Quotes 

• Daenerys Targaryen : Tyrion Lannister, I name you Hand of the Queen.

• Tyrion Lannister : You have your armies, you have your ships, you have your dragons. Everything you've ever wanted since you were old enough to want anything, it's all yours for the taking. Are you afraid?

  [Daenerys nods] 

  Tyrion Lannister : Good. You're in the great game now. And the great game's terrifying. The only people who aren't afraid of failure are madmen like your father.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Do you know what frightens me? I said farewell to a man who loves me. A man I thought I cared for. And I felt nothing. Just impatient to get on with it.

  Tyrion Lannister : He wasn't the first to love you and he won't be the last.

  Daenerys Targaryen : Well, you have completely failed to console me.

  Tyrion Lannister : For what it's worth, I've been a cynic for as long as I can remember. Everyone's always asking me to believe in things. Family, gods, kings, myself. It was often tempting until I saw where belief got people. so I said, "no, thank you," to belief. And yet, here I am. I believe in you. It's embarrassing, really. I'd swear you my sword, but I don't actually own a sword.

  Daenerys Targaryen : It's your counsel I need.

  Tyrion Lannister : It's yours. Now and always.

• Daenerys Targaryen : If I'm going to rule in Westeros, I'll need to make alliances. The best way to make alliances is with marriage.

  Daario Naharis : Who are you marrying this time?

  Daenerys Targaryen : I don't know. Maybe no one.

  Daario Naharis : But you need to lure all the noble houses to the table? Are you a queen or fish bait?

  Daenerys Targaryen : I can't bring a lover to Westeros.

  Daario Naharis : A king wouldn't think twice about it.

  Daenerys Targaryen : So that's what you want? To be my mistress?

  Daario Naharis : I'm not proud. I don't care what perfumed aristocrat sits beside you in the throne room. I don't want a crown. I want you. I love you. And I make you happy. You know I do. Bring me with you. Let me fight for you.

  Daenerys Targaryen : I can't.

  Daario Naharis : The dwarf told you to do this?

  Daenerys Targaryen : No one tells me to do anything.

  Daario Naharis : Clever fellow. Can't argue with his logic. I'm no use to you over there.

• Daenerys Targaryen : Our fathers were evil men. They left the world worse than they found it. We're not going to do that, we're going to leave the world better than we found it.
