50 Best Jorah Mormont Quotes

Daario: Isn't it frustrating wanting someone who doesn't want you back?
Jorah: Of course it is.

Jorah: For a man on horseback, the curved blade is a good thing, easier to handle. It's a good weapon for a Dothrakan. But a man in full plate...
[in Dothraki]
Jorah: Shori tawakof,
[switching back to English]
Jorah: the arakh won't get through the steel. That's where the broadsword has the advantage. Designed for piercing plate.
Rakharo: [in Dothraki] Dothraki don't wear steel dresses.
Jorah: Armor.
Rakharo: Armor. Armor make a man, um... vroz?
Jorah: Slow.
Rakharo: Slow.
Jorah: It's true, but it also keeps a man alive.
Rakharo: [switching to Dothraki] My father taught me how to fight. He taught me that speed defeats size.
Jorah: [switching languages] I've heard that your father was a famous warrior.
Rakharo: He was bloodrider to Khal Bharbo. And your father, Jorah the Andal? He was a warrior also?
Jorah: [in English] He still is. A man of great honor, and I betrayed him.

Ser: The common people pray for rain, health, and a summer that never ends. They don't care what games the high lords play.
Daenerys: What do you pray for, Ser Jorah?
Ser: Home.

[armed guards confront Daenerys and her followers]
Daenerys: [softly] I thought we were welcome.
Jorah: If you heard a Dothraki horde was approaching your city, you might do the same, Khaleesi.
Daenerys: [looks back at her depleted tribe] Horde?

- becomes the ruler of Westeros?
- That's justice?
Jorah: She's the rightful heir.
- Why?
- Because her father, who burned living men for amusement, was the king?
- That's a slave ship.
- Why are they anchored?
- They probably came ashore for...
- Man: Water.

Jorah: In the shadow lands beyond asshai, they say there are fields of ghost grass with stalks as pale as milk that glow in the night.
- It murders all other grass.
- The Dothraki believe that one day it will cover everything - that's the way the world will end.

Daario: There. It's a back gate. My men use it when they visit Yunkai's bed slaves.
Jorah: Your men, but not you?
Daario: I have no interest in slaves. A man cannot make love to property.
[Daenerys gives Daario a sidelong glance]
Daario: This is where we enter the city. Very few guards. They know me. They let me inside...
Barristan: We're not going to sneak an army through a back gate.
Daario: I kill the guards. I take your two best men and lead them through the back streets, which I know well, and open the front gates. Then comes the army. Once the walls are breached, the city will fall in hours.
Jorah: Or perhaps you'll lead Grey Worm and me to the slaughter, cutting the head off our army. The masters of Yunkai will pay you your fee and you won't have to split it three ways 'cause you've already slaughtered your partners.
Daario: You have a very suspicious mind. In my experience, only dishonest people think this way.

Jorah: King Joffrey Baratheon is dead. Murdered at his own wedding.
Barristan: And we have taken the Meereenese navy, Your Grace.
Daario: The Second Sons took the Meereenese navy.
Daenerys: [sharply] Who told you to take the navy?
Daario: No one.
Daenerys: So why did you do it?
Daario: [casually] I heard you liked ships.
Daenerys: How many ships?
Barristan: 93, Your Grace.
Daenerys: How many men can they carry?
Barristan: 9,300, not counting sailors.
Daenerys: Would that be enough to take King's Landing?
Jorah: The Lannisters have more.

- Khaleesi!
- Khaleesi!
Jorah: Khaleesi!
- Are you trying to frighten me with magic tricks?
- You want me? Here I am.
- Are you afraid of a little girl?

Jorah: Khaleesi.
- Come.
- He's very strong.
- No one understands how strong he is.

Viserys: What does Ned Stark want you for? Buying from a slaver?
Jorah: Selling to one. Some poachers I caught on my land.
Viserys: Under my reign, you won't be punished for such nonsense. You can rest assured of that.

Daenerys: Are they attacking?
Jorah: A single rider.
- A champion of meereen.
- They want you to send your own champion against him.

Ser: Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly. And Rhaegar died.

Jorah: That's what you call a few guards?
- Come on! What do you got, huh?

Ser: Have you ever seen a war where innocents didn't die by the thousands? I was in King's Landing during the sack, Khaleesi. You know what I saw? Butchery. Babies, children, old men. More women raped than you can count. There's a beast in every man, and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand.

Daenerys: [as a wedding present, Drogo gives her a white horse] She's beautiful. Ser Jorah, I... I don't know how to say "thank you" in Dothraki.
Jorah: There is no word for "thank you" in Dothraki.

Tyrion: The Smoking Sea. How many centuries before we learn how to build cities like this again? Thousands of years the Valyrians were the best in the world at almost everything. And then...
Jorah: And then they weren't.
Tyrion: And then they weren't. "They held each other close and turned their backs upon the end. The hills that split asunder and the black that ate the skies; The flames that shot so high and hot that even dragons burned; Would never be the final sights that fell upon their eyes. A fly upon a wall, the waves the sea wind whipped and churned -"
Jorah: "The city of a thousand years, and all that men had learned; The Doom consumed it all alike, and neither of them turned."
Tyrion: I would clap.

Daario: Oh! I don't want to fight you, Jorah the Andal. What do I have to gain? If I win, I'm the shit who killed an old man. If I lose, I'm the shit who was killed by an old man.
Jorah: You didn't get much discipline as a child, did you?
Daario: None.

Ser: [to Daenerys] You have a good claim: a title, a birthright. But you have something more than that: you may cover it up and deny it, but you have a gentle heart. You would not only be respected and feared, you would be loved. Someone who can rule and should rule. Centuries come and go without a person like that coming into the world. There are times when I look at you, and I still can't believe you're real.

Viserys: Khal Drogo! I'm here for the feast!
[Khal Drogo speaks Dothraki, points to the door]
Jorah: Khal Drogo says, "There is a place for you - back there".
Viserys: That is no place for a king!
Khal: [in English] You are no "king".

[at the arena, Jorah Mormont appears before Daenerys. She is not pleased to see him]
Daenerys: [to the guards] Get him out of my sight.
Jorah: Khaleesi, please, I just need a moment of your time. I brought you a gift.
[as the guards start dragging Jorah away, Tyrion steps into the arena]
Tyrion: It's true. He has.
Daenerys: Who are you?
Tyrion: I'm the gift. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Grace. My name is Tyrion Lannister.
[Daenerys gapes at Tyrion]

[last lines]
Daenerys: I owe you my life, ser.
Barristan: The honor is mine, my queen.
Daenerys: [to Jorah] You know this man?
Jorah: I know him as one of the greatest fighters the Seven Kingdoms has ever seen and as the Lord Commander of Robert Baratheon's Kingsguard.
Barristan: King Robert is dead. I have been searching for you, Daenerys Stormborn, to ask your forgiveness. I was sworn to protect your family. I failed them. I am Barristan Selmy, Kingsguard to your father. Allow me to join your Queensguard and I will not fail you again.

[Tyrion is urinating off of a balcony. Someone comes up behind him]
Tyrion: No need to worry. I was just...
[Tyrion turns around and it reveals to be Jorah Mormont]
Tyrion: Oh, thought you were someone else. Show's almost over. I'm sure there are girls inside who'd be happy to oblige.
[Jorah starts tying Tyrion up]
Tyrion: You've made some kind of mistake. Why don't you tell me what you think you're doing, and then...
[Jorah puts a gag in Tyrion's mouth]
Jorah: I'm taking you to the queen.
[Jorah takes Tyrion away]

Jorah: [after having met up with Daario who was on his way out] Khaleesi.
Daenerys: You're here early.
Jorah: Later than some.
Daenerys: You don't approve?
Jorah: It's not a question of approval, It's a question of trust.
Daenerys: You neither approve nor trust.
Jorah: Why would I? The man's a sellsword.
Daenerys: Didn't you fight for the Golden Company before pledging your sword to my brother?
Jorah: I did.
Daenerys: I trust you.
Jorah: Daario Naharis killed his captains and dumped their heads at your feet when he grew tired of their commands. How could you ever have faith in a man like that?
Daenerys: I could never have faith in a man like Daario. That's why I sent him and the Second Sons to retake Yunkai.
Jorah: You have?
Daenerys: I have.
Jorah: Without you to rule there, Khaleesi, I fear the Masters will simply bide their time, wait for the invaders to leave, and reassert control.
Daenerys: That is why I ordered Daario to execute every Master in Yunkai.
[sees: ]
Daenerys: The Masters tear babies from their mothers' arms. They mutilate little boys by the thousands. They train little girls in the art of pleasuring old men. They treat men like beasts, as you said yourself.
Jorah: Herding the Masters into pens and slaughtering them by the thousands is also treating men like beasts. The slaves you freed, brutality is all they've ever known. If you want them to know something else, you'll have to show it to them.
Daenerys: [with folded arms] And repay the slavers with what? Kindness? A fine? A stern warning?
[nods petulantly]
Jorah: It's tempting to see your enemies as evil, all of them, but there's good and evil on both sides in every war ever fought.
Daenerys: Let the priests argue over good and evil. Slavery is real. I can end it. I will end it, and I will end those behind it.
Jorah: I sold men into slavery, Khaleesi.
Daenerys: And now... you are helping me show them to freedom.
Jorah: I wouldn't be here to help you if Ned Stark had done to me what you want to do to the Masters of Yunkai.
Daenerys: [reconsider, has change of heart] The man who came to me the other day about burying his father...
Jorah: Hizdahr zo Loraq?
Daenerys: He will accompany the Second Sons and serve as my ambassador to Yunkai. He will tell the Masters what has happened in Meereen. He will explain the choice they have before them. They can live in my new world or they can die in their old one. Well, go and catch Daario before you leave. Tell him I changed my mind.
Jorah: [wearily] Yes, Khaleesi.
[goes off]
Daenerys: No.
[Jorah stops, looks back]
Daenerys: Tell him you changed my mind.

[Viserys is about to sneak off with the dragon eggs. Jorah bars his way]
Jorah: They don't belong to you.
Viserys: Whatever is hers, is also mine.
Jorah: Once, perhaps.
Viserys: If I sell one egg, I'll have enough to buy a ship. Two eggs - a ship and an army.
Jorah: And you have all three.
Viserys: I need a large army!

Tyrion: You're an awful traveling companion, do you know that? Possibly the least charming man I've ever met.
Jorah: I'm not your traveling companion.
Tyrion: We are traveling together, in each other's company, therefore...
Jorah: [interrupts] Do you ever shut up?
Tyrion: I sailed from King's Landing to Pentos in a crate without ever saying a word!
Jorah: Why?
Tyrion: It never occured to you to ask why until now? You never wondered why Tyrion Lannister decided to visit a brothel in Volantis?
Jorah: I'm sure you've visited many brothels in many cities.
Tyrion: I killed my father. He wanted to execute me for a crime I didn't commit. And he was fucking the woman I loved.

Jorah: [no sign of Jon after he disappeared below the ice] We should go, Your Grace.
Daenerys: A bit longer.

Beric: Here we all are... at the edge of the world, at the same moment, heading in the same direction for the same reason.
Davos: Our reasons aren't your reasons.
Beric: It doesn't matter what we think our reasons are. There's a greater purpose at work. And we serve it together, whether we know it or not. We may take the steps, but the Lord of Light...
Sandor: For fuck's sake, will you shut your hole?
Sandor: [to Jon] Are we coming with you or not?
Jorah: Don't you want to know what we're doing?
Thoros: Is it worse than sitting in a freezing cell, waiting to die?
Jon: He's right. We're all on the same side.
Gendry: How can we be?
Jon: We're all breathing.

- He won the tournament at lannisport, unseating ser Jaime Lannister himself.
- The kingslayer.
- Jousting. You're talking aboutjousting.
- A fancy game for fancy lads.
- The men who fight in the pits of meereen will swallow him whole.
Jorah: I killed a Dothraki bloodrider in single combat.

Ser: Khaleesi, a dragon is worth more than any army. Aegon Targaryen proved that.
Daenerys: You're both here to advise me. I value your advice, but if you ever question me in front of strangers again, you'll be advising someone else. Is that understood?

[Daenerys and her followers were invited to stay over in Qarth]
Daenerys: What do you know of this place?
Jorah: Only that the desert outside their walls is called the Garden of Bones. Every time the Qartheen shut their gates on a traveler, the garden grows.

Ser: I believe what my eyes and ears report. As for the rest, it was 300 years ago. Who knows what really happened?

Daario: Huh, an army?
Jorah: Not an army.
- A horde.
- Dothraki?
- They have her.

Daenerys: And you're sure there's no other way?
Ser: If we go south to the land of the Lhazareen, the Lamb Men will kill us and take your dragons. If we go west to the Dothraki Sea the first khalasar we meet will kill us and take your dragons.
Daenerys: No one will take my dragons.

Irri: [conversing in Dothraki] The Khaleesi wants to eat something different tonight. Kill some rabbits.
Rakharo: There are no rabbits.
Irri: Find some ducks. She likes ducks.
Rakharo: Have you seen any ducks, woman? No rabbits, no ducks. Do you have eyes in your head? Do you?
Irri: Dog, then. I have seen many dogs.
Jorah: [in English] I don't think she wants to eat dog.

Ser: [as they approach on horseback] Vaes Dothrak. City of the horse-lords.
Viserys: [contemptuously] A pile of mud. Mud, shit and twigs. The best these savages can do.
Daenerys: These are my people now. You shouldn't call them savages.
Viserys: I'll call them what I like, because they're my people. This is my army. Khal Drogo is marching the wrong way with my army.

Daenerys: [learns that Jorah has greyscale] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Jorah: Don't be. All I've ever wanted was to serve you. Tyrion Lannister was right. I love you. I'll always love you. Goodbye, Khaleesi.
[walks away because he has to]
Daenerys: Do not walk away from me, Jorah the Andal. You have not been dismissed. You pledged yourself to me.
[nods]
Daenerys: You swore to obey my commands for the rest of your life.
[Jorah looks down, acknowledging this]
Daenerys: Well, I command you to find the cure... wherever it is in this world.
[tearfully: ]
Daenerys: I command you to heal yourself... and then return to me. When I take the Seven Kingdoms, I need you by my side.
[he nods]

Jorah: Careful, Khaleesi. Xaro owns this city and the warlocks have a thousand eyes watching for you... I found one. A ship with a good captain. She leaves for Astapor tomorrow.
Daenerys: Astapor?
Jorah: We cannot stay here.
Daenerys: They have my dragons. A mother does not flee without her children.
Jorah: They're not your children. I know they call you the Mother of Dragons and I know you love them, but you didn't grow them in your womb, they didn't suckle at your breasts. They are dragons, Khaleesi, and if we stay in Qarth we'll die.
Daenerys: You should sail to Astapor, I'm sure you'll be safe there.
Jorah: You know I would die for you. I will never abandon you. I'm sworn to protect you, to serve.
Daenerys: Then serve me! If my dragons are in the House of the Undying, then take me there.
Jorah: That's what the warlock wants, he told you so himself. If you enter that place, you will never leave again. His magic is strong.
Daenerys: And what of my magic? You saw me step into the fire, you watched the witch burn. What did the flames do to me, do you remember?
Jorah: Until my last breath, I will remember. After I have forgotten my mother's face...
Daenerys: They are my children. And they are the only children I will ever have... Take me to them.

Daenerys: How can I rule seven kingdoms if I can't control Slaver's Bay? Why should anyone trust me? Why should anyone follow me?
Jorah: You're a Targaryen. You're the Mother of Dragons.
Daenerys: I need to be more than that. I will not let those I have freed slide back into chains. I will not sail for Westerns.
Jorah: What, then?
Daenerys: I will do what queens do. I will rule.

Daenerys: If my brother was given an army of Dothraki, could he capture the Seven Kingdoms?
Ser: The Dothraki have never crossed the narrow sea. They fear any water their horses can't drink.
Daenerys: But if they did?
Ser: King Robert is fool enough to meet them in open battle. But the men advising him are different.
Daenerys: And you know these men?
Ser: I've fought beside them once. Long ago. But now Ned Stark wants my head. He drove me from my land.
Daenerys: You sold slaves.
Ser: Aye.
Daenerys: Why?
Ser: I had no money, and an expensive wife.
Daenerys: Where is she now?
Ser: In another place. With another man.

- If you wouldn't mind, bite down hard.
- I'm sorry, but no one knows I'm here, and if they hear you screaming, then we're both finished.
Jorah: Have you ever done this before?

Irri: The Khaleesi have baby inside her. It is true. She does not bleed for two moons. Her belly start to swell.
Rakharo: [in Dothraki] A blessing from the Great Stallion.
Irri: [in English] She does not want to eat horse.
Jorah: I'll have the boys butcher a goat for supper.
[Irri leaves]
Jorah: I need to ride to Qohor.
Rakharo: Uh, we ride for Vaes Dothrak.
Jorah: Don't worry. I'll catch you. The horde's easy to find.

Ser: No one can survive in this world without help.

Jorah: They are dragons, Khaleesi. They cannot be tamed, not even by their mother.

Daenerys: Remind me, Ser Jorah, how many children did the Great Masters nail to the mile-posts?
Jorah: One hundred sixty-three, Khaleesi.
Daenerys: Yes, that was it.
Barristan: [as the vanquished Masters are led to mile-posts] Your Grace, may I have a word?
[she knows what's coming, but grants him this]
Barristan: The city is yours. All these people, they're your subjects now. Sometimes it is better to answer injustice with mercy.
Daenerys: I will answer injustice with justice.
[steadfast]

Jorah: [to Daenerys] You need to drink, child. And eat.
[Jorah hands Daenerys a piece of dried meat]
Daenerys: Isn't there anything else?
Jorah: The Dothraki have two things in abundance: grass and horses. People can't live on grass.
[Daenerys finds the taste of dried horse meat repulsive]

Daenerys: [re the tribe travelling on string of horses] Tell them all to stop.
Jorah: You want the entire horde to stop? For how long?
Daenerys: [dismounts confidently] Until I command them otherwise.
Jorah: You're beginning to talk like a Queen.
Daenerys: Not a Queen. A Khaleesi.

Daenerys: [the loutish Champion of Meereen is giving a display of open contempt] What is he doing?
Barristan: Oh, he means to...
[the barbarian urinates in defiance, the crowd laughs and cheers]
Missandei: [translates] He says that we're an army of men without... man parts.
[with: ]
Missandei: He claims that you are not a woman at all, but a man who... hides his cock in his own arsehole.
Barristan: Ignore him, Your Grace, these are meaningless words.
Jorah: Not meaningless if half the city you intend to take is listening to them.
Daenerys: [as the lout continues his tirade] I have something to say to the people of Meereen. In fact, I will need this one to be quiet. Do I have a Champion?

Jorah: Vaes dothrak - the city of the horselords.
- A pile of mud.
- Mud and shit and twigs.
- Best these savages can do.
- These are my people now.
- You shouldn't call them savages.
- I'll call them what I like, because they're my people.
- This is my army.
- Khal drogo is marching the wrong way with my army.

Jorah: We're still not far from Pentos, Your Grace. Magister Illyrio has extended his hospitality. You'd be more comfortable there.
Viserys: I have no interest in hospitality or comfort. I'll stay with Drogo until he fulfills his end of the bargain and I have my crown.
Jorah: As you wish, Your Grace.
Viserys: Well, Mormont, as brutish as this life is, I suppose it is preferable to beheading.
