Lord Snow (2011)

Gethin Anthony: Renly Baratheon

Quotes 

• Renly Baratheon : My brother instructs us to stage a tournament in honor of Lord Stark's appointment as Hand of the King.

  Petyr Baelish : Mm, how much?

  Eddard Stark : 40,000 Gold Dragons to the champion, 20,000 to the runner-up, 20,000 to the winning archer.

  Grand Maester Pycelle : Can the treasury bear such expense?

  Petyr Baelish : I'll have to borrow it. The Lannisters will accommodate, I expect. We already owe Lord Tywin three million gold. What's another 80,000?

  Eddard Stark : Are you telling me the crown is three million in debt?

  Petyr Baelish : I'm telling you the crown is six million in debt.

  Eddard Stark : How could you let this happen?

  Petyr Baelish : The Master of Coin finds the money. The king and the Hand spend it.

  Eddard Stark : I will not believe Jon Arryn allowed Robert to bankrupt the realm.

  Grand Maester Pycelle : Lord Arryn gave wise and prudent advice, but I fear His Grace doesn't always listen.

  Renly Baratheon : "Counting coppers," he calls it.

  Eddard Stark : I'll speak to him tomorrow. This tournament is an extravagance we cannot afford.

  Petyr Baelish : As you will. But still, we'd best make our plans.

  Eddard Stark : [more aggressively than intended]  There will be no plans until I speak to Robert.

  [Eddard calms down] 

  Eddard Stark : Forgive me, my lords. I'm... I had a long ride.

  Lord Varys : You are the King's Hand, Lord Stark. We serve at your pleasure.
