Rhaenyra Targaryen: I will not be a tyrant. And rule through terror.

Daemon Targaryen: A tyrant rules only through terror. If the King isn't feared, he is powerless. If you are to be a strong queen, you must cultivate love and respect, yes, but your subjects must fear you.

Laenor Velaryon: I hate the gods for making me as they did.

Rhaenyra Targaryen: I do not. You are an honorable man with a good heart. It's a rare thing.

Laenor Velaryon: I should've been there.

Rhaenyra Targaryen: Those should be our house words.

Otto Hightower: I've never seen that side of you, my daughter. I even doubted its existence.

Alicent Hightower: It was an ugly thing. I regret it.

Otto Hightower: We play an ugly game. And now, for the first time, I see that you have the determination to win it.

Rhaenyra Targaryen (to Alicent): Exhausting, wasn't it? Hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness. (whispers): But now they see you as you are.

Rhaenys Targaryen: Rhaenyra's children are not of your blood. But Laena's are. They are her legacy.

Corlys Velaryon: History does not remember blood. It remembers names.

Corlys Velaryon (to Rhaenys): What is this brief mortal life... if not the pursuit of legacy?

Daemon Targaryen (to Otto): No matter how fat the leech grows, it always wants for another meal.

Vaemond Velaryon: Salt courses through Velaryon blood. Ours runs thick. Ours runs true. And ours must never thin.

Larys Strong: What are children, but a weakness? A folly? A futility? Through them, you imagine you cheat the great darkness of its victory. You will persist forever, in some form or another. As if they will keep you from the dust. But for them... you surrender what you should not. You may know what is the right thing to be done, but love stays the hand. Love is a downfall. Best to make your way through life unencumbered if you ask me.

Viserys Targaryen: We're a family. Let us put aside these childish quarrels. Join hands and be stronger for it.

Alicent Hightower: You may do as you wish, husband... when I am cold in my grave.

Viserys Targaryen: To trust a Martell is to be disappointed.

Laenor Velaryon: The wise sailor flees the storm as it gathers.

Rhaenyra Targaryen: Dark rumors are hunting us, Laenor. They nip at our heels. Questions about our sons' parentage. Vile, disgusting insinuations.

Laenor Velaryon: Insinuations, are they?

Rhaenyra Targaryen: They are our sons! Yours and mine. And their true father will not abandon them now to go carousing through the Narrow Sea, waggling his sword and winking at his sailors.

Alicent Hightower: You are nearly a man-grown. How is it that you can be so shortsighted? If Rhaenyra comes into power... your very life could be forfeit. Aemond's as well. She could move to cut off any challenge to her succession.

Aegon Targaryen: Then I won't challenge...

Alicent Hightower: You are the challenge! You are the challenge, Aegon! Simply by living and breathing! You are the King's firstborn son and what they know, what everyone in the realm knows in their blood and in their bones is that one day, you will be our King.
