Viserys Targaryen
- Viserys Targaryen: You would turn me into one of them, wouldn't you! Next you'll want to braid my hair!
- Daenerys Targaryen: You've no right to a braid! You've won no victories yet!
- Doreah: What happened to the dragons? I was told that brave men killed them all.
- Viserys Targaryen: Brave men didn't kill dragons. The brave men rode them. Rode them from Valyria to build the greatest civilization this world has ever seen. The breath of the greatest dragon forged the Iron Throne, which the Usurper is keeping warm for me. The swords of the vanquished, a thousand of them... melted together like so many candles.
- Doreah: I have always wanted to see a dragon. There's nothing in the world that I would rather see.
- Viserys Targaryen: Really? Why dragons?
- Doreah: They can fly. And wherever they are, just a few flaps of their wings and they're somewhere else... far away. And they can kill. Anyone or anything that tries to hurt them gets burned away to nothing... melted... like so many candles.
- [Doreah pours hot wax on Viserys]
- Viserys Targaryen: Ow.
- Doreah: Yes. Seeing a dragon would make me very happy.
- Viserys Targaryen: Well, after 15 years in a pleasure house, I imagine just seeing the sky makes you happy.
- Doreah: I was not locked in. I have seen things.
- Viserys Targaryen: What have you seen?
- Doreah: I've seen... a man from Asshai with a dagger of real dragonglass.
- Viserys Targaryen: Ooh.
- Doreah: I've seen a man who could change his face the way that other men change their clothes. And I've seen a pirate who wore his weight in gold and whose ship had sails of colored silk. So... have you seen one?
- Viserys Targaryen: A pirate ship?
- Doreah: A dragon.
- Viserys Targaryen: No. No, the last one died many years before I was born. I'll tell you what I have seen - their skulls. They used to decorate the throne room in the Red Keep. When I was very young, just three or four, my father used to walk me down the rows and I'd recite their names for him. When I got them all right, he'd give me a sweet. The ones closest to the door were the last ones they were able to hatch and they were all stunted and wrong with skulls no bigger than dog skulls. But... but as you got closer to the Iron Throne... they got bigger and bigger and bigger. There was Ghiscar and Valryon, Vermithrax, Essovius... Archonei, Meraxes, Vhagar... and Balerion the Dread... whose fire forged the Seven Kingdoms into one.
- [Doreah kisses Viserys passionately]
- Doreah: What happened to the skulls?
- Viserys Targaryen: I don't know.
- Viserys Targaryen: [shakes his head] The usurper had them smashed to powder, I expect...
- [Viserys kisses the girl]
- Viserys Targaryen: ... scattered to the wind.
- [they continue kissing until Doreah breaks it off]
- Doreah: That's very sad.
- Viserys Targaryen: Yes, it is!
- [Viserys contemptuously brushes Doreah's hands away from his face]
- Viserys Targaryen: What did I buy you for? To make me sad?
- [Viserys's face is all frowny]
- Doreah: No, Your Grace. To, uh... teach your sister.
- Viserys Targaryen: To teach my sister how to be a better lover? You think I bought you to make Khal Drogo happy?
- [Doreah struggles to have an answer to this]
- Viserys Targaryen: Oh, you pretty little idiot!
- [Viserys sits back, smirks, awaits his pleasuring]
- Viserys Targaryen: Go on, get on with it!
- Ser Jorah Mormont: [as they approach on horseback] Vaes Dothrak. City of the horse-lords.
- Viserys Targaryen: [contemptuously] A pile of mud. Mud, shit and twigs. The best these savages can do.
- Daenerys Targaryen: These are my people now. You shouldn't call them savages.
- Viserys Targaryen: I'll call them what I like, because they're my people. This is my army. Khal Drogo is marching the wrong way with my army.
