Anderson Cooper: You met the woman who is now your wife on this show?
Kit Harington: Yeah, I did. I did.
Anderson Cooper: I-- I-- I-- if my memory serves me correctly, the first on-camera scene where you're together, you're trying to kill her, aren't you? Fighting her--
Kit Harington: Yeah--
Anderson Cooper: --with a sword?
Kit Harington: --I try and decapitate her.
Anderson Cooper: You try to decapitate her?
Kit Harington: Yeah, yeah--
Anderson Cooper: Yeah.
Kit Harington: And I can't do it. And I intentionally miss.
Anderson Cooper: So, that was the first scene on camera together?
Kit Harington: Yeah that was-- and that was our-- our first scene we filmed together--
Anderson Cooper: Was it-- was it, like, love at first fight? (LAUGHTER)
Kit Harington: That's a good lead-in to that one. (LAUGH) I loved working with Rose. Like, separately from our relationship or us being married-- I-- I-- I think one of my fondest working relationships was with her.
Anderson Cooper: Well, didn't she shoot three arrows into you?
Kit Harington: Yeah.
Kit Harington: The scenes I almost have most fondness and-- and-- and-- and most proud of are the scene over there-- where she-- where she died, and we had that goodbye-- the scene where she shoots three arrows into me.
Anderson Cooper: (LAUGH) That's one of your fondest scenes?
Kit Harington: Yeah, yeah, yeah. (LAUGHTER) Yeah--
Anderson Cooper: "Oh, she loves me."
Kit Harington: Yeah. (LAUGHTER) But it's brilliant. It's-- it's just-- I-- that was one of my favorite love stories. It's love that can't happen.
Anderson Cooper: Right.
Kit Harington: And ends up with arrows.
