Maester Control Program Aemon: I've got a little challenge for you, Stark - a new recruit. He's a tough case, but I want him treated in the usual manner. Train him for the Wall... let him hope for a while... and blow him away. Stark: You've got it. I've been hopin' you'd send me somebody with a little bit of guts. What kind of program is he? Maester Control Program Aemon: He's not any kind of program, Stark. He's a User. Stark: [shocked] A User!? Maester Control Program Aemon: That's right. He pushed me in the real world. Somebody pushes me, I push back, so I brought him down here. [pause] Maester Control Program Aemon: What's the matter, Stark? You look nervous. Stark: Well, I - it's just - I don't know, a User, I mean... Users wrote us. A User even wrote you! Maester Control Program Aemon: No one User wrote me. I'm worth millions of their man-years! Stark: What if I can't-- Maester Control Program Aemon: You rather take your chances with me? Want me to slow down your power cycles for you? Stark: [struggling] Wait! I need that! Maester Control Program Aemon: Then pull yourself together. Get this clown trained. I want him on the Wall until he dies playing. Acknowledge. Stark: [weakly] Acknowledged, Maester Control. Maester Control Program Aemon: End of line.
