Quotes

There's great honor in serving the Night's Watch. The Starks have manned the Wall for thousands of years, and you are a Stark. You may not have my name, but you have my blood.

Winter is coming.

Eddard Stark: Look at me. You're a Stark of Winterfell. You know our words.
Arya Stark: Winter is coming.

Cersei Lannister: You're just a soldier, aren't you? You take your orders and you carry on. I suppose it makes sense. Your older brother was trained to lead, and you were trained to follow.
Eddard Stark: I was also trained to kill my enemies, Your Grace.
Cersei Lannister: As was I.

Cersei Lannister: You're just a soldier, aren't you? You take your orders and you carry on. I suppose it makes sense. Your older brother was trained to lead, and you were trained to follow.
Eddard Stark: I was also trained to kill my enemies, Your Grace.
Cersei Lannister: As was I.

Barristan Selmy: Life is strange. Not so many years ago, we fought as enemies at the Trident.
Eddard Stark: I'm glad we never met on the field, Ser Barristan. As is my wife. I don't think the widow's life would suit her.
Barristan Selmy: You're too modest. I've seen you cut down a dozen great knights.
Eddard Stark: My father once told me you were the best he'd ever seen. Never knew the man to be wrong about matters of combat.
Barristan Selmy: He was a fine man, your father. What the Mad King did to him was a terrible crime.

Robert Baratheon: I thought being king meant I could do whatever I wanted. Enough of this. Let's go watch 'em ride. At least I can smell someone else's blood.
Eddard Stark: Robert...
Robert Baratheon: What?
Robert Baratheon: Oh.
Robert Baratheon: An inspiring sight for the people, eh? Come, bow before your king! Bow, you shits!

Robert Baratheon: We'll talk later, when I return from the hunt.
Eddard 'Ned' Stark: The hunt?
Robert Baratheon: Killing things clears my head. You'll have to sit on the throne while I'm away.
Robert Baratheon: You'll hate it more than I do.
Eddard 'Ned' Stark: The Targaryen girl...
Robert Baratheon: Seven Hells, don't start with her again! The girl will die and I'll hear no more of it. Put on the badge. And if you ever take it off again, I swear to the mother I'll pin the damned thing on Jaime Lannister!

I will not dishonor Robert's last hours by shedding blood in his halls and dragging frightened children from their beds.

Lord Varys: Lord Stark. You must be thirsty.
Eddard Stark: Varys.
Lord Varys: I promise you, it isn't poison.
Lord Varys: Why is it no one ever trusts the eunuch?
Lord Varys: Not so much, my lord. I would save the rest if I were you. Hide it. Men have been known to die of thirst in these cells.
Eddard Stark: What about my daughters?
Lord Varys: The younger one seems to have escaped the castle. Even my little birds cannot find her.
Eddard Stark: And Sansa?
Lord Varys: Still engaged to Joffrey. Cersei will keep her close. The rest of your household are... all dead, it grieves me to say. I do so hate the sight of blood.
Eddard Stark: You watched my men being slaughtered and did nothing.
Lord Varys: And would again, my lord. I was unarmed, unarmored, and surrounded by Lannister swords. When you look at me, do you see a hero?
Lord Varys: What madness led you to tell the queen you'd learned the truth about Joffrey's birth?
Eddard Stark: The madness of mercy. That she might save her children.
Lord Varys: Ah, the children. It's always the innocents who suffer. It wasn't the wine that killed Robert, nor the boar. The wine slowed him down and the boar ripped him open, but it was your mercy that killed the king.
Lord Varys: I trust you know you're a dead man, Lord Eddard.
Eddard Stark: The queen can't kill me. Cat holds her brother.
Lord Varys: The wrong brother, sadly, and lost to her. Your wife has let the Imp slip through her fingers.
Eddard Stark: If that's true... then slit my throat and be done with it.
Lord Varys: Not today, my lord.
Eddard Stark: Tell me something, Varys. Who do you truly serve?
Lord Varys: The realm, my lord. Someone must.
