First Lannister soldier, Oberyn Martell and others in “Unfinished Business”

FLFirst Lannister soldier

You lost, friend?

Forgive me for staring...I don't see many Lannisters where I'm from.

FLFirst Lannister soldier

I don't see many Dornishmen in the capital.

Come with me, lover.

SLSecond Lannister soldier

Gods, look at this one!

OOlyvar

Sirs, if you follow me I'll arrange for a private room-

SLSecond Lannister soldier

Why are you wasting a woman like this on a Dornishman? Bring him a shaved goat and a bottle of olive oil!

[Oberyn smiles and steps forward as Ellaria watches.]

Do you know why all the world hates a Lannister? You think your gold and your lions, and your gold lions make you better than everyone. May I tell you a secret? You're not a golden lion. You're just a pink little man who's far too slow on the draw.

[After a long beat, the second soldier makes a grab for his sword, but Oberyn instantly rams a dagger through his wrist, skewering his arm to the table, making the soldier scream in agony.]

Long sword is a bad option in close quarters. When I pull my blade, your friend starts bleeding, quite a lot, I'm afraid; so many veins in the wrist. [He twists the dagger slightly, causing the soldier to scream again] He'll live if you get him help, straight away. So...decisions.

Prince Oberyn! Forgive the intrusion, we heard there might be... [He breaks off as Oberyn wrenches his dagger free, causing the soldier to scream again] ...trouble.

[to Ellaria] Apologies, my love. [they kiss]
