Quotes 

• [in a deleted scene, Rick's group returns to the Vatos gang only to find them all murdered] 

  Glenn Rhee : What the hell happened?

  Andrea : What do you think? They got overrun.

  Daryl Dixon : [Daryl scoffs]  Pfft.

  Andrea : Something to say?

  Daryl Dixon : Yeah. How about 'observant'?

  Andrea : 'Observant.' Big word from a guy like you. Three whole syllables.

  Daryl Dixon : Walkers didn't do this. Geeks didn't show up until all this went down. Somebody attacked this place. Killed all these people, took whatever they wanted. They're all shot in the head execution style. You're all worried about walkers? I'd be much more worried about the people who came here and did all this. Get a dictionary. Look it up. Observant!

  [Rick's group remains silent to see it's true] 

• [Andrea tells Dale that she saved his life back at the CDC] 

  Dale Horvath : I know you're angry at me. That much is clear. But if I hadn't done what I did, you'd be dead now.

  Andrea : Jenner gave us an option. I chose to stay.

  Dale Horvath : You chose suicide.

  Andrea : So, what's that to you? You barely know me.

  Dale Horvath : I know Amy's death devastated you.

  Andrea : Keep her out of this. This is not about Amy. This is about us. And if I decided I had nothing left to live for, who the hell are you to tell me otherwise? To force my hand like that?

  Dale Horvath : I saved your life.

  Andrea : No, Dale. I saved yours. You forced that on me. I didn't want your blood on my hands and that is the only reason I left that building. What did you expect? What, I'd have some kind of epiphany? Some life-affirming catharsis?

  Dale Horvath : Maybe just a little gratitude.

  Andrea : Gratitude? I wanted to die my way, not torn apart by drooling freaks. That was my choice. You took that away from me, Dale.

• [Lori tells the group that if they can do this without Rick then to go right ahead] 

  Lori Grimes : [Lori looks to Andrea before looking at the entire group]  I'm sick of the looks you're giving me. All of you.

  Lori Grimes : [sitting down next to Carol]  Honey, I can't imagine what you're going through. And I would do anything to stop it. But you have got to stop blaming Rick. It is in your face every time you look at him. When Sophia ran he didn't hesitate, did he? Not for a second. I don't know that any of us would have gone after her the way he did or made the hard decisions that he had to make or that anybody could have done it any differently. Anybody?

  Lori Grimes : [Lori continues when there's silence]  Y'all look to him and then you blame him when he's not perfect. If you think you can do this without him, go right ahead. Nobody is stopping you.

  Andrea : [Andrea hands the gun back to Lori]  We should keep moving.

• [Andrea watches Shane clean out the barrel of his pistol as he offers to clean hers] 

  Andrea : Looks complicated.

  Shane Walsh : The trick is getting all these pieces back together the same way. I could clean yours, show you how.

  Shane Walsh : [Andrea shows him her handgun]  Oh yeah. It's a sweet piece.

  Andrea : It was a gift from my father. He gave it to me just before Amy and I took off on our road trip. He said two girls on their own should be able to defend themselves.

  Shane Walsh : Smart man, your father.

• [Carol sees Rick and Daryl return without Sophia] 

  Carol Peletier : Is that blood?

  Rick Grimes : We took down a Walker.

  Carol Peletier : Walker? Oh my God.

  Rick Grimes : There was no sign it was ever anywhere near Sophia.

  Andrea : How can you know that?

  Daryl Dixon : We cut the son of a bitch open, made sure.

• [Carol asks Daryl about the plan of looking for Sophia] 

  Carol Peletier : So this is it? This the whole plan?

  Daryl Dixon : I guess the plan is to whittle us down into smaller and smaller groups. Carrying knives and pointy sticks.

  Andrea : [Andrea to Lori]  I see you have a gun.

  Lori Grimes : Why, you want it?

• [Andrea asks Dale to give back her gun] 

  Andrea : Where's my gun? You have no right to take it.

  Dale Horvath : You don't need that just now, do you?

  Andrea : My father gave it to me. It's mine.

  Dale Horvath : I can hold onto it for you.

  Andrea : Or you can give it back to me.

• [Andrea asks Dale a second time for her gun back] 

  Dale Horvath : Andrea, I'm begging you. Don't put me in this position.

  Andrea : I'm not going out there without my gun. I'll even say please.

  Dale Horvath : I'm doing this for you.

  Andrea : No, Dale, you're doing it for you. You need to stop. What do you think's gonna happen? I'm gonna stick it in my mouth and pull the trigger the moment you hand it to me?

• [Andrea tells Dale she's not his problem] 

  Andrea : All I wanted after my sister died was to get out of this endless horrific nightmare we live every day. I wasn't hurting anyone else. You took my choice away, Dale. And you expect gratitude?

  Dale Horvath : I don't know what to say.

  Andrea : I'm not your little girl. I'm not your wife. And I am sure as hell not your problem. That's all there is to say.

• [Andrea tells Shane that them two are the odd men out] 

  Andrea : You observe this group lately? I have. I see two people who don't belong. We're the odd men out. Between the two of us, we make a great third wheel.

  Shane Walsh : So what? Say we do, we just run off. What's in it for me except for the extra ass I got to cover?

  Andrea : The chance to do something for someone else.

  Shane Walsh : Yeah.

  Andrea : And a door that swings both ways. Put a gun in my hand, I'll cover your ass too.

  [Shane scoffs] 

• [Andrea and Shane name the group of Walkers on the interstate as a Herd] 

  Andrea : I'm still freaked out from that herd that passed us by, or whatever you'd call it.

  Glenn Rhee : Yeah, what was that? All of them just marching along like that.

  Shane Walsh : A herd. That sounds about right. We've seen it. It's like the night the camp got attacked. Some wandering pack, only fewer.

• [Shane tells everybody to take a weapon to look for Sophia] 

  Shane Walsh : Everybody takes a weapon.

  Andrea : [Andrea sees the knives]  These aren't the kind of weapons we need. What about the guns?

  Shane Walsh : We've been over that. Daryl, Rick and I are carrying. We can't have people popping off rounds every time a tree rustles.

  Andrea : It's not the trees I'm worried about.

  Shane Walsh : Say somebody fires at the wrong moment, a herd happens to be passing by. See, then it's game over for all of us.

• [Daryl finds a corpse alone inside an abandoned tent] 

  Andrea : What's in there?

  Daryl Dixon : Some guy. Did what Jenner said. Opted out. Ain't that what he called it?

• [Andrea tells Shane that she wants to leave away with him] 

  Andrea : I'm coming with you.

  Shane Walsh : I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

  Andrea : I'm not stupid and I'm certainly not deaf. Look, I don't know the story.

  Shane Walsh : There is no story.

  Andrea : Fine, I don't care. Don't confuse me with someone who does. Look, all I care about is getting out of here as far away as I can, like you.

  Shane Walsh : We're gonna sail off into the sunset together? We gonna hold hands?

  Andrea : I'm not asking you to go steady, Shane. I'm asking for a ride, a chance to start over somewhere else.

• [in a deleted scene, Dale hands Andrea some condiments asking if she's all right] 

  Dale Horvath : You all right?

  Andrea : Why wouldn't I be? We're spending the night in a building that stinks so badly of rotten bodies, I want to vomit out my guts, dining on condiments and hoping I don't get eaten by dead cannibal freaks before dawn. What's not to like?

  Andrea : [Dale remains quiet]  Thank you, Dale.
