Emilia Clarke: Since marrying Khal Drogo, her one aim has been to get back to Westeros.

But, oh bugger, I gotta learn how to rule.

Oh god, we gotta get here first.

Oh f, I might as well rule this city.

Ah, a revolt bugger!

Dammit, now I’ve got to go over there!

She’s got the dragons.

She’s got the manpower.

She’s got the ships thanks to the Iron Born.

So there’s nothing else to do.

She’s got to go now.

And she’s got the confidence now too … She’s got the balls.

And she also knows she’s got to go forward to help Meereen.

She’s got to sit on the Iron Throne for the ripple effect.

She knows she can do rule better than anybody else.

Don’t even suggest that!

You might give them ideas.

Speaking other queens, you have to think Cersei doesn’t stand a chance.

You got dragons, the Unsullied and the Dothraki.

She can barely control anybody around her aside from a gang of street kids.

I mean, yeah.

That’s what I’m saying.

Though we have yet to see [Peter Dinklage] without his clothes on.

The only thing missing is Jorah.

He’s gotta come back.

I said I can’t rule the Seven Kingdoms without him … Because [the writers are] all, “Oh, do you like her?

We’ll kill her!”

Yup, but I just don’t know.

Those rumors have never been substantiated within theGame of Thronescircle.

It’s never been said.

So I don’t know.

I could kill him.

He could kill me.

He could be dead before we even meet.

I could be dead before we even meet.

Arya could kill us both!

All I know is winter is coming … and I’m bringing the heat!
