Quotes
-
Jon Snow : Lord Janos, I'm giving you command of Greyguard.
Janos Slynt : Greyguard is a ruin.
Jon Snow : Yes, the Fort is in a sorry state, restore it as best you can. First Builder Yarwick can spare 10...
Janos Slynt : [interrupting] I was charged with the defence of King's Landing when you were still soiling your swaddling clothes. Keep your ruin!
[other Night's Watch members jeer at Janos]
Samwell Tarly : Alright, alright! That's enough of that!
[jeering stops]
Jon Snow : You mistake me, my lord. That was a command, not an offer. Pack your arms and armour, say your farewells, and ride for Greyguard.
Janos Slynt : [stands, scowling] I will not go off to meekly freeze and die. Give it to one of the fools who cast a stone for you! I will not have it! Do you hear me, boy? I will not have it!
Jon Snow : Are you refusing to obey my order?
[long, tense silence]
Janos Slynt : You can take your order, and stick it up your bastard ass!
[shocked murmurs from the Night's Watch]
Jon Snow : [coldly] Take Lord Janos outside. Olly, bring me my sword.
[the Night's Watch begin filing out of the mess hall into the courtyard. Two men grab Slynt and drag him outside]
Janos Slynt : [struggling to escape] You cannot do this! Get your hands off me! Stop, all of you! If the boy thinks he can frighten me, he's mistaken, yes, very mistaken! Disgrace! I have friends in the Capital, you'll see!
[Slynt is forced to kneel onto a chopping block. Jon steps onto the gallows, and unsheathes Longclaw]
Jon Snow : If you have any last words, my lord, now's the time.
Janos Slynt : [terrified] I was wrong! You're the Lord Commander, we all serve you! I'm sorry, not only for this, but for all I've done and said! I was wrong!
[Jon raises Longclaw to behead Slynt]
Janos Slynt : My lord, please! Mercy, mercy!
[Jon hesitates]
Janos Slynt : I'll go, I will!
[Slynt starts weeping]
Janos Slynt : Please, I'm afraid! I've always been afraid!
[Slynt breaks down sobbing. Jon glares angrily, then beheads Slynt]
