Quotes 

• Jaime Lannister : I was sixteen once. I also had to replace someone's squire on short notice.

  Alton Lannister : Which knight was it?

  Jaime Lannister : Barristan Selmy. The fight against the kingswood outlaws, before your time.

  Alton Lannister : What was he like?

  Jaime Lannister : He was a painter. A painter who only used red.I couldn't imagine being able to fight like that. Not back then. And to help him do it, to be a part of something that perfect. I don't need to explain how that felt, not to you.

  Alton Lannister : It's hard to put into words.

  Jaime Lannister : It's like stepping into a dream you've been dreaming for as long as you can remember and finding out that the dream is more real than your life.

• Jaime Lannister : I'm not well suited for imprisonment. Shocking, I know. Some men are. Ned Stark? I imagine he made an excellent prisoner right up until the end. But me, though... my life has left me uniquely unfit for constraint.

  Alton Lannister : And have you thought about...

  Jaime Lannister : Of course. Every day.

  Alton Lannister : And?

  Jaime Lannister : Good prisoners breed good jailers, apparently. The Starks are very careful. There is a way, I think. It wasn't possible until now.

  Alton Lannister : What is it?

  Jaime Lannister : It's actually quite simple.

  Alton Lannister : Well, let me help you.

  Jaime Lannister : You'll only have to do one thing.

  Alton Lannister : Tell me.

  [Jaime leans in close to whisper in Alton's ear] 

  Jaime Lannister : You'll have to die.

  [Alton stares at Jaime in confusion for a moment. Jaime suddenly attacks Alton and beats him to death] 

• [Jaime has been recaptured after his escape attempt] 

  Rickard Karstark : Stand back! I want his head!

  [the Stark guards draw their swords] 

  Rickard Karstark : Any man who stands between a father and his vengeance asks for death!

  Catelyn Stark : Lord Karstark! This man is our prisoner.

  Rickard Karstark : This monster killed my son.

  Catelyn Stark : And crippled mine! He will answer for his crimes, I promise you, but not here.

  Rickard Karstark : I will have his head, and if you try and stop me...

  Catelyn Stark : You will strike me down? Have you forgotten me, ser? I am the widow of you liege lord, Eddard Stark! I am the mother of your king!

  Rickard Karstark : And where is our king now?

  Catelyn Stark : You know very well! He has gone to the Crag to accept the surrender!

  Rickard Karstark : Aye, gone to the Crag. But not to negotiate. He brought that foreign bitch with him.

  Catelyn Stark : How dare you!

  [Brienne draws her sword] 

  Brienne of Tarth : Threatening my lady is an act of treason!

  Rickard Karstark : Treason! How can it be treason to kill Lannisters?

  Catelyn Stark : I understand your grief, my lord. Better than most, I understand it. But in the name of my son, the King in the North, stand down!

  Rickard Karstark : When your son returns, I will demand this murderer's head.

  Catelyn Stark : Wise men do not make demands of kings.

  Rickard Karstark : Fathers who love their sons do. I will have his head.

  [Rickard Karstark stalks away] 

  Jaime Lannister : Thank you for fighting on my behalf, Lady Stark. I would've come to your defense, but...

  [Jaime holds up his chained wrists] 

  Catelyn Stark : [to the guards]  Take him to the stockade. Bind him with every chain you can find!

  Jaime Lannister : You've become a real she-wolf in your later years. There's not much fish left in you.

  Catelyn Stark : And gag him!
