Pedro Pascal: Oberyn Martell

Quotes 

• Oberyn Martell : 'Tis a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don't want to be most of us.

• Tywin Lannister : State your name.

  Shae : Shae.

  Tywin Lannister : Do you swear by all the Gods that your testimony will be true and honest?

  Shae : I swear it.

  Tywin Lannister : Do you know this man?

  Shae : Yes. Tyrion Lannister.

  Tywin Lannister : How do you know him?

  Shae : I was handmaiden to his wife Lady Sansa.

  Tywin Lannister : This man stands accused of murdering King Joffrey. What do you know of this?

  Shae : I know that he's guilty.

  [crowd gasps] 

  Shae : He and Sansa planned it together.

  [crowd murmurs] 

  Tywin Lannister : Silence! Continue.

  Shae : She wanted revenge for her father, her mother, her brother. She blamed their deaths on the King. Tyrion was happy to help. He hated Joffrey. He hated the Queen. He hated you, my Lord.

  [crowd exclaims] 

  Shae : He stole poison from the Grand Maester' s chamber to put in Joffrey's wine.

  Oberyn Martell : How could you possibly know all this? Why would he reveal such plans to his wife's maid?

  Shae : I wasn't just her maid. I was his whore.

  [crowd murmurs] 

  Mace Tyrell : I beg your pardon? You were his...?

  Shae : His whore.

  Tywin Lannister : How did you come to be in his service?

  Tywin Lannister : Silence! Silence!

  [laughing stops] 

  Oberyn Martell : He stole me. I was with another man. A knight in your Lordship's army. But when Tyrion arrived at the camp, he sent one of his cutthroats into our tent. He broke the knights arm and brought me to Lord Tyrion. "You belong to me now," he said. "I want you to fuck me like it's my last night in this world."

  [crowd roars with laughter] 

  Oberyn Martell : And did you?

  Shae : Did I what?

  Oberyn Martell : Fuck him like it was his last night in this world?

  Shae : I did everything he wanted. Whatever he told me to do to him. Whatever he felt like doing to me. I kissed him where he wanted. I licked him where he wanted. I let him... . put himself where he wanted. I was his property. I would wait in his chambers for hours so he could use me when he was bored. He ordered me to call him "my lion," so I did. I took his face in my hands and said "I am yours and you are mine."

  [crowd murmurs] 

  Tyrion Lannister : [painful tone]  Shae...

  Tyrion Lannister : [shakes his head]  Please don't.

  Shae : I am a whore. Remember?

  Shae : [addressing the court again]  That was before he met Sansa. After that, all he wanted was her. But she wouldn't let him into her bed. So he promised to kill King Joffrey for her.

  [crowd clamors]
