QYBURN: I now proclaim Cersei of the House Lannister,
First of Her Name,
Queen of the Andals and the First Men,
Protector of the Seven Kingdoms.
Long may she reign.
ALL: Long may she reign.
It's been absolutely life-changing...
to take a character through eight years of evolution.
It's just been brilliant, you know.
I'm incredibly grateful.
♪ (MUSIC CONTINUES) ♪
I remember, very clearly, the pilot.
We shot in Scotland...
-My Queen. -LENA HEADEY:
"This could just be a pilot."
Another job that doesn't go anywhere,
but you make the most of it.
Yeah, I remember everybody clear--
I remember baby Sophie, and baby Maisie, and baby Isaac.
And now they're full grown.
ROBERT BARATHEON: Show us your muscles.
(LAUGHING) You'll be a soldier.
Ned.
I really enjoyed the scene with Mark Addy,
way back in season one.
I'm sorry your marriage to Ned Stark didn't work out.
You seemed so good together.
Glad I could do something to make you happy.
HEADEY:
and it was like pages and pages long,
and it was really unexpected from those two characters
to be that kind of intimate and honest.
And it was one of the best memories for me.
Sometimes I don't know what holds it together.
Our marriage.
-(LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY) -(CHUCKLES)
HEADEY:
with Robert Baratheon, and it sort of goes some way
to explaining who Cersei is and why she...
then behaves how she does.
CERSEI LANNISTER: Was it ever possible for us?
Was there ever a time, ever a moment?
No.
There's so many people I haven't had chance to work with,
but Pete and Nikolaj, I love working with them.
And Charles Dance, Jack Gleeson,
and Conleth. Those were my nucleus
and I loved every minute with each of them.
It's gonna make me cry.
CAMERA ASSISTANT: Thirty-four apple, take four.
-V marker. -ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Thank you very much.
And we're rolling, quiet please.
HEADEY: As an actor, you work and work and work, and you audition,
and you don't get parts, and you do get parts,
and sometimes they're great experiences,
and sometimes, they're really shitty.
And this has been incredible.
I've had such great material to work with.
Every time I opened a script, I was like, "Oh, my God!"
I have-- you know, for me, personally, just to play these moments
has been really extraordinary and...
I think all of these great twists and turns
and reveals of who's really who, and who's whose daughter,
all these-- I mean, it's just sort of never-ending surprises,
which is why I think people love it.
Putting a big puzzle together.
I don't think this is a good idea, Your Grace.
Nonsense, Ser Meryn. These are deeply religious people.
Where can I find the High Sparrow?
My advice to Cersei... (CHUCKLES)
If you meet a man called the High Sparrow,
steer fucking clear of him.
CERSEI: The faith and the crown are the two pillars
that hold up this world.
One collapses, so does the other.
We must do everything necessary
to protect one another.
HEADEY:
she'll gain power, she'll be able to, kind of,
seduce and manipulate the High Sparrow,
uh, into her way of thinking
and state and church would be one.
She couldn't be more wrong about his intentions,
and his commitment to the righteous.
And the High Sparrow brings her in
and questions Cersei on murder,
and incest, and the rest of it.
Confess.
My son.
Let me speak to-- (GASPS)
Confess.
She kinda holds on...
all through the prison, and the trial
and the questioning and Septa's-- Unella's
kind of brutal treatment of her.
A sinner comes before you
-to make her walk of atonement.
SPEAKER: Shame!
Shame!
-Shame! -(CROWD YELLING)
(SOBBING)
JAIME LANNISTER: Look-- Look me in the eye.
Nothing else matters.
-(SOBBING) -Nothing else matters.
Only us.
Everyone's become family now.
It's all very familiar in the best way.
It's very strange without it.
I miss it.
Guys, I just wanna say it's been amazing,
and I have the upmost respect for each and every one of you,
so, um, thank you.
