Quotes 

• [Robb receives news that Theon has betrayed him and seized Winterfell] 

  Robb Stark : This cannot be true.

  Roose Bolton : We've had ravens from White Harbour, Barrowtown and the Dreadfort. I'm afraid it is true.

  Robb Stark : Why? Why would Theon...?

  Roose Bolton : Because the Greyjoys are treasonous whores.

  Robb Stark : My brothers...

  Roose Bolton : We've heard nothing of them... but Rodrik Cassel is dead.

  Catelyn Stark : [angrily]  I told you never trust a Greyjoy!

  Robb Stark : I must go north at once.

  [Robb stands and starts to walk out of the tent. Roose Bolton approaches him] 

  Roose Bolton : There's still a war to win, Your Grace!

  Robb Stark : [angrily]  How can I call myself 'King' if I can't hold my own castle? How can I ask men to follow me if...?

  Roose Bolton : [firmly]  You are a king! And that means you don't have to do everything yourself.

  Catelyn Stark : Let me go and talk to Theon.

  Robb Stark : There will be no talk. He will die for this!

  Roose Bolton : Theon holds the castle with a skeleton crew. Let me send word to my bastard at the Dreadfort; he can raise a few hundred men and retake Winterfell before the new moon. We have the Lannisters on the run; if you march all the way back north now, you'll lose what you gained. My boy would be honoured to bring you Prince Theon's head.

  Robb Stark : Tell your son Bran and Rickon's safety is paramount. And Theon... I want him brought to me alive. I want to look him in the eye and ask him 'Why?'... and then I will take his head myself!
