Power is Power - Game of Thrones (Subtitles)

"Power is power."

Cersei Lannister: I heard a song once, about a boy of modest means, found his way in 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 often 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... Do see if you can take away some time from your coins and your whores to locate the Stark girl for me. I would very much appreciate it.

[Shey Morales]

The rains of Castamere ;)

[Augustin Bloemen]

Can anyone help me to write all this speech? I'm not a native speeker and i want to use this fragment in one of my classes. At least help with the last part of it

[Shey Morales]

I added a part of the script to the description. Hope you find it useful. :)

"Turn around, close you eyes... hop on one leg, bark like a dog." Is she would have went there, all her sins would be forgiven in my book.

[Nick Tessier]

Best scene of this episode, and very nearly Littlefingers last XD

[TRicKyDicKy93]

One of my favorite scenes. Cersei's quote reminds me of 1984.

[3SirCrimson3]

As much as I hate Cersei, she always seems to have the best quotes.

[SunDai1985]

One of my top three FAV scenes of all time on this series!

[Edgar Aguirre]

Those Dragons represent power for the one who ones them so power is still power ...

[LadyJay882]

I disagree with all those who claim that Cersi's ultimately letting him go is proved his point that knowledge is power. There is nothing he know that could've saved him from being killed just then and more the "knowledge" he has was the very unpowerful vulnerability that placed his life in jeopardy in the first place. And even short or knowledge if he'd had any common sense, he would've known better than to provoke someone in her position and who just happened to have armed guards nearby

[LadyJay882]

I disagree with all those who claim that Cersi's letting him go at the end somehow proves his point. Clearly If Cersi wanted to she could kill him (bc power is power) and nothing he knows now could have saved him. In fact, the knowledge he has now was the very for his near death experience. How then is his knowledge power when it not only didn't save him but was the reason his life was in jeopardy in the first place?

[YogaforCynics]

She's awesome.

[urbanbehive8]

anonymous are only geeks showing off so they can get contracts with the FBI

[Jolielive]

Good girl.

[penn919]

Although I found that quite enjoyable, I much prefer watching Tyrion Lannister do it. For a king, he sure gets slapped around a lot.
