Jaqen H'ghar quotes from Game of Thrones ... TV Quotes Database

[Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie encounter Jaqen on the road after their escape from Harrenhal]

Arya Stark

What are you doing here?

Jaqen H'ghar

Waiting for you.

Arya Stark

How did you know we'd come this way?

Jaqen H'ghar

After all the things you have seen, this is your question?

Arya Stark

How did you kill those guards? Was it hard?

Jaqen H'ghar

No harder than taking a new name, if you know the way.

Arya Stark

Show me how. I want to be able to do it too.

Jaqen H'ghar

If you would learn, you must come with me.

Arya Stark

Where?

Jaqen H'ghar

Far and away across the Narrow Sea, to Braavos.

Arya Stark

My dancing master's from Braavos.

Jaqen H'ghar

[chuckles] To be a dancing master is a special thing, but... to be a Faceless Man... that is something else entirely. A girl has many names on her lips. Joffrey. Cersei. Tywin Lannister. Ilyn Payne. The Hound. Names to offer up to the Red God. She could offer them all. One by one.

Arya Stark

I want to... but I can't. I need to find my brother and mother. And my sister. I need to find her too.

Jaqen H'ghar

Then we must part. A man has duties as well. [reaches into a pouch and produces a coin] Here.

Arya Stark

What is it?

Jaqen H'ghar

A coin of great value.

Arya Stark

[takes the coin] Could it buy a horse?

Jaqen H'ghar

It is not meant for the buying of horses.

Arya Stark

Then what good is it?

Jaqen H'ghar

If the day comes when you must find me again, just give that coin to any man from Braavos and say these words to him: "Valar morghulis."

Arya Stark

"Valar morghulis."

[Jaqen starts to walk away]

Arya Stark

Please don't go, Jaqen.

Jaqen H'ghar

[turns back to Arya] Jaqen is dead. Say it again: "Valar morghulis."

Arya Stark

"Valar morghulis."

Jaqen H'ghar

Good. [turns away, and when he looks back, his face has mysteriously changed to that of a stranger. Arya stares at him in shock] Farewell, Arya Stark.

Arya Stark

You said there was no Jaqen H'ghar here.

Jaqen H'ghar

There isn't. A man is not Jaqen H'ghar.

Arya Stark

Well, then who are you, then?

Jaqen H'ghar

No one. And that is who a girl must become.

[As Arya returns the face she stole from the Hall of Faces, she is confronted by Jaqen and the Waif.]

Jaqen H'ghar

A girl has taken a life. The wrong life.

WThe Waif

I was right about her.

Jaqen H'ghar

You were.

WThe Waif

You're not ready. Not at all.

Jaqen H'ghar

That man's life was not yours to take. A girl stole from the Many-Faced God. Now a debt is owed. [holds up a vial of poison from the Pool and removes the cork; horrified, Arya struggles as the Waif forces her closer] Only death can pay for life.

[Jaqen lifts the vial and drinks it himself. The Waif releases Arya, who stares up at Jaqen in horror as he collapses to the ground.]

Arya Stark

No! No! No, you... don't die! Don't die!

WThe Waif

Why are you crying?

Arya Stark

He was my friend.

WThe Waif

No, he wasn't. Didn't you listen to him? [her voice changes to that of Jaqen] He was no one. [Arya spins around in shock to discover Jaqen, who had been using the Waif's face]

Arya Stark

But if you're... who's this?

Jaqen H'ghar

No one at all. Just as a girl should have been before she took a face from the Hall. The faces are for no one. You are still someone. And to someone, the faces are as good as poison.

[Arya removes several faces from the dead man, eventually discovering her own face. Her vision starts to blur.]

Arya Stark

I can't see. What's happening? What's happening?!

[Jaqen at the House of Black and White follows a trail of blood to see a freshly-carved face of The Waif added to the hall.]

Arya Stark

[referring to The Waif] You told her to kill me.

Jaqen H'ghar

[turns to see Arya pointing Needle to his chest] Yes. But here you are. And there she is. Finally, a girl is No One.

Arya

A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I'm going home.
