Quotes 

• [Tyrion gives Bran a drawing of saddle which will enable him to ride a horse] 

  Bran Stark : Will I really be able to ride?

  Tyrion Lannister : [nods]  You will. On horseback you will be as tall as any of them.

  Robb Stark : [suspiciously]  Is this some kind of trick? Why do you want to help him?

  Tyrion Lannister : I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards and broken things.

• Theon Greyjoy : Can't resist some northern ass? If you like redheads, ask for Ros.

  Tyrion Lannister : Come to see me off, Greyjoy? Kind of you. Your master doesn't seem to like Lannisters.

  Theon Greyjoy : He's not my master.

  Tyrion Lannister : No, of course not. What happened here? Where is Lady Stark? Why didn't she receive me?

  Theon Greyjoy : She wasn't feeling well.

  Tyrion Lannister : She's not in Winterfell, is she? Where did she go?

  Theon Greyjoy : Milady's whereabouts...

  Tyrion Lannister : "Milady?" Your loyalty to your captors is touching. Tell me, how do you think Balon Greyjoy would feel if he could see his only surviving son has turned lackey? I still remember my father's fleet burn in Lannisport. I believe your uncles were responsible.

  Theon Greyjoy : Must've been a pretty sight.

  Tyrion Lannister : Nothing prettier than watching sailors burn alive. Yes, a great victory for your people. Shame how it all turned out.

  Theon Greyjoy : We were outnumbered ten to one!

  Tyrion Lannister : A stupid rebellion, then. I suppose your father realized that when your brothers died in battle. Now here you are, your enemy's squire.

  Theon Greyjoy : Careful, Imp.

  Tyrion Lannister : I've offended you. Forgive me. It's been a rough morning. Anyway, don't despair. I'm a constant disappointment to my own father and I've learned to live with it.

  [Tyrion tosses a coin at Theon's feet] 

  Tyrion Lannister : Your next tumble with Ros is on me. I'll try not to wear her out.

• Tyrion Lannister : [Bran is carried in by a servant]  So it's true. Hello, Bran. Do you remember anything about what happened?

  Maester Luwin : He has no memory of that day.

  Tyrion Lannister : Curious.

  Robb Stark : Why are you here?

  Tyrion Lannister : [to Bran]  Would your charming companion be so kind as to kneel? My neck is beginning to hurt.

• Tyrion Lannister : Do you like to ride, Bran?

  Bran Stark : Yes. Well, I mean I did like to.

  Maester Luwin : The boy has lost the use of his legs.

  Tyrion Lannister : What of it? With the right horse and saddle, even a cripple can ride.

  Bran Stark : I'm not a cripple.

  Tyrion Lannister : Then I'm not a dwarf. My father will rejoice to hear it.

• Marillion : My lord of Lannister! Might I, uh, entertain you while you eat? I can sing of your father's victory at King's Landing.

  Tyrion Lannister : Nothing would more likely ruin my supper.

  [noticing Catelyn] 

  Tyrion Lannister : Lady Stark! What an unexpected pleasure. I was sorry to have missed you at Winterfell.

  Masha Heddle : [curtsying]  Lady Stark!

  Catelyn Stark : I was still Catelyn Tully the last time I stayed here. You, ser, is that the Black Bat of Harrenhal I see embroidered on your coat?

  Willis Wode : It is, my lady.

  Catelyn Stark : And is Lady Whent a true and honest friend to my father, Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun?

  Willis Wode : She is.

  Catelyn Stark : The red stallion was always a welcome sight at Riverrun. My father counts Jonas Bracken amongst his oldest and most loyal bannermen.

  Kurleket : Our Lord is honored by his trust.

  Tyrion Lannister : I envy your father all his fine friends, Lady Stark, but I don't quite see the purpose of this.

  Catelyn Stark : I know your sigil, as well. The Twin Towers of Frey. How fares your lord, ser?

  Knight of House Frey : Lord Walder is well, my lady. He has asked your father for the honor of his presence on his 90th nameday. He plans to take another wife.

  Catelyn Stark : [turning to Tyrion]  This man came into my house as a guest and there conspired to murder my son, a boy of 10. In the name of King Robert and the good lords you serve, I call upon you to seize him and help me return him to Winterfell to await the king's justice.

  [swords are drawn and pointed at Tyrion] 

• Tyrion Lannister : I must say I received a slightly warmer welcome on my last visit.

  Robb Stark : Any man of the Night's Watch is welcome at Winterfell.

  Tyrion Lannister : Any man of the Night's Watch but not I, eh, boy?

  Robb Stark : I'm not your boy, Lannister. I'm Lord of Winterfell while my father is away.

  Tyrion Lannister : Then you might learn a lord's courtesy.
