A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Viserys: I must admit my confusion. I do not understand why petitions are being heard over a settled succession. The only one present who might offer keener insight into Lord Corlys' wishes is the Princess Rhaenys.

Rhaenys: Indeed, Your Grace. It was ever my husband's wish that Driftmark pass through Ser Laenor to his trueborn son, Lucerys Velaryon. His mind never changed, nor did my support of him. As a matter of fact, the Princess Rhaenyra has just informed me of her desire to marry her sons, Jace and Luke, to Lord Corlys' granddaughters, Baela and Rhaena. A proposal to which I heartily agree.

Viserys: Well, the matter is settled. Again. I hereby reaffirm Prince Lucerys of House Velaryon as heir to Driftmark, the Driftwood Throne, and the next Lord of the Tides.

Vaemond: You break law, and centuries of tradition, to install your daughter as heir. Yet you dare tell me who deserves to inherit the name Velaryon?! No. I will not allow it.

Viserys: "Allow it"? Do not forget yourself, Vaemond.

Vaemond: [points at Lucerys] That is no true Velaryon! And certainly, no nephew of mine.

Rhaenyra: [to her sons] Go to your chambers. [to Vaemond] You have said enough.

Viserys: Lucerys is my trueborn grandson. And you are no more than the second son of Driftmark.

Vaemond: You may run your House as you see fit. But you will not decide the future of mine! My House survived the Doom, and a thousand tribulations besides! [looking at Lucerys hatefully] And gods be damned, I will not see it ended on the account of this... [pauses]

Daemon: Say it.

Ser Vaemond Targaryen: [glaring at Rhaenyra] Her children are bastards! [to Viserys] And she is a whore.

Viserys: [forces himself to his feet and draws his dagger] I will have your tongue for that!

[Daemon suddenly swings Dark Sister from behind, beheading Vaemond above the jawline]

Daemon: He can keep his tongue.
