Quotes 

• Cersei Lannister : When you marched into the throne room to tell me we'd won the Battle of Blackwater...

  [Tywin is walking away] 

  Cersei Lannister : [voice raised]  Do you remember?

  [Tywin stops and turns to Cersei] 

  Cersei Lannister : I was sitting on the Iron Throne with Tommen. I was about to give him essence of nightshade. That's how far I was willing to go when I thought someone awful had come to take my son away. Someone awful is coming to take him away.

  Tywin Lannister : No.

  Cersei Lannister : Joffrey is dead. Myrcella's been sold like livestock. And now you want to ship me off to Highgarden and steal my boy. My last boy. Margaery will dig her claws in, you will dig your claws in and you'll fight over him like beasts until you rip him apart. I will burn our house to the ground before I let that happen.

  Tywin Lannister : And how will you do that?

  Cersei Lannister : I'll tell everyone the truth.

  Tywin Lannister : What truth would that be?

  Cersei Lannister : You don't know, do you? You never believed it. How is that possible? What am I saying? Of course it's possible. How can someone so consumed by the idea of his family have any conception what his actual family was doing? We were right there in front of you, and you didn't see us. One look in the past 20 years, one real look at your own children and you would have known.

  Tywin Lannister : Known what?

  Cersei Lannister : Everything they say is true, about Jaime and me.

  Tywin Lannister : No.

  Cersei Lannister : Your legacy is a lie.

  Tywin Lannister : I don't believe you.

  Cersei Lannister : [smirking]  Yes, you do.
