第一季 02國王大道 The Kings Road
上期回顧: [Winterhell]:
Cersei一個人過來看望Bran,Cat有些受寵若驚,她根本不知道Cersei這個女人的真正用心。(細思極恐,如果Cat剛巧不在房間里呢?Cersei是不是就自己動手解決了Bran?)而Cersei一番感同身受的表達,不過做秀而已,最后一句才是重點: Perhaps this time she'll listen.

Cersei: Please.
Cat:Oh, I would have dressed, your Grace.
Cersei: This is your home. I'm your guest.Handsome one, isn't he? I lost my first boy, a little black-haired beauty. He was a fighter too...tried to beat the fever that took him. Forgive me. It's the last thing you need to hear right now.
Cat:I never knew.
Cersei: It was years ago. Robert was crazed, beat his hands bloody on the wall, all the things men do to show you how much they care. The boy looked just like him. Such a little thing...A bird without feathers. They came to take his body away and Robert held me. I screamed and I battled, but he held me. That little bundle. They took him away and I never saw him again. Never have visited the crypt, never. I pray to the mother every morning and night that she return your child to you.
Cat:I am grateful.
Cersei: Perhaps this time she'll listen.

本期:
Jaime 和 Snow 的一段對話,完全可以看兩個人都不成熟,Jaime雖然擺出長輩的架式以及春風(fēng)得意的樣子 ,顯出 Snow年少無知且初生牛犢不怕虎的尷尬,但事實上,此時的Jaime內(nèi)心空空、玩世不恭,此時的Snow躊躇滿志、前途未卜。

Jaime :A sword for the wall?
Snow:I already have one.
Jaime :Good man. Have you swung it yet?
Snow:Of course I have.
Jaime :At someone, I mean. It`s a strange thing, the first time you cut a man. You realize we`'re nothing but sacks of meat and blood and some bone to keep it all standing. Let me thank you ahead of time for guarding us all from the perils beyond the wall, Wildings and White Walkers and whatnot. We`re grateful to have good, strong men like you protecting us.
Snow:We`re guarded the kingdoms for 8,000 years.
Jaime :Is it "we" already? Have you taken your vows then?
Snow:Soon enough.
Jaime :Give me regards to The Night`s Watch. I`m sure it will be thrilling to serve in such an elite force. And if not? It`s only for life.
