I want to believe that Tom was just really indulgent towards the Stark children. They thought they were fooling him, but he was just being nice...i.e. she responds "NO!!" and he decides well, I'll give her some time alone to sort herself out.

Well, yes - it's more funny to think that Arya's 8 years old and actually thinks Tom believed her.

Welcome to the boards OP! :)

One of my favorites:

Stannis ( about Craster and Gilly ) : " Her own father got this child on her? We are well rid of her then. I'll not suffer such abominations here. This is not King's Landing. "

God i laughed so hard on that one i actually had to put the book down. Another really awesome one was Jeor Mormont telling the story about Aerion Brightflame who drank a cup of wildfire and thought it would turn him into a dragon "...but the Gods were good and it turned him into a corpse."

Shagga son of Dolf had his monents:

"Shagga, cut of his manhood and feed it to the goats."

"There are no goats, halfman."

Later...

"Shave him closer, the throat again. ... Careful now, Shagga, you've cut him."

"Dolf fathered warriors, not barbers."

Anything with Shagga automatically becomes pretty fantastic

"we'll call it the war for Cersei's cunt"

and

someone said to Asha at the Kingsmoot, Balon let her think she was a man and she replied "your father made the same mistake with you"

or somethng like that. Wow dont get me started ha ha - everything so far is just classic.

I get the idea that Stannis isnt even half trying to be funny, he just cant help it.

"Your silver is ours. Your horses are ours. You have nothing to give us but your lives. How would you like to die, Tyrion son Tywin?"

"In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty", he replied.

"Bran knew that men slept on top of women when they shared a bed. Sleeping under Lord Manderly would be like sleeping under a fallen horse, he imagined. "

Pretty much anything Lady Olenna says in her first scene with Sansa is very funny actually but some of my favorites include:

"The Tyrells can trace their descent back to Garth Greenhand," was the best [sansa] could manage at short notice.

The Queen of Thorns snorted. "So can the Florents, the Rowans, the Oakhearts, and half the other noble houses of the south. Garth liked to plant his seed in fertile ground, they say. I shouldn’t wonder that more than his hands were green."

"I’ve never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they’re only men with the useful bits cut off. "

"Do you know my son, Sansa? Lord Puff Fish of Highgarden?"

"My husband, the late Lord Luthor. Oh, I loved him well enough, don’t mistake me. A kind man, and not unskilled in the bedchamber, but an appalling oaf all the same. He managed to ride off a cliff whilst hawking. "

"The cheese will be served when I want it served, and I want it served now."

Your list didn't include my favorites from that scene, especially her descriptions of Renly and Loras :)

Renly: " He knew how to dress and he knew how to smile and he knew how to bathe, and somehow he got the notion that this made him fit to be king. The Baratheons have always had some queer notions to be sure."

Loras: "Loras is young, and very good at knocking men off horses with a stick. That does not make him wise."

To me, this is the best scene in the audiobooks - with Roy Dotrice singing The Bear and the Maiden Fair in between the dialogue.

Strangely, Stannis smiled

and..

You are dead men, understand that," the king went on. "Only the manner of your dying remains to be determined. You would be well advised not to waste my time with denials. Confess, and you shall have the same swift end that the Young Wolf gave Lord Rickard. Lie, and you will burn. Choose.

well, everything Stannis says is fun
