Quotes 

• Qyburn : [about Jaime's steel hand]  A work of art. The craftsmanship is excellent.

  Jaime Lannister : You like it so much, you're welcome to chop off your own hand and take it.

  Cersei Lannister : You're such an ingrate. I spent days with the goldsmith getting the details just right.

  Jaime Lannister : Days?

  [pause] 

  Cersei Lannister : Better part of an afternoon.

• [Jaime and Brienne are watching Sansa] 

  Brienne of Tarth : There she is.

  Jaime Lannister : Yes, there she is. And?

  Brienne of Tarth : You made a promise.

  Jaime Lannister : To return the Stark girls to their mother who is now dead.

  Brienne of Tarth : [sharply]  To keep them safe!

  Jaime Lannister : Well, Arya Stark hasn't been seen since her father was killed. Where do you think she is? My money's on dead. There's a certain safety in death, wouldn't you say? And Sansa Stark is now Sansa Lannister. Bit of a complication.

  Brienne of Tarth : A "complication" does not release you from a vow.

  Jaime Lannister : What do you want me to do? Kidnap my sister-in-law? And take her where? Where would she be safer than here?

  Brienne of Tarth : Look me in the eye and tell me that you think she'll be safe in King's Landing.

  Jaime Lannister : [winces]  Are you sure we're not related? Ever since I've returned, every Lannister I've seen has been a miserable pain in my ass. Maybe you're a Lannister, too. You've got the hair for it if not the looks.

  [Jaime walks away. Brienne pauses for a moment, then follows him] 

• Jaime Lannister : You drink more than you used to.

  Cersei Lannister : Yes.

  Jaime Lannister : Why?

  Cersei Lannister : Hmm. Let's see. You started a brawl in the streets with Ned Stark and disappeared from the capital. My husband died in a tragic hunting accident.

  Jaime Lannister : [patronizing]  It must have been traumatic for you.

  Cersei Lannister : My only daughter was shipped off to Dorne. We suffered through a siege.

  Jaime Lannister : A rather short siege.

  Cersei Lannister : Rather a short siege that I didn't expect to survive. And now I'm marrying my eldest son to a wicked little bitch from Highgarden, while I'm supposed to marry her brother, a renowned pillow-biter. So...

• [Tywin gives Jaime a sword made of Valyrian steel] 

  Jaime Lannister : You've wanted one of these in the family for a long time.

  Tywin Lannister : And now we have two.

  Jaime Lannister : Two?

  Tywin Lannister : The original weapon was absurdly large. Plenty of steel for two swords.
