Quotes 

• Jon Snow : Why do you read so much?

  Tyrion Lannister : Look at me and tell me what you see.

  Jon Snow : Is this a trick?

  Tyrion Lannister : What you see is a dwarf. If I had been born a peasant, they might have left me out in the woods to die. Alas, I was born a Lannister of Casterly Rock. Things are expected of me. My father was the Hand of the King for twenty years.

  Jon Snow : Until your brother killed that king.

  Tyrion Lannister : Yes. Until my brother killed him. Life is full of these little ironies. My sister married the new king, and my repulsive nephew will be king after him. I must do my part for the honor of my house; wouldn't you agree? But how? Well, my brother has his sword, and I have my mind. And a mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. That's why I read so much, Jon Snow.

• Jon Snow : First lesson: stick 'em with the pointy end.

  Arya Stark : I know which end to use.

• [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.

• Robb Stark : You've said goodbye to Bran? He's not going to die. I know it.

  Jon Snow : You Starks are hard to kill.

  Robb Stark : My mother?

  Jon Snow : She was very kind.

  Robb Stark : Well, good. Next time I see you, you'll be all in black.

  Jon Snow : It was always my color.

• [Arya packs her belongings] 

  Arya Stark : [to Jon]  Septa Mordane says I have to do it again. My things weren't properly folded, she says. Who cares how they're folded? They're gonna get all messed up, anyway.

  Jon Snow : It's good you've got help.

  Arya Stark : Watch. Nymeria, gloves.

  [Nymeria sits there and whimpers] 

  Jon Snow : Impressive.

  Arya Stark : Shut up.

• Jon Snow : I have something for you. And it has to be packed very carefully.

  Arya Stark : A present?

  Jon Snow : Close the door.

  [Arya does, and Jon reveals a sword in its scabbard] 

  Jon Snow : This is no toy.

  [Jon unsheathes the sword] 

  Jon Snow : Be careful you don't cut yourself.

  Arya Stark : It's so skinny.

  Jon Snow : So are you. I had the blacksmith make it for you special. It won't hack a man's head off, but it can poke him full of holes if you're quick enough.

• Jon Snow : I came to say goodbye to Bran.

  Catelyn Stark : You've said it.

  [Jon moves to Bran's beside] 

  Jon Snow : I wish I could be here when you wake up. I'm going north with Uncle Benjen. I'm taking the black.

  [Jon kneels down] 

  Jon Snow : I know we always talked about seeing the wall together, but you'll be able to come visit me at Castle Black when you're better. I'll know my way around by then. I'll be a sworn brother of the Night's Watch. We can go out walking beyond the Wall, if you're not afraid.

  Catelyn Stark : I want you to leave.
