A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Viserys: You have misjudged me, Rhaenyra.

Rhaenyra: All know it. Jason Lannister knows it. You said it yourself, the lords of the realm gather like vultures to a carcass, hoping to feast on my bones.

Viserys: It is true that as rulers we must marry for advantage to forge alliances and bolster our strength. You have always understood this. I myself was promised to your mother when I was...

Rhaenyra: Ten-and-seven years of age. The Vale had an army to rival the North. I've heard that story since I've had ears to.

Viserys: I loved her. She made a man of me. I do not seek to replace you, child. You've been much alone these last few years. Alone and angry. I will not live forever. I wish to see you contented, happy even.

Rhaenyra: You think a man will do it?

Viserys: A family.

Rhaenyra: I had a family.

Viserys: What would you have me do?!

Rhaenyra: If it was for advantage, you would've wed Laena Velaryon!

Viserys: That is true enough. You must marry, strengthen your own claim, shore up your succession, multiply. As to your match, make it yourself. Search him out. Find one that pleases you, as I did. Rhaenyra, I did waver at one time. But I swear to you now, on your mother's memory, you will not be supplanted.
