Oberyn Martell: I'm sorry about your grandson.Tywin Lannister: Are you?Oberyn Martell: I don't believe that a child is responsible for the sins of his father- or his grandfather. An awful way to die...Tywin Lannister: Which way is that?Oberyn Martell: Are you interrogating me, Lord Tywin?Tywin Lannister: Some believe the king choked.Oberyn Martell: Some believe the sky is blue because we live inside the eye of a blue-eyed giant. The king was poisoned.Tywin Lannister: I hear you studied poisons at the Citadel.Oberyn Martell: I did. This is why I know.Tywin Lannister: Your hatred for my family is...rather well known. You arrive in the capital, an expert in poisoning; some days later, my grandson dies of poisoning.Oberyn Martell: Rather suspicious. Why haven't you thrown me in a dungeon?Tywin Lannister: You spoke with Tyrion in this very brothel on the day you arrived. What did you discuss?Oberyn Martell: [amused] You think we conspired together?Tywin Lannister: What did you discuss?Oberyn Martell: The death of my sister. [approaches Tywin menacingly]Tywin Lannister: For which you blame me.Oberyn Martell: [angrily] She was raped and murdered by the Mountain. The Mountain follows your orders. Of course I blame you.Tywin Lannister: [cocks an eyebrow] I stand before you unarmed, unguarded. Should I be worried?Oberyn Martell: [smiles coldly] You are unarmed and unguarded because you know me better than that. I'm a man of reason; if I slit your throat today, I will be drawn and quartered tomorrow.Tywin Lannister: Men at war commit all kinds of crimes, without their superiors' knowledge.Oberyn Martell: So you're denying involvement in Elia's murder?Tywin Lannister: Categorically. [long pause, then Oberyn turns away]Oberyn Martell: I would like to speak with the Mountain.Tywin Lannister: [raises his eyebrows again, smiles] I'm sure he would enjoy speaking with you.Oberyn Martell: He might not enjoy it as he thinks he would.Tywin Lannister: I could arrange for this meeting-Oberyn Martell: But you want something in return.Tywin Lannister: There will be a trial for my son and as custom dictates, three judges will render a verdict. I will preside, Mace Tyrell will serve as the second judge and I would like you to be the third.Oberyn Martell: Why?Tywin Lannister: Not long ago, the Tyrells sided with Renly Baratheon, declared themselves enemies of the throne; now they are our strongest allies-Oberyn Martell: Well, you made the Tyrell girl a Queen. Asking me to judge at your son's trial isn't quite as tempting.Tywin Lannister: I will also invite you to sit on the Small Council, to serve as one of the new king's principal advisors. [Oberyn sips his wine, then turns around]Oberyn Martell: I never realized you had such respect for Dorne, Lord Tywin.Tywin Lannister: We are not Seven Kingdoms until Dorne returns to the fold. The king is dead, the Greyjoys are in open rebellion, a wildling army marches on the Wall and in the East, a Targaryen girl has three dragons. Before long, she will turn her eyes to Westeros. Only the Dornish managed to resist Aegon Targaryen and his dragons.Oberyn Martell: [grins] You're saying you need us? That must be hard for you to admit.Tywin Lannister: We need each other. You help me serve justice to the King's assassins... and I will help you serve justice to Elia's. [Offers Oberyn his hand to shake]
