The people who live there, they're not your enemies. They're innocents, like the ones you liberated in Meereen!
In Meereen, the slaves turned on the Masters and liberated the city themselves the moment I arrived.
They're afraid! Anyone who resists Cersei will see his family butchered! You can't expect them to be heroes. They're hostages.
They are. In a tyrant's grip. Whose fault is that? Mine?
What does it matter whose fault it is?! Thousands of children will die if the city burns!
Your sister knows how to use her enemies' weaknesses against them. That's what she thinks our mercy is. Weakness.
I beg you, my Queen.
But she's wrong. Mercy is our strength. Our mercy towards future generations, who will never again be held hostage by a tyrant. [to Grey Worm] Ready the Unsullied. Tonight you sail for King's Landing to join the Northern armies.
Cersei's followers will abandon her, if they know the war is lost. Give them that chance. If the city surrenders, they will ring the bells and raise the gates. Please, if you hear them ringing the bells, call off the attack.
[after a pause, Dany nods to Grey Worm]
Wait for me outside the city. You'll know when it's time.
[Grey Worm nods and leaves. After a pause, Tyrion bows and starts to leave]
Your brother was stopped, trying to get through our lines. [Tyrion turns around] It seems he hasn't abandoned your sister, after all. The next time you fail me... will be the last time you fail me.
