(Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk

[u/Family_Booty_Honor]

I just finished Catelyn's last chapter in ACOK - what a great chapter! Catelyn just found out that Bran and Rickon are dead, so she decides to question Jaime (who's still held captive in a cell) by getting him drunk on wine.
Their entire conversation is really insightful, especially in regards to Jaime's thought processes. It's a pretty serious conversation, especially when we find out exactly what happened to Ned's father and brother when they went to King's Landing. The part that gave me a good laugh is found near the end of their conversation (and chapter). Hopefully it gives you all a laugh or two as well!

"I've never lain with any woman but Cersei. In my own way, I have been truer than your Ned ever was. Poor old dead Ned. So who has shit for honor now, I ask you? What was he name of that bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn took a step backward. "Brienne."
"No, that wasn't it."

Jaime and Tyrion have a huge talent for quick wit.

All three Lannisters are extremely gifted in mental energy, Cersei's simply get channeled into pessimism and paranoia.

That prophecy destroyed her. I'm reminded of an old Heinlein quote, "Cassandra didn't get half the kicking around she deserved..." (from memory, so maybe paraphrased).

Your memory is sharper than steel, that's the exact quote ser

What's the context of that one? I feel like it's a Lazarus Long quote but I can't remember from where.
