Sandor Clegane quotes from Game of Thrones

Sandor Clegane

Any man dies with a clean sword, I'll rape his fucking corpse!

Joffrey Baratheon

We ride for King's Landing today.

Tyrion Lannister

Before you go, you will call on Lord and Lady Stark and offer your sympathies.

Joffrey Baratheon

What good will my sympathies do them?

Tyrion Lannister

None, but it is expected of you. Your absence has already been noted.

Joffrey Baratheon

The boy means nothing to me, and I can't stand the wailing of women.

Tyrion Lannister

[slaps Joffrey] One word and I hit you again.

Joffrey Baratheon

I'm telling Mother!

Tyrion Lannister

[slaps Joffrey] Go, tell her! But first you will get to Lord and Lady Stark. And you will fall on your knees in front of them and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service and that all your prayers are with them. Do you understand?

Joffrey Baratheon

You can't!

Tyrion Lannister

[slaps Joffrey] Do you understand?

Sandor Clegane

The Prince will remember that, little Lord.

Tyrion Lannister

I hope so. If he forgets, be a good dog and remind him.

Joffrey Baratheon

Hound, tell the Hand that his King has asked him a question.

Sandor Clegane

The King has asked you a question.

Tyrion Lannister

Ser Lancel, tell the Hound to tell the King that the Hand is extremely busy.

Lancel Lannister

The Hand of the King would like me to tell you to tell the King that...

Joffrey Baratheon

If I tell the Hound to cut you in half, he'll do it without a second thought.

Tyrion Lannister

That would make me the "Quarter Man"; just doesn't have the same ring to it. Cut me in half and I won't be able to give the signal. No signal, no plan. No plan and Stannis Baratheon sacks this city, takes the Iron Throne, puts your pinched little head atop a gate somewhere. It might be quite amusing, except my head would be up there too! I've never much liked my head, but I don't want to see it removed just yet.

Tyrion Lannister

Can I get you some iced milk and a nice bowl of raspberries, too?

Sandor Clegane

Eat shit, dwarf.

Tyrion Lannister

You're on the wrong side of the wall!

Sandor Clegane

I lost half of my men. The Blackwater's on fire.

Joffrey Baratheon

Dog, I command you to go back out there and fight!

Tyrion Lannister

You're Kingsguard, Clegane. We must beat them back, or they're going to take this city! Your King's city!

Sandor Clegane

Fuck the Kingsguard! Fuck the city! [turns to Joffrey] Fuck the King!

Sandor Clegane

The lady's starting to panic.

Sansa Stark

What are you doing here?

Sandor Clegane

Not here for long. I'm going.

Sansa Stark

Where?

Sandor Clegane

Someplace that isn't burning. North, might be. Could be.

Sansa Stark

What about the King?

Sandor Clegane

He can die just fine on his own. [takes a long drink from his wineskin] I could take you with me. Take you to Winterfell. [stands up] I'll keep you safe. You want to go home?

Sansa Stark

I'll be safe here. Stannis won't hurt me.

Sandor Clegane

Look at me! Stannis is a killer. The Lannisters are killers. Your father was a killer. Your brother is a killer. Your sons will be killers someday. The world is built by killers... so you better get used to looking at them.

Sansa Stark

[in a quietly defiant voice] You won't hurt me.

Sandor Clegane

[pause] No, little bird, I won't hurt you. [walks out]

What d'you want?

Arya Stark

Mind if I keep warm?

Fuck off!

Arya Stark

But I'm hungry.

Does "Fuck off" mean something different where you're from?

Arya Stark

I've got money. [she reaches into her belt pouch and pulls out the Braavosi coin Jacquen gave her]

What kinda coin is that?

Arya Stark

It's worth a lot. [she drops it on the ground when he reaches for it] Sorry.

Little shit. [as he leans over to pick up the coin, Arya violently stabs him several times in the back and neck. Sandor Clegane then kills all three of them.]

Sandor Clegane

Where did you get the knife?

Arya Stark

From you.

Sandor Clegane

Is that the first man you've killed?

Arya Stark

The first man.

Sandor Clegane

The next time you're going to do something like that, tell me first!

Arya Stark

[picks up the Braavosi coin] Valar Morghulis.

Arya Stark

When am I going to get a horse of my own?

Sandor Clegane

Little lady wants a pony.

Arya Stark

Little lady wants away from your stench.

Sandor Clegane

Horses aren't easy to come by. Even if they were, think I'm gonna put you on your own horse? Watch the only thing of value I've got in the world ride away?

Arya Stark

Why don't you have any money? Didn't you steal anything from Joffrey before you left?

Sandor Clegane

No.

Arya Stark

You're not very smart, are you?

Sandor Clegane

I'm not a thief.

Arya Stark

You're fine with murdering little boys, but thieving is beneath you.

Sandor Clegane

Man's got to have a code.

Arya Stark

You think I'm gonna escape. Where would I go? I'd be dead by nightfall without you, my family's gone, I've got no one.

Sandor Clegane

You've got an aunt in the Vale. Your rich aunt Lysa. After I sell you to her, maybe she'll have enough left over to buy you that pony you want so much.

Hey, I know you. You're the Hound! Pour our new friend some ale! What brings you so far north?

Sandor Clegane

I could ask the same of you. What're you doing up here?

Just keepin' the King's peace.

Sandor Clegane

No need, war's over.

So I've heard. Stannis defeated at the Blackwater, Robb Stark killed at the Twins, and where am I for all of it? Stuck with your brother. Meaning no offense.

Sandor Clegane

None taken.

He's good, the Mountain is. Best at what he does. But torture, torture, torture, torture. You spend enough time puttin' a hammer to people, and you start to feel like a carpenter making chairs. Drains the fun right out of it! And what's life without a little fun? Well, I don't need to tell you that, eh?

Sandor Clegane

She's all right. I've had better.

You know what? You should come with us. His kind, they've always got something hidden away, gold, silver, more daughters. Always something, if you know how to make em talk and there's plenty of 'em between here and King's Landing. You could do well for yourself. We certainly have been!

Sandor Clegane

I'm not going to King's Landing.

But think about it. We can do whatever we like, wherever we go! These are the King's colors. No one's standing in his way now... which means no one's standing in ours.

Sandor Clegane

Fuck the King.

When I heard that Joffrey's dog had turned tail and run at the Battle of the Blackwater, I didn't believe it. But, here you are.

Sandor Clegane

Here I am. Bring me one of those chickens.

You got money to pay for it?

Sandor Clegane

You paid for it?

No, but we're the King's men. So, you got money?

Sandor Clegane

Not a penny. I'll still take that chicken.

Tell you what. We'll trade you. One of our little chickens for one of yours. Give us a go at your friend. Lowell there likes them a bit broken in.

Sandor Clegane

You're a talker. Listening to talkers...makes me thirsty. And hungry. Think I'll take two chickens.

You don't seem to understand the situation.

Sandor Clegane

I understand, that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth... I'm gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.

You lived your life for the King. You gonna die for some chickens?

Sandor Clegane

Someone is.

Arya Stark

Joffrey...Cersei...Walder Frey...Meryn Trant...Tywin Lannister...The Red Woman...Beric Dondarrion...Thoros of Myr...Illyn Payne...The Mountain...

Sandor Clegane

Would you shut up?

Arya Stark

I can't sleep until I say the names.

Sandor Clegane

The names of every fucking person in Westeros?

Arya Stark

Only the ones I'm going to kill.

Sandor Clegane

Huh. Hate's as good a thing as any to keep a man going, better than most. [pause] We come across my brother, maybe we can both cross a name off a list.

Arya Stark

If he were here right now, what would you do?

Sandor Clegane

I'd tell him to shut the fuck up so I can get some sleep. Go on, get it over with, your list of doomed men.

Arya Stark

I'm almost done. Only one name left.

Sandor Clegane

Go on!

Arya Stark

([lies down] The Hound.

Sandor Clegane

[on Arya's 'water-dancing'] Who taught you that shite?

Arya

The greatest swordsman who ever lived. Syrio Forel, the First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos.

Sandor Clegane

Braavos. Greasy-haired little bastard women, they all are.

Arya

What do you know about anything?

Sandor Clegane

I bet his hair's greasier than Joffrey's cunt.

Arya

It was not!

Sandor Clegane

'Was?' He dead?

Arya

Yes!

Sandor Clegane

How?

Arya

He was killed!

Sandor Clegane

Who by?

Arya

Meryn Trant! That's why Ser Meryn's on my-

Sandor Clegane

[in disbelief] Meryn Trant? 'The greatest swordsman who ever lived' killed by Meryn fucking Trant?

Arya

He was outnumbered!

Sandor Clegane

Any boy-whore with a sword could beat three Meryn Trants.

Arya

Syrio didn't have a sword! Or armour! Just a stick!

Sandor Clegane

[laughing] The greatest swordsman who ever lived didn't have a sword? All right. You have a sword. Let's see what he taught you. Go on, do it for your Braavosi friend. Dead like all the rest of your friends.

Sandor Clegane

Your friend's dead and Meryn Trant's not, because Trant had armour and a big fucking sword. [hands Needle back to her and walks away]

There's a price on your head.

Sandor Clegane

Yes, that's what the King does when you tell him to fuck off.

The King's dead. He drank poisoned wine at his own wedding. The bounty on you is for killing Lannister soldiers, a hundred silver stags.

Sandor Clegane

And you thought you were going to collect it? Didn't think very hard, did you?

Arya Stark

You were Yoren's prisoners, when he was taking me to the Wall. He told me he'd fuck me bloody with a stick.

Sandor Clegane

[to Rorge] This day's really not working out the way you planned. [to Arya] He on your little list?

Arya Stark

He can't be. I don't know his name.

Sandor Clegane

What's your name?

Rorge.

Arya Stark

Thank you. [draws Needle and stabs Rorge through the heart]

Sandor Clegane

You're learning.

Sandor Clegane

Are you still here? [coughs up blood] Big bitch saved you.

Arya Stark

I don't need saving.

Sandor Clegane

No, not you. You're a real killer, with your water-dancing and your Needle.

Arya Stark

You going to die?

Sandor Clegane

Unless there's a maester hiding behind that rock... aye. I'm done. I'd skin you alive for wine. [Arya reaches for her waterskin] Fuck waterǃ [chuckles] Killed by a woman. I bet you like that. Go on. Go after her. She'll help you. [Arya shakes her head] Going it alone, you won't last a day out there.

Arya Stark

I'll last longer than you.

Sandor Clegane

You remember where the heart is? [Arya nods] Fuck it... I'm ready. Go on, girl. Another name off your list. You kept promising me... I cut down your butcher's boy, the ginger. He was begging for mercy. "Please, ser, please don't kill meǃ Pleaseǃ Pleaseǃ" Bled all over my horse. Saddle stunk of butcher's boy for weeks. And your sister, your pretty sister. I should've taken her, that night the Blackwater burned. I should've fucked her bloody. At least I'd have one happy memory. [Arya does not react, continues to stare] Do I have to beg you? Do it. Do it. Do itǃ [Arya stands and approaches him, hand on her swordhilt...but instead she kneels and takes his gold pouch] Kill me. Kill meǃ KILL MEǃ KILL MEǃǃǃ

I think some of the men are afraid of you.

Sandor Clegane

I'm used to it. [sips his drink]

When I found you, I thought you'd been dead for days. Well, you were stinkin' already, and you had bugs all over ya, and bone was comin' through, right there. [pokes the Hound's leg, right above his knee] Was gonna give you a proper burial, and then you coughed. Ha! Nearly shit meself. I reckoned you were gonna die by the time I loaded you on the wagon, but you didn't, and I reckoned you'd die a dozen more times over the next few days, but you didn't. What kept you goin'?

Sandor Clegane

Hate.

No. There's a reason you're still here.

Sandor Clegane

Aye, there's a reason. I'm a big fucker and I'm tough to kill.

No, a reason. Gods aren't done with you yet.

Sandor Clegane

I've heard that before. Man was talkin' about a different god, though.

Well, maybe he was right. I don't know much about the gods.

Sandor Clegane

You're in the wrong line of work.

Oh, there's plenty of pious sons of bitches who think they know the word of god, or gods. I don't. I don't even know their real names. Maybe it is the Seven, or maybe it's the Old Gods, or maybe it's the Lord of Light, or maybe they're all the same fuckin' thing. I don't know. What matters, I believe, is that there's something greater than us, and whatever it is, it's got plans for Sandor Clegane.

Sandor Clegane

You didn't know me back in my time. You don't know the things I've done.

I've heard stories.

Sandor Clegane

If the gods are real, why haven't they punished me?

They have.

Clegane. The fuck you doing here?

Sandor Clegane

[Pointing at their three captives] Chasing them. You?

Hanging them.

Sandor Clegane

Any particular reason?

Beric Dondarrion

They're our men, or they were. They attacked a nearby sept and murdered the villagers. Why do you want them?

Sandor Clegane

Same reason. I was helping build it. They killed a friend of mine.

You've got friends?

Sandor Clegane

Not anymore. They're mine.

Beric Dondarrion

It's the Brotherhood's good name they've dragged through the dirt.

Sandor Clegane

Fuck your name, they're mine. Killed you once before, Dondarrion, happy to do it again.

Sandor Clegane

Drop that arrow, you bloody girl. Tougher girls than you tried to kill me.

Beric Dondarrion

You can have one of them.

Sandor Clegane

Two.

No, no, no, no, no. We're not butchers. We hang them.

Sandor Clegane

Hanging? All over in an instant, where's the punishment in that?

They die.

Sandor Clegane

[Tilting his head towards Beric] We all bloody die, except this one here. Well, let me gut one of them.

Beric Dondarrion

No.

Sandor Clegane

Chop off one hand.

Beric Dondarrion

We gave you two of the three out of respect for your loss. That's generous.

Sandor Clegane

Bunch of nancies. There was a time I would have killed all seven of you just to gut these three.

You're getting old, Clegane.

Sandor Clegane

[nods to one of the prisoners] He's not.

Please, don't. I'll give you anything.

Sandor Clegane

Got anything to eat?

Tormund Giantsbane

Did you trip into the fire when you were a baby?

Sandor Clegane

I didn't trip, I was pushed.

Tormund Giantsbane

And ever since, you've been mean.

Sandor Clegane

Will you fuck off?

Tormund Giantsbane

I don't think you're truly mean. You have sad eyes.

Sandor Clegane

You want to suck my dick, is that it?

Tormund Giantsbane

Dick?

Sandor Clegane

Cock.

Tormund Giantsbane

Ah, dick. I like it.

Sandor Clegane

I bet you do.

Tormund Giantsbane

Nope, it's pussy for me. I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell. If I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes, the tallest woman you've ever seen. Almost as tall as you.

Sandor Clegane

Brienne of Tarth.

Tormund Giantsbane

You know her?

Sandor Clegane

You're with Brienne of fucking Tarth?

Tormund Giantsbane

Well, not with her yet. But I see the way she looks at me.

Sandor Clegane

How does she look at you? Like she wants to carve you up and eat your liver?

Tormund Giantsbane

You do know her.

Sandor Clegane

We've met.

Tormund Giantsbane

I want to make babies with her. Think of them - great big monsters. They'd conquer the world.

Sandor Clegane

How did a mad fucker like you live this long?

Tormund Giantsbane

I'm good at killing people.
