our love for this universe and the textures and the visuals of it and mish-mashing it in this scrapbook type of way.

And you're like, this is new, this is fun, this is great.

For this type of story, for this dunk and this egg, I'm like, whether you know a lot about Game of Thrones or not, they have such a chemistry because you're just like, oh, they are opposites.

In all the ways there are opposites, but what was magical is like Egg notices something in Dunk that he's just like, there's something about this guy, even though he's massive and tall and a little simple, where it's like, that's what I've been searching for in my journey as a kid.

This is what I've heard about knights.

I want to do this for him.

And I was just like, oh, that's interesting to me.

Where it's like, to me, I would have enjoyed this whether it was Game of Thrones or not, because I was just like...

this is weird.

I want to know about what these two are going to get up to.

At this point, you don't know his name.

He's not from a special house.

completely incurious he's really not curious he's like where you from king's landing flea bottom no yeah completely incurious dunk doesn't really ask people questions about who they are i mean even just that him having to remind himself that it's sir dunk like he's like yeah and the kid is just like hey dunk that doesn't make any sense

But also, do you think, like, the stuff that he promises to Egg at the end was so illuminating?

Because you start the episode...

And being like, well, why does he, what was it about his mentor that he liked?

He just slapped him upside the head, didn't really listen to him.

And then when he's like to Egg, he's like, yo, this isn't a glamorous life, but you're going to be fed.

You'll have a place to sleep.

I'll take care of you.
