- Missandei: You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryan, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, the rightful Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.
- Davos Seaworth: This is Jon Snow... he's King in the North.
- Tyrion Lannister: And Sansa? I hear she's alive and well.
- Jon Snow: She is.
- Tyrion Lannister: Does she miss me terribly?
- [Jon stares at Tyrion]
- Tyrion Lannister: A sham marriage... and unconsummated.
- Jon Snow: I didn't ask.
- Tyrion Lannister: Well, it was. Or wasn't. Anyway... she's much smarter than she lets on.
- Jon Snow: She's starting to let on.
- Tyrion Lannister: Good.
- Olenna Tyrell: [referring to Widow's Wail] That was Joffery's sword, wasn't it? Not that he ever used it. What did he call it?
- Jaime Lannister: Widow's Wail.
- Olenna Tyrell: He really was a cunt, wasn't he?
- 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.
- Olenna Tyrell: I'd hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood-red, skin purple. Must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me, a shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. You see, I'd never seen the poison work before. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.
- Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Fight every battle everywhere, always, in your mind. Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you've seen before.
- 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.
- Olenna Tyrell: It's done?
- Jaime Lannister: It is.
- Olenna Tyrell: And now the rains weep o'er our halls.
- [Jaime pours wine to two goblets]
- Olenna Tyrell: Your brother and his new queen thought you would be defending Casterly Rock.
- Jaime Lannister: The truth is Casterly Rock isn't worth much anymore. Well, it is to me, but my fond childhood memories won't keep Cersei on the throne.
- Olenna Tyrell: So you just let them take it?
- Jaime Lannister: For now. They won't be able to hold it. Euron Greyjoy's navy burned their ships, we emptied the larders before we left. Eventually, they'll be forced to abandon their position and march all the way across Westeros.
- [Jaime places the two goblets on the table, in front of Olenna]
- Olenna Tyrell: And you took your army, your real army, and went where they weren't.
- [Jaime takes a chair and sits at the table]
- Jaime Lannister: As Robb Stark did to me at Whispering Wood. There are always lessons in failures.
- Olenna Tyrell: Yes. You must be very wise by now.
- Jaime Lannister: My father always said I was a slow learner.
- Olenna Tyrell: If he was so clever, why didn't he take Highgarden the moment your gold mines ran dry? I suppose I'll be able to ask him myself soon enough. No more learning from my mistakes, eh?
- Tyrion Lannister: At some point, I want to hear how a Night's Watch recruit became King in the North.
- Jon Snow: As long as you tell me how a Lannister became Hand to Daenerys Targaryen.
- Tyrion Lannister: A long and bloody tale. To be honest, I was drunk for most of it.
- 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.
- Tyrion Lannister: I came down here to brood over my failure to predict the Greyjoy attack. You're making it difficult. You look a lot better brooding than I do. You make me feel like I'm failing at brooding over failing.
- Euron Greyjoy: There's nothing quite like it, is there? The love of the people. Though I suppose you wouldn't know.
- Jaime Lannister: This same mob spat at my sister not long ago. And if you turn on us, they'll cheer to see your head mounted on a spike.
- Euron Greyjoy: Or yours. They just like severed heads, really.
- Theon Greyjoy: [referring to Yara] I couldn't save her. I tried.
- Harrag: You wouldn't be here if you tried.
- Jon Snow: My bannermen think I'm a fool for coming here.
- Tyrion Lannister: Of course they do. If I was your Hand, I would have advised against it. General rule of thumb - Stark men don't fare well when they travel south.
- Jon Snow: True... but I'm not a Stark.
- 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.
- Tycho Nestoris: We don't make bets. We invest in endeavors we deem likely to be successful.
- Cersei Lannister: A fancy way of saying "bet".
- Tyrion Lannister: [to Jon Snow, who fell down as dragons swooped by overhead] I'd say you get used to them... but you never really do.
- 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.
