Quotes 

• Jaime Lannister : But even if the boy lives he would be a cripple, a grotesque. Give me a good, clean death anyday.

  Tyrion Lannister : Speaking for the grotesques, I have to disagree. Death is so final, yet life is full of possibilities. I hope the boy does wake. I'd be very interested to hear what he has to say.

  Jaime Lannister : My dear brother, there are times you make me wonder whose side you're on.

  Tyrion Lannister : *My* dear brother, you wound me. You know how much I love my family.

• [Jaime finds Jon at the blacksmith's forge, examining Arya's sword] 

  Jaime Lannister : A sword for the Wall?

  Jon Snow : I already have one.

  Jaime Lannister : Good man. Have you swung it yet?

  Jon Snow : Of course I have.

  Jaime Lannister : At someone, I mean.

  [Jon does not answer] 

  Jaime Lannister : It's a strange thing, first time you cut a man. You realize we're nothing but sacks of meat and blood, and some bone to keep it all standing.

  [pause] 

  Jaime Lannister : Let me thank you ahead of time for guarding us all from the perils beyond the Wall. Wildlings and white walkers and whatnot. We're grateful to have good, strong men like you protecting us.

  Jon Snow : We've guarded the Kingdoms for eight thousand years.

  Jaime Lannister : Is it "we" already? Have you taken your vows, then?

  Jon Snow : Soon enough.

  Jaime Lannister : Give my regards to the Night's Watch. I'm sure it will be thrilling to serve in such an elite force. And if not...

  [Jaime smiles and shrugs] 

  Jaime Lannister : ...it's only for life.

• Tyrion Lannister : The charms of the North seem entirely lost on you.

  Cersei Lannister : I still can't believe you're going. It's ridiculous, even for you.

  Tyrion Lannister : Where's your sense of wonder? The greatest structure ever built, the intrepid men of the Night's Watch, the wintry abode of the White Walkers.

  Jaime Lannister : Tell me you're not thinking of taking the black.

  Tyrion Lannister : And go celibate? The whores would go begging from Dorne to Casterly Rock. No, I just want to stand on top of the wall and piss off the edge of the world.

• [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.
