"What's the meaning of this?" It's Tyrion, striding down the middle of the throne room. He would like to know what kind of knight beats a helpless girl. The answer: "The kind who serves his king, Imp." Bronn advises care: "We don't wanna get blood all over your pretty white cloak." I enjoy the way Bronn looks down at the random courtly clothing the knight is wearing. It's a lot like the way Stannis made fun of Theon's outfit when he first got to Pyke. Tyrion lectures Joffrey about not punishing his future queen for someone else's crime: "She did not fight her brother's battle, you halfwit." Joffrey doesn't like that: "The king can do as he likes!" I guess he was brought up to believe that. Tyrion says that's what the Mad King thought and look what happened to him. Perhaps, suggests Tyrion, Joffrey's "uncle" Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, could help enlighten him. The knight makes to pull his sword and says that no one threatens the king in the presence of the Kingsguard. Tyrion claims he was just educating his nephew. Then he tells Bronn to kill the knight the next time he speaks. "That was a threat. See the difference?" Tyrion's a lot of fun.
