Quotes 

  • [Jaime and Tyrion are eating dinner together; Jaime hasn't touched his food] 

    Tyrion Lannister : Your new hand is nicer than the old one. Wouldn't you agree, Pod?

    Podrick Payne : Is it solid gold?

    Tyrion Lannister : Gilded steel. Not eating. Why is no one eating? My wife wastes away, my brother starves himself...

    Jaime Lannister : I'm not hungry.

    Tyrion Lannister : You lost a hand, not a stomach. Try the boar. Cersei can't get enough since one killed Robert for her.

    [Pod steps forward with a sausage on a fork, but Jaime waves it away. Tyrion picks up his cup of wine] 

    Tyrion Lannister : A toast. To the proud Lannister children: the dwarf, the cripple, and the mother of madness.

    [Jaime reaches for his cup, but he accidentally knocks it over with his new hand] 

    Podrick Payne : I'll clean it up...

    Jaime Lannister : No, I'll do it. Leave us.

    [Pod leaves; Tyrion spills his wine onto the table] 

    Tyrion Lannister : It's only wine.

    [pause] 

    Jaime Lannister : [quietly]  I can't fight anymore.

    Tyrion Lannister : What about your left?

    Jaime Lannister : I can hold a sword, but all my instincts are wrong. How can I protect the king when I can hardly wipe my own arse?

    Tyrion Lannister : You're the Lord Commander now. Command. Let others do the fighting. When was the last time Father used a sword?

    Jaime Lannister : I'm not Father, I'm the Kingslayer. When people find out I can't slay a pigeon...

    Tyrion Lannister : Train, then. Learn to fight with your other hand.

    Jaime Lannister : With whom? You? Men talk. As soon as someone discovers I can't fight, he'll tell everyone.

    [Tyrion considers that for a moment] 

    Tyrion Lannister : You need a proper, discreet swordsman. As it happens, I have just the one.

  • Tyrion Lannister : A toast. To the proud Lannister children: the dwarf, the cripple, and the mother of madness.

  • Sansa Stark : [about Margaery]  We have a new queen.

    Tyrion Lannister : Better her than you.

  • Bronn : [about Shae]  All taken care of.

    Tyrion Lannister : You saw her board the ship?

    Bronn : Aye, she's on it.

    Tyrion Lannister : And you saw the ship sail away?

    Bronn : No one knows she's there but you, me, and Varys.

    Tyrion Lannister : How do you know?

    Bronn : Because if someone follows me without an invitation, I'm the last person they ever follow.

    Tyrion Lannister : [worriedly]  Is someone following you?

    [Bronn puts a hand on Tyrion's shoulder] 

    Bronn : She's gone. I know you don't want to believe it, but she is. Now, go drink until it feels like you did the right thing.

  • [Tyrion serves wine to Joffrey] 

    Joffrey Baratheon : [drinks]  Mmm. Good. Needs washing down.

    Tyrion Lannister : If it please, your Grace, Lady Sansa is very tired...

    Joffrey Baratheon : No.

    [Joffrey coughs] 

    Joffrey Baratheon : You'll wait here... un...

    Tyrion Lannister : Your Grace?

    Joffrey Baratheon : [sips more wine]  It's nothing!

    [Joffrey gasps for breath. Margaery sees shock on his face] 

    Margaery Tyrell : He's choking!

    [Tywin and Cersei shift their chairs in a panic] 

    Olenna Tyrell : Help the poor boy!

    [Joffrey staggers from the table, dying, choking and dropping the goblet] 

    Olenna Tyrell : Idiots! Help your king!

    Jaime Lannister : Move away!

    [Joffrey collapses, convulsing and vomiting] 

    Jaime Lannister : Joffrey! Joffrey!

    Cersei Lannister : Help him! Someone help him!

    Jaime Lannister : Joffrey!

    Cersei Lannister : Joffrey!

    [Dontos appears behind Sansa] 

    Dontos Hollard : Come with me now.

    Cersei Lannister : Joffrey! Joffrey!

    Dontos Hollard : [to Sansa]  If you want to live, we have to leave.

    Cersei Lannister : Don't touch him! Joffrey! Please! My God, what is it? Help him!

    [Joffrey points accusingly at Tyrion, who is examining the goblet] 

  • [Shae comes over towards Tyrion] 

    Tyrion Lannister : Don't.

    Shae : You want me on the desk?

    [Tyrion remains distant] 

    Shae : What's wrong, my lion?

    Tyrion Lannister : Don't call me that.

    Shae : What should I call you?

    Tyrion Lannister : I'm afraid our friendship can't continue.

    Shae : Our 'friendship.'

    Tyrion Lannister : There's a ship waiting in the harbor, bound for Pentos.

    Shae : What?

    Tyrion Lannister : You'll have your own cabin, of course. And across the Narrow Sea, a house... servants.

    Shae : What is this?

    Tyrion Lannister : I'm a married man. My wife has suffered a great deal, as you well know. I don't want her to suffer any more on my account. I need to uphold my vows.

    Shae : [sees through this]  She doesn't want you.

    Tyrion Lannister : I need to do right by her...

    Shae : [talking over his words]  You don't want her.

    Tyrion Lannister : ...by our children.

    Shae : What are you afraid of?

    Tyrion Lannister : I'm not afraid.

    Shae : You are. You're afraid of your father and your sister. You're going to run from them all your life?

    Tyrion Lannister : [insists]  I need you to leave.

    Shae : I'm not afraid of them. I'm not going to run from them.

    Tyrion Lannister : Shae...

    Shae : We'll fight them together. It's like you said, I am yours and you are mine.

    Tyrion Lannister : [has to chase her out of his life, so...]  You're a whore! Sansa is fit to bear my children, and you are not! I can't be in love with a whore. I can't have children with a whore.

    [Tyrion shakes his head] 

    Tyrion Lannister : How many men have you been with? Five hundred? Five thousand?

    Shae : [hurt, retaliates]  How many whores have you been with?

    Tyrion Lannister : I've enjoyed my time with all of them, and I've enjoyed my time with you most of all. But now that time is over.

    [Shae sobs as he walks towards door to open it for Bronn] 

    Tyrion Lannister : You'll have a comfortable life in Pentos. Bronn will escort you to your ship.

    [Shae cries bitterly, Bronn puts his hand on her shoulder, gets slapped hard, and Shae storms out the room]
