Season 1

• "What is it?" Ser Waymar Royce
• "It's..." Gared
• "I know I broke my oath. And I know I’m a deserter. I should have gone back to the Wall and warned them. But I saw what I saw. I saw the White Walkers. People need to know. If you can get word to my family, tell them I'm no coward. Tell them I'm sorry. Forgive me, Lord." Will

Let the High Septon and Baelor the Blessed bear witness to what I say. Joffrey Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne, and by the grace of all the Gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm." Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark ^note Those are his last audible words. He speaks an unheard prayer under his breath as the sword comes down on his head.

• "No." Pyp
• "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
