You should be proud of your brother's achievement. I took the great castle of Winterfell with twenty men.
Yara GreyjoyYou're a great warrior. I saw the bodies above your gates. Which one gave you the tougher fight, the cripple or the six-year-old?
I treated the Stark boys with honour and they repaid me with treachery.
Yara Greyjoy
You treated them with honour by butchering them?
Before I had to kill them, I treated them...
Yara Greyjoy
You seized their home, as is your right. We're Ironborn; we take what we need.
Yara Greyjoy
Then, you made them prisoners in their home and they ran away. Is that treachery? I'd call it bravery.
Yara Greyjoy
Your little boy prisoners made you a promise and you got mad when they broke it? Are you the dumbest cunt alive?
Yara Greyjoy
A cunt. A dumb cunt who killed the only two Starks in Winterfell. You know how valuable those boys were?
If I hadn't killed them, the Northerners would think me weak.
Yara Greyjoy
You are weak. And you're stupid.
BGBolton guard
[about Theon/Reek] Last cage on the right!
Yara Greyjoy
Thank you. [she slits his throat with her hatchet] We're going home.
No! [backs away from her as she opens the door]
Yara Greyjoy
It's all right! It's me,Yara.
You can't trick me! Tell him! Tell him you couldn't trick me!
Yara Greyjoy
I'm not tricking you, Theon! I'm saving you.
Not Theon! Reek! Reek! My name's Reek!
BGBolton guards
They're here!
GBGreyjoy bannerman
If they catch us in here, we're trapped!
Yara Greyjoy
Help me with him!
[crying hysterically] No, you can't! You can't!
Yara Greyjoy
You're Theon Greyjoy!
No! I've never been him! Please- I'm Reek, good Reek, I've always been Reek!
[entering the kennels] This is turning into a lovely evening.
[The Bolton and Greyjoy forces attack each other]
Yara Greyjoy
Aaargh! Theon! Give me my brother back, and no more of your men will die.
You've got bigger balls than he ever did. But, with those... big balls of yours... [grins as he unlocks the hounds' cages] How fast can you run?
AGAeron Greyjoy
We speak in the presence of the Drowned God. In his name, we gather today to choose a new king as our leader. Who makes a claim?
Yara Greyjoy
I am Yara Greyjoy, daughter of Balon Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands. I claim the Salt Throne.
IIronborn
We never had a queen! Not once!
Yara Greyjoy
There are many things we've never done. We've never made our mark upon the world. The great lords of Westeros pay us no mind, until our little raids buzz through their kingdoms long enough to become a nuisance and they swat us down, they conquer us, humiliate us, and go right back to forgetting we exist. We are a sea people! Our god is a sea god. [The crowd cheers] When I am queen, we will build a fleet that...
I2Ironborn #2
You cannot be queen!
Yara Greyjoy
I am not finished!
I2Ironborn #2
Yes you are! A woman will not lead us, not when Balon's own male heir has returned!
[The crowd looks at Theon. Theon steps forward]
I am Theon Greyjoy, last living son of Balon Greyjoy. And she is your rightful ruler. Those of you that have sailed under her, and there are many of you here, you know what she is. She is a reaver, she is a warrior, she is ironborn! We will find no better leader! This is our queen.
[The crowd cheers, shouting "Yara! over and over]
I'm Euron Greyjoy! I claim the Salt Throne! Niece. Nephew. Little Theon. Heard you managed to fuck things right into the ground. Captured a castle you couldn't keep, got yourself taken prisoner...even heard you have no cock. Which explains why you would think a woman can be king.
Yara Greyjoy
When did you return, uncle?
A few days ago. I had some things to take care of. Long overdue.
Yara Greyjoy
I'm glad you're here. Now I know what my first act as queen will be: to execute the man who killed my father.
I did. I killed him. Threw him right over a rope bridge. I watched him fall. He was leading us nowhere and we would still be heading there if it weren't for me. No one loved him, no one wanted to follow him, he led us into two wars we couldn't win. I apologize to you all for not killing him years ago.
That would've been hard to do. You weren't here. Last I heard you were galavanting around the world having a grand ol' time.
Galavanting? Is that the sort of thing you start to say once your dick gets chopped off? Did the great lords of Westeros teach you words like that?
You were gone. Yara was here. Being ironborn, leading ironborn, getting ready to bring us back to glory.
And how will she do that?
Yara Greyjoy
I will build the largest fleet the world has ever seen.
Bright idea, except I'm the one who's going to build the Iron Fleet because I'm the one who knows how to use it. I've been all over the world, I've seen more of it than all of you combined, and across the sea, there is a person who hates the great lords of Westeros just as much as we do. Someone with a large army, three large dragons, and no husband. I'm going to build that fleet and I'm going to galavant right over and give it to Daenerys Targaryen, along with my big cock.
Yara Greyjoy
You're going to seduce the Dragon Queen?
I'm not going to seduce her. The Iron Fleet will seduce her. And together we're going to take the Seven Kingdoms. I wasn't born to be king. I paid the iron price. And here I stand.
[The crowd cheers, shouting "Euron" over and over]
You think Uncle Euron's hunting for us?
Yara Greyjoy
Of course he is. As long as we're alive, we're a threat.
Yara Greyjoy
It's a great big world, and we have fast ships. Drink.
Yara Greyjoy
I don't care what you want. Drink. [Theon takes a quick sip] Drink it all. [he drinks more] You're Ironborn, Theon. I know you've had some bad years.
Yara Greyjoy
I'm tired of watching you cower like a beat dog! Drink the goddamn ale! [Theon does so] Now listen to me. I need you - the real Theon Greyjoy, not this ratshit pretender. Can you find him for me? Drink. [Theon drinks] You escaped, you hear me? You got away and you're never going back. We'll get justice for you.
If I got justice, my burnt body would hang over the gates of Winterfell.
Yara Greyjoy
Fuck justice, then, we'll get revenge. Drink. [Theon drinks again] Listen to me. If you're so broken that there's no coming back, take a knife and cut your wrists. End it. But if you're staying, Theon, I need you. We're gonna sail to Meereen. We're gonna make a pact with this... Dragon Queen, and we're gonna take back the Iron Islands. Are you with me? Are you really with me? [Theon nods. Relieved, Yara kisses his forehead, smiling] Now, since it's my last night ashore for a long while, I'm gonna go fuck the tits off this one.
Yara Greyjoy
If you want the Iron Throne, take it. We have an army, a fleet and three dragons. We should hit King's Landing now, hard, with everything we have. The city will fall within a day.
If we turn the dragons loose, tens of thousands will die in the firestorms.
It's called war. You don't have the stomach for it, scurry back into hiding.
I know how you wage war. We don't poison little girls here. Myrcella was innocent.
She was a Lannister. There are no innocent Lannisters. My greatest regret is that Oberyn died fighting for you.
That's enough! Lord Tyrion is Hand of the Queen; you will treat him with respect. I am not here to be queen of the ashes.
That's very nice to hear. Of course, I can't remember a queen who was better loved than my granddaughter. The common people loved her; the nobles loved her. And what is left of her now? Ashes. Commoners, nobles, they're all just children, really. They won't obey you unless they fear you.
