Magda/Rio/Elsa/Alex - Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)

[mercymaker]

“Madga can create homunculi, who presumably act as extensions of herself. She notably created one to manipulate Dr. Peter Craft in her guise as Elsa. This homunculus had the appearance and manner of a small male child, and was able to answer questions independently. It appeared human enough that even a trained physician believed it was human. Magda absorbed the homunculus back into herself when it wasn't needed”

Magda in Day of the Dead (1x10)

There will come a time when the world is ready for me, when nation will battle nation, when race will devour race, when brother... will kill brother, until not a soul is left. Are you ready, Tiago Vega?

Magda in Wicked Old World (1x03)

You take what you want. You make your way up. You use your brains. You use your nerve. No one's going to give us anything, Rico, so we make them. First, we make them look. Then, we make them scared. We are Pachuco. We are Chicano. We are Aztec. We are Spade. We are Wop. We are Dago. We are Chink. We are Queer. We are everything they fear. And we go out dancing.

Magda in Sing, Sing, Sing (1x09)

I love you, sir, and Kurt loves you. Of that, I have no doubt. Further still, the people of this city will love you again. You're going to save them, you see? You're going to give them that beautiful future. You must. It's your birthright. You have only one card left to play, and you must. The destiny of Los Angeles depends on it.

Magda in Children of the Royal Sun (1x05)

We are the sons and daughters of Tenochtitlan. We sacrificed human hearts to the sun to quench the thirst of the sky, unconquerable for a thousand years. And then another world, in floating mountains from Spain, with thunder in their Gospels and hot slaughter in their cannons, arrived on our shores, and the two worlds of the world met... brown and white, Aztec and European, Hummingbird Wizard and Jesus, Malinche and the Virgin Mary. And they begat the children of the royal sun... whose manifestation is the royal Pachuco, whose coat of arms, whose profane declaration, whose poem to the ancestors, are the holy drapes, the warrior's armor.

Magda | Alex | Elsa | Rio

I am Berlin. I was Berlin. Now I’m Boyle Heights with the Jews. It is hard for us there… for me and Frank. It is difficult in this place for us. My husband, he is American. He’s like all Americans here. He listens to the wrestling on the radio. He drinks his beer. He is curious about nothing. He knows nothing. My husband says I have to be American.
