Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3: 5 lines you’ll quote all week

Melisandre gives Arya a pep talk
"Melisandre: What do we say to the god of death? Arya: Not today."
In part of saying goodbye to Beric, Melisandre gave Arya the pep talk she needed to here. They were in the middle of battle, and it was time to shake things off and get back to it.
Certainly, having met death many times, Arya was ready to give it one last go. The quote nearly reminds us of the interaction that Arya had with Gendry earlier in the season, where he warned her about what was to come. Back then, before Arya knew what to expect, she seemed hardly bothered because she had encountered death so many times. But this time around, Melisandre returning for the battle was exactly what Arya needed, and we know her words of wisdom helped carry Arya through battle.
