Quotes 

• Robert Baratheon : [about Lyanna]  She should be on a hill somewhere with the sun and the clouds above her.

  Eddard Stark : She was my sister. This is where she belongs.

  Robert Baratheon : She belonged with me.

• Robert Baratheon : I need you, Ned, down at King's Landing, not up here where you're no damn use to anybody. Lord Eddard Stark, I would name you the Hand of the King.

  Eddard Stark : [kneeling]  I'm not worthy of the honor.

  Robert Baratheon : I'm not trying to honor you. I'm trying to get you to run my kingdom while I eat, drink, and whore my way to an early grave. Damn it, Ned, stand up.

  [he does] 

  Robert Baratheon : You helped me win the Iron Throne, now help me keep the damn thing. We were meant to rule together. If your sister had lived, we'd have been bound by blood. Well, it's not too late. I have a son, you have a daughter. We'll join our houses.

• Eddard Stark : It's done, Your Grace. The Targaryens are gone.

  Robert Baratheon : Not all of them.

• Eddard Stark : Tell me about Jon Arryn.

  Robert Baratheon : One minute he was fine and then... burned right through him, whatever it was. I loved that man.

  Eddard Stark : We both did.

  Robert Baratheon : He never had to teach you much, but me? You remember me at 16? All I wanted to do was crack skulls and fuck girls. He showed me what was what.

  Eddard Stark : Aye.

  Robert Baratheon : Don't look at me like that. It's not his fault I didn't listen.

• Robert Baratheon : Are you as good with a spear as you used to be?

  Eddard Stark : No, but I'm still better than you.

  Robert Baratheon : [laughing]  I know what I'm putting you through. Thank you for saying yes. I only ask you because I need you. You're a loyal friend. You hear me? A loyal friend. The last one I've got.

  Eddard Stark : I hope I'll serve you well.

  Robert Baratheon : You will. And I'll make sure you don't look so fucking grim all the time.
