Balon Greyjoy and Euron Greyjoy in “Unfinished Business”

[Balon starts to cross a rope bridge amid a rainstorm. He notices a hooded figure blocking his way.]

BGBalon Greyjoy

Let me pass. You fool, move aside for your king.

[The hooded figure removes his hood, revealing himself.]

Haven't I always, brother?

BGBalon Greyjoy

I thought you'd be rotting under some foreign sea by now.

What is dead may never die. Has the custom changed since I've been gone? Aren't you supposed to repeat the words?

BGBalon Greyjoy

You can mock our god without my help.

I don't mock the Drowned God. I am the Drowned God. From Oldtown to Qarth, when men see my sails, they pray.

[Balon continues to cross the bridge.]

You're old, brother. You've had your time. Now, let another rule.

BGBalon Greyjoy

I heard you lost your mind during a storm on the Jade Sea. They tied you to the mast to keep you from jumping overboard.

They did.

BGBalon Greyjoy

And when the storm passed, you cut out their tongues.

I needed silence.

BGBalon Greyjoy

What kind of an ironborn loses his senses during a storm?

I am the storm, brother. The first storm and the last. And you're in my way.
