Across The Narrow Sea

Daenerys is observing Drogo and his people while riding a horse.

Jorah Mormont: You need to drink, child... And eat.

Daenerys Targaryen: Isn't there anything else?

Jorah Mormont: The Dothraki have two things in abundance: grass and horses. People can't live on grass... 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... It'll get easier.

Arriving at camp, Daenerys looks exhausted from riding.

Doreah: Khaleesi!

Irri: Your hands.

After Daenerys is escorted away, Jorah and Viserys are alone.

Jorah Mormont: We're still not far from Pentos, your Grace. Magister Illyrio has extended his hospitality. You'd be more comfortable there.

Viserys Targaryen: I have no interest in hospitality or comfort. I'll stay with Drogo until he fulfils his end of the bargain and I have my crown.

Jorah Mormont: As you wish, your Grace.

Viserys Targaryen: Well, Mormont, as brutish as this life is, I suppose it is preferable to beheading. What did Ned Stark want you for? Buying from a slaver?                                                  

Jorah Mormont: Selling to one... Some poachers I caught on my land.                                        

 Viserys Targaryen: Under my reign, you won't be punished for such nonsense. You can rest assured of that.

Winterfell

Tyrion was discovered by Joffrey dozing off in the Winterfell dog pen.

Joffrey Baratheon: Better-looking bitches than you're used to, Uncle. My mother's been looking for you. We ride for King's Landing today.

Tyrion Lannister: Before you go, you will call on Lord and Lady Stark and offer your sympathies.

Joffrey Baratheon: What good will my sympathies do them?

Tyrion Lannister: None. But it is expected of you. Your absence has already been noted.

Joffrey Baratheon: The boy means nothing to me. And I can't stand the wailing of women.

Tyrion Lannister: One word and I'll hit you again.
