House of the Dragon - Season 1 Edit

A conqueror's name...

A crabfeeder for a sea snake.

A dashing knight, and a dragon rider.

A decision I most bitterly regret.

A discomforting truth from time to time, Your Grace.

A dragon's saddle is one thing,

A fair play for a man of his position.

A feat I'm not sure Ser Otto could've accomplished alone.

A fine idea, Your Grace.

A fine knight, Princess.

A girl has been named heir to the Iron Throne,

A girl so young and so slight...

A girl, his heir.

A good and honorable lady of the Vale.

A good and kind queen will give comfort to your subjects.

A half measure, Your Grace.

A king or queen,

A lapse of morals

A loyal Hand must tell his king

A man called Craghas Drahar

A marriage for love,

A marriage is a duty... Yes.

A match with their daughter would go a long way towards

A moment.

A navy large enough to span the seas of the world.

A not so common whore then.

A rare bloom.

A regret of mine.

A seat at the King's table does not make you his equal.

A second son who stands to inherit nothing

A Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne.

A tea, Princess.

A technique is taught at the Citadel,

A very kind gesture, Alicent.

A very strong match, Your Grace.

Abandoned me for some whore.

About my ships and my men.

According to some texts.

Accusing my daughter of something.

Across the Narrow Sea on 10,000 ships

Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire."

Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men.

Aegon the Conqueror given the chance.

Aegon the Conqueror united the Seven Kingdoms

Aemma... I'm here.

After my niece's wedding, I plan to fly to the Eyrie

After this miserable pregnancy...

Against reavers from the Iron Islands.

Against the cold and the dark.

Ah, yes, apologies. I couldn't recall.

Ah!

Ah... Rhaenyra.

Ahh, yes. Terrible thing.

Aided the Dragon in his war of conquest...

Aiding the Prince in his treason?

Alicent: Did you read it?

Alicent: If you answer with "Lord Something,"

Alicent: Please look after the Hand, Ser Criston.

Alicent: Rhaenyra!

Alicent: What was his name?

Alicent: When Princess Nymeria arrived in Dorne,

All anyone sees when they look at me now is "The Queen."

All attempts to turn the babe have failed.

All focused on the babe.

All have passed fair trials.

All I wanted was for someone to say that they were sorry

All of Westeros must stand against it.

All of you...

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

Among the natives.

An honest mistake, perhaps,

An oath of chastity. I've broken it.

And a blind incursion in the Stepstones

And a cock.

And a, uh... good wife to my brother.

And after tonight's small affair...

And all councils past, has been self interested.

And all the dragons roared as one.

And already they tried to marry my father off

And are presently ridding the Step stones

And be done with all this bother.

And before that...

And beg for Laenor's hand.

And beyond.

And burn out this Crabfeeder.

And burned her own fleet off Sun spear

And by marrying again, I may begin to ensure

And called me heir to the throne.

And chances are better than not that one of those will be male.

And demonstrate my reign's strongest days are ahead,

And fiercest ally, House Velaryon.

And fortify it with an army of his gold cloaks.

And free...

And half its dragons.

And has now stolen a dangerous weapon...

And having me tortured...

And he has hastened to the Hall of Nine

And he will have his place at my court.

And he will stop at nothing to see it done.

And heir to the Iron Throne.

And her younger cousin, Prince Viserys Targaryen,

And his lady wife, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

And his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And his will be the Song of Ice and Fire."

And hopefully stop the advance of the rot.

And House Velaryon united,

And I am your King.

And I asked to go home.

And I believe her.

And I believe it, I know she did,

And I believed her.

And I heard the sound of thundering hooves,

And I know that others here agree.

And I placed our son upon the Iron Throne...

And I wanted to assure you how much I value the bond

And I will not have Driftmark beggared while our King

And I will take their eyes.

And I would remedy that...

And I, sadly, was no great warrior.

And I'm sorry if I have failed you in that. I am.

And I've always wished to see where they went.

And if Rhaenyra succeeds him,

And if the world of men is to survive,

And in turn, he's granted me the same.

And it's the only thing I have to my fucking name!

And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria,

And leave Dragonstone by order of His Grace,

And lords vassal of the Seven Kingdoms...

And made to squeeze out heirs.

And Master of Casterly Rock.

And my daughter and heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And my heir will soon put all of this damnable

And nights safe under my protection.

And no one in your court would blink an eye.

And now a child.

And now it comes.

And now you know hers.

And now, a foreign power has established a colony

And other friends of his.

And our line is vulnerable, too easily ended.

And petition Lady Jeyne myself.

And protect it.

And Protector of the Realm,

And provide an assessment of his progress

And provide the plans.

And put them on a path...

And replace me as heir.

And retrieved the egg without bloodshed.

And saw a rich land ripe for the capture.

And Ser Laenor Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark.

And Ser Laenor will make a fine husband.

And several of the servants have now admitted to seeing her,

And shall defend them against all enemies

And shall defend them against all enemies

And she already has a male heir.

And she has Targaryen blood.

And she is the eldest daughter

And so have I.

And so, your first duty is to the realm.

And strengthen his line.

And swore obeisance to her.

And takes it under advisement.

And tell me, Lord Dondarrion,

And that council of leeches knows it.

And that his thoughts and energies are occupied?

And that I was with child.

And that she will enjoy your company, as I have, Your Grace.

And the Age of Dragons.

And the blood of the dragon runs thick.

And the castle is surrounded by a deep, dry moat.

And the day grows ugly.

And the dragonlords, the highest of the nobility,

And the First Men,

And the need for strength and unity across the realm.

And the realm.

And the Sea Snake holds claim to nearly half the realm's ships.

And the Velaryon fleet bound in blood,

And the whole realm will celebrate.

And their secrets,

And their son and heir, Ser Laenor Velaryon,

And then Daemon sank into his cups and, uh...

And they denied it.

And this great day

And this one, as yet, has never led me astray.

And this was the Anogrion.

And though my seat may be lesser in size,

And to be compelled to...

And to secure her claim,

And uniting the two great Valyrian houses

And Voice of Old town,

And we expect them to act with honor and grace.

And we feel that our forecast

And we will return the House of the Dragon to its proper glory.

And wed her in the tradition of our house.

And wed Ser Laenor.

And what do you propose?

And what of you, men of the City Watch?

And what will you do about the vulture

And whatever dwells within

And when it's done...

And when that boy comes of age and your father has passed,

And whose bum it might bear.

And yet it is a dark day for the realm.

And yet not once have you asked me to be your Hand!

And yet, you made it possible.

And you acted without The Crown's leave.

And you are to do so without quarrel

And you will be her king consort.

And you will do so without protest.

And your desires.

And your father is no fool.

And?

And... now the day comes.

Another lord might assure me that I would rise like

Any further performances like last night's

Anyone fool enough to challenge Rhaenyra's claim

Anywhere but by your side.

Apologies for the late hour, my Lord.

Are certainly on their way to King's Landing already. To turn them back now...

Are important allies of The Crown.

Are mere estimations, my King,

Are presently fixed on the Red Keep.

Are right now descending upon King's Landing

Are unscalable vassalstone.

Are you asking for leave?

Are you confessing some guilt, Ser Gerold?

Are you mad?

Are you so desperate for the King's attention

Are you so sick with ambition

Are you?!

As a clement Queen,

As a contender for my hand.

As a, as a knight of, of your Kings guard.

As commander of the Watch.

As did I.

As he was my escort, I had no real choice.

As her husband, whatever she was due now passes to me.

As I already did you and be done with it.

As I know you love her.

As I know... the Princess is to you.

As I said, you were the favorite.

As is yours who took his place.

As King, it is my obligation to avoid war

As King, you have a claim on all things.

As lawless and terrifying.

As long as I can recall, it's all he's wanted.

As long as you are gone from my sight for good.

As Master of Coin, you said he was a spendthrift

As next in line for the throne.

As the bells of the Grand Sept tolled

As we join together in celebration.

As you carry their cups?

As you wish, brother.

As your Hand, I must maintain trusted sources of information.

Assemble a detachment, Otto.

At her instigation, it is true, but that should...

At its height or at its fall.

At least the Princess has a plan.

At such time when their firstborn ascends the Iron Throne,

At the direction of the King, as I understand it.

At the end of it all, a royal wedding...

At the end of it all...

At the moment, The Crown is perceived as being vulnerable.

At the peak of his abilities.

At the Small Council today, Your Grace.

At this dark hour,

Awaiting your best chance to destroy her reputation?

Away from all of this.

Aye, the Black woods truly turned the tide on that one.

Aye...

Bad humors of the mind

Baelon the Brave,

Baelon.

Balerion was the last living creature to have seen Old Valyria before the Doom.

Banish your whore...

Be made Prince of Dragons tone.

Be welcome,

Be welcome, Ser Criston.

Be welcome.

Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel,

Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel,

Because I thought you might try.

Because if those are kept safe...

Because that is the order of things.

Because the realm would not have it so.

Because women would never be ready for the battle in time.

Before Aegon's death, the last of the Valyrian pyromancers

Before I can attempt to discredit it.

Before spring's end.

Before the council convenes.

Before the games are over, my son will be born,

Before the Princess Rhaenys and I could accept this most...

Begging your pardon, Your Grace, I may be mistaken.

Beginning in a homeland I can no longer recall.

Beginning tonight, King's Landing will learn

Being King.

Beric Dondarrion: ...the wall Blackhaven

Better her first experience be with me than some whore.

Bettered the City Watch to your exacting standards.

Between my brother and my daughter.

Between my daughter,

Between our houses.

Beyond capturing poachers.

Beyond the walls of the Keep...

Birth is unpleasant enough as it is.

Bit too large for the Dragonpit.

Boo!

Boremund Baratheon: The Black woods are an ancient house

Born wearing a crown?

Both of the Baratheon lads,

Both owe you a debt that can never be repaid.

Bracken!

Brings you back unspoiled,

But Alicent...

But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest.

But Daemon wished to continue.

But do you think I would choose infamy

But dream and pray as they all might,

But Driftmark makes for a better ally

But he was ill for some time.

But he'll not live to be an old man.

But he's denied me.

But houses such as Crakehall and Mallister

But how can that be accomplished

But I am glad you are home.

But I believe that you were.

But I can no longer trust your judgment.

But I cannot.

But I consider the matter urgent.

But I do not envy you.

But I know that there is only one true king, Your Grace.

But I know...

But I promise, you will not be disappointed.

But I understand the order of things.

But I've mourned all the dead children I can.

But if the gods should visit

But if...

But in questioning them,

But instead of being by my side, or Rhaenyra's,

But it is mine to hold the realm together,

But it may not be enough.

But many of the smallfolk are like to believe

But much of King's Landing is seen by the smallfolk

But my, um...

But no one can doubt his ambition.

But only two were truly considered:

But other than that, and the fact that he's just unhorsed

But over the past few days, it seems we have traded

But that doesn't stop us from doing what we want.

But the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm.

But the men of the realm already had their opportunity

But then to him, a babe is born.

But there is a part of me wishes I'd been tested.

But they bent the knee to me

But they say that because of our dragons.

But tragedy had claimed both his sons,

But unlike the Targaryens,

But Vhagar still lives...

But we are both deeply invested in this union.

But we have all been

But what would they do with the common whore

But would she make a powerful queen,

But you are my only heir

But you must first do yours as king.

But you must hear it.

But you must never await its coming.

But you must understand,

But you said he was a tyrant.

But you stood tall.

But you, you did not choose him.

But your heart is even blacker than I thought.

But, I I, I did, however, wonder if...

By all rights,

By all rights,

By order of your King.

By precedent and by law.

By reducing you.

By the news...

By the Silent Sisters.

Came to a close,

Can adversely affect the body.

Can be another Valyria, Your Grace?

Can I presume that,

Captain Barret: Thief!

Captain Randyll Barret: Commander on the floor!

Care for some company?

Carry on. You were saying something about my impunity.

Cast you aside in favor of a little girl.

Cauterization would be a wise

Celebrate the birth of our future king.

Certainly, he cannot still be wroth?

City Watchman: Get up!

Closest to the source of their magic and power.

Come, cousin.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Congratulations are in order.

Congratulations on your victory.

Congratulations, stepdaughter.

Congratulations, Your Grace.

Corlys Velaryon: I congratulate you, Lord Lyonel.

Corlys Velaryon: Your Grace.

Corlys: A most surprising end.

Corlys: I have been petitioning the King to send my navy

Corlys: The Crabfeeder is backed by powerful entities

Corlys: To elude a storm,

Corlys: You flatter me, Your Grace.

Could only take me so far in this life.

Coupling.

Course of treatment, Your Grace.

Coursed with the blood of the First Men,

Cousin!

Craven!

Creeping through the gates from King's Landing,

Crime of every breed has been allowed to thrive.

Crone...

D...

Daemon and Rhaenyra share the blood of the dragon.

Daemon and Rhaenyra were seen together...

Daemon has ambition, yes,

Daemon has squatted there for over half a year

Daemon is my brother.

Daemon is without limit.

Daemon is your heir.

Daemon never touched me.

Daemon Targaryen.

Daemon would be a second Maegor, or worse.

Daemon, he would venture off, abroad,

Daemon: Am I your prisoner?

Daemon: I need to understand the charge

Daemon: It's where people come to take what they want.

Daemon: Mysar...

Daemon: Oh, what does it matter, brother?

Daemon: Some Myrish Prince

Daemon: Wait, I'll find him.

Daemon?

Dare I say it is a matter of taste?

Dead of a burst belly.

Dear me.

Despite spending most of my days amidst the grandeur of the Red Keep,

Did she not?

Did sleep flee you as well this morning?

Did you call me to Driftmark

Did you say it?

Did you think my great grandmother as beautiful as they say?

Died the last memory of Valyria of Old.

Disagreeable.

Disband your army,

Discomforting news.

Disguised as a page

Do any of these knights have combat experience?

Do hereby name...

Do they seem... familiar?

Do you also call yourself "King"?

Do you believe that Westeros

Do you have a specific course of action to propose,

Do you know what color it glows

Do you know what it is?

Do you know where Vhagar is now?

Do you remind your father's men of that

Do you speak of how you rejected every suitor

Do you think Daemon is distracted by his present tasks?

Do you want them mugged, ****d, murdered?

Do you wish to have your blood on the Iron Throne so badly

Do you wish to know your death, child?

Does it bother you?

Does my father know he's here?

Does not have to be the end.

Does the Small Council have a particular lady in mind?

Don't be scared. They're going to bring the babe out.

Don't look, Princess.

Dornish marches, Princess.

Dragon keeper Elder: (speaking High Valyrian) Dohaeras.

Dragons will rule the Seven Kingdoms

Dragonstone is quite secure.

Dragonstone?

Due to his inventive methods of punishing his enemies.

During a difficult birth,

During the hour of the owl.

Each of us dines as we see fit.

Either you prepare Aegon to rule,

Eldest son of the Hand of the King.

Ended well before their term.

Enforce my laws, but understand...

Enjoyed that, did you?

Even if I'm not.

Even if it ends in the death

Even old bronze cunts like you.

Even Targaryens.

Even those you don't want.

Ever since my name was read by the archmaesters at the Great Council,

Every lord and lady that calls for an audience with me,

Every man on my small council,

Every time that golden beast

Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men,

Familiarity is not at issue.

Father...

Fear.

Fine.

Five days later my... my father lay dead.

Five days.

Five dragons on Daemon.

Five hundred.

For a lie?

For centuries, my house had to scratch out an existence from the sea

For custom or tradition, rules.

For he knew the cold truth.

For her, her husband, and for their heirs.

For my brother's tourney.

For one night, I wish to be free

For the King to name a successor.

For the next hundred years,

For the stability of the realm.

For the woman as it is the man.

For what happened to me.

For your ship and crew, and make an offering

Four coppers, street rat.

Four ships have now been lost.

Fourteen succession claims were heard

Free of conditions, are they now?

Free to go where we like, to love as we like.

From across the Blackwater.

From fucking who we want.

From the burdens and indignities of your inheritance.

From the King.

From what?

Fucking is a pleasure, you see.

Generous proposal.

Gently in his sleep.

Gerold: In the Vale,

Give me Rhaenyra to take to wife

Give me your hand.

Go back to the Vale, Daemon,

Go on.

Gods be good.

Gods be good.

Gods spare me...

Gods. He's Dornish.

Good fortune to you, cousin.

Good fortune to you.

Good luck, my Prince.

Good morrow, my lords.

Good. Children can be such irritating creatures.

Grand Maester Mellos: Prepare the crucible.

Grand Maester Mellos: We have no way of predicting

Grand Maester Mellos: Yes, Your Grace.

Green.

Gusting out of the distant north.

Had two stillbirths, and two pregnancies

Had you and the Queen chosen a name?

Half of my city to achieve this.

Hand wringing to rest himself.

Hard lessons are not welcomed but suffered.

Harrold: Get Mellos! Get back!

Harrold: It is with great pleasure

Harrold: Lord Corlys of House Velaryon.

Harrold: Ser Criston Cole.

Harrold: Ser Desmond Caron,

Harrold: Ser Rymun Mallister.

Harrold: The Hand, Your Grace.

Has anybody ever told you you're nearly as pretty as your brother?

Has been made more auspicious

Has claimed the Targaryen seat on Dragonstone

Has she been harmed?

Has styled himself the prince admiral of this Triarchy.

Has surrounded himself with an army of gold cloaks,

Has taken to styling itself "the Triarchy."

Has there been any word from your dear brother?

Have allowed him to accumulate strength.

Have this rumormonger brought before me at once.

Have you spoken to her?

Having your favor would all but assure it.

He called me boy.

He chose you for his heir.

He claims he's taken to wife and made with child?

He could never stay away from the lists.

He could not have witnessed such a thing.

He didn't choose me. He spurns Daemon.

He doesn't seize for himself.

He has no interest in such things.

He has two things Rhaenyra cannot:

He hasn't yet seen the new tapestries

He is impulsive and violent.

He is... frustrated.

He lacks the patience for it.

He or she will do so bearing the name Targaryen.

He passed in peace, I hope.

He passed through the Red Keep's gates at first light.

He plans to wed his daughter Laena to the Sealord's son.

He proposed a marriage.

He reported it to the King.

He sailed home to Driftmark.

He took me into the city for some fun.

He took me to a show. I...

He wants Aegon to be named heir.

He was found to have passed

He was the last mounted of three and twenty knights.

He will outgrow it.

He would not be like to take it well.

He would not dare withhold them in the face of the realm's need.

He'll be glad of a visitor.

He'll make a fine knight of the Kingsguard.

He's failed as a servant.

He's still young.

Hear now their vows.

Heir to the Iron Throne...

Her condition must be something very serious.

Her father must propagate the royal line.

Her kind... is not soon to be seen again.

Her mother has passed.

Her neck and skull both crushed in the fall.

Here in the quiet of the Sept...

Here is the hard truth,

Here it is.

Hey!

Hid his song in the steel.

High Septon: Here, in the presence of gods and men,

High Septon: The love of the Seven is holy and eternal.

His Grace has honored me with the post.

His Grace put before you, or how you abruptly ended the tour

His Grace would never lower himself to entertain such a mummer's farce.

His men might not put the Prince's head on a spike,

His new wife will produce new heirs,

His remains are being prepared

Hm, I shall hope for a different outcome.

Hm?

House High tower

House Lannister with their lord, Jason Lannister.

House Velaryon's origins reach back to Old Valyria.

How angry is he?

How are they...

How do you think he will take it?

How does confessing to such things serve him?

How I wish that could be, Rhaenyra.

How long did it take you to choose yourself over your King?

How often does he speak the pure truth?

How romantic it must be to get imprisoned in a castle

How you loathe the lot of your position,

How's Rhaenyra?

However,

Husband.

I admit, I cannot imagine what you might have planned for the wedding.

I agree.

I always welcome the unfettered thoughts of my council.

I am cousin to your late lady wife.

I am making an accusation.

I am not prepared to start a war with the Free Cities.

I am not so common.

I am the crown, Ser Criston.

I am the Princess. To...

I am your servant as always, my Queen.

I am.

I apologize for the early hour, Your Grace.

I asked the stonemasons to mend it.

I asked whether this bothers you.

I believe I'm quite content as a spectator, thank you.

I believe Ser Criston has bloodied that white cloak of his

I bought you something.

I brought a book.

I brought you something.

I can assure you, the sheep are prettier.

I can find comfort these days.

I can say that I built my house's high seat

I can think of no man more suited to be the Hand of the King.

I cannot say the same for your brother.

I cannot say why.

I choose Ser Criston Cole.

I confess I had a similar desire.

I corroborated this report

I could bring in another.

I could even arrange one with silver hair.

I could father a dozen bastards,

I could learn to like that one.

I could never replace your mother.

I could think of no better man than Ser Laenor.

I deserve no consideration.

I did not ask for a lesson in politics.

I did wonder if she could be relied upon

I didn't come into your service wanting gold or power

I discovered that Ser Criston was the only man among them

I do fear what Rhaenyra might think.

I do hope she's not unwell.

I do know how passionate you are for the histories.

I do not wish to make us estranged.

I do not wish to see you go.

I do.

I don't know what you mean.

I don't need mothering, Rhaenyra.

I don't need protection from a common whore.

I don't wish to cause you further distress,

I endured it for as long as I could.

I ensured long ago that I would never be

I fear I must question you on a,

I fear Lord Corlys's pride is the least of our worries.

I fear nothing short of a direct line

I fear that she wouldn't understand them.

I fear that the eyes of our enemies

I feel close to her.

I feel it important

I feel, forgive me,

I find I have... few friends lately.

I find it a bit greasy for my taste.

I find this is a way to be with my mother.

I fought for a year as a foot solider against the Dornish incursions.

I found myself thinking of your own mother today.

I had considered saying nothing, but...

I had hoped to pay my respects.

I had not thought you particularly comfortable in this home.

I have a report I feel compelled to share.

I have acted, Corlys.

I have been sold as property

I have come looking for an unencumbered opinion.

I have committed it.

I have decided to name a new heir.

I have decided to take a new wife.

I have deep knowledge of the port at Sun spear

I have dishonored myself.

I have felt Corlys Velaryon's envious gaze staring at me

I have neither fought nor conquered,

I have no such intent, Your Grace.

I have only ever defended you!

I have several.

I have spent a lifetime defending you.

I have wasted the years since you were born...

I have, um...

I haven't given marriage much thought.

I haven't seen him in years.

I heard that Lady Elinor is hiding a swollen belly beneath her dress.

I held an audience earlier today

I hold nothing against you, cousin.

I hope for my father that he gets a son.

I hope to herald in a second Age of Dragons

I hope you can forgive the late hour, Princess.

I imagine even dragons get lonely.

I intend to marry...

I just hope you don't have to maim

I just...

I knew what I wanted.

I knew you couldn't finish.
