11 characters with the best last words on Game of Thrones

Valar morghulis. All men must die. And, thanks to the stellar writing on the series, many characters’ last words on Game of Thrones have been quite memorable.

In the wilds of Westeros on Game of Thrones, death is almost certain. Yet, not every character who dies gets to go out in a blaze of eloquent glory. Some just don’t see death knocking at their door, and others are too flustered or fatigued to form a coherent sentence.

Death doesn’t wait for clever words. Quite frankly, it’s shocking that the tart-tongued Littlefinger (Aiden Gillen) didn’t have time for a proper goodbye before he bled out all over the floors of Winterfell, but others have certainly been able to eke out one final farewell before shuffling off this mortal coil. With the promise of more death to come in the final season of Game of Thrones, we’re looking back at the final words that stuck with viewers and made a lasting impact on the world of the show.

So, from pleas of mercy to savage clapbacks, we’re counting down the eleven most memorable last words on Game of Thrones. Is your favorite here? Did we miss it? Let us know in the comments.
