A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Viserys: Many in my line have been dragon riders. Very few among us have been dreamers. What is the power of a dragon next to the power of prophecy?

Alicent: The hour is too late, husband.

Viserys: When Rhaenyra was a child, I saw it in a dream. As vivid as these flames, I saw it. A male babe born to me wearing the Conqueror's crown. And I so wanted it to be true, to be a dreamer myself. I sought that vision again, night after night, but it never came again. I poured all my thought and will into it. And my obsession killed Rhaenyra's mother.

Alicent: Viserys...

Viserys: I thought Rhaenyra was the way out of my abyss of grief and regret. And naming her heir would begin to set things right.

Alicent: Oh, it did.

Viserys: I never imagined I would remarry, that I would have a son. What if I was wrong?
