‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 8: The 15 Best Quotes from Episode 2, “A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms”

Game of Thrones is not all about brutal battles and gruesome deaths. At its crux, the phenomenally popular series based on George R.R. Martin’s novel saga, A Song of Ice and Fire, is also known for heartfelt moments, and great conversations between key characters. And that is exactly what you will find in abundance in the HBO show’s latest episode, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.”

Set before the big battle between the living and the undead that will take place in the next episode, the well-scripted episode two sees various characters in Winterfell having scintillating conversations—ranging from deep and profound discussions to humorous chit-chats in front of a cosy fireplace—as they await the impending doom the Night King, and his army are likely to bring.

From Tyrion Lannister’s witty repartees to Bran Stark’s monotonous yet intriguing insights, here are 15 of the most memorable quotes from the latest episode of Games of Thrones.

(Needless to say, SPOILERS AHEAD, if you have yet to see the episode…)
