— Have you nothing to say in your defence?
— Nothing but this... I did not do it. I did not kill Joffrey, but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than 1,000 lying whores. I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.
— Father, I wish to confess.
— You wish to confess?
— I saved you. I saved this city and all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all.
— Tyrion. Do you wish to confess?
— Yes, Father. I'm guilty. Is that what you want to hear?
— You admit you poisoned the king?
— No, of that I'm innocent. I'm guilty of a far more monstrous crime. I am guilty of being a dwarf.
— You are not on trial for being a dwarf.
— Oh, yes, I am. I've been on trial for that my entire life.

— Ser Meryn. Escort the prisoner back to his cell.
— I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder. And I know I'll get no justice here. So I will let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.
