Quotes 

• [the bit Ryan Samuels asks for Carol to look after his two daughters Lizzie and Mika] 

  Ryan Samuels : Lizzie and Mika, you care about them. I've seen it. I don't have anybody else. Kids on their own, they don't have a chance. Can you look out for them? Like they're yours?

  Carol Peletier : [Carol with tears in her eyes]  Yeah. Yeah, I can. I will.

• [Mika tries to calm Lizzie down while Carol stabs their father's brain] 

  Mika Samuels : Lizzie? Lizzie, it's okay. Breathe. Look at the flowers. Count one, two, three with me. One, two...

  Lizzie Samuels : [Lizzie cries]  Daddy, no!

  Mika Samuels : Lizzie, look at the flowers. Count one, two, three with me. One, two, three.

  Carol Peletier : [when Carol stabs the father's brain]  Look at the flowers, Lizzie.

  Lizzie Samuels : [Lizzie screams]  No!

  Mika Samuels : Look at the flowers!

  [as the two girls cry while holding onto each other] 

• [the council discuss what to do with the group members that are showing symptoms] 

  Hershel Greene : Is anyone else showing symptoms that we know of?

  Carol Peletier : We can't just wait and see. And there's children. It isn't just the illness. If people die, they become a threat.

  Hershel Greene : We need a place for them to go. They can't stay in D. We can't risk going in there to clean it up.

  Carol Peletier : We can use cell block A.

  Glenn Rhee : Death row? I'm not sure that's much of an upgrade.

  Daryl Dixon : It's clean. That's an upgrade.

• [Daryl asks Carol if she's all right, when she asks him the same thing] 

  Daryl Dixon : You all right?

  Carol Peletier : I'm worried about Lizzie and Mika. They were around Patrick.

  Daryl Dixon : We all were. Karen and David are gonna be separated till they feel better.

  Carol Peletier : You're right. Are you okay?

  Daryl Dixon : Mm-hmm. Got to be.

• [Carol gives Lizzie the knife to stab her father's brain] 

  Carol Peletier : You know what I have to do. What we're always supposed to do. You can wait outside if you want. Okay?

  Lizzie Samuels : We should be the ones.

  Mika Samuels : [Mike cries]  No. I can't.

  Carol Peletier : Lizzie, are you sure?

  Lizzie Samuels : You taught us. I can do it.

  Carol Peletier : [Carol walks Lizzie over to her dead father]  Okay, well, you have to do it now. You need to do it right now because you have to do it before he turns. I'm gonna stay right here. You remember what I showed you?

  [Lizzie hesitates before stepping back shivering] 

• [the council discuss how they all may be infected with the sickness] 

  Carol Peletier : Patrick was fine yesterday, and he died overnight. Two people died that quick? We'll have to separate everyone that's been exposed.

  Daryl Dixon : That's everyone in that cell block. That's all of us. Maybe more.

  Hershel Greene : [the council looks around to each other]  We know that this sickness can be lethal. We don't know how easily it spreads.

• [Carol tells Lizzie that she's going to prepare to bury her father] 

  Carol Peletier : Gonna bury your dad. You can visit, bring him flowers.

  Carol Peletier : [as Lizzie remains silent]  Lizzie, we're gonna have to talk about what happened in there. Your daddy asked me to protect you like you're my own and I will.

• [Carol tells Lizzie that she's weak] 

  Carol Peletier : It's time someone told you the truth. Honey, you're weak.

  Carol Peletier : [Lizzie sniffles]  You lost your nerve. You have to trust your gut and you have to act fast every time. That's life and death.

  Lizzie Samuels : [Lizzie cries]  He's dead.

  Carol Peletier : [Carol hugs Lizzie]  I know, and I'm sorry. But if you want to live, you have to become strong.

  Lizzie Samuels : He's dead. He's dead. He was special and now he's dead.

• [Lizzie cries over the dead Walker Nick to her sister Mika] 

  Lizzie Samuels : [Lizzie looks to Mika]  Why'd they kill him? Why'd they kill Nick?

  Mika Samuels : You're so stupid.

  Carol Peletier : Nick?

  Mika Samuels : [Carol looks to Mika]  She's messed up. She's not weak.

• [Carol tells Carl that she needs to teach the kids how to survive] 

  Carol Peletier : I have to keep teaching those kids to survive. You know that.

  Carl Grimes : Did you tell their parents?

  Carol Peletier : No.

  Carl Grimes : Are you gonna tell them?

  Carol Peletier : If I do, maybe after this they'll understand. But maybe they won't. I don't want to take that risk.

  Carl Grimes : That's between you and them.

  Carol Peletier : No. It's between you and me. If you tell your dad, he'll tell them. And like I said, maybe they'll understand, maybe they won't.

  Carl Grimes : I don't want to lie to my dad.

  Carol Peletier : I'm not asking you to lie. I'm asking you not to say anything.

• [Carol tries to tell Lizzie that the dead are Walkers] 

  Carol Peletier : Lizzie, those are Walkers. Nick was a Walker. You don't feel bad about that Walker dying. You feel bad about your dad. You loved him and he's gone.

  Lizzie Samuels : Yeah.
