Quotes 

• Tyrion Lannister : Not going well, is it?

  Jaime Lannister : You're going to be found guilty.

  Tyrion Lannister : Oh! You think so?

  Jaime Lannister : When you are, you need to enter a formal plea for mercy and asked to be sent to the Wall. Father's agreed to it. He'll spare your life and allow you to join the Night's Watch.

  Tyrion Lannister : Ned Stark was promised the same thing, and we both know how that turned out.

  Jaime Lannister : My father isn't Joffrey. He'll keep his word.

  Tyrion Lannister : How do you know?

  Jaime Lannister : Do you trust me?

  [Tyrion nods mildly] 

  Jaime Lannister : Keep your mouth shut, no more outbursts. This will all be over soon.

• Jaime Lannister : You condemned your own son to death.

  Tywin Lannister : I condemned no one. The trial is not over.

  Jaime Lannister : This isn't a trial, it's a farce. Cersei has manipulated everything and you know it.

  Tywin Lannister : I know nothing of the sort.

  Jaime Lannister : You always hated Tyrion.

  Tywin Lannister : He killed his king!

  Jaime Lannister : As did I! Do you know the last order the 'Mad King' gave me? It was to bring him your head. I saved your life so you could murder my brother?

  Tywin Lannister : It won't be murder it will be justice.

  Jaime Lannister : Justice?

  Tywin Lannister : I am performing my sworn duty as Hand of the King. If Tyrion is found guilty, he will be punished accordingly.

  Jaime Lannister : He will be executed.

  Tywin Lannister : No! He'll be punished accordingly!

  Jaime Lannister : Once you said family is what lives on. All that lives on. You told me about a dynasty that would last 1,000 years. What happens to your dynasty when Tyrion dies? I'm a Kingsguard, forbidden by oath to carry on the family line.

  Tywin Lannister : I'm well aware of your oath.

  Jaime Lannister : What happens to your name? Who carries the lion banner into future battles? Your nephews? Lancel Lannister? Others whose names I don't even remember?

  Tywin Lannister : What happens to my dynasty if I spare the life of my grandson's killer?

  Jaime Lannister : It survives, through me. I'll leave the Kingsguard, I'll take my place as your son and heir, if you let Tyrion live.

  Tywin Lannister : [immediately responds]  Done!

  [Jaime looks shocked as if he had made a grave mistake] 

  Tywin Lannister : When the testimony's concluded and the guilty verdict rendered, Tyrion will be given the chance to speak. He'll plead for mercy. I'll allow him to join the Night's Watch. In three days time he'll depart for Castle Black and live out his days at the wall. You'll remove your white cloak immediately. You'll leave King's Landing to pursue your rightful place at Casterly Rock. You'll marry a suitable woman and father children name Lannister and you'll never turn your back on your family again.

  Jaime Lannister : You have my word.

  Tywin Lannister : And you have mine.

  [Jaime turns and leaves the room]
