YgritteYou think we're savages because we don't live in stone castles. We can't make steel as good as yours, it's true, but We're free. If someone tried to tell us we couldn't lie down as man and woman, we'd shove a spear up his arse. We don't go serving some shit king who's only king because his father was.
No. No, you serve Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall.
Ygritte
We chose Mance Rayder to lead us. He was a crow, same as you, but he wanted to be free. Now, you could be free, too. You don't need to live your whole life taking commands from old men. Wake up when you want to wake up. I could show you the streams to fish, the woods to hunt. Build yourself a cabin and find a woman to lie with in the night. [gets closer to Jon] You're a pretty lad. Girls will claw each other's eyes out to get naked with you.
Ygritte
I could teach you how to do it.
Ygritte
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
BLord of Bones
We killed his friends. Thought you'd want to question this one.
What do we want with a baby Crow?
Ygritte
This baby killed Qhorin Halfhand.
That halfhanded cunt killed friends of mine. Friends twice your size.
My father taught me big men fall just as quick as little ones if you put a sword through their hearts.
Plenty of little men tried to put their swords through my heart. And there's plenty of little skeletons buried in the woods. What's your name, boy?
"Your Grace?" Do you hear that? From now on, you'd better kneel every time I fart.
[about The Wall] Have you ever climbed it before?
Ygritte
No, but Tormund's done it half a hundred times. You're afraid.
Ygritte
Aye. Well, it's a long way up, and a long way down, but... I've waited my whole life to see the world from up there. [she pulls out a set of climbing spikes] Here, sit down, brought a pair for you. They're too big for you, but they're good.
You kill someone for them?
Ygritte
Nah. I didn't kill him, but I bet his balls are still bruised. He wasn't good to me, the way you're good to me. And he didn't do that thing you do with your tongue.
Hey, can we not talk about that here?
Ygritte
"Can we not talk about that here? I'm Jon Snow. I've killed dead men and Qhorin Halfhand, but I'm scared of naked girls!"
Did I seem scared the other day?
Ygritte
[laughs] Oh, you were tremblin' like a leaf.
Ygritte
Only in the beginning. You're a proper lover, Jon Snow. And, don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Ygritte
D'you think I'm as dumb as all those girls in silk dresses you knew growing up? You're loyal, and you're brave...You didn't stop being a Crow, the day you walked into Mance Rayder's tent. But I'm your woman now, Jon Snow. You're goin' to be loyal to your woman. The Night's Watch don't care if you live or die. Mance Rayder don't care if I live or die. We're just soldiers in their armies, and there's plenty more to carry on if we go down. But it's you and me that matters. Me and you. Don't ever betray me.
Ygritte
Because, I'll cut your pretty cock right off and wear it 'round me neck.
[walks up] Sink your metal deep and make sure it holds, before taking your next step. And, if you fall, don't scream. You don't want that to be the last thing she remembers, eh?
Ygritte
How far are we?
Ygritte
You think? You don't know?
When we went to Castle Black, we took the Kingsroad.
Ygritte
You and your roads. Is that how you lot do your fighting? You march down a road, banging drums and waving banners?
Ygritte
How do the men holding the banners fight?
They don't, really. It's a great honor to carry a house sigil.
Ygritte
And the drummers? Is that a great honor too?
Usually, it's the young boys bangin' the drums.
Ygritte
What good are they?
Ygritte
How?
Well, it's, it's the rhythm.
Ygritte
[laughing] What, you mean, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot? What, you need help remembering that? When Mance gives the signal and we hit Castle Black, we won't be banging on drums to let 'em know we're coming.
No. No, you're just gonna light the biggest fire the North has ever seen, to let them know you're coming.
Ygritte
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
Ygritte, you know I didn't have a choice. You always knew who I was, what I am. I have to go home now. I know you won't hurt me.
Ygritte
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
I do know some things. I know I love you. I know that you love me. But I have to go home now!
[He turns away and Ygritte fires an arrow into his shoulder, knocking him down in agony. Jon staggers over to his horse, climbs on and rides away, but not before Ygritte shoots him twice more. She watches him go, sobbing.]
