The Imp & The Pimp, Part 11 of 11

The final installment in a series of storyboards used as a portfolio to apply for a story position at Pixar.

Joffrey: "I am the King! Kings do not leap from buildings!"

Stark Soldier 1: "Make way, people!" Step aside!"

Stark Soldier 2: "Come 'ere, Lannisters! We'll have your heads for this!"

Tyrion: "Just aim for those bails of hay! They should be enough to break our fall!"

Joffrey: "Why am I even listening to you? I'm the King, and the King does what he--"

SFX: (SLAP!)

Tyrion: "We Jump."

Tyrion: "Looks like you'll get that roll in the hay after all, nephew!"

SFX: (Squish!)

Joffrey: "This is NOT hay."

Tyrion: "Get in the wheel barrow."

Tyrion: "Happy Nameday Joffrey!"

Joffrey: "I hate you."

THE END.

I hope you've enjoyed the series! Can't wait for the ACTUAL Game of Thrones fun to recommence in a couple of weeks. Till then, remember to always pay your debts!

Part ten in a series of boards used as a portfolio to apply for a story position at Pixar. 

Joffrey: "This is the worst nameday ever! When we get back to King's Landing, I'm going to have you thrown into the deepest, darkest dungeon!"

Tyrion: "IF, your grace. IF we make it back to King's Landing."

Tyrion: "You're assuming we escape this blazing inferno..."

Tyrion: "...and somehow circumvent those blood-thirsy Stark soldiers!"

Tyrion: "Though, at the moment, a cool shady dungeon sounds fairly pleasant!"

SFX: (dog barking)

SFX: (dog barking)

Stark Soldiers: "There they are! Up there!"

Tyrion: "I really wish you hadn't kicked that dog."

Part four in a series of boards used as a portfolio to apply for a story position at Pixar.

Joffrey: "I...uh..."

Stark Bannerman: "Sorry lad, you'll have to speak up. I'm a bit 'ard of 'earing!"

Joffrey: "TYRION, DO SOMETHING!!!"

Tyrion: (Gasp!)

Bar Flies: (Whispering) "Tyrion?"

Bar Flies: (Whispering) "Could it be?"

Bar Flies: (Whispering) "Tyrion the Imp?"

Stark Bannerman: "Tyrion, is it? Wouldn't be Tyrion Lannister, would it, wee man?

Tyrion: "Ha! I can assure you one thing, my robust friend..."

Tyrion: "If I was Tyrion Lannister..."

Tyrion: "...you wouldn't catch me in a rat's next like this!"

Barman: "Rat's nest??"

Stark Bannerman: "And I suppose you're some OTHER toe-headed half-man named Tyrion?"

Tyrion: "You and your men have been drinking quite heavily, haven't you?"

Stark Bannerman: "Aye, we enjoy a stiff drink after a victory over Lannister pansies!"

(Stark men cheer in agreement)

Tyrion: "And I'll wager a big man like you drinks enough to piss pure ale!"

Stark Bannerman: "HA!"

Stark Bannerman: "Aye, half-man. They say a Northman's piss is volatile as wildfire!"

Tyrion: "That's what I'm counting on."

 SFX: VWOOM!

The Imp & The Pimp, Part 1 of 10

Note: this story takes place during book/season two, A Clash of Kings. Minor spoiler alert for anyone who has yet to read the first book, or watch the first season. Enjoy!

Tyrion: "Ah, the Leaky Tankard In..."

 Tyrion: "As fine a place as any for a lad's 16th nameday!"

Joffrey: "It looks abhorrent. And why must we wear these rags? It smells like someone died in mine"

Tyrion: "That is likely the case, nephew. But the rags must be worn."

Tyrion: "You're the King now..."

 Tyrion: "...and the King must learn the ways of his subjects, the common man."

 Joffrey: "And you believe I'll gain this education..."

 Joffrey: "In a shit hole like this?"

 Tyrion: "If not an education, at least a good roll in the hay."

 Dog: *Yipe!*
