Melisandre
- [Melisandre enters]
- Melisandre: Lord Commander.
- Jon Snow: How can I help you?
- Melisandre: Come with us when we ride South. No one knows the castle as well as you do. It's hidden tunnels, it's weaknesses, it's people. Winterfell was your home once. Don't you want to chase the rats out of it?
- Jon Snow: Castle Black is my home now. The Night's Watch take no part in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms.
- Melisandre: There's only one war. Life against death. Come, let me show you what you're fighting for.
- Jon Snow: You're gonna show me some vision in the fire? Forgive me, my lady... but I don't trust in visions.
- Melisandre: No visions. No magic. Just life.
- [Melisandre bares her upper body, and Jon's touch roams over her]
- Melisandre: Do you feel my heart beating? There's power in you. You resist it, and that's your mistake. Embrace it!
- [Melisandre sits in Jon's lap]
- Melisandre: The Lord of Light made us male and female. Two parts of a greater whole. In our joining, there's power. Power to make life... power to make light... and power to cast shadows.
- Jon Snow: I don't think Stannis would like that very much.
- Melisandre: Then we shouldn't tell him.
- Jon Snow: I can't.
- Melisandre: Why?
- Jon Snow: I swore a vow. I loved another.
- Melisandre: The dead don't need lovers. Only the living.
- Jon Snow: I know. But I still love her.
- [Melisandre feigns that she is about to kiss Jon, stands up, goes to door, turns back]
- Melisandre: You know nothing, Jon Snow.
