Tyrion asks Tywin for Casterly Rock

Tyrion and Tywin scene, S03E01

[ArcViper]

"You who killed your mother to come into the world."

The evil in that sentence can't be overstated.

[kofeeable]

Tyrion made me realize, no matter how hard you work or how effective your solutions to problems are, it all boils down to if your boss likes you.

[WebDevelopmentExploration]

It's ironic as Tywin was obsessed with family legacy and the bloodline moving on but the only way the bloodline moves on now is through Tyrion, who he hated the most

[gp]

Straight from the book. Charles and Peter absolutely killed this scene

[JiggaMan]

This was Tywin’s only weakness, his hatred for his son. It ended up killing him.

[TESkyrimizer]

Thinking: "The worst thing that can happen is that she says no."
Reality:

[sanjeevurao]

This conversation alone is greater than the entire season 8 script.

[JordanR]

3:37 - 4:35 has got to be one of the most brutal and cruel sets of lines ever spoken on screen; you barely have time to breathe or process before he delivers the next insult. There's not even a hint of comedic relief to find here, just pure and uninterrupted verbal annihilation, and so beautifully delivered by Charles Dance.

[MrOberon]

That was the most cruel, cold-hearted and sadistic statement to throw into the face of your own son. Completely barren of all emotions, but resentment.

[StevemanChair]

“You are an ill made spiteful little creature, full of envy, lust and low cunning”

That’s pretty much Cersei though

[tizianotrasmondo]

Fun fact: Charles Dance was so appalled by Tywin's treatment towards Tyrion that he kept apologizing to Peter Dinklage, between takes, for all the horrible things he told him while acting.

[BlacKk]

"Hey dad can I have the massive castle?"

- "No"

[beastiebear]

If you want a great cold 'villian', cast an old English theatre veteran

[jeremyterkelsen]

I love how Tyrion turns away from his father during his last remark. Such a subtle human moment.

[saturn]

2:52 Love the way Tywin swallows his rage, offers Tyrion a diplomatic compromise, then lashes out at him. Says so much about their relationship. Even the way the shots are framed in this scene makes it seem like both characters are staring into a warped mirror, each seeing in the other parts of themselves which they despise.

[lanceleader]

If I were Tyrion I’d have cried my eyes out man. Tywin’s words were VISCIOUS.

[tastycattoast]

The way Tyrion asks “why?” is just genius acting. Feels like, as well as genuinely asking why, he’s questioning why his father is so relentlessly cruel and disrespectful to him, not just in this instance but his throughout his entire life

[StDavis-thrm]

Tywin was a smart man - one of the smartest in all Westeros. Unfortunately, he couldn't get past his hate and shame for Tyrion, even when he recognized how capable Tyrion was. As a real team, they would have been virtually unstoppable.

[FJX]

Even as grown adults, the fear they all have for their father is so relatable and so apparent.

[kawima]

Gods, the dialogues were strong then.
