Quotes 

• Tyrion Lannister : I'd very much like to believe that Jon Snow is wrong, but a wise man once said that you should never believe a thing simply because you want to believe it.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Which wise man said this?

  Tyrion Lannister : I don't remember.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Are you trying to present your own statements as ancient wisdom?

  Tyrion Lannister : I would never do that... to you.

• Daenerys Targaryen : I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will!

  Jon Snow : You'll be ruling over a graveyard if we don't defeat the Night's King.

  Tyrion Lannister : The war against my sister has already begun. You can't expect us to halt hostilities and join you in fighting... whatever you saw beyond the wall.

  Davos Seaworth : You don't believe him? I understand that, it sounds like nonsense. But if destiny has brought Daenerys Targaryen back to our shores, it has also made Jon Snow King in the North. You were the first to bring Dothraki to Westeros? He is the first to make allies of wildlings and Northmen. He was named Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, he was named King in the North, not because of his birthright. He HAS no birthright, he's a damn bastard! All those hard sons of bitches chose him as their leader, because they believed in him. All those things you don't believe in, he faced those things, he fought those things for the good of his people. He risked his life for his people. He took a knife in the heart for his people. He gave his own...

  [Davos trails off as Jon looks at him] 

  Davos Seaworth : If we don't put aside our enmities and band together, we will die. And then it doesn't matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne.

  Tyrion Lannister : If it doesn't matter, then you might as well kneel. Swear your allegiance to Queen Daenerys, help her to defeat my sister, and together, our armies will protect the North.

  Jon Snow : [irritably]  There's no time for that. There's no time for any of this! While we stand here debating...

  Tyrion Lannister : It takes no time to bend the knee. Pledge your sword to her cause.

  Jon Snow : [angrily]  And why would I do that?

  [Jon speaks to Daenerys] 

  Jon Snow : I mean no offense, Your Grace, but I don't know you. As far as I can tell, your claim to the throne rests entirely on your father's name, and my own father fought to overthrow the Mad King. The lords of the North placed their trust in me to lead them, and I will continue to do so as well as I can.

• Daenerys Targaryen : I was born at Dragonstone. Not that I can remember it. We fled before Robert's assassins could find us. Robert was your father's best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I've been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing, through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any god, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn't seen a dragon in centuries, until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn't crossed the sea, any sea. They did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will.

• Jon Snow : Right now, you and I and Cersei and everyone else; we're children playing at a game, screaming that the rules aren't fair.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [Turns to Tyrion]  You told me you liked this man

  Tyrion Lannister : I do

  Daenerys Targaryen : In the time since he's met me, he's refused to call me queen, he's refused to bow, and now he's calling me a child.

  Tyrion Lannister : I believe he's calling *all* of us children. Figure of speech.

• Jon Snow : [allowed to mine dragonglass]  So, do you believe me about the Night King and the Army of the Dead?

  Daenerys Targaryen : [reserves her opinion]  You better get to work, Jon Snow.
