Come to say goodbye, Lady Stark? I believe it's my last night in this world. [looks at Brienne] Is that a woman?
Do you hear them out there? They want your head.
Well, old Lord Karstark doesn't seem to like me.
You strangled his son with your chains.
Oh. Oh, was he the one on guard duty? He was in my way. Any knight would have done the same.
You are no knight. You have forsaken every vow you ever took.
So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another. Where did you find this beast?
She is a truer knight than you will ever be, Kingslayer.
Kingslayer. And what a King he was! Here's to Aerys Targaryen, the second of his name, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, and to the sword I shoved in his back!
You are a man without honour.
Do you know I've never been with any woman but Cersei? So in my own way, I have more honour than poor old dead Ned. What was the name of the bastard he fathered?
Brienne.
No, that wasn't it. Snow, a bastard from the North. Now when–when good old Ned came home with some whore's baby, did you pretend to love it? No. You're not very good at pretending. You're an honest woman. You hated that boy, didn't you? How could you not hate him? The walking, talking reminder that the honourable Lord Eddard Stark fucked another woman.
[to Brienne] Your sword.
