Jaime Lannister, Doran Martell and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Jaime is escorted into the palace of Sunspear by Areo Hotah; Doran, Myrcella, Ellaria and Trystane are already there, drinking Dornish wine]

Prince Doran.

DMDoran Martell

Forgive us, we started without you. Please sit.

Princess Myrcella.

MBMyrcella Baratheon

Uncle.

What a lovely dress.

MBMyrcella Baratheon

You don't like it?

You must be cold.

MBMyrcella Baratheon

Not at all. The Dornish climate agrees with me.

Prince Trystane. How's your jaw?

TMTrystane Martell

A flea-bite.

What are you doing in Dorne?

Looking after the safety of my niece, the Princess Myrcella.

DMDoran Martell

And rather than send a raven or speak to me directly, you decided to enter my country in secret and abduct our guest by force.

We received a threatening message. The Princess's necklace, in the jaws of a viper.

MBMyrcella Baratheon

That necklace was stolen from my room.

Ah, excellent. A last meal, before the beheading?

DMDoran Martell

Oh, I can't behead you. Many in Dorne want war but I've seen war. I've seen the bodies piled on the battlefields. I've seen the orphans starving in the cities. I don't want to lead my people into that Hell.

No, you want to break bread with the Lannisters.

DMDoran Martell

And that is precisely what we're doing. Let us drink to Tommen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms! King Tommen insists on his sister's return to the Capital.

I'm afraid he does.

DMDoran Martell

I cannot disobey my King's command. She will return with you, to King's Landing and my son, Prince Trystane, will accompany you both. If the alliance between Dorne and the Iron Throne is to continue, their engagement must stand.

I accept.

DMDoran Martell

One more thing. My brother was named to the Small Council before his... death. Your father understood the importance of keeping Dorne in the fold. With Oberyn gone, Trystane will take his place on the Small Council.

You have my word.

The word of a Kingslayer! [to Doran] No wonder you can't stand; you have no spine!

DMDoran Martell

You are mother of four of my nieces, girls I love very much. For their sake, I hope you live a long and happy life. Speak to me that way again, and you won't. [releases her, Ellaria storms off]
