- Ragnar: What do you see?
- Bjorn Lothbrok: Power. The power of a king.
- Ragnar: Power is always dangerous. It attracts the worst. And corrupts the best. I never asked for power. Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up.
- The Seer: What is it you wish to ask the gods?
- Lagertha: Will I ever bear another child, o wise one?
- The Seer: I cannot see another child, no matter how far I look
- Lagertha: Then... what do you see?
- The Seer: I see a harvest celebrated in blood. I see a trickster whose weapon cleaves you. I see a city made of marble. And a burning broiling ocean.
- Lagertha: Not one of your prophecies do I understand
- The Seer: It is the way of the prophecy. Only to be understood when it has happened and it is too late to change it.
- Floki: A creaking bow, a burning flame,
- Rollo: Tide on the ebb, new ice, a coiled snake,
- Floki: Sons of a king, an ailing calf, a witch's flattery.
- Rollo: No man should be such a fool as to trust these things.
- Floki: No man should trust the word of a woman.
- Floki: The hearts of women were turned on a whirling wheel.
- Rollo: To love a fickle woman is like setting out over ice on a three year old colt or sailing a ship without a rudder.
