FADE IN: INT. DAY

CERSEI LANNISTER Lord Baelish LORD BAELISH Your grace I wonder if I might ask you for a favor LORD BAELISH Of course your grace CERSEI LANNISTER Ned Starck ’s youngest daughter Arya... we can’t seem to locate her LORD BAELISH If she’s escaped the capital Winterfell seems the logical destination CERSEI LANNISTER And yet my friends in the North report no sign of her LORD BAELISH Curious CERSEI LANNISTER Who choose to negotiate for the Starks the girl has some value… whoever finds her well you know what they say ‘bout Lannisters and debts LORD BAELISH Well you could ask where she is… he’ll have an answer for you whether you believe it... myself I have always had hard time trusting eunuchs… who knows what they want CERSEI LANNISTER A mockingbird… You created your own sigil didn’t you? LORD BAELISH Yes CERSEI LANNISTER Appropiate for a self-made man with so many songs to sing LORD BAELISH I’m glad you like it... some people are fortunate enough to be born into the right family… others have to find their own way CERSEI LANNISTER I heard a song once about a boy of modest means… found his way into the home of a very prominent family… he loved the eldest daughter... sadly, she had eyes for another LORD BAELISH When boys and girls live in the same home awkward situations can arise… sometimes I’ve heard even brothers and sisters develop certain affections and when those affections become common knowledge… well, that is an awkward situation, indeed, especially in a prominent family. Prominent families forget a simple truth I found CERSEI LANNISTER And which truth is that? LORD BAELISH Knowledge is power CERSEI LANNISTER Seize him Cut his throat Stop… oh wait I’ve changed my mind… let him go Step back three paces Turn around Close your eyes Power is power You see it if you take some time away from your coins and your whores to locate the Stark girl for me I will very much appreciated
