Rory McCann: Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane

The Children

Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane

Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: [to Arya] You remember where the heart is?
[pause]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Fuck it, I'm ready. Go on, girl. Another name off your list. You kept promising me.
[Arya stares at the Hound]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I cut down your butcher's boy. The ginger. He was begging for mercy. "Please, Ser. Please don't kill me. Please, please." Bled all over my horse. Saddle stunk of butcher's boy for weeks. Your sister... your pretty sister. I should have taken her. That night the Blackwater burned. I should have fucked her bloody. At least I'd have one happy memory.
[Arya still stares at the Hound]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Do I have to beg you? Do it... do it...
[the Hound is near tears]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Do it.
[Arya takes the Hound's money and walks away]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Kill me... Kill me!... Kill me!... KILL ME!

[Brienne and Pod encounter Arya and the Hound]
Brienne of Tarth: Seven blessings. I'm Brienne of Tarth. This is Podrick Payne.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You want something?
Podrick Payne: [quietly to Brienne] That's Sandor Clegane. The Hound.
[Brienne looks intently at Arya]
Brienne of Tarth: [to Arya] You're Arya Stark.
[the Hound grabs the hilt of his sword]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I asked if you wanted something.
Brienne of Tarth: I swore to your mother I would bring you home to her.
Arya Stark: My mother's dead.
Brienne of Tarth: [steps closer] I know. I wish I could have been there to protect her.
Arya Stark: You're not a northerner.
Brienne of Tarth: No, but I swore a sacred vow to protect her.
Arya Stark: Why didn't you?
Brienne of Tarth: She commanded me to bring Jaime Lannister back to King's Landing.

Arya Stark: [to Brienne] The Bloody Gate's ten miles.
Brienne of Tarth: I swore to your mother, by the Old Gods and the New...
Arya Stark: [interrupts] I don't care what you swore.
Brienne of Tarth: Arya...
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: [interrupts] You heard the girl! She's not coming with you.
Brienne of Tarth: She is.
[the Hound partly draws his sword, and Brienne does the same]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You're not a good listener.
[the Hound looks at Brienne's sword]
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Valyrian steel... I've always wanted some Valyrian steel.
Brienne of Tarth: [to Arya] Come with me, Arya. I'll take you to safety.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: [snaps] Safety? Where the FUCK'S that? Her aunt in the Eyrie's dead! Her mother's dead! Her father's dead! Her brother's dead! Winterfell is a pile of rubble! There's no "safety," you dumb bitch. You don't know that by now, you're the wrong one to watch over her.
Brienne of Tarth: And that what you're doing? Watching over her?
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Aye. That's what I'm doing.
[Brienne fully draws her sword, and the Hound does the same. They fight, while Arya and Pod are watching]
