Quotes4

  • Olenna Tyrell: [referring to Widow's Wail] That was Joffery's sword, wasn't it? Not that he ever used it. What did he call it?
  • Jaime Lannister: Widow's Wail.
  • Olenna Tyrell: He really was a cunt, wasn't he?
  • Olenna Tyrell: I'd hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood-red, skin purple. Must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me, a shocking scene. Not at all what I intended. You see, I'd never seen the poison work before. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.
  • Olenna Tyrell: It's done?
  • Jaime Lannister: It is.
  • Olenna Tyrell: And now the rains weep o'er our halls.
  • [Jaime pours wine to two goblets]
  • Olenna Tyrell: Your brother and his new queen thought you would be defending Casterly Rock.
  • Jaime Lannister: The truth is Casterly Rock isn't worth much anymore. Well, it is to me, but my fond childhood memories won't keep Cersei on the throne.
  • Olenna Tyrell: So you just let them take it?
  • Jaime Lannister: For now. They won't be able to hold it. Euron Greyjoy's navy burned their ships, we emptied the larders before we left. Eventually, they'll be forced to abandon their position and march all the way across Westeros.
  • [Jaime places the two goblets on the table, in front of Olenna]
  • Olenna Tyrell: And you took your army, your real army, and went where they weren't.
  • [Jaime takes a chair and sits at the table]
  • Jaime Lannister: As Robb Stark did to me at Whispering Wood. There are always lessons in failures.
  • Olenna Tyrell: Yes. You must be very wise by now.
  • Jaime Lannister: My father always said I was a slow learner.
  • Olenna Tyrell: If he was so clever, why didn't he take Highgarden the moment your gold mines ran dry? I suppose I'll be able to ask him myself soon enough. No more learning from my mistakes, eh?
