Davos Seaworth: A proposal is what I'm proposing. Tyrion Lannister: I sense that you're leading to a proposal. You want their loyalty? You have to earn it. I've been up here a while, and I'm telling you, they're stubborn as goats. The Northmen are loyal to Jon Snow, not to her. Davos Seaworth: Her gratitude is lovely, but that's not my point.
