— You are no knight.
— You have forsaken every vow you ever took. So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the king, obey the king, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the king? What if the king massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another.
— You promise me a lordship and a castle and a highborn beauty for a wife.
— And you'll get all three. A Lannister always...
— Don't say it. Don't fucking say it.
— Three victories don't make you a conqueror.
— It's better than three defeats.
— Very handsome armor. Not a scratch on it.
— I know. People have been swinging at me for years, but they always seem to miss.
— You've chosen your opponents wisely then.
— I have a knack for it.
— And once we've got the princess, then what?
— I like to improvise.
— That explains the golden hand.
— What are you doing?
— I'm dying.
— You can't die. You need to live to take revenge.
— I don't care about revenge.
— You coward. A little misfortune and you're giving up.
— Misfor... Misfortune?
— You lost your hand.
— My sword hand I was that hand.
— You have a taste, one taste of the real world where people have important things taken from them, and you whine and cry and quit.
— You should be The Hand of the King.
— That's an honor I can do without. Their days are too long, their lives are too short.
Only a fool makes threats he's not prepared to carry out.
