Game of Thrones, Season 8
[Daenerys inspects the Iron Throne as Jon enters the throne room behind her]
Daenerys Targaryen:
When I was a girl, my brother told me it was made from a thousand swords from Aegon's fallen enemies. What do a thousand swords look like in the mind of a little girl who can't count to twenty? I imagined a mountain of swords too high to climb. So many fallen enemies you could only see the soles of Aegon's feet!
Jon Snow:
I saw them executing Lannister prisoners in the street! They said they were acting on your orders.
Daenerys Targaryen:
It was necessary.
Jon Snow:
Necessary?! Have you been down there?! Have you seen?! Children, little children burned!
Daenerys Targaryen:
I tried to make peace with Cersei. She used their innocence as a weapon against me. She thought it would cripple me.
Jon Snow:
And Tyrion?
Daenerys Targaryen:
He conspired behind my back with my enemies. How have you treated people who did the same to you, even when it broke your heart?
Jon Snow:
[close to tears] Forgive him.
Daenerys Targaryen:
I can't.
Jon Snow:
You can. You can forgive all of them, make them see they made a mistake. Make them understand. Please, Dany.
Daenerys Targaryen:
We can't hide behind small mercies. The world we need won't be built by men loyal to the one we have.
Jon Snow:
The world we need is a world of mercy, it has to be!
Daenerys Targaryen:
And it will be! It's not easy to see something that's never been before...a good world.
Jon Snow:
How do you know? How do you know it will be good?
Daenerys Targaryen:
Because I know what is good. And so do you.
Jon Snow:
I don't!
Daenerys Targaryen:
You do! You do, you've always known!
Jon Snow:
What about everyone else? All the other people who think they know what's good?
Daenerys Targaryen:
They don't get to choose. Be with me. Build the new world with me! This is our reason! It has been from the beginning, since you were a little boy with a bastard's name and I was a little girl who couldn't count to twenty! We do it together! We break the wheel...together.
Jon Snow:
You are my Queen. Now and always.
[They kiss, then Jon stabs Daenerys]
