Quotes 

• Lord Varys : You have your father's instincts for politics and you have compassion.

  Tyrion Lannister : Compassion. Yes. I killed my lover with my bare hands and I shot my own father with a crossbow.

  Lord Varys : I never said you were perfect.

• Lord Varys : The Seven Kingdoms need someone stronger than Tommen but gentler than Stannis. A monarch who could intimidate the High Lords and inspire the people. A ruler loved by millions, with a powerful army, and the right family name.

  Tyrion Lannister : Good luck finding him.

  Lord Varys : Who said anything about "him"?

• Tyrion Lannister : Do you know what it's like to stuff your shit through one of those air holes?

  Lord Varys : No. I only know what it's like to pick up your shit and throw it overboard.

• Tyrion Lannister : What is it that you want exactly?

  Lord Varys : Peace. Prosperity. A land where the powerful do not prey on the powerless.

  Tyrion Lannister : Where the castles are made of gingerbread and the moats are filled with blackberry wine. The powerful have always preyed on the powerless, that's how they became powerful in the first place.

  Lord Varys : Perhaps. And perhaps we've grown so used to horror we assume there's no other way.

• Lord Varys : You have a choice, my friend. You can stay here at Illyrio's palace and drink yourself to death or you can ride with me to Meereen, meet Daenerys Targaryen and decide if the world is worth fighting for

  Tyrion Lannister : Can I drink myself to death on the road to Meereen?

• Lord Varys : Any fool with a bit of luck can find himself born into power. But earning it for yourself, that takes work.

• Lord Varys : I don't believe in saviors. I believe men of talent have a part to play in the war to come.

• Tyrion Lannister : I still don't see why I had to stay in this fucking crate once we set sail.

  Lord Varys : I saved your life. If they catch you, they catch me. I cannot say I feel overly guilty about leaving you in that fucking crate.

• Lord Varys : You already drank yourself across the Narrow Sea.

  Tyrion Lannister : In a box. Why stop now?

  Lord Varys : Because we are talking about the future of our country.

  [Tyrion takes a sip of wine] 

  Tyrion Lannister : The future... is shit. Just like the past.

  [Tyrion vomits]
