Quotes 

• Cersei Lannister : Tears aren't a woman's only weapon. The best one's between your legs.

• Cersei Lannister : Sansa? Come here, little dove.

  Sansa Stark : My queen.

  Cersei Lannister : What are you doing?

  Sansa Stark : Praying.

  Cersei Lannister : You're perfect, aren't you? Praying? What are you praying for?

  Sansa Stark : For the gods to have mercy on us all.

  Cersei Lannister : Oh? On all of us?

  Sansa Stark : Yes, Your Grace.

  Cersei Lannister : Even me?

  Sansa Stark : Of course, Your Grace.

  Cersei Lannister : Even Joffrey?

  Sansa Stark : Joffrey is my...

  Cersei Lannister : Oh, shut up, you little fool. Praying for the gods to have mercy on us all? The gods have no mercy, that's why they are gods. My father told me that when he caught me praying. My mother had just died, you see. I didn't really understand the concept of death. The finality of it. I thought if I prayed very very hard, the gods would return her to me. I was four.

  Sansa Stark : Your father doesn't believe in the gods?

  Cersei Lannister : He believes in them, he just doesn't like them very much.

• Cersei Lannister : [to Sansa]  Do you have any notion of what happens when a city is sacked? No, you wouldn't, would you? If the city falls, these fine women should be in for a bit of a rape. Half of them will have bastards in their bellies come the morning. You'll be glad of your red flower then. When a man's blood is up, anything with tits looks good. A precious thing like you will look very, very good. A slice of cake just waiting to be eaten.

• Cersei Lannister : [slightly drunk]  When we were young, Jaime and I, we were so much alike, even our father couldn't tell us apart. I could never understand why they treated us differently. Jaime was taught to fight with sword and lance and mace, and I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, and I was sold to some stranger like a horse to be ridden whenever he desired.

  Sansa Stark : You were Robert's Queen.

  Cersei Lannister : And you will be Joffrey's. Enjoy.

• Sansa Stark : [about Cersei]  I don't know why she sent for me. She hates me.

  Shae : Maybe she hates you less than she hates everyone else.

  Sansa Stark : I doubt it.

  Shae : Maybe she's jealous of you.

  Sansa Stark : Why should she be jealous?

  Cersei Lannister : Sansa.

  [Sansa approaches Cersei] 

  Cersei Lannister : I was wondering where our little dove had flown. You look pale, child. Is your red flower still blooming?

  Sansa Stark : Yes.

  Cersei Lannister : Fitting, isn't it? The men will bleed out there, and you will bleed in here. Pour Lady Sansa some wine.

  Sansa Stark : I'm not thirsty, Your Grace.

  Cersei Lannister : So? I didn't offer you water.
