Mark Addy: Robert Baratheon

Quotes 

• Robert Baratheon : [to Joffrey]  You let that little girl disarm you?

• [Robert, Ned, and their escorts rest during the journey to King's Landing] 

  Robert Baratheon : Gods, this is country! I've half a mind to leave them all behind and keep going.

  Eddard Stark : I've half a mind to go with you.

  Robert Baratheon : What do you say, just you and me on the Kingsroad, swords at our sides, a couple of tavern wenches to warm our beds tonight.

  Eddard Stark : You should have asked me 20 years ago.

  Robert Baratheon : Heh. There were wars to fight, women to marry. We never had the chance to be young.

  Eddard Stark : I recall a few chances.

  Robert Baratheon : [sharing a laugh]  There was that one... oh, what was her name? That common girl of yours? Becca? With the great big tits you bury your face in.

  Eddard Stark : Bessie. She was one of yours.

  Robert Baratheon : Bessie! Thank the gods for Bessie and her tits. Yours was, uh... Aleena? No. You told me once. Uh, Meryl? Your bastard's mother.

  Eddard Stark : Wylla.

  Robert Baratheon : That's it. She must have been a rare wench to make Lord Eddard Stark forget his honor. You never told me what she looked like.

  Eddard Stark : Nor will I.

  Robert Baratheon : We were at war. None of us knew if we were gonna go back home again. You're too hard on yourself. You always have been. I swear if I weren't your king, you'd have hit me already.

  Eddard Stark : The worst thing about your coronation, I'll never get to hit you again.

  Robert Baratheon : Trust me, that's not the worst thing.

• Robert Baratheon : There was a rider in the night.

  Eddard Stark : [taking a parchment note]  Daenerys Targaryen has wed some Dothraki horselord. What of it? Should we send her a wedding gift?

  Robert Baratheon : A knife perhaps, a good sharp one, and a bold man to wield it.

  Eddard Stark : She's little more than a child.

  Robert Baratheon : Oh, soon enough that child will spread her legs and start breeding.

  Eddard Stark : Tell me we're not speaking of this.

  Robert Baratheon : Oh, it's unspeakable to you? What her father did to your family, that was unspeakable. What Rhaegar Targaryen did to your sister, the woman I loved. I'll kill every Targaryen I get my hands on.

  Eddard Stark : But you can't get your hands on this one, can you?

  Robert Baratheon : This Khal Drogo, it's said he has 100,000 men in his horde.

  Eddard Stark : Even a million Dothraki are no threat to the realm, as long as they remain on the other side of the Narrow Sea. They have no ships, Robert.

  Robert Baratheon : There are still those in the Seven Kingdoms who call me usurper. If the Targaryen boy crosses with a Dothraki horde at his back, the scum will join him.

  Eddard Stark : He will not cross. And if by chance he does, we'll throw him back into the sea.

  Robert Baratheon : There's a war coming, Ned. I don't know when, I don't know who we'll be fighting, but it's coming.

• Robert Baratheon : Now, child... tell me what happened. Tell it to all and tell it true. It's a great crime to lie to a king.

  Sansa Stark : I don't know. I don't remember. Everything happened so fast. I didn't see.

  [Arya grabs Sansa by the hair] 

  Arya Stark : Liar! Liar, liar, liar!

  Eddard Stark : Hey, stop it! That's enough of that.

  Arya Stark : Liar, liar, liar!

  [Ned pulls his daughters apart] 

  Eddard Stark : Stop! Arya!

  Cersei Lannister : She's as wild as that animal of hers. I want her punished.

  Robert Baratheon : What would you have me do, whip her through the streets? Damn it, children fight. It's over.

• [Arya is falsely accused of an unprovoked attack on Joffrey] 

  Robert Baratheon : Ned, see to it that your daughter is disciplined. I'll do the same with my son.

  Eddard Stark : Gladly, Your Grace.

  Cersei Lannister : And what of the direwolf? What of the beast that savaged your son?

  Robert Baratheon : I'd forgot the damned wolf.

  Jaime Lannister : We found no trace of the direwolf, Your Grace.

  Robert Baratheon : No? So be it.

  Cersei Lannister : We have another wolf.

  Robert Baratheon : As you will.

  Eddard Stark : You can't mean it.

  Robert Baratheon : A direwolf's no pet. Get her a dog. She'll be happier for it.

  Sansa Stark : He doesn't mean Lady, does he? No, no, not Lady! Lady didn't bite anyone! She's good!

  Arya Stark : Lady wasn't there! You leave her alone!

  Sansa Stark : [to Ned]  Stop them. Don't let them do it. Please, please, it wasn't Lady!

  Eddard Stark : [to Robert]  Is this your command, Your Grace?

  [Robert leaves without answering] 

  Cersei Lannister : Where is the beast?

  Jaime Lannister : Chained up outside, Your Grace.

  Cersei Lannister : Ser Ilyn, do me the honor.

  Eddard Stark : No. Jory... take the girls to their rooms. If it must be done, then I'll do it myself.

  Cersei Lannister : Is this some trick?

  Eddard Stark : The wolf is of the North. She deserves better than a butcher.

• Eddard Stark : What is the meaning of this? Why was my daughter not brought to me at once?

  Cersei Lannister : How dare you speak to your king in that manner?

  Robert Baratheon : Quiet, woman. Sorry, Ned. I never meant to frighten the girl. But we need to get this business done quickly.

  Cersei Lannister : Your girl and that butcher's boy attacked my son. That animal of hers nearly tore his arm off.

  Arya Stark : That's not true! She just... bit him a little. He was hurting Mycah.

  Cersei Lannister : Joff told us what happened. You and that boy beat him with clubs while you set your wolf on him.

  Arya Stark : That's not what happened!

  Joffrey Baratheon : Yes, it is! They all attacked me and she threw my sword in the river.

  Arya Stark : Liar!

  Joffrey Baratheon : Shut up!

  Robert Baratheon : Enough! He tells me one thing, she tells me another. Seven hells! What am I to make of this?
