Lagertha quotes from Vikings

Lagertha

If any harm befalls my children, I will tear the lungs out of your body, priest.

Lagertha

Our whole lives are just stories.

Lagertha

[At Ragnar's coffin] We don't always know what the gods have in store for us. But this? I could never imagine. If you've gone to heaven, then we will never meet again. [Going to her knees, whispering] And yet, I think Odin will rise like the wind to rescue you and take you to Valhalla where you belong, my own sweet Ragnar. And there... there we shall meet again. And fight and to drink and... love one another.

Lagertha

Don't sleep with lots of women in Kattegat.

Ragnar

I can do without it for a few days.

Lagertha

Is that another way of saying you love me?

Lagertha

Athelstan.

Ragnar

Athelstan, we want to ask you something.

Lagertha

Come and join us, priest.

Ragnar

Come on. Don't you want to? You'll enjoy it.

Athelstan

I am a monk. I have taken vows of celibacy. I cannot touch a woman. I never have.

Lagertha

Wouldn't you like to?

Athelstan

It would be a sin.

Lagertha

Who would know?

Athelstan

God would know.

Lagertha

What if he looked the other way?

Ragnar

Go to sleep then with your God.

Rollo

Up onto the overturned keel. Clamber, with a heart of steel. Cold is the ocean's spray... and your death is on its way. With maidens you have had your way...

[shouting] Each must die some day.

I heard they burned down your farm.

Lagertha

They also slaughtered all our livestock. We have nothing left.

Floki

You are alive. Ragnar is alive. Your children are alive. You have everything left.

The Seer

What is it you wish to ask the gods?

Lagertha

Will I ever bear another child, o wise one?

The Seer

I cannot see another child, no matter how far I look.

Lagertha

Then... what do you see?

The Seer

I see a harvest celebrated in blood. I see a trickster whose weapon cleaves you. I see a city made of marble. And a burning broiling ocean.

Lagertha

Not one of your prophecies do I understand.

The Seer

It is the way of the prophecy. Only to be understood when it has happened and it is too late to change it.

Lagertha

[to Ragnar, while kneeling over Bjorn who was gravely injured] What happened?

Ragnar

He was proving that you don't need the title to be a leader.
