[In Astapor]

Barristan Selmy:
Leave this place, Your Grace. Leave tonight, I beg you.

Jorah Mormont:
And what is she to do for soldiers?

Barristan Selmy:
We can find sellswords in Pentos and Myr.

Jorah Mormont:
Is it we already, Ser Barristan? If you want to sit on the throne your ancestors built, you must win it. That will mean blood on your hands before the thing is done.

Daenerys Targaryen:
The blood of my enemies, not the blood of innocents.

Jorah Mormont:
How many wars have you fought in, Ser Baristan?

Barristan Selmy:
Three.

Jorah Mormont:
Have you ever seen a war in which innocents didn't die by the thousands? [Barristan remains silent, but shakes his head] I was in King's Landing after the sack, Khaleesi. You know what I saw? Butchery. Babies, children, old men, more women raped than you can count. There's a beast in every man, and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand...but the Unsullied are not men. They do not rape, they do not put cities to the sword unless they're ordered to do so. If you buy them, the only men they'll kill are those you want dead. [Barristan scoffs]

Daenerys Targaryen:
You disagree, Ser Barristan?

Barristan Selmy:
When your brother Rhaegar led his army into battle at the Trident, men died for him because they believed in him, because they loved him, not because they'd been bought at a slaver's auction. I fought beside the last dragon on that day, your Grace. I bled beside him.

Jorah Mormont:
Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly...and Rhaegar died.

Daenerys Targaryen:
Did you know him well, Ser Barristan?

Barristan Selmy:
I did, your Grace. The finest man I ever met.

Daenerys Targaryen:
I wish I had known him...but he was not the last dragon.
