Hey, remember Winterfell? Let's go back there! Theon is practicing some archery in the background while Bran is quizzed on various noble families and cities. This is probably important stuff, right? I bet it's one of those things where there are fifty irrelevant things and then one incredibly important thing that the whole show ends up hinging on. Well, too bad for you, then, because Bran is sulky and does not enunciate his answers properly, which is the sort of thing that gets in the way of a good transcription. I will tell you that when the Greyjoys are mentioned, Theon comments that they're famed for their skills at archery, navigation, and lovemaking. Bran's teacher adds "failed rebellions" to that. Bran pretends that the Lannister motto is "A Lannister always pays his debts," in case we didn't notice when Tyrion said that. It's no "Winter is coming," but it probably increases your chances of getting credit at the local brothel. And speaking of family mottos, Bran thinks that "Family, duty, honor" (Tully family) should imply that family comes first, which means that he's mad about his mother not being there when he woke up. The teacher promises she'll be back soon, but he points out that his mother's precise whereabouts are currently unknown, so it's hard to make promises about when she'll be home. He's also mopey about how he'll never be able to shoot a bow again (although he wasn't any good at it back when his legs worked), and then he's shocked to learn that Dothraki boys shoot from horseback.
Theon is next seen having sex with a red-haired lady, who we can assume is Rose. You remember, the one that he recommended to Tyrion? The one Jon Snow spoke fondly of? She's apparently good at her job. And her job today is having sex (doggy-style, of course, which we might as well just rename to "Game of Thrones style") with Theon. He asks her about what Tyrion's packing, but she just tells him that Tyrion is good with his fingers and tongue. Also he's a good tipper, but that might just be because the Lannisters are exceedingly rich. I bet Cersei's a lousy tipper, though. Theon tries to regain some ground by saying that the Greyjoys are also rich, but they're not, you know, Lannister Rich. Rose calls him "A serious boy with a serious cock," which I'm not sure is entirely a positive. Don't you want a cock with a fun side? Theon says he doesn't want to pay for it anymore, and Rose tells him to get a wife, then.
