For such a sombre finale, House of the Dragon's last episode of Season 3 cracked me up.
Though there were more than a few tragic deaths, sad backstories, brutal battles, and hearts broken, the finale was filled with some exceptional one-liners. Some were battle tactics. Others saw characters mad at their dads.
Here's the funniest lines from the House of the Dragon Season 3 finale, however inappropriate that may be. Spoilers ahead.
"Gate open, then die."
Pour one out for Ser Roderick Dustin (Tommy Flanagan), the Northerner who just couldn't wait to die for Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) or at all. Plotting out their moves at the Battle of Tumbleton, Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) makes sure Ser Roderick and his men know what the plan is. "You are not to die until you open the gate," says Daemon. The man of the North responds. Its giving Legolas.

"F***ing Viserys!"
Dads, man. When Rhaenyra finds out that Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) and his dragon Sunfyre are still alive, she's beside herself. But as she's articulated time and time again over the series, King Viserys' (Paddy Considine) heir has fought through fire and blood for the Iron Throne. And all because her father didn't write her inheritance the hell down. Get it all out, Rhaenyra.
"I'm alive, imbecile!"
Like a petulant child with sing-song delivery, Aegon II makes sure his brother Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) feels every part the younger sibling while confronting him at Harrenhal. To add to Aegon's fury, Aemond begs forgiveness on his knees for trying to kill him. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" cries Aegon. "I was supposed to enjoy this! What's wrong with you? Fight me!"
"You don't say."
If he had survived the Battle of Tumbleton, Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton) would probably refresh his staff, from his eye-roll reaction to his squire. "My lord, the battle has begun!" Ormund's Captain Obvious attendant declares, as the chaos of the battle rolls around them.
"What do you mean, you cannot find him? He has a very large dragon."
Ulf the White (Tom Bennett) and his dragon Silverwing are nowhere to be found during the beginning of the Battle of Tumbleton, much to the dismay of his two masters, Ormund and Daemon. Like Ormund, Daemon's frustration with stating the obvious to his subjects is both terrifying and hilarious.
