— I always wanted to do the right thing. Be the right kind of person. But never knew what that meant. It's always seemed like there was... Like there was an impossible choice I had to make. Stark or Greyjoy.
— Our father was more of a father to you than yours ever was. And you betrayed him. Betrayed his memory.

— Please, don't go! You can't leave, please. I'll never forgive you!
— I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never forgive myself. If a bullet gets me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. Thereis one thing I do know, and that is I love you, Scarlett. Inspite of you and meand the world going to pieces, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd, but able to look things in the eye and call them by name.

All the promises and lies
All the times I compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven
