Not a bad episode, but I have to wonder why the Arya vs. The Waif conflict had to culminate in a silly and over the top chase scene, in broad daylight, in a crowded market place, with dozens and dozens of witnesses. Not to do spoilers, but how would the waif have explained all this to her boss?
****
"A man wants to know what has happened." Walking slowly down the stairs within his shadowy temple, the gorgeous robed priest confronted the prim blonde with the haughty, sadistic-teen allure.
"I got her," mumbled the waif. "I got the spoiled little girl just the way you told me to. I stabbed her right in the street!"
"A man tells a girl to kill another girl. A man assumes that a girl is not an idiot. A man assumes that after years of training in sneaking up on people and wearing other people's faces, that a girl will do her business quickly and quietly, where no-one can see. A man does not expect a girl to run through the marketplace in broad daylight, waving her arms and knocking things over and acting like a crazy person."
"But I had to catch her," the waif whined. "She ran away instead of just falling over and dying after being stabbed twenty times."
"What does a girl expect? A girl is supposedly a trained assassin, yet she runs all around town like a track star, jumping over wagons and leaping across fruit baskets, scattering produce and generating potential lawsuits for our shadowy temple. A melon merchant wants payment. And a man is fed up with a girl's stupid mistakes."
"What does a man wish to do with a girl?" asked the waif.
"A girl has failed. Now a man wants to put on his favorite mask."
The waif was suddenly breathless. "You mean you're going to be the lustful Mad King? Or cruel teen degenerate King Geoffrey?"
"No. A man will be Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore."
