"Why are you doing this?" "Because Reek has something to say to you." "Don't you, Reek?" "An apology." "Apologize to Lady Sansa for what you did." "Apologize for murding her two brothers." "I'm sorry." "Look at her, Reek." "An apology doesn't mean anything if you're not looking the person in the eye." " I'm sorry." " Ramsay:" "Sorry about what?" "For killing your brothers." "There, over and done with." "Doesn't everyone feel better?" "I do." "That was getting very tense." "Whew." "You know what, my lady?"

"I mean... how can you tell?" "Maester Wolkan has assured us beyond all doubt." "So how did you manage it?" "Manage what?" "Getting her pregnant." "I imagine you're familiar with the procedure." "Of course, but how did you... find it?" "You disgraced yourself at dinner parading that creature before the Stark girl." " And if it's a boy?" " (Chuckles)" "You're worried about your position." "My position is quite clear." "I'm your son until a better alternative comes along." "You've never asked me about your mother." "Why would I?" "She had me, she died." "And here we are." "She was a peasant girl." "Pretty in a common sort of way." "She was the miller's wife." "Apparently they had married without my knowledge or consent." "So I had him hanged and I took her beneath the tree where he was swaying." "She fought me the whole time." "She was lucky I didn't hang her, too." "A year later she came to my gates with a squalling baby in her arms." "A baby she claimed was mine." "I nearly had her whipped and the child thrown in the river." "But then I looked at you and I saw then what I see now." "You are my son." "Stannis Baratheon has an army at Castle Black." "But he won't stay for long." "He wants the Iron Throne, and the road to King's Landing comes right through Winterfell." "He means to take the North." "But the North is ours." "It's yours and mine." "Will you help me defeat him?" "Yes." "Is this every book there is?" "Every book there is?" " In the world." " Well, no." "There are thousands and thousands of books out there." "This library is rather small, actually." "Where you grew up, were there more books?" "My father's not the most literate man." "They say the Citadel has the largest library in the world." "Where's that?" "The Citadel?" "In Oldtown." "I'm sorry I don't know things." "Gilly, look at me." "You know how to do a hundred things I can never do." "You can build a fire with wet wood." "You can cook." "You can stitch a wound." "I can wash the linens." "I can sweep the floor." " Well..." " Why does the Citadel have the biggest library?" "It's where they train the maesters." "Like Maester Aemon?" "I wanted to be one when I was young." "Instead, I became a man of the Night's Watch." "Far more adventure up here anyway." "I wouldn't have met you." "(footsteps)" "Ah, Your Grace." "You're Samwell Tarly?" "I am, Your Grace." "Your father is Randyll Tarly." "He defeated my brother at the Battle of Ashford." "Only battle Robert ever lost." "I told him he shouldn't go so far west so soon, but he never listened." "Fine soldier, your father." "You don't look like a soldier." "But I'm told you killed a white walker." "I did, Your Grace." "How?" "With a dagger made of dragonglass." "Dragonglass?" "What the maesters call obsidian." "I know what it is." "We have it in Dragonstone." "Why would obsidian kill a walker?" "I don't know." "I've been going through all the old manuscripts hoping to find something, and all I've learned is that the children of the forest used to hunt with dragonglass." "The Lady Melisandre told me that death marches on the Wall." "I've seen it, Your Grace." "Seen what?" "The army of the dead." " And when they come" " We have to know how to fight them." "Keep reading, Samwell Tarly." "It's time." "Uh, Your Grace." "Wouldn't it be better to wait?" "When Jon Snow returns with the wildlings, we could have thousands more men." "If Jon Snow returns with the wildlings." "We can't wait that long." "We have the advantage-- more men, more horses, all fed and rested." "But every day we wait, the odds shift in Bolton's favor." "This could turn to winter at any moment." "We have to act now." "Give the order." "We march at sunrise." "I'll choose a dozen men to stay and guard the queen and the princess." "No need." "They're coming with us." "It's a tough road ahead, Your Grace." " Won't they be safer" " Here?" "Half these watchmen are killers and rapists." "No, they march with us." "As you wish, Your Grace."

"Is there going to be a battle?" "Aye, princess, but you won't be anywhere near" "That's enough talk of battle, Ser Davos." "You'll scare the child." "Davos:" "Yes, my queen." " I'm not scared." " Well, I am." "When the battle comes, promise you'll protect me." "I promise." "I hope you know what you're doing with these wildlings." "I need those ships." "You'll get them back, I swear it."

"Now you have given the Masters what they deserve." "If I give everyone what they deserve," "I'll have no one left to rule." "Ser Barristan counseled mercy when I took this city right up to the morning he died." "Daario Naharis thinks I should kill the former Masters and let the rest of the city fend for itself." "What do you think?" "Your Grace, I think that I am not fit to have an opinion on these matters." "You are as fit as anyone I know." "You know why I'm here." "And you know who will suffer the most if this all falls apart." "So what do you think?" "I can only tell you what I have seen, Your Grace." "I have seen you listen to your counselors." "I have seen you lean on their experience when your own was lacking and weigh the choices they put before you." "And I have seen you ignore your counselors... because there was a better choice." "One that only you could see." "My-- my queen, please do not do this." "What about "valar morghulis"?" "I did not want to die a coward." "Apparently I do not want to die at all." "(sniffles)" "It takes courage to admit fear." "And to admit a mistake." "I came here to tell you that I was wrong." "I was wrong and you were right." "About tradition." "About bringing the people of this city together." "I will reopen the fighting pits." "To free men only." "Slavery will never return to Meereen, not while I live." "Yes, my queen." "And in order to forge a lasting bond with the Meereenese people," "I will marry the leader of an ancient family." "Thankfully a suitor is already on his knees." "Don't worry." "I'll be fine." "Nothing broken, I don't think." "Where are we now?" "Not the Rhoyne." "Long, sullen silences and an occasional punch in the face." "The Mormont way." "Let's start over." "I apologize for before." "My mouth sometimes runs away from me." "This doesn't have to be an unpleasant trip." "We're going to be spending a lot of time together on the way to Meereen." "We are." "What would make our time together truly enjoyable would be some wine." "No wine." "I am a person who drinks." "People who drink need to keep drinking." "Otherwise, they're not..." "I know where we are." "You're taking us through Valyria." "I am." "Have you sailed this route before?" "No." "You're going to bring Daenerys a souvenir from her ancestral homeland in case I'm not enough?" "I think you'll be plenty." "You know what they say." "The Doom still rules Valyria." "What about the demons and the flames?" "Aren't you afraid of the Doom?" "Jorah:" "No." "But pirates are." "Oh." "Tyrion:" "The Smoking Sea." "How many centuries before we learn how to build cities like this again?" "Thousands of years the Valyrians were the best in the world at almost everything." "And then..." "And then they weren't." "And then they weren't." ""They held each other close and turned their backs upon the end."

"You?" "I've seen greyscale before, but nothing like that." "I suppose that's why they send them there." "It'd be kinder to put daggers in their hearts and be done with it." "Thank you for saving me." "Of course, I wouldn't have needed saving if you hadn't kidnapped me in the first place." "So what now?" "We walk up the coast." "With luck, we'll find a fishing village." "Maybe another boat." "Without luck?" "We've got a long walk ahead of us." "I'll get some wood for a fire." "Try to get some rest, huh?" "That's the best idea you've had all day."
