Grand Maester Pycelle
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Kings? I can tell you all there is to know about kings. The thing you need to understand about kings: in the past 67 years, I have known - truly known - more kings than any man alive. They're complicated men, but I know how to serve them. Yes. And keep on serving them.
- [Pycelle coughs]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Aerys Targaryen... of all the thousand thousand maladies the gods visit on us, madness is the worst. He was a good man, such a charmer. To watch him melt away before my eyes, consumed by dreams of fire and blood...
- [Ros stands in front of sink, washing herself]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Robert Baratheon was entirely different animal: powerful man, a great warrior. But, alas, winning a kingdom and ruling a kingdom are rather different things.
- [Pycelle chuckles]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: They say that if a man goes through life with his battle visor down, he can often be blind to enemies at his side.
- [Pycelle coughs]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Now I serve his son, king Joffrey, may the gods bless his reign. He's a capable young man...
- [Ros dresses]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: ...strong military mind, stern - but sterness in defence of the realm is no vice.
- [Pycelle coughs]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: It's far too soon to know what manner of king he will be, but I sense true greatness on the horizon for our new king. True greatness.
- [Ros sits in front of Pycelle, looking bored]
- Ros: So, what's the thing?
- Grand Maester Pycelle: [puzzled] Wha... what thing?
- Ros: About kings. You said "The thing you need to understand about kings".
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Eh... thing? What...?
- Ros: When you started... oh, never mind.
- [Ros stands and walks toward the door]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Let me see you out, my dear.
- Ros: It's alright. No need.
- [Ros leaves]
- Grand Maester Pycelle: Yes, yes, until the next time.
- [Pycelle stands and stretches a bit. He gets dressed, and leaves]
