Stannis Baratheon, Mance Rayder and others in “Unfinished Business”

[stopping in front of Mance and Jon, to Mance] You're the "King Beyond the Wall"? [Mance nods] Do you know who I am?

MRMance Rayder

Never had the pleasure.

This is Stannis Baratheon, the one true King of the Seven Kingdoms.

MRMance Rayder

We're not in the Seven Kingdoms, and you're not dressed for this weather.

[pause] It is customary to kneel when surrendering to a King. [long pause, then Mance smiles and shakes his head]

MRMance Rayder

We do not kneel.

I'll have thousands of your men in chains by nightfall. I have nothing to feed them and nowhere to put them. I'm not here to slaughter beaten dogs. their fate depends on their King.

MRMance Rayder

All the same, we do not kneel.

Take these men away.

[to Jon] What's a man of the Night's Watch doing in a Wildling camp?

I was sent to discuss terms with the King Beyond the Wall.

You're speaking to the one true King, boy. You will address him as "Your Grace".

I know he's the King. My father died for him. My name is Jon Snow, Your Grace. I'm Ned Stark's son.

Your father was an honorable man.

He was, Your Grace.

What do you think he'd have done with him?

I was this man's prisoner, once. He could've tortured me, he could've killed me... but instead he spared my life. I think my father would've taken him prisoner and listened to what he had to say.

Very well, then. [turns to Davos] Take him prisoner.

Your Grace? [Stannis turns back to him] If my father had seen the things that I've seen, he'd also tell you to burn the dead before nightfall - all of them.
