Tyrion: Father, I wish to confess. I wish to confess. Tywin: You wish to confess? Tyrion [turns to the court spectators]: I saved you. I saved this city and all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all. Tywin: Tyrion– do you wish to confess? Tyrion: Yes, father. I’m guilty. Guilty. Is that what you want to hear? Tywin: You admit you poisoned the king. Tyrion: No — of that i’m innocent. I’m guilty of a far more monstrous crime — I’m guilty of being a dwarf. Tywin: You’re not on trial for being a dwarf. Tyrion: Oh, yes I am. I’ve been on trial for that my entire life. Tywin: Have you nothing to say in your defense? Tyrion: Nothing but this — I did not do it. I did not kill Joffrey but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores. I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it. Tywin: Ser Meryn — escort the prisoner back to his cell. Tyrion: I will not give my life for Joffrey’s murder and know I’ll get no justice here, so I will let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.
