"But a man without friends is a man without power." "For the sake of the mother who bore us, I will give you this one night to reconsider." "Strike your banners, come to me before dawn, and I will grant you your old seat in the Council." "I'll even name you my heir until a son is born to me." "Otherwise I shall destroy you." "Look across those fields, brother." "Can you see all those banners?" "You think a few bolts of cloth will make you king?" "RENLY:" "No." "The men holding those bolts of cloth will make me king." "We shall see, Renly." "Come the dawn, we shall see." "Look to your sins, Lord Renly." "The night is dark and full of terrors." "Would you believe I loved him once?" "I thought we were welcome."

"Might we see the dragons?" "My friend, we have traveled very far." "We have no food, no water." "Once I see my people fed, I would be honored..." "Forgive me, Mother of Dragons, but no man alive has seen a living dragon." "Some of my more skeptical friends refuse to believe your children even exist." "All we ask is the chance to see for ourselves." "I am not a liar." "Oh, I don't think you are." "But as I've never met you before, my opinion on the matter is of limited value." "Where I come from, guests are treated with respect, not insulted at the gates." "Then perhaps you should return to where you come from." "We wish you well." "What are you doing?" "You promised to receive me." "We have received you." "Here we are, and here you are." "If you do not let us in, all of us will die." "Which we shall deeply regret." "But Qarth did not become the greatest city that ever was or will be by letting Dothraki savages through its gates." "Khaleesi, please be careful." "Thirteen!" "When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me." "We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground." "Turn us away and we will burn you first." "Ah." "You are a true Targaryen." "Only, as you said a moment ago, if we don't let you into the city, you will all die." "And so..."

"I am one of the Thirteen, and I am still speaking." "The girl threatens to burn our city to the ground and you would invite her in for a cup of wine?" "She is the Mother of Dragons." "Do you expect her to watch her people starve without breathing fire?" "I believe we can allow a few Dothraki through our gates without dooming our city." "After all, here I am, a savage from the Summer Isles, and Qarth still stands." "Our decision is final." "Very well." "I invoke soumai." "I will vouch for her, her people, and her dragons, in accordance with the law." "Be it on your head." "Welcome to Qarth, my lady." "mountain:" "You."

"What am I to make of that?" "I don't care what you make of it, so long as you release your prisoner immediately." "And you've received these instructions directly from Cersei?" "As I said several times." "And you've waited this long to deliver the information?" "When the Queen Regent gives me a command, I carry it out without delay." "Cersei must have great trust in you, allowing you into her chamber during the hour of the wolf." "The Queen Regent has a great many responsibilities." "She often works from dusk till dawn." "She must be very glad to have you helping her from dusk till dawn." "Ah." "Lavender oil." "She always loved lavender oil, even as a girl." "I am a knight!" "An anointed knight, yes." "Tell me, did Cersei have you knighted before or after she took you into her bed?" "What?" "Nothing to say?" "No more warnings for me, ser?" "You will withdraw these filthy accusations." "Have you ever given any thought to what King Joffrey will have to say when he finds out you've been bedding his mother?" "It's not my fault!" "Did she take you against your will?" "Can you not defend yourself, knight?" "Your own father, Lord Tywin, when I was named the King's squire, he told me to obey her in everything." "Did he tell you to fuck her, too?" "I only meant I did as I was bid." "Hated every moment of it, is that what you'll have me believe?" "A high place in court, a knighthood, my sister's legs spreading open for you at night." "Oh, yes, it must have been terrible." "Wait here." "His Grace will want to hear this." "Mercy!" "Mercy, my lord!" "I beg you." "Save it for Joffrey." "He loves a good grovel." "My lord, it was your sister's bidding, the Queen." "I'll leave the city at once, I swear." "No, I think not." "My lord?" "You heard me." "My father told you to obey my sister." "Obey her." "Stay close to her side." "Keep her trust." "Pleasure her whenever she requires." "No one ever need know, as long as you keep faith with me." "I want to know what Cersei is doing, where she goes, who she sees, what they talk of, everything." "And you will tell me." "Yes, my lord, I will." "I swear it, as you command." "Oh, rise, rise." "Let us drink to our understanding." "Oh, you don't have a cup." "Oh, well." "Smile, cousin." "My sister is a beautiful woman, and it's all for the good of the realm." "Go back and tell her that I beg her forgiveness, that I want no more conflict between us and that, henceforth, I shall do nothing without her consent." "But her demands?" "Oh, I'll give her Pycelle." "You will?" "Yes, I'll release him in the morning." "Cersei can keep him as a pet, if she wants, but I will not have him on the Council." "I could swear that I had not harmed a single hair on his head, but that would not, strictly speaking, be true." "(WOOD CREAKlNG)" "MAN:" "Stay within one table length." "Your Grace."

"Never understood why you had to wear them." "It reminds me of where l come from and where l am now." "It reminds me of yourjustice." "It was an honest punishment and you were good with the cleaver." "You were a hero and a smuggler." "A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad the good." "A lesson I've tried to teach my son." "Does he listen?" "To me?" "Gods, no." "But if your red woman told him to leap from the crow's nest..." "She has a name." "I trust you've not forgotten your smuggler's tricks." "I've lived within the law for 1 7... I want you to be a smuggler this time." "Any shore, any night." "What am I bringing ashore?" "The red woman." "No one must know what you do and we'll not speak of this again." "I am true to Your Grace and always will be, but surely there are other ways, cleaner ways." "Cleaner ways don't win wars." "Are you afraid, Onion Knight?" "Someone once told me the night is dark and full of terrors." "You've carried more unpleasant cargo in your time." "Are you a good man, Ser Davos Seaworth?" "I'd say my parts are mixed, my lady, good and bad." "If half an onion is black with rot, it's a rotten onion." "A man is good or he is evil." "And which are you?" "Oh, good." "I'm a knight myself, of sorts, a champion of light and life." "Well, that must be very nice for you." "Do you love your wife?" "l do." "Yet you have known other women." "Don't talk about my wife." "I'm not. I'm talking about other women." "Like me, Ser Davos." "You want me." "You want to see what's beneath this robe." "And you will." "Strange that this Lord of Light asks you to work in the shadows." "Shadows cannot live in the dark, Ser Davos." "They are servants of light, the children of fire." "And the brighter the flame, the darker they are." "These weren't here before." "They've barred the passage." "They can't bar our passage." "Gods protect us."
