• [Sansa is busy with embroidery when there's knock on door] 

  Sansa Stark : Yes?

  [Littlefinger enters] 

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : First time I saw you, you were just a child. A girl from the North come to the capital for the first time. You're not a child any longer.

  [Sansa doesn't look up] 

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : Why did you help me?

  Sansa Stark : They would have thrown you through the Moon Door if they found you guilty.

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : That's not an answer.

  [Sansa stops her needlework] 

  Sansa Stark : If they'd have executed you, what would they have done to me?

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : I don't know.

  Sansa Stark : Neither do I.

  Sansa Stark : Better to gamble on the man you know than the strangers you don't?

  [no answer] 

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : And do you think you know me?

  Sansa Stark : I know what you want.

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : Do you?

• Anya Waynwood : Come closer, child. You have nothing to fear from us... or... him. Lord Baelish here is your uncle? Your name is Alayne?

  [Sansa nods meekly] 

  Anya Waynwood : Perhaps you would feel more comfortable if Lord Baelish left the room.

  Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : My lady...

  Anya Waynwood : I wasn't asking you.

  Sansa Stark : [whispers]  He can stay.

  Yohn Royce : Speak up, girl, you're not a damn kitchen mouse. Tell us what you saw.

  Sansa Stark : I'm sorry, Lord Baelish. I... I have to tell the truth.

  Sansa Stark : [facing Anya and Royce]  I'll tell you everything.

  Anya Waynwood : Please, Alayne, leave nothing out.

  Sansa Stark : [shaking her head]  My name is not Alayne. It's Sansa Stark, eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark. Lord Royce, we met when you came to Winterfell. You were escorting your son Ser Waymar to the Wall.

  Yohn Royce : Sansa Stark?

  Yohn Royce : [to Petyr]  You tell lies right to my face, you little worm?

  Sansa Stark : Lord Baelish has told many lies... all to protect me. Since my father was executed, I have been a hostage in King's Landing. A plaything for Joffrey to torture or Queen Cercei to torment. They beat me, they humiliated me, they married me to the Imp.

  [Sansa shakes her head] 

  Sansa Stark : I had no friends in King's Landing... except one.

  [Sansa looks back at Petyr] 

  Sansa Stark : He saved me. He smuggled me away when he had the chance. He knew I'd be safe here in the Eyrie, with my own blood, my Aunt Lysa. But the Lannisters have friends...

  Sansa Stark : [stammers]  ... everywhere. Even the Vale. He made me swear not to tell anyone my true name.

  Donnel Waynwood : Your secret is safe with us, my lady.

  Yohn Royce : Your father grew up right here in these halls. We hunted together many times.

  Yohn Royce : [nods]  He was a fine man.

  Anya Waynwood : Tell us what happened to your Aunt, Sansa.

  Sansa Stark : You knew her well, my lords, my lady. You knew she was a troubled woman. She always loved Lord Baelish. She told me herself. From the moment he arrived in Riverrun, a boy of eight, carrying everything he owned in a little sack. She confessed to me she never loved Lord Arryn. She did as her father commanded, as so many of us have. When the gods finally allowed her to be with Lord Baelish, she was so happy. For a time. My Aunt was a jealous lady .She was terrified that Lord Baelish didn't love her any more. That he would abandon her for a younger woman. And then... one day she saw him... kiss me.

  Yohn Royce : [shocked]  Lady Sansa...!

  Sansa Stark : It was a peck on the cheek, Lord Royce. Nothing more. Lord Baelish is my uncle now, in truth, by marriage. He's always been so kind to me. I was so happy to be here, to be free. All because of him. But my Aunt turned on me. She cursed me. Called me a whore. Promised to throw me through the Moon Door. When Lord Baelish tried to...

  Sansa Stark : [voice breaks]  ... calm her, she struck him and said she didn't want to live anymore. She stood on the edge of that Moon Door. And he tried to reason with her, promised her she was the only one he ever loved, but she stepped through, and she was...

  [Sansa breaks down crying] 

  Anya Waynwood : Shh.

  [Lady Waynwood hugs Sansa] 

  Anya Waynwood : It's not your fault, sweet girl. It's not your fault.

  [Petyr grins at Sansa, and Sansa smiles back at him] 

• Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish : People die at their dinner tables. They die in their beds. They die squatting over their chamber pots. Everybody dies sooner or later. And don't worry about your death. Worry about your life. Take charge of your life for as long as it lasts.
