Game of Thrones, Season 7

Cersei Lannister:
What are you doing?

Jaime Lannister:
Preparing the expedition north.

Cersei Lannister:
Expedition north? I always knew you were the stupidest Lannister. [Jaime looks at her in astonishment] The Starks and Targaryens have united against us and you want to fight alongside them. Are you a traitor, or an idiot?

Jaime Lannister:
You pledged our forces to fight our common enemy.

Cersei Lannister:
I'll say whatever I need to say to ensure the survival of our house. You expect me to trust the man who murdered our father? You expect me to command our troops to fight beside foreign scum? To fight for the Dragon Queen?

Jaime Lannister:
You saw it with your own eyes, you saw a dead man trying to kill us!

Cersei Lannister:
And I saw it burn. If dragons can't stop them, if Dothraki and Unsullied and Northmen can't stop them, how will our armies make a difference?

Jaime Lannister:
This isn't about noble houses, this is about the living and the dead!

Cersei Lannister:
And I intend to stay amongst the living. Let the Stark boy and his new queen defend the North. We'll stay here where we've always been.

Jaime Lannister:
I made a promise.

Cersei Lannister:
Our child will rule Westeros.

Jaime Lannister:
Our child will never be born if the dead come south.

Cersei Lannister:
The monsters are real. The White Walkers, the dragons, the Dothraki screamers. All the frightening stories we heard when we were young, they're all real, so be it. Let the monsters kill each other, and while they battle in the North we take back the lands that belong to us.

Jaime Lannister:
And then what?

Cersei Lannister:
And then we rule.

Jaime Lannister:
When the fighting in the North is over, someone wins; you understand that, don't you? If the dead win, they march south and kill us all. If the living win, and we've betrayed them, they march south and kill us all!

Cersei Lannister:
The Targaryens and the Starks already want to kill us all. Most of them will die in the North.

Jaime Lannister:
I faced them in the field. We can't beat them, we can't beat their dragons!

Cersei Lannister:
How many dragons did you see at the pit?

Jaime Lannister:
Two.

Cersei Lannister:
What happened to the third?

Jaime Lannister:
For all we know, it's guarding her fleet!

Cersei Lannister:
She came here with her dragons and her Dothraki and her Unsullied, she came here to show us all her power. No, something happened; the dragons are vulnerable.

Jaime Lannister:
We can't beat the Dothraki! We don't have the numbers, we don't have the support of the other houses!

Cersei Lannister:
No, we have something better - we have the Iron Bank. You should have listened more when Father spoke about the importance of gold. Oh, I know it was boring for you. You just wanted to hunt and ride and fight. But I listened, I learned. Highgarden bought us the most powerful army in Essos - the Golden Company. 20,000 men, horses, elephants, I believe.

Jaime Lannister:
The Golden Company is not here; they're in Essos. How is a mercenary company in Essos going to help us?!

Cersei Lannister:
Do you really think Euron Greyjoy turned tail and sailed back to the Iron Islands? Do you think he abandoned the chance to marry the Queen? No one walks away from me. He's sailing with his fleet to Essos, he's going to ferry the Golden Company back here to help us win the war for Westeros.

Jaime Lannister:
You plotted with Euron Greyjoy without telling me, the commander of your armies?

Cersei Lannister:
And you conspired with Tyrion, the man who murdered our father, without telling me, your Queen.

Jaime Lannister:
I didn't conspire with...

Cersei Lannister:
You met with him in secret without my consent. You planned to promote my enemy's interests! That is the definition of conspiracy.

Jaime Lannister:
I pledged to ride north. I intend to honor that pledge.

Cersei Lannister:
Then that will be treason.

Jaime Lannister:
Treason?!

Cersei Lannister:
Disobeying your queen's command, fighting with her enemies - what would you call it?

Jaime Lannister:
Doesn't matter what I'd call it.

[Jaime moves to leave, but Ser Gregor blocks his path]

Cersei Lannister:
I told you: no one walks away from me.

Jaime Lannister:
Are you going to order him to kill me?! I'm the only one you have left. Our children are gone, our father is gone, it's just me and you now.

Cersei Lannister:
There's one more yet to come.

Jaime Lannister:
Give the order, then.

[Cersei pauses and nods. Ser Gregor draws his blade, but no order is given.]

Jaime Lannister:
I don't believe you.

[Jaime walks away, disgusted]
