- Rick Grimes: [Rick tells the group that whoever stays that it's not a democracy anymore] 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. Maybe... maybe I'm fooling myself again. Why don't you... Why don't you go and find out yourself? Send me a postcard. Go on, there's the door. You can do better? Let's see how far you get.
- Rick Grimes: [the group remains silent] No takers? Fine. But get one thing straight... you're staying. This isn't a democracy anymore.
- [Rick reminds Hershel that he's a man of faith]
- Rick Grimes: You're a man of God. Have some faith.
- Hershel Greene: I can't profess to understand God's plan, but Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind.
- [Rick tells Lori that he killed Shane]
- Rick Grimes: [Lori holds Rick from behind] I killed him. I killed Shane.
- Rick Grimes: [Lori releases her arms from Rick] He came at me. He killed Randall to get me into the woods. He planned it. I had... I had no choice.
- Rick Grimes: [Lori removes her hands from Rick] I gave him every chance... And he kept leading me further out. He pushed me, and I let him. And after awhile, I knew... I knew what he was doing, what he was up to. And I kept going. I didn't stop. I could have, but... I just wanted it over.
- Rick Grimes: [Lori closes her eyes behind Rick] Dogging me every step of the way. Acting like I stole you and Carl, like... Like I was in the way. I just wanted it over. I wanted him dead. I killed him.
- Rick Grimes: [Lori hangs her head] He turned. That's how I knew Jenner... Jenner was right.
- Rick Grimes: [Lori covers her mouth] Carl put him down.
- [Lori grabs her knees before shoving Rick away from her]
- [Carol tries to tell Daryl that they don't need Rick]
- Carol Peletier: 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: No. Rick's done all right by me.
- Carol Peletier: You're his henchman and I'm a burden. You deserve better.
- Daryl Dixon: What do you want?
- Carol Peletier: A man of honor.
- Daryl Dixon: Rick has honor.
- [Daryl makes a joke of how he found Glenn and Maggie]
- Rick Grimes: Where'd you find everyone?
- Daryl Dixon: Well, those guys' tail lights zigzagging all over the road... figured he had to be Asian, driving like that.
- Rick Grimes: [Glenn chuckles] Good one.
- [Rick tells the group that he's trying to keep them alive]
- 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 is going anywhere.
- Carol Peletier: Do something.
- Rick Grimes: [Rick yells in his whisper] 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!
- [Hershel tells the group that he's going to defend his home from the herd of Walkers]
- Hershel Greene: You can go if you want.
- Daryl Dixon: You gonna take 'em all on?
- Hershel Greene: We have guns. We have cars.
- Andrea: [Hershel cocks a gun] Kill as many as we can, and we'll use the cars to lead the rest of them off the farm.
- Daryl Dixon: Are you serious?
- Hershel Greene: This is my farm. I'll die here.
- Daryl Dixon: [Hershel cocks a shotgun] All right. It's as good a night as any.
- [Rick tells the group that he was left with no choice but to kill Shane]
- 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. My hands are clean.
- [Rick tells the group that they're all infected]
- Rick Grimes: We're all infected.
- Daryl Dixon: What?
- Rick Grimes: At the CDC, Jenner told me. Whatever it is, we all carry it.
- Carol Peletier: [the group hesitate to speak] And you never said anything?
- Rick Grimes: Would it have made a difference?
- Glenn Rhee: You knew this whole time?
- Rick Grimes: How could I have known for sure? You saw how crazy that mo...
- Glenn Rhee: That is not your call. Okay, when I found out about the walkers in the barn, I told, for the good of everyone.
- Rick Grimes: Well, I thought it best that people didn't know.
- [Daryl pulls up on his motorcycle to save Carol from the herd of Walkers]
- Daryl Dixon: Come on, I ain't got all day!
- [the group see a herd of Walkers approaching Hershel's farm house]
- Hershel Greene: [Hershel whispers] Patricia, kill the lights.
- Andrea: I'll get the guns.
- Glenn Rhee: Maybe they're just passing, like the herd on the highway. Should we just go inside?
- Daryl Dixon: Not unless there's a tunnel downstairs I don't know about. A herd that size would rip the house down.
- [Maggie cries inside the car with Glenn thinking her family is dead]
- Glenn Rhee: [Maggie cries] Hey, Maggie, look at me. Look at me. Hey, we're alive. We made it. Okay? I'm sure they are, too. Right?
- Glenn Rhee: [Maggie nods] I love you. Maggie, I love you. I should've said it a long time ago and it's been true for a long time. We're gonna be all right, okay? We'll be all right.
- Maggie Greene: [Maggie stops crying] Okay. Yeah.
- [the group decides to head east]
- Rick Grimes: We gotta keep moving. There have been Walkers crawling all over here.
- T-Dog: I say head east.
- Daryl Dixon: Stay off the main roads. The bigger the road, the more Walkers, more assholes like this one.
- Daryl Dixon: [the group sees an approaching Walker] I got him
- [Daryl fires an arrow to the Walker's head]
- [first lines]
- Andrea: [Andrea and the group wait at the farm house for Rick] I'm going after them.
- Lori Grimes: Don't, they could be anywhere. And if Randall comes back, we're gonna need you here.
- [Rick leads the herd of Walkers into the barn]
- Rick Grimes: [Rick screams] Hey! Hey! You want some? Come and get it! Come on! Come on! Come on! Over here! Come on, over here. Come on, over here!
- Rick Grimes: [Ricks yells for Carl to drop the lighter] Carl, now!
- [Rick and Carl talk on the highway about going back to the farm house]
- Carl Grimes: W... we gotta go back for her.
- Rick Grimes: Carl...
- Carl Grimes: No. Why are we running? What are you doing? It's... It is mom. We need to get her and not be safe a mile away.
- Rick Grimes: [Rick whispers] Shh. You need to be quiet, all right? Please.
- Carl Grimes: Please... It's mom.
- [the group run out of fuel while on the highway]
- Carl Grimes: I'm freezing.
- Lori Grimes: We'll build a fire, yeah?
- Daryl Dixon: You go out looking for firewood, stay close. Only got so many arrows. How you doing on ammo?
- Rick Grimes: Not enough.
- Maggie Greene: We can't just sit here with our asses hanging out.
- Hershel Greene: Watch your mouth. Everyone stop panicking and listen to Rick.
- [Rick and Carl walk back to Hershel's farm house]
- Carl Grimes: You bit too?
- Rick Grimes: No.
- Carl Grimes: Shane was.
- Rick Grimes: That wasn't Shane. You know that.
- Carl Grimes: Used to be.
- [Glenn sees Maggie load up the guns]
- Glenn Rhee: Maggie
- Maggie Greene: You grow up country, you pick up a thing or two.
- Daryl Dixon: [about the Walkers] I got the number... It's no use.
- [Rick devises a plan to burn the Walkers in the barn with Carl]
- Rick Grimes: Up there. Hurry.
- Carl Grimes: Well, what about you?
- Rick Grimes: I'll be right there. Drop the lighter when I say. We'll stop some of them from reaching the house and distract the others, so at least we'll have a chance. Hey-hey-hey, look at me. You can do this. Carl... I love you. All right, go-go-go.
- [Lori and Carol search for Carl's whereabouts]
- Lori Grimes: I checked the shed.
- Carol Peletier: I can't find him anywhere. Not in the cellar or the attic.
- Lori Grimes: Why can't he listen for once? Ok okay, if he followed his daddy, he went that way.
- Carol Peletier: No, you'll lead 'em right to him. We can't stay here!
- Lori Grimes: [Lori tears up] That's my boy!
- Carol Peletier: You're gonna have to trust. If we find him, he's gonna need his mother. We've gotta go.
- Lori Grimes: Get the others.
- Lori Grimes: [Lori screams] Carl!
- [Glenn tells Maggie to drive away from the farm of Walkers]
- Glenn Rhee: Head out.
- Maggie Greene: What?
- Glenn Rhee: Get off the farm now.
- Maggie Greene: Don't say that.
- Glenn Rhee: Maggie, it's lost!
- Maggie Greene: The others... We can't leave them.
- Glenn Rhee: [Glenn screams] Get off the farm now!
- [Rick makes it back to Hershel at the farm house]
- Rick Grimes: Where's Lori? Did you see Lori?
- Hershel Greene: I don't know what happened, Rick. They just keep coming. It's like a plague. They're everywhere.
- [Rick and Hershel talk on the highway about what to do for their families]
- Rick Grimes: [Rick whispers] So we're just gonna walk away? Not knowing if my wife, your girls are still out there? How do we live with that?
- Hershel Greene: [Hershel whispers, about Carl] You've only got one concern now... Just one... Keeping him alive. Nature may be throwing us a curveball, but that law is still true.
- [Rick tells the group that there has to be a place for them to survive]
- Rick Grimes: We stay together. God forbid something happens and people get stranded without a car.
- Glenn Rhee: Rick, we're stranded now.
- Rick Grimes: I know it looks bad, we've all been through hell and worse, but at least we found each other. I wasn't sure... I really wasn't... but we did. We're together. We keep it that way. We'll find shelter somewhere. There's gotta be a place.
- Glenn Rhee: Rick, look around. Okay? There's Walkers everywhere. They're migrating or something.
- Rick Grimes: There's gotta be a place not just where we hole up, but that we fortify, hunker down, pull ourselves together, build a life for each other. I know it's out there. We just have to find it!
- Maggie Greene: Even if we do find a place and we think it's safe, we can never be sure. For how long? Look what happened with the farm. We fooled ourselves into thinking that that was safe.
- Hershel Greene: [Hershel in a low voice] We won't make that mistake again.
- [the group grows scared while sitting together out in the middle of the woods]
- Beth Greene: [branches crack in the distance] What was that?
- Daryl Dixon: Could be anything. Could be a raccoon, could be a possum.
- Glenn Rhee: Walker.
- Carol Peletier: We need to leave. I mean what are we waiting for?
- Glenn Rhee: 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 be running off in the dark.
- Hershel Greene: Rick. You've got to get your boy to safety. I'll wait here for my girls and the others. I know a few places. We'll meet up at one of them later.
- Rick Grimes: Where? Where is safe? We're not splitting up.
- Hershel Greene: Please, keep your boy safe. I'll hide in one of the cars. If a Walker gets me, so be it. I've lost my farm. I've lost my wife and maybe my daughters.
- Rick Grimes: You don't know that. They'll be here.
- Hershel Greene: And you don't know that.
- Rick Grimes: You're a man of God. Have some faith.
- Hershel Greene: I can't profess to understand God's plan, but Christ promised a resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind.
