Quotes 

• Daenerys Targaryen : How did you get in here?

  Daario Naharis : Your door is well guarded...

  Daario Naharis : [snickers]  ... but your window is not.

  [Daenerys approaches. Daario offers her a bouquet of flowers] 

  Daario Naharis : I swam to an island a mile offshore for these.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Don't do that again.

  Daario Naharis : Never met a woman who didn't like wildflowers.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [in imperial tone]  These are my private quarters. If I want you here, I will summon you.

  Daario Naharis : [kneels]  Forgive me, my queen, I live to serve you.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Tell me why you're here.

  Daario Naharis : I came to ask a favor. I only have two talents in this world. War and women. You are staying here in Meereen to rule. That is a wise decision. I respect it. But here in Meereen I cannot pursue my talents.

  Daenerys Targaryen : I've ordered the Second Sons to patrol the streets to stop the revenge killings.

  Daario Naharis : You've ordered us to be night watchmen.

  Daenerys Targaryen : And as for women, there are thousands in Meereen you can pursue.

  Daario Naharis : There's only one... and she does not want me.

  Daenerys Targaryen : You swore me your sword.

  Daario Naharis : My sword is yours till the day I die.

  Daenerys Targaryen : So if I command you to stay in Meereen and patrol the streets?

  Daario Naharis : I'll stay in Meereen and patrol the streets.

  Daario Naharis : [implores]  Send me to kill your enemies. Any enemy, anywhere. Let me do what I do best.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Very well.

  [Daenerys rises, and casually pours herself a drink] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : Do what you do best. Take off your clothes.

• [Jorah meets up with Daario, who is on his way out] 

  Jorah Mormont : Khaleesi.

  Daenerys Targaryen : You're here early.

  Jorah Mormont : Later than some.

  Daenerys Targaryen : You don't approve?

  Jorah Mormont : It's not a question of approval, it's a question of trust.

  Daenerys Targaryen : You neither approve nor trust.

  Jorah Mormont : Why would I? The man's a sellsword.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Didn't you fight for the Golden Company before pledging your sword to my brother?

  Jorah Mormont : I did.

  Daenerys Targaryen : I trust you.

  Jorah Mormont : Daario Naharis killed his captains and dumped their heads at your feet when he grew tired of their commands. How could you ever have faith in a man like that?

  Daenerys Targaryen : I could never have faith in a man like Daario. That's why I sent him and the Second Sons to retake Yunkai.

  Jorah Mormont : You have?

  Daenerys Targaryen : I have.

  Jorah Mormont : Without you to rule there, Khaleesi, I fear the Masters will simply bide their time, wait for the invaders to leave, and reassert control.

  Daenerys Targaryen : That is why I ordered Daario to execute every Master in Yunkai.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [sees his concern]  The Masters tear babies from their mothers' arms. They mutilate little boys by the thousands. They train little girls in the art of pleasuring old men. They treat men like beasts, as you said yourself.

  Jorah Mormont : Herding the Masters into pens and slaughtering them by the thousands is also treating men like beasts. The slaves you freed, brutality is all they've ever known. If you want them to know something else, you'll have to show it to them.

  Daenerys Targaryen : [with folded arms]  And repay the slavers with what? Kindness? A fine? A stern warning?

  [Daenerys nods petulantly] 

  Jorah Mormont : It's tempting to see your enemies as evil, all of them, but there's good and evil on both sides in every war ever fought.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Let the priests argue over good and evil. Slavery is real. I can end it. I will end it, and I will end those behind it.

  Jorah Mormont : I sold men into slavery, Khaleesi.

  Daenerys Targaryen : And now... you are helping me show them to freedom.

  Jorah Mormont : I wouldn't be here to help you if Ned Stark had done to me what you want to do to the Masters of Yunkai.

  [Daenerys reconsiders, has a change of heart] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : The man who came to me the other day about burying his father...

  Jorah Mormont : Hizdahr zo Loraq?

  Daenerys Targaryen : He will accompany the Second Sons and serve as my ambassador to Yunkai. He will tell the Masters what has happened in Meereen. He will explain the choice they have before them. They can live in my new world or they can die in their old one. Well, go and catch Daario before you leave. Tell him I changed my mind.

  Jorah Mormont : [wearily]  Yes, Khaleesi.

  [Jorah goes off] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : No.

  [Jorah stops, looks back] 

  Daenerys Targaryen : Tell him you changed my mind.
