OBS: Detta svar kommer att strängt handla om TV-show, inte böckerna. I böckerna är sakerna helt annorlunda.
Älskade hon honom?
I showen älskade Shae verkligen Tyrion. Hon visade det när Tyrion föreslog att hon skulle fly före Stannis tar över King's Landing. Shae å andra sidan avvisade sitt förslag och riskerade sitt liv och bestämde sig för att stanna med honom till det bittera slutet. Inget pengar kan göra en person att göra det.
Shae: Are you afraid, my lion?
Tyrion: If the city falls, Stannis will burn every Lannister he can find. Of course I'm afraid.
Shae: I won't let them hurt you.
Tyrion: I'm a Lannister. I don't have a choice in all this. But it's not your war.
Shae: It is now.
Tyrion: You can't fuck your way out of everything.
Shae: I have so far. Do you remember what you said when you met me in your tent? That I should make love to you like it was your last day on this earth.
Season 2 Episode 9 - Blackwater
Då fick Tyrion grymma ansiktsskador, avskedades av hans post som Konungens hand, förlorade sina guldklovar och stammarna. I sitt mest utsatta läge kom Shae för att se honom. Hon klargjorde för honom att hon inte bryr sig om pengarna.
Tyrion: It was good of you to come.
Shae: Good of me? Of course I come. I want to see you.
Tyrion: Believe me, you don't.
Shae: Have you looked? I will be the first.
Tyrion: Well?
Shae: You are a mess.
Tyrion: I'm a monster as well as a dwarf. You should charge me double.
Shae: You think I'm here for money?
Tyrion: That was the arrangement we made.I pay you and you lie to me.
Shae: Oh. I'm a poor little rich man and nobody loves me, so I make jokes all the time and pay them to laugh. Fuck your money
Season 2 Episode 10 - Valar Morghulis
Hon visade det vidare när hon nästa föreslog att Tyrion skulle fly i exil med henne och hon var okej, med att han var en penniless exil och fortfarande ville vara med honom.
Shae: Let's leave.
Tyrion: Leave?
Shae: Leave King's Landing. They tried to kill you. They will try again. Going into wars, fighting soldiers, you're terrible at this. Let's take a boat to Pentos and never come back. You don't belong here.
Tyrion: What would we do in Pentos?
Shae: Eat, drink, fuck, live.
Tyrion: I want to go with you.
Shae: So do it. Your father, your sister, all these bad people, they can't stop you. Forget about them. Come with me.
Tyrion: I can't. I do belong here. These bad people are what I'm good at. Outtalking them, outthinking them. It's what I am. And I like it. I like it more than anything I've ever done. Are you going to leave?
Shae: You have a shit memory. I am yours and you are mine.
Season 2 Episode 10 - Valar Morghulis
Så varför förråda honom?
De började glida i säsong 3. Shae har redan misstänkt att Tyrion fann Sansa attraktiv. Tyrion fann begreppet absurt. Och tydligen verkade Shae nöjd med hans förnekande.
Men driften cementerade när Sansa och Tyrion var tvungna att bli tvungna gift. Tyrion ville tala med både Sansa och Shae separat men Shae vägrade att lämna och Sansa vägrade att avfärda henne. Tyrion tvingades informera Sansa om sin fars plan framför Shae. Han passerade en kodordad ursäkt till Shae, men hon förstod inte heller det eller var för rasande att överväga det. För henne var det Tyrion som förråda henne för en högfödd tjej.
Det betydande slaget kom före Tyrions äktenskap. Shae hade fortfarande förhoppningar om att Tyrion skulle kunna välja exil för henne men han vägrade och Shae insåg att hon alltid var och alltid blir bara en annan whore för Tyrion.
Shae: So, am I invited to your wedding?
Tyrion: I didn't ask for this marriage. I didn't want it.
Shae: No? She's a beautiful girl. You said so yourself.
Tyrion: That doesn't mean that, this is duty, not desire.
Shae: Is that what you will tell yourself when you fuck her?
Tyrion: I don't have a choice. My father
Shae: Does not rule the world. We can still go across the Narrow Sea.
Tyrion: What would I do there? Juggle? I am a Lannister of Casterly Rock.
Shae: And I'm Shae the funny whore.
Tyrion: My feelings for you have not changed. I will marry Sansa Stark and do my duty by her.
Shae: While I empty her chamber pot and lick your cock when you're bored?
Tyrion: I swear to you it will not be like that.
Shae: No? What will it be like?
Tyrion: I will buy you a good home somewhere in the city. You will have fine clothes, guards to keep you safe, servants. Any children we might have will be well provided for.
Shae: Children? You think I want children who can never see their father? Who would be killed in their sleep if their grandfather found out about them?
Tyrion: Listen. Listen to me, my lady.
Shae: I'm not your lady.
Tyrion: You are. You'll always be my lady.
Shae: I'm your whore. And when you are tired of fucking me, I will be nothing.
Season 3 Episode 7 - The bear and the maiden fair
Senare Varys försökte betala henne för att lämna, hon avvisade väskan med diamanter och sa att om Tyrion vill att hon ska lämna, kan han blodigt fråga henne själv.
Shae hade fortfarande hopp och försökte förföra Tyrion vid flera tillfällen, Tyrion gjorde alltid en ursäkt, som bara fördjupade riftet.
Vid den tiden hade Shae närvaro noterats av Cersei. Med tanke på att Tyes säkerhet var orolig för att han skulle hänga nästa höra som han hittade i Tyrions säng bestämde Tyrion att det var dags att bryta sig för gott och att Shae hade åkt till säkerhet, oavsett kostnaden. Tyrion var väldigt grym mot henne, trots att han bara låtsades låta henne lämna King's Landing, men det bröt Shae hjärta.
Shae: What's wrong, my lion?
Tyrion: Don't call me that.
Shae: What should I call you?
Tyrion: I'm afraid our friendship can't continue.
Shae: Our friendship?
Tyrion: There's a ship waiting in the harbor bound for Pentos.
Shae: What?
Tyrion: You'll have your own cabin, of course, and across the Narrow Sea a house, servants.
Shae: What is this?
Tyrion: I'm a married man. My wife has suffered a great deal, as you well know. I don't want her to suffer anymore on my account. I need to uphold my vows.
Shae: She doesn't want you.
Tyrion: I need to do right by her.
Shae: You don't want her.
Tyrion: By our children.
Shae: What are you afraid of?
Tyrion: I'm not afraid.
Shae: You are. You are afraid of your father and your sister. You're going to run from them all your life?
Tyrion: I need you to leave.
Shae: I'm not afraid of them. I'm not going to run.
Tyrion: Shae.
Shae: We will fight them together. It's like you said, I am yours and you are mine.
Tyrion: You're a whore! Sansa is fit to bear my children and you are not. I can't be in love with a whore. I can't have children with a whore. How many men have you been with?
Shae: How many whores have you been with?
Tyrion: I have enjoyed my time with all of them and I have enjoyed my time with you most of all. But now that time is over. You'll have a comfortable life in Pentos. Bronn will escort you to your ship.
Season 4 Episode 2 - The Lion and the Rose
Så det var det, Tyrion bekräftade det för honom att hon bara var en whore och allt han sa tidigare var en lögn och han skulle nu njuta av sitt liv med sin nya fru och hennes barn på henne, vilken Shae var oförmögen för. Shae skulle nu bli vad Tyrion tyckte att hon var, en hora. Så hon sålde ut.
Senare, vid Tyrions rättegång kastade hon det i Tyrions tänder när han bad om att hon skulle sluta.
Tyrion: Shae. Please don't.
Shae: I am a whore. Remember?
