Quotes 

• Tyrion Lannister : Who's that for?

  Lord Varys : Jon Snow.

  Tyrion Lannister : Did you read it?

  Lord Varys : [indignantly]  It's a sealed scroll for the King in the North.

  [pause] 

  Tyrion Lannister : What's it say?

  Lord Varys : Nothing good.

• [Gendry kills two guards who recognise Tyrion] 

  Davos Seaworth : This is Gendry.

  Tyrion Lannister : He'll do.

• Tyrion Lannister : All rulers demand that people bend the knee. That's why they're rulers. She gave Tarly a choice, a man who had taken up arms against her. What else could she do?

  Lord Varys : Not burn him alive alongside his son?

  Tyrion Lannister : I am her Hand, not her head. I can't make her decisions for her.

  Lord Varys : That's what I used to tell myself about her father. I found traitors, but I wasn't the one burning them alive. I was only a purveyor of information. It's what I told myself when I watched them beg for mercy, "I'm not the one doing it." When the pitch of their screams rose higher, "I'm not the one doing it." When their hair caught fire and the smell of their burning flesh filled the throne room, "I'm not the one doing it."

• Tyrion Lannister : You made me look like a complete fool. I thought I'd surprise you by hitting Casterly Rock, but you were three steps ahead of me. You abandoned the family home. Completely unsentimental. Father would've been proud.

  Jaime Lannister : Don't talk about Father.

  Tyrion Lannister : Listen to me...

  Jaime Lannister : [interrupts]  I once told Bronn that if I ever saw you again, I'd cut you in half.

  Tyrion Lannister : It'll take you a while with a sparring sword.

  [Jaime shakes his head] 

  Tyrion Lannister : He was going to execute me. He knew I was innocent. He didn't hate me because of anything I did, he hated me because of what I am, a little monster sent to punish him!

  [Jaime does not respond] 

  Tyrion Lannister : [angry]  Did he think... Did he think I wanted to be born this way? Did he think I chose...

  Jaime Lannister : [interrupts]  What do you want?

  Tyrion Lannister : Daenerys will win this war. You're a military man. You must know there's no way around that. Daenerys is not her father. She's even willing to suspend hostilities if Cersei agrees to certain terms.

  Jaime Lannister : You want Cersei to bend the knee, you can ask her yourself.

  Tyrion Lannister : I don't. Daenerys doesn't. Right now, anyway. She has a more important request.

• [Davos and Tyrion arrive in King's Landing] 

  Tyrion Lannister : Last time I was here, I killed my father with a crossbow.

  Davos Seaworth : Last time I was here, you killed my son with wildfire.

  [Davos tethers the boat] 

  Davos Seaworth : There's a path to the left that hugs the cliff. The guards hardly ever patrol it. Too many steps.

  [Davos walks up the beach past Tyrion] 

  Tyrion Lannister : You're not staying here?

  Davos Seaworth : I've got me own business in Flea Bottom.

  Tyrion Lannister : What if someone takes the boat?

  Davos Seaworth : Then we're fucked! Best hurry!

• [Gendry has killed two guards who recognized Tyrion] 

  Davos Seaworth : [to Tyrion]  This is Gendry.

  Tyrion Lannister : He'll do.

• Tyrion Lannister : I'm her Hand, not her head. I can't make her decisions for her.
