Quotes 

• Bronn : Your brother ever tell you how I came into his service?

  Jaime Lannister : You stood for him in his trial by combat at the Eyrie.

  Bronn : Aye. But only when Lady Arryn demanded the trial take place that day. You were his first choice. He named you for his champion because he knew you would ride, day and night, to come fight for him. You gonna fight for him now?

• Jaime Lannister : They say the best swords have names. Any ideas?

  [Brienne thinks for a moment] 

  Brienne of Tarth : Oathkeeper.

• [Jaime is visiting Tyrion in his cell] 

  Jaime Lannister : To tell you the truth, this isn't so bad. Four walls. A pot to piss in. I was chained to a wooden post, covered in my own shit, for months.

  Tyrion Lannister : Is that supposed to make me feel better?

  Jaime Lannister : Maybe a bit.

  [pause] 

  Jaime Lannister : I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.

  Tyrion Lannister : It's complicated, yes. So how is our sister?

  Tyrion Lannister : How do you think? Her son died in her arms.

  Tyrion Lannister : "Her" son?

  Jaime Lannister : [quietly]  Don't.

• Jaime Lannister : You know what's coming?

  Tyrion Lannister : Mm, my trial for regicide, yes, I know. I know the whole bloody country thinks I'm guilty. I know that one of my three judges has wished me dead more times than I can count, and that judge is my father. As for Cersei, well, she's probably working on a way to avoid a trial altogether by having me killed.

  Jaime Lannister : Now that you mention it, she did ask.

  Tyrion Lannister : So should I turn around and close my eyes?

  Jaime Lannister : Depends. Did you do it?

  [Tyrion looks at Jaime for a moment] 

  Tyrion Lannister : "The Kingslayer Brothers". You like it? I like it.

  [pause] 

  Tyrion Lannister : You're really asking if I killed your son?

  Jaime Lannister : Are you really asking if I'd kill my brother?

  Jaime Lannister : How can I help you?

  Tyrion Lannister : Well, you can set me free.

  Jaime Lannister : You know I can't.

  Tyrion Lannister : Then there's really nothing else to say.

  Jaime Lannister : What do you want me to do? Kill the guards? Sneak you out of the city in the back of a cart? I'm the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

  Tyrion Lannister : [sarcastically]  Sorry, I'd forgotten. I'd hate for you to do something inappropriate.

  Jaime Lannister : Inappropriate? You're accused of killing the king. Freeing you is treason.

  Tyrion Lannister : Except I didn't do it!

  Jaime Lannister : Which is why we're having a trial.

  Tyrion Lannister : [scoffs]  A trial! If the killer threw himself before the Iron Throne, confessed to his crimes, and gave irrefutable evidence of his guilt, it wouldn't matter to Cersei. She won't rest until my head's on a spike.

  Jaime Lannister : Not just yours. She's offering a knighthood to whomever finds Sansa Stark.

  Tyrion Lannister : Sansa couldn't have done this.

  Jaime Lannister : She had more reason than anyone in the Seven Kingdoms. Do you think it's a coincidence she disappeared the same night Joffrey died?

  Tyrion Lannister : No, but... Sansa's not a killer. Not yet, anyway.

• [Jaime wonders if Tyrion was responsible for Joffrey's death] 

  Jaime Lannister : D'you think he did it?

  Bronn : Nah... he hated the little twat, sure. Who didn't?

• [Jaime gives Brienne his new sword. Brienne examines it] 

  Brienne of Tarth : Valyrian steel.

  Jaime Lannister : Mmm. It's yours.

  Brienne of Tarth : [gapes]  I can't accept this...

  Jaime Lannister : It was reforged from Ned Stark's sword. You'll use it to defend Ned Stark's daughter. You swore an oath to return the Stark girls to their mother. Lady Stark's dead. Arya's probably dead, too, but there's still a chance to find Sansa and get her somewhere safe.

• Cersei Lannister : Why did Catelyn Stark set you free?

  Jaime Lannister : What?

  Cersei Lannister : I've been wondering for months. Ever since that great cow brought you back to the capital. Why did she set you free?

  Jaime Lannister : You know why. She'd hoped I'd send her daughters back to her.

  [Cersei approaches Jaime] 

  Cersei Lannister : She hoped or did you promise?

  Jaime Lannister : I swore by all the gods that if her daughters were alive, I'd return them to her.

  Cersei Lannister : [scornfully]  So you made a sacred vow to the enemy.

  Jaime Lannister : I wanted to get back to you. Should I have told her to fuck off?

  Cersei Lannister : [smirks]  You didn't mean it, then? You have no loyalty to Catelyn Stark?

  Jaime Lannister : Catelyn Stark's dead.
