[TYWIN is sitting at the table alone. Servants stand nearby] TYWIN: Boy. [BOY SERVANT looks up] TYWIN: Call them in. BOY SERVANT: LANNISTERS, ASSEMBLE! YOUR LORD TYWIN CALLS YOU! COME AT ONCE! [various LANNISTERS start filing into the room in various stages of undress. As they do so:] TYWIN: I’ve called you all in here today because we need to discuss something. CERSEI: What, father? JAIME: Yes, tell us. TYWIN: We have a problem.Something that is dragging the name Lannister through the mud. I will not tolerate it any longer. LANCEL: What problem, Uncle? TYWIN: Your collective uncontrollable sex addiction. LANCEL: Sex what? TYWIN: Addiction to sex. Sex addiction. JAIME: That's insane. TYWIN: A sexual addiction to sex. CERSEI: We... we don’t have a – TYWIN: Cersi, your uncontrollable libido is tearing this country
apart. Your affairs alone have started wars, ended dynasties, and brought down great
houses. This behaviour stops now. JAIME: It’s – it’s not an addiction! CERSEI: We can stop any time we want! LANCEL: It’s not as bad as you think! TYWIN: Oh? Really? [TYRION runs into the room] Sorry I’m late, I was having sex TYWIN: Put your hands up if you’ve had sex in the last week. [everyone’s hands go up] TYWIN: Last day. [everyone’s hands stay up] TYWIN: If it was with someone in this room. [LANCEL person puts their hand down] [KEVAN runs in] LANCEL: Goddamnit! [puts hand back up] TYWIN: This is exactly what I mean! [while this is happening, CERSEI is slowly taking off her top] Our family is ridden by perversion, incest and relentless sexcapades. Your torrid affairs have put a false king on the throne, resulted in the War of Five Kings, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the White Walkers were – wait, CERSEI, what are you doing?! CERSEI: Well, you were explaining something slightly confusing, so I thought I’d start taking off my clothing to hold everyone’s attention. TYWIN: This is the problem! I did not dedicate my life to this family's reputation only for you to grind it to the ground. CERSEI: This is just how it’s done! LANCEL: We’re Lannisters! It’s our thing! TYRION: You know what they say – a Lannister always pays his whores. TYWIN: That’s not the family motto! TYRION: Well, I’ve never read it, have I? I was too busy paying, and entering, whores! TYWIN: THAT'S IT! You are done with whores! This kind of behaviour will destroy the family name and fortune. I’d say we’re spending a fortune on contraception, but we aren’t, but that’s its own issue. This stops here. No more sex, with anyone except your spouse, on pain of death. JAIME: What? CERSEI: Oh come ooooon! TYWIN: That’s final. Now get out. All of you. [EVERYONE except TYWIN leaves, grumbling.] [pause] [TYWIN gets up and leaves, he isn’t wearing pants, and five girls run in a line behind him.] |
