SummerGhostofNymeria Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hard to pick the best Tyrion line. There are so many good ones. But I'm a big fan of the following exchange: Alliser Thorne: Come and make your japes with steel in your hand. Tyrion: Why, I have steel in my hand, but it appears to be a crab fork. Shall we duel? YES! Oh, I love his lines. He's got wit, that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forelver Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Lady Smallwood: "What do you like to do?"Arya: "Needlework." Lady S. "Very restful isn't it?"Arya: "Well, not the way I do it." Pod: "Ser Bronn? Oh. Should I get him? My Lord."Tyrion: "Why no, I woke you up so we could have a little chat about the way he dresses."

Also, your name made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxtar Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Minor spoilers here. Kind of."No? Ah, that's a pity. Well, up you go.""No," Merrett squealed loudly. "No don't, I gave you your answer, you said you'd let me go.""Seems to me that I said I'd tell them to let you go." The singer looked at yellow cloak. "Lem, let him go.""Go bugger your self." The outlaw replied brusquely.The singer gave Merrett a helpless shrug and began to play, "The Day They Hanged Black Robin."Lolololol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan of Rosby Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 "Hodor." —Hodor That's not his real name!!!! :) Mine has to be any of Tyrion's for sheer wit, but a close runner-up has to be Ygritte's for how endearing it is.

SummerGhostofNymeria Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 but a close runner-up has to be Ygritte's for how endearing it is. "You know nothing, Jon Snow!" NOOOOOO! I specifically told my friend (who has already read all the books a LONG time ago, and recently read them all again to read ADwD) that if I saw that line ONE MORE TIME in the books I would not read Jon Snow. ...of course it was a bluff, but still... Ygritte annoyed the living daylights out of me. (One of my least favorite characters in the entire series. Harsh, but true.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I do appreciate a decent strong female character every so often. When it comes to females I tend to prefer Arya's stuff... I might be one of the only ones...

I think in general Song of Ice and Fire is good for female characters. Some people say the series is sexist but that seems like a fallacy. As in, the series portrays violence against women and women being portrayed as second-class citizens so therefore the series must endorse violence against women. It's nonsense. I think this link does a better job of destroying this notion than anything else. http://www.leahraeder.com/words/opinion/is-george-r-r-martin-sexist/ Anyway, that's my derail done.

HaraktheHirsute Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Here's one of the many that made me laugh out loud: Jaimie Lannister: Where had you served, before my sister found you?Osmund Kettleblack: Here and there, my lord.Jaimie: I have been to Oldtown in the south and Winterfell in the north. I have been to Lannisport in the west and King's Landing in the east. But I have never been to Here. Nor There. I will ask you once more. Where have you served?

Alan of Rosby Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I can't remember if this was in the original Game of Thrones book, but I saw it in the series and I thought it encapsulated Bronn's character: "You do not fight with honour!" - Lady Arryn"No. He did" - Bronn, pointing to the Moon door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forelver Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 "Everything." Davos in answer to Stannis saying "...what is the life of one bastard boy against a kingdom?" When I read this I had to come back here and put this in-so refreshing to see this attitude after so much casual killing of children in the books. Davos is the voice of reason, a light in the dark, Lord Eddard revisited! I'm starting to understand why people like him so much-I wanted to stand up and cheer when I read this.

Chatayas Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 ---"You say Sansa killed him. Why protect her?" Because Joff was no more than a squirt of seed in Cersei's cunt. And he deserved to die.--- ---"Run let my guards in, then. Quick now, there's no time to lose. This singer's killed my lady wife."--- Oh how did I ever come to love the villains? GRRM, your to blame for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle_ Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 "fear cuts deeper than swords" I love how her "dancing lessons" have been what's kept her alive. Arya is by far my favorite, I have a ten year old tomboy at home, so i can sort of relate. I will have to agree with the majority and say Tyrion gets all the best lines.

Urien the Ragged Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 "What are you doing?" Merrett knew how stupid that sounded, but he could not believe what was happening, even then. "You'd never dare hang a Frey!" Yellow cloak laughed. "That other one, the pimply boy, he said the same thing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
