Richard Dormer: Beric Dondarrion

Quotes 

• [as the men are taking away Gendry] 

  Beric Dondarrion : We serve the Lord of Light, and the Lord of Light needs this boy.

  Arya Stark : Did the Lord of Light tell you that, or did she?

  [one of the guards gives gold to Beric] 

  Arya Stark : You're not doing this for your god! You're doing this for gold!

  Thoros of Myr : We're doing it for both, girl. We can't defend the people without weapons and horses and food, and we can't get weapons and horses and food, without gold.

• [Melisandre enters the Brotherhood's hideout unannounced] 

  Beric Dondarrion : Forgive my manners. I don't see many ladies these days.

  Thoros of Myr : Lucky for the ladies.

  [Melisandre walks over to Beric and examines his scars] 

  Melisandre : [to Thoros]  How many times has the Lord brought him back?

  Thoros of Myr : Six.

  [Melisandre looks shocked] 

  Melisandre : [in High Valyrian]  That's not possible.

  Thoros of Myr : [in High Valyrian]  The Lord has smiled upon me.

  Melisandre : [in High Valyrian]  You should not have this power.

  Thoros of Myr : [in High Valyrian]  I have no power. I ask the Lord for His favor, and He responds as He will.

  [Thoros sits down by the fire] 

  Thoros of Myr : [in English]  I've always been a terrible priest. Drank too much rum. Fucked all the whores in King's Landing. It's a terrible thing to say, but... by the time I came to Westeros, I didn't believe in our Lord. I decided that He, that all the gods, were stories we told the children to make them behave. So I wore the robes, and every now and then, I'd recite the prayers. It was just for show. A spectacle for the locals. Until the Mountain drove a lance through this one's heart.

  [Thoros points at Beric] 

  Thoros of Myr : I knelt beside his cold body, and said the old words. Not because I believed in them, but... he was my friend. And he was dead. And they were the only words I knew. And for the first time in my life, the Lord replied. Beric's eyes opened. And I knew the truth: our God is the one true God... and all men must serve Him.

  Melisandre : [to Beric]  You've been to the other side?

  Beric Dondarrion : The other side? There IS no other side. I have been to the darkness, my lady.

  [pause] 

  Beric Dondarrion : He sent you to us for a reason.

  Melisandre : You have someone He needs.
