Game of Thrones, Season 1

[In the throne room of the Red Keep]

Jaime Lannister:
It must be strange for you, coming into this room. I was standing right here when it happened. He was very brave, your brother. Your father too. They didn't deserve to die like that; nobody deserves to die like that.

Eddard Stark:
But you just stood there and watched.

Jaime Lannister:
Five hundred men just stood there and watched. All the great knights of the Seven Kingdoms, you think anyone said a word, lifted a finger? No, Lord Stark. Five hundred men and this room was silent as a crypt...except for the screams, of course, and the Mad King laughing. And later, when I watched the Mad King die, I remembered him laughing as your father burned...it felt like justice.

Eddark Stark:
[disdainful] Is that what you tell yourself at night? You're a servant of justice? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword in Aerys Targaryen's back?

Jaime Lannister:
Tell me, if I'd stabbed the Mad King in the belly instead of the back, would you admire me more?

Eddark Stark:
You served him well. When serving was safe.
