Osha quotes from Game of Thrones

Osha

You've been having those dreams again.

I don't dream.

Osha

Everyone dreams.

I don't. I heard some of the men talking about the comet. [looks up at said comet in the sky] They say it's an omen. They say it means Robb will win a great victory in the South.

Osha

Did they?

Osha

I heard some other fools say it's Lannister red. Means the Lannisters will rule all Seven Kingdoms before long. I heard a stable boy say it's the colour of blood, to mark the death of you father. [places Bran on the ground] The stars don't fall for men. The red comet means one thing, boy: Dragons.

The dragons are all dead. They've been dead for centuries.

Tell us what medicine to get from your chambers.

We'll make you better.

Maester Luwin

I feel just fine.

They burned it down. They burned everything.

Maester Luwin

Not everything. Not you. But they may come back. You have to go. Put on your warmest clothes, pack as much food as you can carry, and go north.

Osha

North is the wrong way. Their mother and brother are south.

Maester Luwin

We don't know where. There are too many enemies in the south. Go to the wall, to Jon. He'll look after you and let your mother know you're safe.

I don't want to leave you.

Maester Luwin

No more than I want to leave you. I pulled you into the world. Both of you. I've seen both your faces almost every day since, and for that I consider myself very, very lucky. Go now with Hodor. Go on. I'll be right here. [Bran and Rickon leave with Hodor.] Osha, you must protect them. You're the only one who can. You may have to protect them against your own kind.

Osha

I have no great love for my own kind. I'll get you milk of the poppy. Tell me where to find it.

Maester Luwin

I don't want milk of the poppy.

Maester Luwin

Do it quickly.

Osha

Isn't he ashamed, your brother, needing you to protect him?

Meera Reed

Where's the shame in that?

Osha

Any boy his age who needs his sister to protect him is gonna find himself needing lots of protecting.

Meera Reed

Some people will always need help. That doesn't mean they're not worth helping.

Osha

[about Jojen] What's he goin' on about? And how come he always gets to sit and chat, while we do all the work?

Hodor.

That's where we are...

Osha

What are you tellin' him?

It's all right, Osha.

Osha

It's not all right. You think I can't hear you every day? Filling his head with black magic? Talking about visions and three-eyed ravens and worse?

Meera Reed

Leave him alone.

Osha

He can speak for himself.

I don't fill his head with anything.

Osha

So what d'you talk about?

What's happening to him, and...what that means.

Osha

Go on, then. Tell us what it means.

It's not like that. I wish that I could tell him all the answers; it would be much easier.

Osha

I don't want you talking to him anymore, until we get to your brother at Castle Black.

We're not going to Castle Black.

Osha

What did you say?

I told you already. Jon Snow isn't there. Bran needs to find the Raven, beyond the Wall.

Osha

Oh, no. I'm not going back there! Your brother is at Castle Black. That's where we're going! Look at me.

The raven's been coming to me, ever since I fell from that tower. He wants me to find him. I don't have my legs anymore! This is what I have, now.

Osha

You have a family. You need to go back to Castle Black, so you can get back to them, where you belong.

What if I belong in the North? What if...I fell from that tower for a reason?

Osha

[glares at Jojen] Is that what he's telling you? That it's all for a reason? All these bad things happened, because the Gods got big plans for you? I wish it were true, little Lord, but the Gods wouldn't spare a raven's cold shit for you, or me, or anyone.

You don't understand. You don't know.

Osha

You don't know! None of you know. None of you have been up there! I had a man, once; a good man. Bruni, his name was. I was his, and he was mine. But one night, Bruni disappears. People said he left me, but I knew him. He'd never leave me. Not for long. I knew he'd come back. And he did. He came in through the back of the hut. Only, he wasn't Bruni, not really. His skin was... pale, like a dead man's. His eyes, bluer than clear sky. He came at me, grabbed me by the neck, and squeezed so hard I could feel the life slipping out of me. I don't know how I got the knife, but when I did, I stuck it deep into his heart. And he hardly seemed to notice. I had to burn our hut down, with him inside. I didn't ask the Gods what it meant. I didn't need to. It meant the North was no place for men to be, not anymore. I promised your Maester I'd get you to Castle Black, and no further.
