"If my Uncle Stannis lands on the shores of King's Landing," "I'll ride out to greet him." "A brave choice, Your Grace." "I'm sure your men will line up behind you." "They say Stannis never smiles." "I'll give him a red smile from ear to ear." "Imagine Stannis's terror." "I am trying." "You're an intelligent man." "I'd like to think I'm an intelligent man." "Oh, no one disputes that, My Lord, not even the multitudes who despise you." "I wish we could converse as two honest, intelligent men." "I wish we could, too." "What do you want?" "Tell me." "If we're going to play, you'll have to start." "My brother was the youngest Kingsguard in history." "My sister became queen at the age of 19." "When I reached manhood, my father put me in charge of all the drains and cisterns in Casterly Rock." "A most highborn plumber." "The water never flowed better." "And all the shit found its way to the sea." "I never expected to have any real power." "So when my father named me acting Hand" "You're quite good at being Hand, you know?" "Jon Arryn and Ned Stark were good men, honorable men, but they disdained the game and those who played." " You enjoy the game." " I do." "Last thing I expected." "And you play it well." "I'd like to keep playing it." "If Stannis breaches the gates, the game is over." "They say he burns his enemies alive to honor the Lord of Light." "The Lord of Light wants his enemies burned, the drowned God wants them drowned." "Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts?" "Where is the God of tits and wine?" "In the Summer Isles, they worship a fertility goddess with 16 teats." "We should sail there immediately." "This morning I heard a song all the way from Qarth beyond the Red Waste." "Daenerys Targaryen lives." "A girl at the edge of the world is the least of our problems." "She has three dragons." "But even if what they say is true, it'll be years before they are fully grown." "And then there will be nowhere to hide." "One game at a time, my friend." "( Men shouting )" "Jorah:" "Careful, Khaleesi." "Xaro owns this city and the warlocks have 1,000 eyes watching for you." "I found one-- a ship with a good captain." "She leaves for Astapor tomorrow." " Astapor?" " We cannot stay here." "They have my dragons." "A mother does not flee without her children." "They're not your children." "I know they call you the Mother of Dragons and I know you love them, but you didn't grow them in your womb." "They didn't suckle at your breast." "They are dragons, Khaleesi." "And if we stay in Qarth, we'll die." "You should sail to Astapor." "I'm sure you'll be safe there." "You know I would die for you." "I will never abandon you." "I'm sworn to protect you, to serve." "Then serve me." "If my dragons are in the House of the Undying, then take me there." "That's what the warlock wants." "He told you so himself." "If you enter that place, you will never leave again." " His magic is strong." " And what of my magic?" "You saw me step into the fire." "You watched the witch burn." "What did the flames do to me?" "Do you remember?" "Until my last breath I will remember." "After I have forgotten my mother's face." "They are my children." "And they are the only children I will ever have." "Take me to them." "We should bury them." "I'd leave 'em up a few more days." "Sends a message." "If they haven't got the damn message yet, a few more days won't help." "As you say." "But it don't hurt to let 'em rot a while longer." "What's this?" "Gold for the farmer." "For his trouble." "His troubles are done." "He's feeding the crops now." "His wife, too." "You want to keep a man silent, you silence him." "Got as far as the farm and then doubled back." "Walked through the stream to throw off the hounds." "Hoped this would be the last place they'd think to look." "You're right... so far." "Who was that out there hung up the gates?" "Must have been the farmer's boys." "He killed them and burned them and passed them off as the little lords?" "Shh, shh, shh." "They mustn't know." "Bran would blame himself." "Osha:" "They'll never hear it from me." "The little lads have suffered enough." "( Theme music playing )" "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
