Quotes 

• [Theon is brooding in his chambers at Winterfell while a Northman incessantly blows a horn outside the walls] 

  Theon Greyjoy : I WILL kill that man. I don't care how many arrows they feather me with, how many spears they run through me, I will kill that horn-blowing cunt before I fall.

  Maester Luwin : They want you to know you're surrounded.

  Theon Greyjoy : I know I'm surrounded. I know that because I stood on the battlements and saw I was surrounded.

  Maester Luwin : They don't want you to sleep. They want to sap your spirit before they...

  Theon Greyjoy : [sarcastically]  Thank you, wise bald man! Thank you for explaining siege tactics to me.

  [pause] 

  Theon Greyjoy : No word from my father?

  Maester Luwin : No.

  Theon Greyjoy : Send more ravens.

  Maester Luwin : You killed all the ravens.

  Theon Greyjoy : The first time I saw Winterfell...

  [the horn blows again; Theon waits for it to finish with an irritated look on his face] 

  Theon Greyjoy : The first time I saw Winterfell, it looked like something that had been here for thousands of years, and would be here for thousands of years after I was dead. I saw it, and I thought, "Of course Ned Stark crushed our rebellion and killed my brothers. We never stood a chance against a man who lives here."

  Maester Luwin : Lord Stark went out of his way to make it your home.

  Theon Greyjoy : Yes, my captors were so very kind to me, you love reminding me of that. Everyone in this frozen pile of shit has always loved reminding me of that. You know what it's like to be told how lucky you are to be someone's prisoner? To be told how much YOU owe THEM? And then to go back home to your real father...

  [the horn blows again; Theon jumps up in fury] 

  Theon Greyjoy : I will kill that man! I swear to the Drowned God, the old gods, the new gods, to every fucking god in every fucking heaven, I will kill that man!

  Maester Luwin : Theon, listen to me. I serve Winterfell. Now Winterfell is yours. I'm bound by oath to serve you.

  Theon Greyjoy : And what's your counsel, trusted friend?

  Maester Luwin : Run. Five hundred Northmen wait outside the walls. You have twenty men. You can't win. Wait for nightfall and run.

  Theon Greyjoy : There's nowhere to run. I'd never make it back to the Iron Islands. And even if I did, even if by some miracle I slipped through the lines and made it home, I'd be a coward. "The Greyjoy who ran." The shame of the family.

  Maester Luwin : Don't go home. Join the Night's Watch. Once a man has taken the black, he's beyond reach of the law. All his past crimes are forgiven.

  Theon Greyjoy : I won't make it to the Wall. I won't make it ten feet past the Winterfell gates.

  Maester Luwin : There are ways. Hidden passageways, built so the lords of Winterfell could escape. The road will be dangerous, but with a little luck... the Night's Watch is an ancient, honorable order. You'll have opportunities there.

  Theon Greyjoy : The opportunity for Jon Snow to cut my throat in my sleep!

  Maester Luwin : The opportunity to make amends for what you've done.

  Theon Greyjoy : I've done a lot, haven't I? Things I never imagined myself doing.

  Maester Luwin : I've known you many years, Theon Greyjoy. You're not the man you're pretending to be.

  [Luwin puts a comforting hand on Theon's shoulder] 

  Maester Luwin : Not yet.

  Theon Greyjoy : [in despair]  You may be right. But I've gone too far to pretend to be anything else.

• [Theon addresses him men as the horn continues to blow outside the walls] 

  Theon Greyjoy : You hear that? That's the mating call of the Northmen. They want to fuck us! Well, I haven't had a good fuck in weeks, I'm ready for one!

  [the ironborn laugh] 

  Theon Greyjoy : They say that every ironborn man is worth a dozen from the mainland.

  Ironborn : Aye.

  Theon Greyjoy : You think they're right?

  Lorren : Aye.

  Theon Greyjoy : We die today, brothers! We die bleeding from a hundred wounds, with arrows in our necks and spears in our guts! But our war cries will echo through eternity. They will sing about the Battle of Winterfell until the Iron Islands have slipped beneath the waves. Every man, woman, and child will know who we were and how long we stood! Aggar and Gelmarr! Wex and Urzen! Stygg and Black Lorren! Ironborn warriors will cry out our names as they leap onto the shores of Seagard and Faircastle!

  Ironborn : Aye!

  Theon Greyjoy : Mothers will name their sons for us!

  Ironborn : Aye!

  Theon Greyjoy : Girls will think of us with their lovers inside them!

  Ironborn : Aye!

  [the horn blows again] 

  Theon Greyjoy : And whoever kills that *fucking* horn-blower will stand in bronze above the shores of Pyke!

  Ironborn : Aye!

  Theon Greyjoy : [thumping his chest]  What is dead may never die!

  Ironborn : [thumping their chests]  What is dead may never die!

  [Theon yells out a war cry, but Dagmer suddenly hits him over the head with his spear, knocking him unconscious] 

  Lorren : Thought he'd never shut up.

  Dagmer Cleftjaw : It was a good speech. Didn't want to interrupt.

  [the ironborn place a hood over Theon's head. Maester Luwin appears and walks up to Dagmer] 

  Maester Luwin : What is this? What are you doing?

  [Dagmer shoves his spear into Luwin's stomach and twists it; Luwin screams in pain and falls to the ground] 

  Dagmer Cleftjaw : Let's go home.

  [the ironborn drag Theon away, leaving the mortally wounded Luwin lying on the ground]
