Quotes 

• Eddard Stark : Handsome armor. Not a scratch on it.

  Jaime Lannister : I know. People have been swinging at me for years and they always seem to miss.

  Eddard Stark : Chosen your opponents wisely, then.

  Jaime Lannister : I have a knack for it.

• [Jaime enters the room] 

  Robert Baratheon : Surrounded by Lannisters. Everytime I close my eyes I see their blonde hair and their smug, satisfied faces. It must wound your pride, huh? Standing out their like a glorified sentry. Jaime Lannister, son of the mighty Tywin... forced to mind the door while your king eats and drinks and shits and fucks. So come on. We're telling war stories. Who was your first kill, not counting old men?

  Jaime Lannister : One of the outlaws in the brotherhood.

  Barristan Selmy : [to Jaime]  I was there that day. You were only a squire, 16 years old.

  Jaime Lannister : [to Selmy]  You killed Simon Toyne with a counter riposte. Best move I ever saw. A good fighter, Toyne, but he lacked stamina.

  Robert Baratheon : Your outlaw... any last words?

  Jaime Lannister : I cut his head off, so... no.

  Barristan Selmy : Hmm.

  Robert Baratheon : What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back? I never asked. Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?

  Jaime Lannister : He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours... "Burn them all".

  [Robert gapes at Jaime] 

  Jaime Lannister : If that's all, Your Grace...

  [Jaime bows to Robert and Selmy, then leaves the room] 

• Jaime Lannister : It must be strange for you... coming into this room. I was standing right here when it happened. He was very brave, your brother. Your father too. They didn't deserve to die like that. Nobody deserves to die like that.

  Eddard Stark : But you just stood there and watched.

  Jaime Lannister : Five hundred men just stood there and watched. All the great knights of the Seven Kingdoms. You think anyone said a word, lifted a finger? No, Lord Stark. Five hundred men and this room was silent as a crypt. Except for the screams, of course, and the mad king laughing. And later... when I watched the mad king die, I remembered him laughing as your father burned... it felt like justice.

  Eddard Stark : Is that what you tell yourself at night? You're a servant of justice? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword in Aerys Targaryen's back?

  Jaime Lannister : Tell me: if I'd stabbed the mad king in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more?

  Eddard Stark : You served him well when serving was safe.

• Jaime Lannister : We'll say he was lying. We'll say he was dreaming. We'll say whatever we like. I think we can outfox a ten year old.

  Cersei Lannister : And my husband?

  Jaime Lannister : I'll go to war with him if I have to... they can write a ballad about us, "The War for Cersei's Cunt!"

  [Cersei slaps Jaime. He chuckles, and she tries to slap him again, but he grabs her arm and holds her from behind, firmly but gently] 

  Cersei Lannister : Let me go...

  Jaime Lannister : Never.

  Cersei Lannister : Let me go...

  Jaime Lannister : [whispers reassuringly in Cersei's ear]  The boy won't talk. And if he does, I'll kill him, Ned Stark, the king, the whole bloody lot of them until you and I are the only people left in this world.

  [Cersei and Jaime quietly sink into a loving embrace] 

• Jaime Lannister : [mocking Ned's appointment as Hand of the King]  The king shits, and the Hand wipes.

• Jaime Lannister : Look at Me. You're a Stark of Winterfell. You know our words.

  Tywin Lannister : Winter is coming
