Quotes 

• [Rick and the group find and meet Father Gabriel for the first time] 

  Rick Grimes : Do you have any weapons on you?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Do I look like I would have any weapons.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We don't give two short and curlies what it looks like.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I have no weapons of any kind. The word of God is the only protection I need.

  Daryl Dixon : Sure didn't look like it.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I called for help. Help came.

  Rick Grimes : How many walkers have you killed?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Not any, actually.

  Rick Grimes : Turn around. How many have you killed?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : None.

  Rick Grimes : Why?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Because the Lord abhors violence.

  Rick Grimes : What have you done? We've all done something.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I'm a sinner. I sin almost every day. But those sins, I confess them to God, not strangers.

  [Rick and the group stay weary of Father Gabriel and continue to move on] 

• [Rick and his group arrive with Abraham and his group at the church together, Abraham forms a plan to keep pushing and move forward to Washington] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We found a short bus out back. It don't run, but I bet we can fix it in less than a day or two. Father here says he doesn't want it. Looks like we found some transport. You understand what's at stake here, right?

  Rick Grimes : Yes, I do.

  Michonne : [Rick and his group begin to walk into the church one after another]  Now that we can take a breath...

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We take a breath, we slow down, shit inevitably goes down.

  Michonne : We need supplies. No matter what we do next.

  Rick Grimes : That's right. Water, food, ammunition.

  Daryl Dixon : Short bus ain't going nowhere. Bring you back some baked beans.

  Glenn Rhee : One way or another, we're doing what Rick does. We're not splitting up again.

  Tara Chambler : What he said.

  Bob Stookey : We want to roll with you, but... what she said.

  [Abraham smiles and follows the group into the church] 

• [Abraham cheers to Rick's group in the church, referring to them all as the survivors] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : [Abraham continues to give a speech]  Is that all you want to be? Wake up in the morning, fight the undead pricks, forage for food, go to sleep with two eyes open, rinse and repeat? 'Cause you can do that. I mean, you got the strength. You got the skill. Thing is, for you people, for what you can do, that's just surrender. Now, we get Eugene to Washington and he make the dead die and the living will have this world again. And that is not a bad takeaway for a little road trip. Eugene, what's in D.C.?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Infrastructure constructed to withstand pandemics even for this fubar magnitude. That means fuel, food, refuge. Restart.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : However this plays out, however long it takes for the reset button to kick in, you can be safe there. Safer than you've been since this whole thing started. Come with us. Save the world for that little one. Save it for yourselves. Save it for the people out there, who don't got nothing left to do except survive.

  [Rick smiles as the group sits in silence, Rick then hears Judith murmur out some baby talk] 

  Rick Grimes : What was that? I think she knows what I'm about to say. She's in. If she's in, I'm in. We're in.

  [Rick's group begins to clap with joy]
