Cersei Lannister
- Cersei Lannister: You're in pain.
- Eddard Stark: [rising wearily] I've had worse, my lady.
- Cersei Lannister: Perhaps it is time to go home. The south doesn't seem to agree with you.
- Eddard Stark: I know the truth Jon Arryn died for.
- Cersei Lannister: Do you, Lord Stark? Is that why you called me here, to pose me riddles?
- Eddard Stark: [looks at Cersei's bruise, inflicted by Robert] Has he done this before?
- Cersei Lannister: [self-consciously] Jaime would have killed him. My brother is worth a thousand of your friend.
- Eddard Stark: Your brother? Or your lover?
- Cersei Lannister: The Targaryens wed brothers and sisters for three hundred years to keep bloodlines pure. Jaime and I are more than brother and sister. We shared a womb. We came into this world together, we belong together.
- Eddard Stark: My son saw you with him.
- Cersei Lannister: Do you love your children?
- Eddard Stark: With all my heart.
- Cersei Lannister: No more than I love mine.
- Eddard Stark: And they're all Jaime's?
- Cersei Lannister: [scoffs] Thank the gods. In the rare event when Robert finished with his whores for long enough to stumble drunkenly into my bed, I finished him off in other ways. In the morning, he doesn't remember.
- Eddard Stark: You always hated him.
- Cersei Lannister: Hated him? I worshiped him. Every girl in the Seven Kingdoms dreamed of him, but he was mine by oath. And when I finally saw him on our wedding day in the Sept of Baelor, lean, fierce and black-bearded, it was the happiest day of my life. And that night he crawled on top of me, stinking of wine, and did what he did, what little he could do... and he whispered in my ear "Lyanna"... Your sister was a corpse and I was a living girl and he loved her more than me.
- Eddard Stark: When the king returns from his hunt, I'll tell him the truth. You must be gone by then, you and your children. I won't have their blood on my hands. Go as far away as you can, with as many men as you can, because Robert's wrath will follow you.
- Cersei Lannister: And what about my wrath, Lord Stark? You should have taken the realm yourself. Jaime told me about the day King's Landing fell. He was sitting in the Iron Throne and you made him give it up. All you needed to do was climb those steps yourself. Such a sad mistake.
- Eddard Stark: I've made many mistakes in my life, but that wasn't one of them.
- Cersei Lannister: Oh, but it was. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
