| First two words of the oath of the Night's Watch: | |
| “Do as they bid you. But in your heart, remember who and what you are. Ride with them, eat with them, fight with them, for as long as it takes. And watch.” | |
| Jon's 'kissed by fire' wildling girl: | |
| Her oft-repeated 'catchphrase': | |
| The King-Beyond-The-Wall: | |
| His wife: | |
| Her sister: | |
| He threatens to bring down the wall with this: | |
| “I have dreamed of your wall, Jon Snow. Great was the lore that raised it, and great the spells locked beneath its ice. We walk beneath one of the hinges of the world.” | |
| Night's Watch First Steward | |
| “The boar can keep his tusks and the bear his claws. There's nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather.” | |
| Name any one of Tormund's nicknames | |
| “Under the sea the crows are white as snow, I know, I know, oh, oh, oh.” | |
| Bonus Section Below | |
| “How often must I tell you no, Jon? We'll speak when I return.” | |
| “You are boys still, green and stinking of summer, and when the winter comes you will die like flies.” | |
| “The Night's Watch is thousands of years old, but I'll wager Lord Snow's the first brother ever honored for burning down the Lord Commander's Tower.” | |
| “I'm fat, not blind. Of course I saw it, it's seven hundred feet high.” | |
| “You're no lordling. Remember that. You're a Snow, not a Stark. You're a bastard and a bully.” | |
| “Your father was no friend of mine, but only a fool would doubt his honor or honesty. You have his look. I know more than you might think, Jon Snow.” | |
| “If you want to look you have to show. You know nothing, Jon Snow.” | |
| “You cannot fight the dead, Jon Snow. No man knows that half so well as me.” | |
| “Sometimes the short road is not the safest, Jon Snow. The Horned Lord once said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt. There is no safe way to grasp it.” | |
| “The grey death sleeps, only to wake again…You know nothing, Jon Snow.” | |
| “For the watch.” | |
| “That's why he's king | |
| and I'm not. | |
| I can outdrink, | |
| outfight, | |
| and outsing him, | |
| and my member's | |
| thrice the size of his, | |
| but Mance | |
| has cunning.” | |
| “I know which end to use.” | |
| “Orell lives inside me now, whispering how much he hates you. And I can soar above the wall, and see with eagle eyes.” | |
| “A bastard, is it? Man wants to bed a woman, seems like he ought to take her to wife. That's what I do.” | |
| One-armed smith: “the true steel” | |
| One-armed smith: “pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends.” | |
| One-armed smith: “copper, bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day.” | |
| “It should have been you.” | |
| “He gives the boys to the gods. Come the white cold, he does, and of late it comes more often.” | |
| “He's not going to die. I know it.” | |
| “They don't care much for that beast o' yours.” | |
| “You may be the Lord Commander's pet but you're not the Lord Commander…and you wouldn't talk so bloody bold without that monster of yours always about.” | |
| “I want me some Crow bones.” | |
| “No wall can keep you safe. A wall is only as strong as the men who defend it.” | |
| “The mark of the beast is on you, bastard…You can stick your order up your bastard's arse.” | |
| “The mountain is your mother. Cling to her, press your face up against her teats, and she won't drop you.” | |
| “Turtles don't have fur.” | |
| “I heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel. He cut his head off trying to shave.” | |
| “We Florents have the blood of the old Gardener kings in our veins.” | |
| “Snow!” | |
| “Old!” | |
| “Kill!” | |
| “Dead. Dead dead dead.” | |
| “Afterward some bard will make a stirring song about you, no doubt, and we shall have a more prudent lord commander.” | |
| “You and I are here, still living. Is there blood feud between us, Lord Snow?” | |
| “Eat now, Wun Wun?” | |
| “His heart may still be black.” | |
| “That's a long cruel climb by night.” | |
| “One shout when we need silence, and every man of us is doomed.” | |
| “Tell me, Lord Commander, should the Others turn up, do you plan to offer hsopitality to them as well?” | |
| “Can I have his boots?” | |
| “My lord jests. You will forgive me if I do not laugh. We Braavosi…we do not jape of dragons.” | |
| “I want my bride back. I want the false king's queen. I want his daughter and his red witch. I want his wildling princess. I want his little prince...And I want my Reek.” | |
| “A man who bears Valyrian steel should use it for more than scratching his arse.” | |
| Yes, this is actually a character. | |
| This, too, is actually a character. | |
| In their most significant exchange, Bran is comatose. | |
| The Wall defends itself. | |
| Continues to be displeased with Jon despite being dead several times over. | |
| His best quotes are probably in Giantspeak. | |
| (quietly sobs) | |
| The Watch takes no part in such story lines. | |
| He would have a quote, but he seems to be choking on something.. | |
| You can always tell a Milford man. | |
| “Hodor.” | |
| “The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints—the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do…” | |
| We hope the Night's Watch isn't still waiting up for him. | |
| “A boy has more courage than sense.” | |
| He's described as bold and 'rough of speech'. At some point we hope to see him and hear him. | |
| He can't hear you. | |
| ”The Watch had 996 Lords Commander before Mormont, most of them men of courage and honor…but we have had cowards and fools as well, our tyrants and our madmen.” | |
| He'll be wanting his sword back, maybe. | |
| All of the good 'hand'-related nicknames were already taken. | |
| Like Jon, they also know what it's like to meet Catelyn Stark on one of her bad days. | |
| Still more qualified to cook than Three Finger Hobb. | |
| “There's much to be said for a good sharp axe. I'd hate to be murdered with a maul.” | |
| “Never trust a cook, my lord. They'll prune you when you least expect it.” | |
| “Fire is life up here. But it can be death as well.” | |
| “The lightning lord is everywhere and nowhere.” | |
| Jon and Cersei don't correspond. They're both too busy screwing up at their jobs. | |
| No, but the whole 'You know nothing' catchphrase sounds like something he would say. | |
| L + R = J? | |
