Ramsay Bolton and Roose Bolton in “Unfinished Business”

How can you be sure?

Roose Bolton

Sure of what?

That she's pregnant. I mean...how can you tell?

Roose Bolton

Maester Wolkan has assured us beyond all doubt.

So...how did you manage it?

Roose Bolton

Manage what?

Getting her pregnant.

Roose Bolton

I imagine you're familiar with the procedure.

Of course but how did you...find it?

Roose Bolton

You disgraced yourself at dinner. Parading that creature before the Stark girl.

And if it's a boy?

Roose Bolton

You're worried about your position?

My position is quite clear. I'm your son. Until a better alternative comes along.

Roose Bolton

You've never asked me about your mother.

Why would I? She had me, she died. And here we are.

Roose Bolton

She was a peasant girl. Pretty in a common sort of way. She was a miller's wife. Apparently they had married without my knowledge or consent. So I had him hanged, and I took her beneath the tree where he was swaying. She fought me the whole time. She was lucky I didn't hang her too. A year later she came to my gates with a squalling baby in her arms. A baby she claimed was mine. I nearly had her whipped, and the child thrown in the river. But then I looked at you, and I saw then what I see now. You are my son.
