Movie quotes

  • (..) I assure you she's still a virgin. Tyrion never consumated the marriage. By the law of the land, she's no man's wife. Inspect her, if you must. I leave that to the brothel keeper. It's her name I need, not her virtue. I have delivered everything I've promised. And you prepared for the consequences. (..)
