Game of Thrones, Season 4

Alliser Thorne:
So you admit you murdered Qhorin Halfhand?

Jon Snow:
I didn't murder him.

Alliser Thorne:
No? You put your sword through a brother of the Night's Watch. What do you call that?

Jon Snow:
He wanted me to kill him.

Janos Slynt:
A bastard son of a traitor. What would you expect?

Jon Snow:
The Halfhand believed our only chance to stop Mance was to get a man inside his army.

Alliser Thorne:
Don't talk about the Halfhand as if you knew him. He was my brother.

Jon Snow:
Then you'd know he'd do anything to defend the Wall. The free folk would have boiled him alive, but letting me kill him...

Janos Slynt:
The free folk? Listen to him. He even talks like a wildling now.

Jon Snow:
Aye, I talk like a wildling. I ate with the wildlings. I climbed the Wall with the wildlings. I... I laid with a wildling girl.

Janos Slynt:
You admit to breaking your vows, then?

Jon Snow:
I do.

Janos Slynt:
The law is the law. The boy must die.

Maester Aemon:
If we beheaded every ranger who lay with a girl, the Wall would be manned by headless men.

Alliser Thorne:
There's a difference between sneaking off to the Mole's Town brothel and sleeping with the enemy.

Jon Snow:
While we sit here debating which rules I broke, Mance Rayder marches on the Wall with an army of 100,000.

Alliser Thorne:
Impossible. You can't get 50 wildlings together before they start killing each other.

Jon Snow:
100,000. He's united the Thenns, the Hornfoots, the ice-river clans. He has giants fighting for him.

Janos Slynt:
[laughs] Giants?

Jon Snow:
Have you ever been beyond the Wall, ser?

Janos Slynt:
I commanded the City Watch of King's Landing, boy.

Jon Snow:
And now you're here. You must not have been very good at your job.

Janos Slynt:
How dare you?!

Jon Snow:
There's a band of wildlings south of the Wall already led by Tormund Giantsbane. I killed their warg and three others. They shot me full of arrows. Their orders are to attack Castle Black from the south when Mance hits it from the north. The signal for the attack will be a bonfire. Mance said it would be the greatest fire the North has ever seen. That's the truth. All the truth. Do you intend to execute me or am I free to go?

Maester Aemon:
None of us are free. We are men of the Night's Watch. But we won't be taking your head today, Jon Snow.
