Tyrion Lannister:
How did they find you? [Jaime raises his gilded hand] Did you consider taking it off?

Jaime Lannister:
Cersei once called me "the stupidest Lannister".

Tyrion Lannister:
And you're going back with her, to die with her.

Jaime Lannister:
You've underestimated her before.

Tyrion Lannister:
She's going to die. Unless you can convince her to change her course of action.

Jaime Lannister:
Difficult to do from here. [Tyrion holds up a key, Jaime exhales sharply] When have I ever been able to convince Cersei of anything?

Tyrion Lannister:
Try. If not for yourself, if not for her... then for every one of the million people in that city, innocent or otherwise.

Jaime Lannister:
To be honest, I never really much cared for them. Innocent or otherwise.

Tyrion Lannister:
You do care for one innocent. I know you do. And so does Cersei. She has a reason now.

Jaime Lannister:
[shakes his head] The child is the reason she'll never give an inch. All the worst things she's ever done, she's done for her children. It's not impossible that she'll win.

Tyrion Lannister:
She won't.

Jaime Lannister:
Her enemies' forces have been depleted, as she said they would be. Two of the three dragons are dead. [shrugs] She's evened the odds.

Tyrion Lannister:
The city will fall tomorrow.

Jaime Lannister:
She has the Lannister army, she has the Golden Company.

Tyrion Lannister:
I defended this city last time it was attacked, I know it better than anyone! It will fall tomorrow!

Jaime Lannister:
Then I suppose I'll die tomorrow, if not before.

Tyrion Lannister:
Why? [sits down in front of Jaime] Escape. The two of you, together. Remember where we met, where they keep the dragon skulls, beneath the Red Keep? [Jaime nods] Take her down there. Keep following the staircases down, down as far as they'll go. You'll come out onto a beach, at the foot of the Keep. A dinghy will be waiting for you. Sail out of the bay. If the winds are kind, you'll make it to Pentos. Start a new life.

Jaime Lannister:
Sail right past the Iron Fleet and into a new life? Sounds a lot less likely than Cersei winning this war.

Tyrion Lannister:
There won't be an Iron Fleet for much longer! Do it! If you don't, you'll never see Cersei again. [pause] Swear to me.

Jaime Lannister:
You have my word.

[Tyrion begins unlocking Jaime's chains]

Tyrion Lannister:
If it works, give the order to ring all the bells in King's Landing and open the gates. That will be our signal that the city has surrendered.

Jaime Lannister:
I'll try.

[He pulls his collar off]

Tyrion Lannister:
I never thought I'd get to repay the favor. Remember, ring the bells and open the gates.

Jaime Lannister:
Your Queen will execute you for this.

Tyrion Lannister:
If Daenerys can make it to the throne without wading through a river of blood, maybe she'll show mercy to the person who made that possible. [Jaime looks at him skeptically] Tens of thousands of innocent lives... one not particularly innocent dwarf. It seems like a fair trade. [pause] If it weren't for you, I never would've survived my childhood.

Jaime Lannister:
You would have.

Tyrion Lannister:
[shakes his head] You were the only one... who didn't treat me like a monster. [tearfully] You were all I had.

[The brothers embrace]
