Best lines from the Game of Thrones TV series

Oh, my sweet summer child.

Every khal who ever lived chose three blood riders to fight beside him and guard his way. But I am not a khal. I will not choose three blood riders. I choose you all.

“It is easy to confuse what is with what ought to be, especially when what is has worked out in your favor.” Tyrion

A line so great I assumed it was from the book. I think it is show only and written by whoever wrote that episode.

Brienne: Ladies can’t be knights.

Giantsbane: Why not?

Brienne: Tradition.

Giantsbane: (shrugs) Fuck tradition.
This has pretty much always been my attitude toward any sort of historical inertia that gets in the way of progress. I enjoyed seeing it depicted so plainly.

“There is only one thing we say to death: Not today.”

Thoros of Myr: It’s not getting any easier, you know.

Beric Dondarrion: I know. Every time I come back . . . I’m a bit less. Pieces of you get chipped away.

It’s more expanded in the books, but works well enough in the show to get the point across. Especially with Richard Dormer saying them.

Stannis says something like “we don’t even have enough people to raid a pantry”

“You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful queen of the Andals and the First Men, protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.”

“This is Jon Snow; he’s King in the North.”

Podrick: It looks like a siege, my lady.

Brienne: You have a keen military mind, Pod.

“Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love – illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is”

"A Lannister always pays his debts.”

Tyrion to Jon:

“I know you love her. I love her, too. Not as…successfully as you.”

Polliver: You don’t seem to understand the situation.

Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane: I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I’m gonna have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.

Polliver: You lived your life for the king. You gonna die for some chickens?

Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane: Someone is.

The pure menace of the hound’s presence just carries that scene, he’s a man you don’t fuck with.

Bronn: Didn’t they teach you that at fancy lad school?

Dude is like the poet of the everyman

“Any man who must say, ‘I am the king,’ is no true king. I’ll make sure you understand that when I’ve won your war for you.”

Tormund Giantsbane: I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell. If I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes, the tallest woman you’ve ever seen. Almost as tall as you.

Sandor Clegane: Brienne of Tarth.

Tormund Giantsbane: You know her?

Sandor Clegane: You’re with Brienne of fucking Tarth?

Tormund Giantsbane: Well, not with her yet. But I see the way she looks at me.

Sandor Clegane: How does she look at you? Like she wants to carve you up and eat your liver?

Tormund Giantsbane: You do know her.

Gendry: You don’t have to be a knight to have armor. Any idiot can buy armor.

Hot Pie: How do you know?

Gendry: 'Cause I sold armor.

Ygritte: But I’m your woman now, Jon Snow. You’re going to be loyal to your woman. The Night’s Watch don’t care if you live or die. Mance Rayder don’t care if I live or die. We’re just soldiers in their armies, and there’s plenty more to carry on if we go down. But it’s you and me that matters to me and you

King: “You got fat!”

Ned Stark: <silently gives king a once-over> <raises eyebrows>

Not really a line, per se, but still one of the funnier moments.

Roose Bolton (to one-handed Jaime) “I would have hoped you’d learned your lesson about overplaying your… position.”
