Jamie McShane: Lt. Moyers

Quotes 

• [Lt. Moyers makes a joke at Travis] 

  Lt. Moyers : Okay, Manawa. Let's go see the doc.

  Travis Manawa : What? I thought you said you couldn't do that.

  Lt. Moyers : No, I said you couldn't do that. I can do anything I want. I got guns. I mean, Christ, man. The dead may be walking among us, still United States of America.

• [Lt. Moyers reminds Travis the situation of the morale amongst the soldiers] 

  Lt. Moyers : Travis, I'm gonna shout straight with you, okay? You've been very helpful to me. Okay. I don't like doing knock-knock raids on civilians. It's bad for morale. But look at these guys. These guys are not warriors, these are kids. These are little kids who want to go home to mama. Okay? Or what's left of her. Dark thoughts, Travis. That's my enemy here. Okay? So the best thing I can do is keep these kids out in the field kicking ass and shooting holes in skin bags.

  Lt. Moyers : [Lt. Moyers walks by one of the younger kid soldiers]  Cheer up, son. I've been places where they shoot back.

• [Lt. Moyers begins to feel threatened by Travis] 

  Travis Manawa : Can you help me get my people back or not?

  Lt. Moyers : I get that you got issues with protocol, but I can't concern myself with civilian problems.

  Travis Manawa : If the ones you took don't come back soon, you're going to have more than me to worry about. You took 11 people. It's a tight-knit community. A lot of kids. Probably be bad for morale if they all came down here.

  Lt. Moyers : That a threat?

  Travis Manawa : No, sir. I'm just being helpful.

• [Lt. Moyers looks to Castro, his second in command] 

  Lt. Moyers : Mr. Mayor here would like to go downtown.

  Castro : Sir.

  Lt. Moyers : Yeah?

  Castro : Maybe we can get somebody else this time. First squad's pretty banged up. My men have been awake for 50 hours, sir. We lost Nevins last night.

  Lt. Moyers : [Lt. Moyers stops and pulls out a handkerchief]  50? Here you go. Take that. You got to share it. 'Cause I only have one.

  Lt. Moyers : [Lt. Moyers pushes Castro in the chest]  Get your ass back in the truck.

• [Travis is forced to shoot the 50. Cal rifle by Lt. Moyers] 

  Castro : This is a 50. Cal, so cheek on the stock. Tight to the shoulder. Press the trigger don't pull. Open your mouth.

  PFC Richards : Pressure differential. Pop your damn retina, man.

  Castro : [Travis holds his cheek down, mouth open, and looks doubt the sights, aiming, seeing an infected diner girl in the distance when he takes a breath]  That ain't a person.

  [Travis tries to aim, but fails to pull the trigger when he see's the nametag on the infected girl] 

  Lt. Moyers : That's what I thought.

• [Lt. Moyers shows Travis the painted skulls on each tank from the soldiers under his command] 

  Lt. Moyers : Okay, look what we do here. Look. 83 of these. 83 of the rotten bastards, all confirmed.

  Travis Manawa : That's a lot.

  Lt. Moyers : [Lt. Moyers smiles, getting in Travis' face]  Yeah, that's a lot. That's a company record.
