Alicent Hightower: Listen to me, Aegon. Your grandfather, the Hand, will try to impress on you that Rhaenyra should be put to the sword. You must reject this counsel. We must not rule with cruelty and callousness. For all her faults, she is your sister, your father's daughter...

Aegon Targaryen: Do you love me?

Alicent Hightower: You imbecile.

Larys Strong (to Alicent): There is a web of spies at work in the Red Keep. Along its threads travels news of all our doings. Your father knows this, but has left it in place. More than once, it has proved advantageous to those willing to... feed the weaver.

Alicent Hightower (to Otto): Reluctance to murder is not a weakness!

Otto Hightower (to Alicent): A sacrifice made for the stability of the realm. No king has ever lived that hasn't had to forfeit the lives of a few to protect the many.

Alicent Hightower: None of this is a game.

Otto Hightower: And yet you treat it as one. A charming contest, the prize, a pouch of silver. We have relied on one another these many years. And now it is the good of the family that we both desire. Whatever our differences, our hearts remain as one.

Alicent Hightower: Our hearts were never one. I see that now. Rather, I have been a piece that you moved about the board.

Mysaria (to Otto): There is no power but what the people allow you to take.

Rhaenys Targaryen (to Alicent): A true queen counts the cost to her people. And yet you toil still in service to men. Your father, your husband, your son. You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison. Have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne?

Otto Hightower: You'll not leave this room without declaring your intention.

Lord Merryweather: I am no oath breaker. I will not bend the knee.

(After the death of Viserys I.)

Harrold Westerling: I am Lord Commander of the Kings guard. I recognize no authority but the King's. And until there is one... I have no place here.

Orwyle (about Rhaenyra): A living challenger invites battle and bloodshed.

Viserys Targaryen: Let us no longer hold ill feelings in our hearts. The crown cannot stand strong if the House of the Dragon remains divided. But set aside your grievances. If not for the sake of the crown... then for the sake of this old man... who loves you all so dearly.
