Tyrion, expert on drinking and sex: It’s not easy being drunk all the time. Everyone would do it if it were easy. You can’t fuck your way out of everything! I once bought a honeycomb and a jackass to a brothel. . . Shaggar: How would you like to die, Tyrion, son of Tywin? Tyrion: In my own bed, at the age of 80, with a belly full of wine and a girl’s mouth around my cock. And, of course— That’s what I do: I drink and I know things. ---

Sansa: I remember when you were born, my lady. You were named for my aunt Lyanna. It’s said she was a great beauty. I’m sure you will be too. Lyanna Mormont: I doubt it. My mother wasn’t a great beauty, or any other kind of beauty. She was a great warrior, though. She died fighting for your brother Robb. ---

Lysa Arryn (to Bronn, after he wins a trial by combat): _“You don’t fight with honour!”_ Bronn: _“No…”_ (pauses, gestures towards his dead opponent): _“He did.”_ Throwing in her face that more than once in the fight after hurting Vardis he paused, giving her the chance to call the fight and offer mercy, and she just made her champion die. And of course how silly it is to expect that in a duel to the death on behalf of someone else you will hew to some old format that’ll get \*you \*killed. ---
