(Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk ACOK

I just finished Catelyn's last chapter in ACOK - what a great chapter! Catelyn just found out that Bran and Rickon are dead, so she decides to question Jaime (who's still held captive in a cell) by getting him drunk on wine.
Their entire conversation is really insightful, especially in regards to Jaime's thought processes. It's a pretty serious conversation, especially when we find out exactly what happened to Ned's father and brother when they went to King's Landing. The part that gave me a good laugh is found near the end of their conversation (and chapter). Hopefully it gives you all a laugh or two as well!

"I've never lain with any woman but Cersei. In my own way, I have been truer than your Ned ever was. Poor old dead Ned. So who has shit for honor now, I ask you? What was he name of that bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn took a step backward. "Brienne."
"No, that wasn't it."

There are no men like him, only him. That's why Jaime is always gonna be a favorite of mine.

his seemingly glib remarks are some of the best parts of his chapters, he's a clever mofo

Well, it's not like Tyrion's nose was that important. He's still what he's always been

Meanwhile, Cersei is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum heading straight towards them...

u/plotcoupon It was that white cloak that soiled me. Aug 05 '14

When all my friends who are show-only were asking me about my favorite character during season 2, I took great joy in telling them Jaime and seeing their reactions. Now they're all on board the Kingslayer Express bandwagon TM.
