• Bran Stark : "Family, Duty, Honor".

  [Bran makes scratches on the desk with his fish brooch] 

  Maester Luwin : Those are Tully's words, your mother's. Are we playing a game?

  Bran Stark : "Family, Duty, Honor". Is that the right order?

  Maester Luwin : You know it is.

  Bran Stark : Family comes first.

  Maester Luwin : You mother had to leave Winterfell to protect the family.

  Bran Stark : How can she protect the family if she is not with her family?

  Maester Luwin : Your mother sat by your bed for three weeks while you slept.

  Bran Stark : [slightly raises his voice]  And then she left!

  Maester Luwin : When you were born, I was the one who pulled you from your mother. I placed you in her arms. From that moment, and till the moment she dies, she will love you absolutely... fiercely.

  Bran Stark : Why did she leave?

  Maester Luwin : I still can't tell you. But she will be home soon.

  Bran Stark : Do you know where she is now? Today?

  Maester Luwin : No, I don't.

  Bran Stark : Then how can you promise me she will be home soon?

  Maester Luwin : [smiles]  Sometimes I worry you are too smart for your own good.

  [Bran looks enviously at Theon while he shoots arrows at practice target] 

  Bran Stark : [forlornly]  I will never shoot another arrow.

  Maester Luwin : And where is that written?

  Bran Stark : You need legs to work a bow.

  Maester Luwin : Hmmm. If the saddle Lord Tyrion designed actually works, you could learn to shoot a bow from horseback.

  Bran Stark : Really?

  Maester Luwin : Dothraki boys learn when they're four year old. Why shouldn't you?

  [Bran smiles]
