fuck!
[DOLORES] So, I got to
find the jugular, right?
'Cause choking's the breathing,
but strangulation is
blood flow to the brain.
That's way faster.
Tabitha taught me that, too.
Oh, shit.
He thinks he can win this.
[GRUNTING]
You think you're gonna fucking win this?
- [GURGLING]
- That's right.
That's right, motherfucker.
[DOLORES] Like a pathetic little animal.
But I'm Dolores motherfucking Roach!
And I never had a shot, but I will be
the last goddamn one in the room,
and not you or any fucking body else
is ever gonna take
anything away from me,
ever again.
Ever again!

Did Luis tell you what was in those?
Um, I think it's mostly pork.
"Mostly."
I don't know, he said he
had to start going through
some new butcher for some reason,
and, like, it gave him this idea,
and he told me to come out,
just remind people we're still here,
that we're still part of the community.
And, you know, we're not
just an empanada shop,
but Luis is a misunderstood
culinary visionary.

the more it looks like we

hiding in plain sight.
Hiding in plain sight, huh?

Did Luis tell you what was in those?
Um, I think it's mostly pork.
"Mostly."
I don't know, he said he
had to start going through
some new butcher for some reason,
and, like, it gave him this idea,
and he told me to come out,
just remind people we're still here,
that we're still part of the community.
And, you know, we're not
just an empanada shop,
but Luis is a misunderstood
culinary visionary.
