A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenys: The young men have taken the bit in their teeth. They wish to punish, to avenge. Soon, they will not even remember what it was that began the war in the first place.

Rhaenyra: That is easy enough. They usurped my throne.

Rhaenys: That is one answer. Or was it when the child was beheaded? Or when Aemond killed Luke? Or when Luke took Aemond's eye? We teeter now at the point where none of it will matter. And the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten. There may be another way. Alicent Hightower.

Rhaenyra: When last we met, Alicent said I would make a fine queen. You've seen what has happened since then.

Rhaenys: She came to me in the hours after your lord father's death. She knows war is coming and that it'll be savage beyond all compare. There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin. And no war so bloody as a war between dragons.
