Sundays 9:00 PM on HBOGame of Thrones Season 5 Quotes
You will find little joy in your command, but with luck you will the strength to do what needs to be done. Kill the boy Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy, and let the man be born.
Maester Aemon
Tyrion: You're going the wrong way. My sister's in Westeros. Westeros is west, we're heading east.
Jorah: I'm not taking you to your sister.
Tyrion: You said you were taking me to the queen.
Jorah: I am, to Daenerys Targaryen. She's the queen I serve.
Tyrion: [laughs] What a waste of a good kidnapping. So happens, I was heading there myself.
Melisandre: The dead don't need lovers, only the living.
Jon: I know, but I still love her.
Littlefinger: Stannis Baratheon garrisions at Castle Black. He'll march south to King's Landing before the winter snows block his way. But first, he has to take Winterfell.
Sansa: You don't know that.
Littlefinger: I do. Once he liberates these lands from the Boltons, he'll rally your father's bannermen to his cause. With the north behind him, Stannis can finally take the Iron Throne.
Sansa: You think he'll defeat the Boltons?
Littlefinger: He has a larger army. He's the finest military commander in Westeros. A betting man, would put his money on Stannis. As it happens, I am a betting man.
Melisandre: Winterfell was your home once. Don't you want to chase the rats out of it?
Jon: Castle Black is my home now. The Night's Watch take no part in the wars of the seven kingdoms.
Cersei: In the days before the Targaryens, the Faith Militant dispensed the justice of the seven.
High Sparrow: Well, the Faith Militant was disarmed more than two centuries ago.
Cersei: If I explained their holy purpose to my son, the king, I have no doubt he will sign a decree arming the believers you felt worthy.
High Sparrow: An army that defends the bodies and souls of the common people?
Cersei: An army in service to the Gods themselves. And to you, of course, as the chosen representative of the seven.
Littlefinger: The Lannister name doesn't mean what it once did. Tywin is dead, he kept his house in power through sheer will. Without him, Jaime has one hand and no allies. Tommen is a soft boy, not a king to fear.
Roose: The Queen will be enraged.
Littlefinger: Queen Margaery adores Sansa. Cersei is Queen Mother, a title whose importance wanes with each passing day.
Jon: I'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. My place is here.
Stannis: I'm giving you a chance to avenge your family. To take back the castle where you grew up. To rule the North.
Jon: I wish I could fight beside you. Believe me I do, but I swore a sacred vow the Gods would. I pledged my life to the Night's Watch.
Stannis: You're as stubborn as your father, and as honorable.
Jon: I can imagine no higher praise.
Stannis: I didn't mean it as praise. Honor got your father killed, but if your mind's made up I won't try and dissuade you.
Podrick: Lord Tyrion was always very good to me.
Brienne: Yes, all your Lords have been very kind to you. All except me. Sorry you have to squire for such a nasty person.
Podrick: I'm not sorry, you're the best fighter I've ever seen. You beat the hound. I'm proud to be your squire.
Brienne: I'm sorry I'm always snapping at you.
Podrick: If you didn't snap at me I wouldn't learn anything.
Brienne: You want to be a knight Pod?
Podrick: Yes.
Brienne: Starting tomorrow we'll train with a sword twice a day. Before we ride in the morning, and after we make camp in the evening. And I'm going to show you how to ride properly.
Podrick: Thank you.
Brienne: I can't knight you, but I can teach you how to fight.
Podrick: I suppose that's more important.
Terrible things happen to your family and you weep. You sit alone in a darkened room mourning their fates. You've been a bystander to tragedy from the day they executed your father. Stop being a bystander, do you hear me? Stop running. There's no justice in the world. Not unless we make it. You loved your family, avenge them.
Littlefinger
Margaery: I want to know everything there is to know about King Tommen, first of his name.
Tommen: King Tommen... still sounds strange to me. Does Queen Margaery sound strange to you?
Margaery: So strange... husband.
Tommen: Wife. [both laugh] Sometimes it feels odd. I'm the king. I've married the most beautiful woman in the world. And it's all because my brother died.
Margaery: I understand, but it's not your fault. You know that, don't you? You mustn't feel guilty.
Tommen: I don't feel guilty. That's what's odd.
Stannis: I ordered Mance Rayder burnt at the stake. You prevented that order from being carried out. You showed mercy to Mance Rayder. The King's word is law. Perhaps you should ask Ser Davos how much mercy I show to law breakers. Show too much kindness, people won't fear you. They don't fear you, they don't follow you.
Jon: With respect your grace, the free folk will never follow you. No matter what you do. You're the man who burned their King alive.
