Game of Thrones quotes to tide you over.

How's that Game of Thrones withdrawal going for you? Season 3 airs Sunday March 31, or in 240 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes 3 seconds from this posting. Luckily there are a few ways to feed your addiction: you can re-watch the episodes (like I just did with the pilot), and read or re-read the books (just started reading A Game of Thrones as well). Here are some fun quotations from the pilot episode Winter is Coming:


Robert Baratheon to Eddard Stark: “You’ve got fat.”

Jaime Lannister: “Don’t leave me alone with these people.”

Benjyn Stark: “I rode all day. Didn’t want to leave you alone with the Lannisters.”

Ned Stark: “I hope I’ll serve you well.”
Robert Baratheon: “You will. And I’ll make sure you don’t look so fucking grim all the time.”

Ned Stark: “How did he get so fat?”
Catelyn Stark: “He only stops drinking when it’s time to eat.”

Benjen Stark “Dire wolves south of the wall, talk of the walkers, and my brother might be the hand of the king. Winter IS coming.”

Check out the scars on that Stark. Did you notice them the first time through?

Ned Stark: “The king takes what he wants. That’s why he’s king.”
Catelyn Stark: “And I’ll say, listen, fat man, you are not taking my husband anywhere.”

Benjyn Stark to Ned: “You at a feast is like a bear in a trap.”

The Hound (Sandor Clegane) “I didn’t pick you for a hunter.”
Tyrion Lannister: “I’m the greatest in the land, and my spear never misses.”
The Hound: “It’s not hunting if you pay for it.”

Robert: “You as good with a spear as you used to be?”
Ned: “No, but I’m still better than you.”

Robb Stark: “I hear the prince is a right royal prick.”
Theon Greyjoy: “Think of all the southern girls he gets to stab with his right royal prick.”

Robb Stark (about Jon Snow): “Go on, Tommy, shave him good. He’s never met a girl he likes better than his own hair.”

Ned Stark: “I don’t fight in tournaments, because when I fight a man for real, I don’t want him to know what I can do.”
Jaime Lannister: “Well said.”

Ned Stark: “How did he get so fat?”
Catelyn Stark: “He only stops drinking when it’s time to eat.”

Tyrion Lannister: “All dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes.”

Magister Illyrio: “A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.”
The maid says, "It's too hot milady!" Foreshadowing that Dany is the real dragon?
Viserys Targaryen: “I piss on Dothraki omens.”

Ser Jorah: “There is no word for 'Thank You' in Dothraki.”

Magister Illyrio: “Dragon eggs, from the shadowlands beyond Ashai. The ages have turned them to stone, but they will always be beautiful.”

The Hound: “Rough night imp?”
Tyrion Lannister: “If I get through this without squirting from one end or the other it will be a miracle.”

Jaime Lannister: “The things I do for love.”
