Quotes
-
Daryl Dixon : You hear that?
Merle Dixon : Yeah. Wild animals gettin' wild.
Daryl Dixon : No, that's a baby.
Merle Dixon : Oh, come on. Why don't you just piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.
-
Carol Peletier : You need to know something. You did more for my little girl today than her own daddy did in his whole life.
Daryl Dixon : I didn't do anything Rick or Shane wouldn't have done.
Carol Peletier : I know. You're every bit as good as them. Every bit.
-
Carol Peletier : [to Daryl, as they all sit around a campfire with T-Dog keeping watch and Rick patrolling the area] We're not safe with him. Keeping something like that from us. Why do you need him? He's just gonna pull you down.
Daryl Dixon : Nah. Rick's done all right by me.
Carol Peletier : You're his henchman... and I'm a burden. We deserve better.
Daryl Dixon : What do you want?
Carol Peletier : A man of honor.
Daryl Dixon : Rick has honor.
Maggie Greene : [to Glenn after hearing Carol] I think we should take our chances.
Hershel Greene : Don't be foolish. There's no food, no fuel, no ammo.
Beth Greene : [Hearing a sound nearby] What was that?
Daryl Dixon : [as they all stand up] Could be anything. A raccoon, a possum...
Glenn Rhee : ...A walker.
Carol Peletier : We need to leave. I mean, what are we waiting for?
Theodore 'T-Dog' Douglas : Which way?
Maggie Greene : It came from over there.
Beth Greene : Back from where we came.
Maggie Greene : Yeah.
Rick Grimes : The last thing we need is for everyone to go running off in the dark. We don't have the vehicles. No one's traveling on foot.
Hershel Greene : Don't panic.
Maggie Greene : I'm not. I'm not sitting here waiting for another herd to blow through. We need to move now.
Rick Grimes : No one's going anywhere.
[Everyone begins to stare at Rick, silently questioning him]
Carol Peletier : Do something.
Rick Grimes : I AM DOING SOMETHING! I'm keeping this group together, ALIVE! I've been doing that all along, no matter what! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS! I KILLED MY BEST FRIEND FOR YOU PEOPLE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!
[They all stare at him in disbelief and shock]
Rick Grimes : You saw what he was like... how he pushed me... how he compromised us... how he threatened us. He staged the whole Randall thing, led me out to put a bullet in my back. He gave me no CHOICE! He was my friend, but he came after me.
[Carl hugs Lori and begins crying into her shoulder]
Rick Grimes : My hands are clean.
[They still stand there in shock and disbelief]
Rick Grimes : Maybe you people are better off without me. Go ahead... I say there's a place for us, but maybe, maybe it's just another pipe dream. May... Maybe I'm fooling myself again. What? Why don't... Why don't you go on and find out yourself! Send me a postcard!
[Nobody does or says anything]
Rick Grimes : Go on, there's the door. Think you can do better? Let's see how far you get.
[They continue to remain silent]
Rick Grimes : No takers? Fine. We get one thing straight: You're staying. This isn't a democracy anymore.
[He walks off to continue patrolling the area, as everyone stands there, still in silence as the camera pans over the trees and focuses on the prison off in the distance]

Rick Grimes : [Cocks gun] We're not leaving.
Hershel Greene : We can't stay here.
Maggie Greene : What if there's another snaprel? Wood pallet won't stop another one of those rounds.
Beth Greene : We can't even go outside.
Carol Peletier : Within the daylight.
Glenn Rhee : If Rick says we're not running, we're not running!
Merle Dixon : [Locked behind a cell] No? Better to live like rats.
Rick Grimes : You got a better idea?
Merle Dixon : Yeah, we should've slid outta here last night, live to fight another day. But we lost that window, didn't we? Now, I'm sure he's got scouts on every road out of this place by now.
Daryl Dixon : We ain't scared of that prick.
Merle Dixon : Y'all should be. That truck-through-the-fence thing? That's just him ringing the doorbell. We might have some thick walls to hide behind, but he's got the guns and the numbers. And if he takes the high ground around this place, shoot, he could just starve us out if he wanted to.
Maggie Greene : Let's put him in the other cell block!
Daryl Dixon : No. He's gotta point.
Maggie Greene : [to Merle] THIS IS ALL YOU! YOU STARTED THIS!
Beth Greene : What's the difference whose fault it is? What do we do?
Hershel Greene : I said we should leave. Now, Axel's dead. We can't just sit here.
[Rick turns to leave the cell block, walking out on the conversation]
Hershel Greene : GET BACK HERE!
[Rick stops in his tracks, as Hershel, on his crutches, walks over to Rick]
Hershel Greene : You're slipping, Rick. We've all seen it, we understand why. But now is not the time! You once said this isn't a democracy. Now you have to own up to that. I put my family's life in your hands. So, get your head clear and do something.
Rick Grimes : [Opening the door to a loading dock and looks out; Carl then comes out] You shouldn't be out here.
Carl Grimes : I'm a good shot.
Rick Grimes : Yes, you are.
Carl Grimes : Hey, Dad?
Rick Grimes : Yeah?
Carl Grimes : If I say something, will you promise not to be mad?
Rick Grimes : I won't get mad.
Carl Grimes : You should stop.
Rick Grimes : Stop what?
Carl Grimes : Being the leader.
[Rick turns to look at him]
Carl Grimes : Have Hershel and Daryl handle things. You deserve a rest.
[He continues to look at Carl, as Carl walks away]
-
Michonne : [after Rick opens the door to find Milton lying on the floor, dead, and Andrea propped up against the wall] Andrea!
[Michonne runs over to Andrea]
Andrea Harrison : [They enter the room] I tried to stop him.
Michonne : You're burning up.
Andrea Harrison : [She pulls her coat back to reveal a bloody Walker bite, with Rick visibly upset] Judith, Carl, the rest of them...
Rick Grimes : Us. The rest... of us.
Andrea Harrison : Are they alive?
Rick Grimes : Yeah. They're alive.
Andrea Harrison : [Looks to Michonne] It's good you found them.
[Michonne nods in agreement, while crying]
Andrea Harrison : No one can make it alone now.
Daryl Dixon : They never could.
Andrea Harrison : [to Rick] I just didn't want anyone to die.
[Sitting up a little]
Andrea Harrison : I can do it myself.
Michonne : No!
Andrea Harrison : I have to... while I still can.
[Turns back to Rick]
Andrea Harrison : Please.
[Rick is saddened]
Andrea Harrison : I know how the safety works.
[He hands Andrea his gun, respecting her wishes]
Michonne : Well, I'm not going anywhere.
Andrea Harrison : [Looks up at Daryl, with Daryl, also, visibly saddened, then looks back at Rick] I tried.
Rick Grimes : Yeah, you did. You did.
[Rick and Daryl leave the room, leaving Andrea the privacy she needs, as Michonne sits with Andrea during her final moments; Rick, Daryl, and Tyreese are outside the door, saddened as the gun goes off, ending Andrea's life]
