TV show quotes
(after Geralt hands him Renfri's brooch) What is this?
For the Princess. If I can lift the curse.
You're giving me this because you do not expect to see morning.
This isn't my first time trying to save a princess who others see as a monster.
What happened to that princess?
I killed her.
I did try to resist, at first, with Adda. We both did. For all it brightens, love casts long shadows. I envy you. To live and never have to fall in love.
[The striga enters the chamber where Ostrit is bound.]
[whimpering] Please forgive me. It was Foltest. It was his fault. I loved your mother...
[Geralt lassoes the striga with a silver chain. It writhes in pain for a second, then breaks the chain and screeches.]
Fuck.
Perhaps our esteemed guest can entertain us with how he slayed the elves at the edge of the world?
[cheering]
There was no slaying. I had my arse kicked by a ragged band of elves. I was about to have my throat cut, when Filavandrel let me go.
But the song!
[through clenched teeth] Yeah, the song.
At least when Filavandrel's blade kissed my throat I didn't shit myself, which is all I can hope for you good lords. [raises his tankard] At your final breath, a shitless death. [takes a drink; sotto voce] But I doubt it.
(After saving Duny who insists that Geralt be rewarded) Fine. I claim the tradition as you have. The Law of Surprise. Give me what you have but do not know.
(horrified) No! What have you done witcher?
Fear not your majesty, if I'm seen in your kingdom again it will be to kill a real monster. Not lay claim to a new crop or a new pup. Destiny can go fu- (Interrupted by Pavetta vomiting) Fuck.
I'm going to stay. Guide her.
You're a good man, Mousesack.
You should stay too.
This has been enough partying for me. I'm getting out of here. Alone.
You're bound to this now Geralt, whether you like it or not.
I'm not for changing. You know me better than that.
Yes I do. But you can't outrun destiny just because you're terrified of it. It's coming Geralt. Not believing won't change that.
Bullshit, this was just a girl using her magic to stop her mother from gutting her lover. Nothing more.
So you say. But the bond that will be come into being between you and this child, when it is born, will be extraordinary. If you dismiss it, leave without claiming this child surprise, you will surely unleash true calamity upon us all.
I'll take that chance.
(Casting a net into a lake) I'm not fishing. I can't sleep.
Right. Good. Well, that makes sense, so much that it sort of doesn't. What's going on Geralt? Talk to me.
(Pauses briefly) A Djinn.
A what?
I'm looking for a Djinn.
For a Djinn? Like a Genie? The floaty fellows with the bad tempers and the banned magics that sort of Genie? (Laughing)
Yes, it'll grant me wishes. It's in this lake somewhere and I CAN'T FUCKING SLEEP!
Did you sing to her when she left you?
I did, actually, and she... why? What are you implying? (Geralt stares back) Oh, we are so having this conversation. Come on, Geralt. Tell me. Be honest. How's my singing?
It's like ordering a pie and finding it has no filling.
(visibly taken aback) You... need a nap!
I've never been shy a day in my life.
That's cheating.
Nobody smart plays fair.
Are you perhaps short of a marble?!
(looks in the window and sees Geralt and Yennefer making love) They're alive! (pause) They're really alive.
(To thieving villager) I believe those are mine. (Catches coin purse from villager who then flees)
Geralt, they- with the- This woman just killed a man with her bare hands for trying to steal your horse.
Maybe she'll make a better travel companion then.
Those Dwarves will be partnered on.
Bar man!
Geralt can handle them in his sleep.
Fucking right! (running up and jumping on the counter) HE SAID HE WANTS 4 FUCKING PINTS! Now!
Or, maybe a little bit awake.
