And Now His Watch Is Ended (2013)

Sophie Reid: Tyrell Lady

Quotes 

• [Olenna is watching some of her young granddaughters sewing] 

  Young Tyrell Lady : Do you like it, Nana?

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Another golden rose, how original. I eat from plates stamped with roses, I sleep in sheets embroidered with roses, I have a golden rose painted on my chamber pot... as if that makes it smell any better. Roses are boring, dear.

  [Olenna leans forward to look at the stitching] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : "Growing Strong." Ha! The dullest words of any House. "Winter Is Coming." Now that's memorable. "We Do Not Sow." Strong, strong, those are Houses you watch out for. Direwolves and krakens, fierce beasts... but a golden rose growing strong? Ha! That strikes fear in the heart.

  [Olenna looks up and sees Varys walking towards them] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Look, little loves. A spider in the garden. Run along, now. Grow strong.

  [the young ladies bow and leave] 

  Lord Varys : My lady. I wanted to personally welcome you to King's Landing. The city has been made brighter by your presence.

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : The city is made brighter by my presence? Is that your usual line, Lord Varys? Are you here to seduce me?

  Lord Varys : A little obvious, perhaps.

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Oh, no, please! Seduce away, it's been so long. Though I rather think it's all for naught. What happens when the nonexistent bumps against the decrepit?

  [Varys looks down at his crotch, then back at Olenna, at a loss for words] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : A question for the philosophers. But you've come mincing all this way for something. So?

  Lord Varys : Might I sit?

  [Varys starts toward a nearby chair] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : No.

  [Varys stops and looks at Olenna] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Come, I've heard you're such a clever man. I'm curious why you sought me out.

  Lord Varys : You've taken an interest in Sansa Stark.

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Have I? Because I spoke to her once in this garden, and one of your little spies came running to tell you? Why shouldn't I take an interest? She's an interesting girl.

  Lord Varys : Is she?

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : No, not particularly. But she's had an interesting childhood.

  Lord Varys : She has, sadly. Well, forgive me for wasting your time. I thought we shared certain hopes for her well-being.

  [Varys turns to leave] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : [chuckling]  Come, come. You surrender rather easily.

  [Olenna gets up and takes Varys's arm] 

  Lady Olenna Tyrell : Walk with me. I know the walls have ears, but apparently the shrubbery does, too.
