Daenerys Targaryen
- Daario Naharis: You're the Queen. Everyone's too afraid to speak the truth. Everyone but me. You've made thousands of enemies all across the world. As soon as they see weakness, they'll attack. Show your strength... here, now.
- Daenerys Targaryen: That's why I have the Unsullied patrol the streets.
- Daario Naharis: [derisive scoff] Anyone with a chest full of gold can buy an army of Unsullied. You're not the Mother of Unsullied. You're the Mother of Dragons.
- [Daario looks down, shakes her head]
- Daario Naharis: I don't want another child's bones dropped at my feet. No one's seen Drogon in weeks. For all I know he's flown halfway across the world.
- [Daenerys sadly shakes her head]
- Daenerys Targaryen: I can't control them anymore.
- Daario Naharis: A Dragon Queen with no dragons... is not a Queen.
- [Daenerys distances herself from politics]
- Hizdahr zo Loraq: Forgive me. You're right, of course. Still... it's easier to rule happy subjects than angry ones.
- Daenerys Targaryen: I don't expect the Wise Masters of Yunkai to be happy. Slavery made them rich. I ended slavery.
- Hizdahr zo Loraq: They do not ask for the return of slavery. They ask for the reopening of the fighting pits.
- Daenerys Targaryen: The fighting pits? Where slaves fought slaves to the death?
- Hizdahr zo Loraq: In the new world that you've brought to us, free men would fight free men. The pit fighters you liberated plead for this opportunity. Bring some here and ask them yourself.
- Daenerys Targaryen: [adamant] No fighting pits.
- Hizdahr zo Loraq: Opening them would show the people of Yunkai and Meereen that you respect their traditions.
- Daenerys Targaryen: I do not respect the tradition of human cockfighting.
- Hizdahr zo Loraq: If you could...
- Daenerys Targaryen: [angrily] How many times must I say no before you understand?
