Fuck it.
-(WIGHT GROWLS)

I had an inkling,
reading the first book,
going, "Oh my God, this is...
this is amazing.
This could really kick off."
I think it was just the first--
 after the first season,
 the fans' response.
 Everyone was going,
 around the world,
 "Oh my God.
 Here we go."
(CHUCKLES)
(MURMURING)
RORY MCCANN: I remember
 when we did the pilot,
 that was very exciting
'cause we had the feeling
it was going to be
quite a big show,
and I was going,
"God, I could cycle to work!
This is fantastic!
It's just over the hill!"
I have a memory
of being pretty nervous,
meeting people, like Sean Bean,
 I've watched for years,
 and getting on a horse
 called Fat Bob that--
everybody went straight ahead
and Fat Bob went
towards the pear tree
over there.
 I'll remember this forever,
 this being
 the biggest job of my life.
I don't think
this'll ever happen.
You know, you're on a show
with hundreds of people,
there's been no assholes,
no people... divas,
there's just been no...
nothing.
Not even a suggestion.
 Because they know
what a great thing they're in.
And you feel like you're part
of this family.
People coming.
You can shit later,
there's people coming.
Morning.
You want something?
Favorite day... was... the fight
between the Hound and...
Brienne of fucking Tarth.
We'd studied and trained
for that a long time,
 and it all came to fruition.
 That was just fantastic.

MCCANN: I watched
 the Red Wedding,
and I didn't really
read into it in the script
of what happened.
I think I just did my bit
and went, "La, la, la,"
and then when it came out,
I remember
I watched it in the morning.
I'm a big guy, big tough guy,
but guess what?
I burst into tears.
It was an absolute shocker.
I remember just watching,
going, "No, no, no.
No. No. No! No! No!
What?"
It was brilliant.
(MEN YELLING)
It's too late.
(ARYA GRUNTS)
Oh, I loved the time with,
uh, with Maisie.
 Maisie's brilliant.
 So clever. So on it.
Really good.
That whole road trip stuff
that we were doing,
that was just a joy.
SER DONNEL WAYNWOOD:
Who would pass the Bloody Gate?
THE HOUND: The bloody Hound.
And his...
traveling companion,
Arya Stark.
(LAUGHS)
MCCANN: Yeah, I'm gonna
 miss the Hound.
Sometimes there's
no acting required.
There's a lot of Hound in me,
by the way.
When I've got on a helmet,
going, "What?
That's not very subtle, is it?"
And when you're riding,
it is the most ridiculous thing
'cause you're--
the jaw moves up and down.
But it's classic.
 I've got one at home,
 and I've terrified--
 I've appeared on a motorbike
 behind someone,
wearing that,
in the middle of nowhere,
and they nearly crashed
in front of me.
Right? I'm saying-- (GROWLS)
(SCREAMS)
 We've been on it
 for eight seasons, and...
I'm-- I'm gonna miss just, eh,
all my-- the-- all my friends.
I'm just thinking of when
I end up with the Brotherhood
quite a lot,
and we were jamming every night
and stuff, and...
 we just had such great times.
 Sometimes too good a time,
 but it's--
it's been really--
it's been fantastic.
There's happy and sad there,
the script's fantastic,
and everybody's storylines are
all getting sewn up together.
 Everyone's buzzing about it,
 the readthrough,
everyone was just going crazy.
But there's a sadness.
It's a great show
coming to an end.
 I'm trying to enjoy it.
 I'm still walking around
 a complete bastard.
But I'm aware
it's tick-tock, tick-tock.
I'll tell you what
I won't miss.
Walking around with
half a fucking beard
three quarters of the year.
Lookin' like a fanny.
Look at it.
