KING'S LANDING 

Cersei gets out of a cart to a funeral procession outside of the Great Sept of Baelor. She walks to the top of the stairs.

PRIEST: "Your grace, we are honored by your presence. The mourners are waiting."

CERSEI: "They will keep waiting. I want a moment alone with him."

PRIEST: "But your grace, many of these lords and ladies have travelled day and night to be here..."

Cersei starts walking away.

PRIEST: "From all seven kingdoms..."

CERSEI: "They will wait."

GREAT SEPT OF BAELOR

Tywin's body rests with hand-painted stones on top of his eyes. Jaime presides over the body. Cersei walks next to him.

CERSEI: "He never wanted you to be a King's Guard, but here you are, protecting his dead body."

JAIME: "What he built. The towers. He built it for us. He meant it for us. They're going to try to take it away, all of it."

CERSEI: "They?"

JAIME: "All of them out there are enemies. They're waiting a night to make sure he's really dead and as soon as they see the stones on his eyes, they'll set to work on tearing us apart."

CERSEI: "They had nothing to do with it. The man who murdered our father, he tore us apart, he's the enemy. I've been telling you for years, you've been defending him for years..."

JAIME: "This is exactly what they want."

CERSEI: "...and now our father is dead. And that little monster is out there somewhere drawing breath. Did you set him free?"

No response from Jaime.

CERSEI: "Tyrion may be a monster but at least he killed our father on purpose. You killed him by mistake. With stupidity. You're a man of action, aren't you? When it occurs to you to do something you do it, never mind the consequences. Take a look. (gestures towards Tywin) Look at the consequences. Here they are. He loved you more than anyone in this world."
