Butterflies. This is huge.” For Dinklage, the scene was a long time coming. “I knew it had to happen,” he said in a sit-down interview with Clarke right after finishing filming the scene. “I’d heard from \[showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss\] that it was inevitable.” The characters’ meeting, however, caught Clarke by surprise. “I was just flipping along reading, reading—“WHAT!?” she said. “And then at the end of the episode, there was a break and I was like, ‘Why don’t you send me the next script? I want to know what happens.'” Read the rest of EW.com’s interview with the _Game of Thrones_ stars [here](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/03/game-thrones-dinklage-clarke-interview "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/"},"headline":"Here's How Emilia Clarke Reacted When She Heard Danaerys Would Meet Tyrion","datePublished":"2015-06-10T16:52:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:05:40.027Z","description":"Season five of Game of Thrones saw Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage share their first-ever scene together","url":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/","keywords":["Television","game of thrones"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt664a985172cd6d2e/698853755f570f105cb1bddc/gameofthrones15_186.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt664a985172cd6d2e/698853755f570f105cb1bddc/gameofthrones15_186.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"gameofthrones15_186","caption":"Michiel Huisman, Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Nathalie Emmanuel and Iain Glen in 'Game of Thrones'","creditText":"Nick Wall courtesy of HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/","name":"Here's How Emilia Clarke Reacted When She Heard Danaerys Would Meet Tyrion"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Even Davos Is Still Angry With Stannis Baratheon","description":"Ian Cunningham, who plays Davos in \"Game of Thrones,\" said it hurt to watch the scene where Stannis Baratheon has his daughter burned at the stake.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/S9WJ3BOH/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-10T16:43:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/S9WJ3BOH.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/","duration":"PT1M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3916337/game-of-thrones-danaerys-tyrion/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
