Game of Thrones, Season 2

Stannis Baratheon:
What is it?

Davos Seaworth:
I'm sorry about your brother, Your Grace. I wanted to let you know people grieve for him.

Stannis Baratheon:
Fools love a fool. I grieve for him as well, for the boy he was, not the man he grew to be.

Davos Seaworth:
I need to speak to you about what I saw in that cave...

Stannis Baratheon:
I made it clear to you there'd be no need to speak of this matter! I've never known you to need to hear a thing twice.

Davos Seaworth:
And I've never known you hide from the truth.

Stannis Baratheon:
You come to lecture me on truth?!

Davos Seaworth:
I've come to tell you what I saw-!

Stannis Baratheon:
All my brother's bannermen have come to my side, except the Tyrells, who fled like cowards. They won't be able to resist us now. Soon, I'll be sitting on the Iron Throne.

Davos Seaworth:
Nothing is worth what this will cost you, not even the Iron-!

Stannis Baratheon:
I'll hear no more about it. [pause]

Davos Seaworth:
When do we sail for King's Landing?

Stannis Baratheon:
As soon as I've consolidated my troops. We'll make short work of the Lannisters' fleet; once Blackwater Bay is cleared, we'll deliver our troops to their doorstep and take the city.

Davos Seaworth:
And will you bring Lady Melisandre with you?

Stannis Baratheon:
That's not your concern.

Davos Seaworth:
If you take King's Landing with her by your side, the victory will be hers.

Stannis Baratheon:
I never thought I'd have reason to doubt your loyalty. Was I wrong?

Davos Seaworth:
Loyal service means telling hard truths.

Stannis Baratheon:
[snorts] Oh, truth again. Alright, what's the truth? The hard truth.

Davos Seaworth:
She's a foreigner, preaching a foreign religion. Some believe she whispers orders in your ear and you obey.

Stannis Baratheon:
What do you believe?

Davos Seaworth:
You won those bannermen from Renly. Don't lose them to her. [pause]

Stannis Baratheon:
We'll set out for King's Landing without Lady Melisandre [Davos nods]. And you'll lead the fleet into Blackwater Bay.

Davos Seaworth:
Your Grace, I'm honoured but my time on the sea was spent evading ships, not attacking them. The other lords won't be happy.

Stannis Baratheon:
Most of those lords should consider themselves lucky I don't hang them for treason. Hard truths cut both ways, Ser Davos.
