- Floki: Who needs a reason for betrayal? One must always think the worst, Ragnar, even of your own kin. That way you avoid too much disappointment in life.
- Bjorn Lothbrok: She brings unhappiness and difficulty.
- Ragnar Lothbrok: I know it is hard for you to accept.
- Ragnar Lothbrok: But unhappiness is more common than happiness.
- Ragnar Lothbrok: Who told you you should be happy?
- Ragnar Lothbrok: Gyda, I have come to say goodbye to you properly. I have been thinking about you, about when you were small. You were so lively, you could run as swiftly as the wind. You were like quick-silver. But then, before I knew it, you stopped running here and there and everywhere and you became still. At 12-years-old, you had the stillness and the calm of a fine woman. What children you would have produced! What joy that would have brought to all of us. Dear child, Gyda, you are not gone because you are always in my heart. They say that a man must love his sons more, but a man can be jealous of his sons, and his daughter can always be the light in his life. I know very well that you are with the gods, but I will wait here awhile, and if you want to come and talk to me, then come and talk, and I will gently stroke your long and beautiful hair once again with my peasant hands.
- Rollo: I wanted to step out of your shadow... but when I stepped out of the doors, there was no sunlight.
- Rollo: It would have been better for me, for you, for everyone if I had been executed.
- Siggy: So you take not account of the gods?
- Siggy: What is it that the gods have offered you?
- Rollo: A lifetime of humiliation!
- Siggy: No that is not it.
- Siggy: The goes have offered you a chance to be reborn, to be redeemed, to gain Valhalla. That is what they have offered you.
