Game of Thrones, Season 2
Spice King:
Look what a beauty you are now that the Red Waste has been washed of you. I am sorry about all that unpleasantness. The silver hair of a true Targaryen. Xaro Xhoan Doxas, she is far to lovely for a glorified dock worker like yourself.
Xaro Xhoan Doxas:
Very true, and yet they say that your grandfather sold pepper on the back of a wagon, married a lady far lovelier and higher-born than himself.
Spice King:
Every lady alive was lovelier and higher-born than my grandfather. [Daenaerys cleares her throat] Did my servants not offer you anything to eat? To drink? I shall have them flogged in the square-
Daenerys Targaryen:
Thank you my lord, you are a gracious host, but there is no servant alive that can bring me what I want.
Spice King:
Ah, she has a talent for drama this one. So my little princess, what is it you want?
Daenerys Targaryen:
My birthright; the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
Spice King:
I fear I'm no better than a servant in this regard; I cannot give you what I do not have
Daenerys Targaryen:
I'm not asking you for the Kingdoms. I'm asking you for ships. I need to cross the Narrow Sea
Spice King:
I need my ships as well. I use them, you see, to bring spices from one port to another-
Daenerys Targaryen:
Whatever you grant me now will be repaid three times over when I retake the Iron Throne.
Spice King:
Retake? Did you once sit on the Iron Throne?
Daenerys Targaryen:
My father sat there before he was murdered.
Spice King:
If you did not sit on it yourself, would it not be correcter to say 'take' the Iron Throne?
Daenerys Targaryen:
I did not come here to argue grammar.
Spice King:
Of course not. You came to take my ships. So let me explain my position little princess. Unlike you, I do not have exulted ancestors. I make my living by trade and I judge every trade on its merits. You ask for ships. You say I will be repaid triple. I do not doubt your honesty or intentions, but before you repay your debts your must seize the Seven Kingdoms. Do you have an army?
Daenerys Targaryen:
Not yet.
Spice King:
You do not have an army. Do you have powerful allies in Westeros?
Daenerys Targaryen:
There are many there who support my claim.
Spice King:
When were you there last?
Daenerys Targaryen:
I left when I was a baby.
Spice King:
So in truth you have no allies.
Daenerys Targaryen:
The people will rise to fight for their rightful Queen when I return.
Spice King:
Ah. Forgive me little princess, but I cannot make an investment based on wishes and dreams!
