A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Daemon: There's something wrong with me. Someone poisoned me. The food, the wine. Or else it's this swamp air, or...

Alys: The ghost of Harren the Black moaning his curses from Kingspyre Tower?

Daemon: Drivel! All of it! The ghosts, the curses, the blasted weirwood bed! I'm done with it!

Alys: Ah, yes. It is your way, is it not? When something does not please you, you run. Dragonstone, the Stepstones, Pentos, Harrenhal.

Daemon: I awake and I do not know where I've been.

Alys: There are older things in this world than you or I, or living memory. You are not the player, but a piece on the board. As am I, for that matter.

Daemon: I am not like you.

Alys: In some ways, no. You struggle to see there's an anger that blinds you.

Daemon: She never even wanted it. The crown. She spared no thought to it.

Alys: Well, that's perhaps why your brother gave the crown to her. Perhaps those who strive for it are the least suited to wear it.

Daemon: Don't lecture me!

Alys: Viserys never wanted it himself, if you recall. It came to him, and he did his best. It’s not a prize to be won, but a burden to bear.
