    I believe it was Tyrion talking to someone about Littlefinger. Tyrion then went on to say the following:
    You need three things to become ruler of Westeros. Money, influence and an army. He already has two of them.

    I'm trying to find the exact words and who actually said it. I'm fairly positive it was Tyrion but my Google~fu is failing me. Also, doing a search on parts of that sentence does not return any results either.

    I'm sure it was mentioned in reference to Littlefinger but for the life of me I cannot seem to find it.

    My money is on George R. R. Martin

    I think it was actually Varys talking to Lady Olenna

    Season 3 Episode 4

    Lord Varys: I choose my allies carefully, and my enemies more carefully still.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: Which is Sansa Stark?
    Lord Varys: Neither. A babe in the woods. I admired her father.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: Yes, Ned Stark had many admirers. And how many stepped forward when the executioner came for his head?
    Lord Varys: I could not help Lord Stark. Perhaps I can help his daughter.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: How?
    Lord Varys: You're not the only one who has taken an interest in her.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: That's hardly surprising. She's a beautiful girl with a famous name.
    Lord Varys: Indeed. She'd make a lovely match for the right suitor.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: It almost feels as if you're about to arrive at the point.
    Lord Varys: Littlefinger is not long for the capital. A confidant of mine has told me that when he goes, Sansa Stark goes with him.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: And why have you come to me with this matter?
    Lord Varys: Littlefinger was born with no lands, no wealth, no armies. He has acquired the first two. How long before he has the army?
    [Olenna smiles]
    Lord Varys: Perhaps you'll laugh, but I know him better than most, and this is the truth. Littlefinger is one of the most dangerous men in Westeros. If Robb Stark falls, Sansa Stark is the key to the North.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: And if Littlefinger marries her, he'll have the key in his pocket.
    Lord Varys: Which seems such a shame. Why should a man with such a low reputation steal away such a lovely bride?
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: [chuckling] You must despise him, you're working so hard to undermine him.
    Lord Varys: Actually, I rather enjoy him. But he would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: You are a clever man, Lord Varys.
    Lord Varys: You are too kind. I believe I have a possible solution.
    Lady Olenna Tyrell: One doesn't need to be clever for that. It's all rather obvious, isn't it?

    That's probably the more interesting quote!

    And he'd sell the ash for a profit! :P

    You sir, are a true hero. If I could give more thanks I would.

    All hail Littlefinger!
