Quotes 

• [Rick's group watches the Well-Walker's bottom half and innards go crashing back into the well] 

  Dale Horvath : We should seal off this well.

  Shane Walsh : Yeah, might be a good idea.

• [Shane ties a rope around Glenn's waist to lower him into the well] 

  Glenn : Have I mentioned that I really like your new haircut? You have a nice shaped head.

  Shane Walsh : Don't worry about it, bud. Hey, we're gonna get you out of here in one piece.

  Glenn : Living piece. That living part is important.

• [Shane asks Rick what to do for if they find Sophia bit] 

  Shane Walsh : I hate to be the one to ask, but somebody's got to. What happens if we find her and she's bit? I think we should all be clear on how we handle that.

  Rick Grimes : You do what has to be done.

  Maggie Greene : And her mother? What do you tell her?

  Andrea Harrison : The truth.

• [Patricia asks for Shane to give a speech at the funeral for Otis] 

  Patricia : [Patricia looks to Shane in tears]  You were the last one with him. You shared his final moments. Please. I need to hear. I need to know his death had meaning.

  Shane Walsh : Okay. We were about done. Almost out of ammo. We were down to pistols by then. I was limping. It was bad. Ankle all swollen up. 'We've got to save the boy.' See, that's what he said.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane hears the gunshot and growls]  He gave me his backpack. He shoved me ahead.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane hears Otis screaming]  'Run,' he said. He said, 'I'll take the rear. I'll cover you.'

  Shane Walsh : [Shane hears the Walkers snarling]  And when I looked back...

  Shane Walsh : [Shane pauses while looking at Patricia]  If not for Otis, I'd have never made it out alive. And that goes for Carl too. It was Otis. He saved us both. If any death ever had meaning, it was his.

• [Shane asks Lori if she meant it when she asked him to stay] 

  Shane Walsh : Did you mean it?

  Lori Grimes : What?

  Shane Walsh : You said 'Stay.' Did you mean it? Look, if you didn't just say so. But do it now. I need to know.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori in a low voice]  I meant it.

• [Shane asks Andrea for her weapon back] 

  Andrea Harrison : Give up our guns?

  Shane Walsh : You heard Rick. We're guests here.

  Andrea Harrison : And you're okay with it?

  Shane Walsh : I don't recall being asked. Now lay down your weapon.

  Andrea Harrison : You may like rolling over, I don't.

• [Shane sits with Andrea and shows her how to take apart her weapon] 

  Shane Walsh : Sit down. Unload your weapon.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane calms Andrea down]  Hey, hey. Check the chamber. Pull it back.

  Shane Walsh : [Andrea pulls back]  Push that lever out. It'll slide off.

  Shane Walsh : [the chamber slides off]  You're halfway there.

• [the group talks about how to kill the Well-Walker] 

  Shane Walsh : We got to get it out.

  T-Dog : Easy. Put a bullet in its head. I'll get a rope.

  Maggie Greene : Whoa whoa, guys. No.

  Glenn : Why not? It's a good plan.

  Andrea Harrison : It's a stupid plan. If that thing hasn't contaminated the water yet, blowing its brains out will finish the job.

  Shane Walsh : She's right. Can't risk it.

  T-Dog : So it has to come out alive?

  Shane Walsh : So to speak.

• [Andrea asks Shane when can she carry a weapon] 

  Andrea Harrison : So how long before I can carry?

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

  Andrea Harrison : I'm not in a very patient frame of mind these days, Shane. You might have noticed that.

  Shane Walsh : No shit. Look, I ain't worried about you offing yourself, even though you got old Dale pissing his pants lately.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  Yeah, I noticed that too.

  Andrea Harrison : He did come within a minute or so of being blown to hell because of me, to be fair.

• [Shane describes what it feels like when you fire your weapon at something moving] 

  Shane Walsh : Paper targets is one thing. Easy to hit what ain't moving. But taking down an assailant, one that-one that's trying to kill you, it's different. They say in that kind of situation things slow down. That's crap. They speed up. Adrenalin, ha. It'll cripple you if you let it. You need to use your instinct. You got to rule it out. Because somebody is going to die and you'd better hope that you're the one who's making that decision.

  Andrea Harrison : How? I mean, how do you do that?

  Shane Walsh : Turn off a switch. The switch. The one that makes you scared or angry, sympathetic, whatever. You don't think. You just... you act. 'Cause odds are somebody else is counting on you. That's your partner. That's your friend. There ain't nothing easy about taking a man's life, no matter how little value it may have. But when you get it done, you have to forget it.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  I guess I haven't quite got that last part down yet.

  Andrea Harrison : But you're getting there?
