Game of Thrones, Season 6

Jon Snow:
Lady Mormont.

Lyanna Mormont:
Welcome to Bear Island.

Sansa Stark:
I remember when you were born, my lady. You were named for my aunt Lyanna. They said she was a great beauty. I'm sure you will be, too.

Lyanna Mormont:
I doubt it. My mother wasn't a great beauty or any other kind of beauty. She was a great warrior, though. She died fighting for your brother, Robb.

Jon Snow:
I served under your uncle at Castle Black, Lady Lyanna. He was also a great warrior and an honorable man. I was his steward and...

Lyanna Mormont:
I think we've had enough small talk. Why're you here?

Jon Snow:
Stannis Baratheon garrisoned at Castle Black before he marched on Winterfell and was killed. He showed me the letter you wrote to him when he petitioned for men. It said...

Lyanna Mormont:
I remember what it said. "Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark."

Jon Snow:
Robb is gone, but House Stark is not, and it needs your support now more than ever. I've come with my sister to ask for House Mormont's allegiance.

[A maester whispers in Lyanna's ear]

Lyanna Mormont:
As far as I understand you're a Snow, and Lady Sansa is a Bolton. Or is she a Lannister? I've heard conflicting reports.

Sansa Stark:
I did what I had to do to survive, my lady, but I am a Stark. I will always be a Stark.

Lyanna Mormont:
If you say so. In any case, you don't just want my allegiance. You want my fighting men.

Jon Snow:
Ramsay Bolton cannot be allowed to keep Winterfell, my lady. It is our duty to stop him. Even more so because he holds our brother Rickon Stark as prisoner. What you have to understand, my lady, is that...

Lyanna Mormont:
I understand that I'm responsible for Bear Island and all who live here. So why should I sacrifice one more Mormont life for someone else's war?

Davos Seaworth:
If it please, my lady, I understand how you feel.

Lyanna Mormont:
I don't know you. Ser...?

Davos Seaworth:
Davos, my lady. Of House Seaworth.

[Lyanna turns to her maester]

Davos Seaworth:
You needn't ask your maester about my house. It's rather new.

Lyanna Mormont:
Alright, Ser Davos of House Seaworth. How is it you understand how I feel?

Davos Seaworth:
You never thought you'd find yourself in your position, being responsible for so many lives at such a young age. I never thought I'd be in my position. I was a crabber's son, then I was a smuggler, and now I find myself addressing the lady of a great house in time of war. But I'm here because this isn't someone else's war. It's our war.

Lyanna Mormont:
Go on, Ser Davos.

Davos Seaworth:
Your uncle, Lord Commander Mormont, made that man his steward. He chose Jon to be his successor because he knew he had the courage to do what was right, even if it meant giving his life. Because Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow both understood that the real war isn't between a few squabbling houses. It's between the living and the dead, and make no mistake, my lady: the dead are coming.

Lyanna Mormont:
[to Jon] Is this true?

Jon Snow:
[nods] Your uncle fought them at the Fist of the First Men, I fought them at Hardhome. We both lost.

Davos Seaworth:
As long as the Boltons hold Winterfell, the North is divided, and a divided North won't stand a chance against the Night King. You want to protect your people, my lady, I understand. But there's no hiding from this. We have to fight and we need to do it together.

[The maester leans in to whisper, but Lyanna waves him off]

Lyanna Mormont:
House Mormont has kept faith with House Stark for a thousand years. We will not break faith today.

Jon Snow:
Thank you, my lady. How many fighting men can we expect?

[An advisor whispers in Lyanna's ear]

Lyanna Mormont:
62.

Jon Snow:
62?

Lyanna Mormont:
We are not a large house, but we're a proud one, and every man from Bear Island fights with the strength of ten mainlanders.

Davos Seaworth:
If they're half as ferocious as their Lady, the Boltons are doomed.
