A Storm of Swords – Is There Gold?

A Storm of Swords – Is There Gold?

The fight breaks out and Arya goes postal on the Tickler repeating his interrogation line, “Is there gold?” over and over as she stabs him. It’s so intense that even Sandor thinks she should turn it down a bit.
This was another one that, while I thought the principal was sound, really didn’t turn out very well. I rushed it and ended up having to fix a lot of it in post.

A quick thought I just had was whether Arya’s “Is there gold?” has any parallel with Tyrion’s “hands of gold.”

“Is there gold hidden in the village?” she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. “Is there silver? Gems?” She stabbed twice more. “Is there food? Where is Lord Beric?” She was on top of him by then, still stabbing. “Where did he go? How many men were with him? How many knights? How many bowmen? How many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? Is there gold in the village?”
