Game of Thrones isn’t just a battle of swords, but quotes too. In “The Queen’s Justice,” many fought for the upper hand but few achieved it.
There was less physical fighting in “The Queen’s Justice” compared to other Game of Thrones episodes, but the battles raged nonetheless. Power players continued to fight for dominance, only they used words instead of weapons. There were many who came out on top, putting the opponent in their place by shaming them or scaring them. Who needs swords when you have tongues?

Jon: You’ll be ruling over a graveyard if we don’t defeat the Night King. -
Jaime: There are always lessons in failures.
Olenna: Yes. You must be very wise by now. -
Sansa: You don’t know Cersei better than anyone here.

Daenerys: We all enjoy what we’re good at.
Jon: I don’t. - Euron: Does she like it gentle or rough? A finger in the bum? Shh, shh, shh, shh, not now. We’ll talk later.

Theon: I couldn’t save her. I tried.

Tyrion: But a wise man once said that you should never believe a thing simply because you want to believe it.
