Quotes 

• [at the arena, Jorah Mormont appears before Daenerys. She is not pleased to see him] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : [to the guards]  Get him out of my sight.

  Jorah Mormont : Khaleesi, please, I just need a moment of your time. I brought you a gift.

  [as the guards start dragging Jorah away, Tyrion steps into the arena] 

  Tyrion Lannister : It's true. He has.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Who are you?

  Tyrion Lannister : I'm the gift. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace. My name is Tyrion Lannister.

  [Daenerys gapes at Tyrion] 

• [Daario is in bed with Daenerys] 

  Daario Naharis : How long before the King of Meereen comes to claim my pillow?

  Daenerys Targaryen : Don't be ridiculous. My marriage to Hizdahr... is political. I think he's smart enough to understand that.

  Daario Naharis : I think the Sons of the Harpy have stopped killing because their leader was made king.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [bemused tone]  Are you jealous?

  Daario Naharis : Do you think I'm petty enough to speak ill of a man just because he represents competition?

  [Daenerys nods and smiles] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : I do.

  Daario Naharis : [laughs]  You're right. My motivations are entirely impure.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Mmm.

  [they kiss. Daario looks down into Daenerys's eyes] 

  Daario Naharis : Doesn't make me wrong.

  [Daario kisses Daenerys passionately] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : You told me yourself I can't fight enemies within and without. So when enemies without come knocking, I need the city of Meereen behind me. I have no choice.

  Daario Naharis : Everyone has a choice. Even slaves have a choice... death or slavery.

  Daenerys Targaryen : So what else can I do, hmm?

  [Daario kisses Daenerys] 

  Daario Naharis : Marry me instead.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [laughter in her voice]  Even if I wanted to do such an inadvisable thing...

  Daenerys Targaryen : [smiles up at Daario]  ... I couldn't.

  Daario Naharis : Why not? You are queen. You can do what you like.

  Daenerys Targaryen : No... I can't.

  Daario Naharis : Then you are the only person in Meereen who's not free.

  [Daario lies down next to Daenerys, and as she sits upright, he strokes her bare back] 

  Daario Naharis : And I know I'm here to serve my Queen and not give advice... but can I make one more suggestion?

  Daenerys Targaryen : Of course.

  [Daenerys rests her head on Daario's chest] 

  Daario Naharis : On the day of the great games, gather all the Great Masters and Wise Masters and Worthy Masters you can find... and slaughter them all.

  Daenerys Targaryen : I am a Queen, not a butcher.

  Daario Naharis : All rulers are either butchers or meat.
