Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage, is a character from “Game of Thrones.” He’s the smart, witty, but short in stature son of the very powerful Lannister family. Despite being underestimated because of his size, he’s really good at politics and ends up in some high-ranking positions like Hand of the King. He’s clever, deals with a lot of family drama, and tries to prove he’s more than just his physical appearance.

Father, I wish to confess. I wish to confess.
You wish to confess?
I saved you. I saved this city and all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all.
Here here… Do you wish to confess?
Yes, Father, I’m guilty. Guilty, is that what you want to hear?
You admit you poisoned the king?
No, of that I’m innocent. I’m guilty of a far more monstrous crime. I’m guilty of being a dwarf.
You’re not on trial for being a dwarf.
Oh, yes, I am. I’ve been on trial for that my entire life.
Have you nothing to say in your defence?
Nothing but this: I did not do it. I did not kill Joffrey, but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than a thousand lying whores.
I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.
Samarin, Samarin, escort the prisoner back to his…
I will not give my life for Joffrey’s murder, and I know I’ll get no justice here, so I will let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.
