Tyrion Lannister, Jaime Lannister and others in “Unfinished Business”

[swigs some wine] Wine always helps. Thank you for it. Trial by combat. Deciding a man's guilt or innocence in the eyes of the Gods, by having two other men hack each other to pieces. Tells you something about the Gods. How much longer?

Do you thing Oberyn has a chance? [Jaime shrugs] The Red Viper of Dorne! You don't get a name like that unless you're deadly, right?

I've never seen him fight.

Oh, he's going to die! I'm going to die!

Oberyn believes in himself.

Oh, that's putting it mildly. What's the punishment for regicide? Drawing and quartering? Hanging? Breaking at the wheel?

[sighs] Beheading.

TLTyrion Lannsiter

Seems rather ordinary. And he was my nephew as well. So what's that? Fratricide is brothers, filicide is sons. Nepoticide! That's the one. Matricide, Patricide, infanticide, suicide. There's no kind of killing that doesn't have its own word.

[Guiltily] Cousins.

Cousins? You're right. There is no name for cousin-killing! Well done. Do you remember cousin Orson? Orson Lannister?

Of course. Wet-nurse dropped him on his head. Left him simple.

Simple? Used to sit all day in the garden. Crushing beetles with a rock.
