30 Days Without an Accident [4.01]
[edit]- Carl Grimes: You didn't wake me up.
- Rick Grimes: I knew you were up all night reading comics with a flashlight.
- Daryl Dixon: Smells good.
- Carol Peletier: Just so you know, I liked you first.
- Daryl Dixon: Stop. You know, Rick brought in a lot of them, too.
- Carol Peletier: Not recently. Give the stranger sanctuary, keep people fed, you're gonna have to learn to live with the love.
- Patrick: [to Daryl] Uh, Mr. Dixon? I just want to say thank you for bringing that deer back yesterday. It was a real treat, sir. And I'd be honored to shake your hand. [Daryl licks his fingers then shakes Patrick's hand]
- Rick Grimes: Wasn't much use without my gun.
- Daryl Dixon: No, you were. All this time you've taking off, you earned it. We wouldn't be here without you.
- Rick Grimes: It was all of us.
- Daryl Dixon: No, it was you first. You gonna help us figure this out?
- Rick Grimes: I screwed up too many times. Those calls you gotta make, I start down that road... I almost lost my boy - who he was. Whatever else this place needs, I'm here for it.
- Daryl Dixon: Like I said, you earned it. But for what it's worth, you see mistakes. I see when the shit hits, you're standing there with a shovel.
- Michonne: Any requests? Books? Comics? Some stale M&Ms?
- Carl Grimes: You're the one that likes stale M&Ms.
- Michonne: [smiles] Then I'll definitely look for some.
- Michonne: It was stupid. I was so stupid. When I fell on my ass, they should have just left me out there.
- Beth Greene: Now that's stupid. We care about you.
- Michonne: They could have gotten hurt.
- Beth Greene: When you care about people, hurt is kind of part of the package.
- Hershel Greene: We just went through something terrible. Everything we've been working so hard to keep out, it found its way in.
- Rick Grimes: No. It's always there.
- Daryl Dixon: I'm gonna take a group out. Best not waste any more time.
- Michonne: I'm in.
- Hershel Greene: You've haven't been exposed. Daryl has. You get in the car with him...
- Michonne: He's already given me fleas.
- Hershel Greene: You step outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. And nowadays you breathe, and you risk your life. Every moment now you don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for. Now I can make these people feel better and hang on a little bit longer. I can save lives. That's reason enough to risk mine. And you know that.
Indifference [4.04]
[edit]- Daryl Dixon: Those douchebags in the vines took themselves out, holding hands, kumbaya-style.
- Bob Stookey: They wanted to go out together same as they lived. That makes them douchebags?
- Daryl Dixon: It does if they could have gotten out.
- Bob Stookey: Everybody makes it, till they don't. People nowadays are dominoes. What they did, maybe it's about not having to watch them fall.
- Rick Grimes: Did you think it was right? Letting those kids come back with us?
- Carol Peletier: I think it was the humane thing to do.
- Rick Grimes: But did you think it was right?
- Carol Peletier: Look at us. Digging through drawers, hoping that... a couple of cough drops and some disinfectant might be the difference between dying and living a couple of more hours. If they're strong enough to help us survive this thing, yeah, I think you made the right call.
- Rick Grimes: And if they're not?
- Carol Peletier: Let's hope they are.
- Carol Peletier: Rick... I killed two people and you haven't said a word about it.
- Rick Grimes: What do you want me to say?
- Carol Peletier: It's not about what you say. It's about facing reality. It always comes for us and over and over again we face it so that we can live.
- Rick Grimes: So that we can live.
- Carol Peletier: That's right. That's what it always comes down to.
Internment [4.05]
[edit]- Hershel Greene: Some council meeting, huh?
- Sasha: We're two members short.
- Hershel Greene: I think we should make some new rules before they get back. I hereby declare we have spaghetti Tuesdays every Wednesday. First we have to find some spaghetti.
- Tyreese: How's Glenn doing?
- Hershel Greene: He made it through the night. He's breathing on his own now. Maggie and Bob are with him. He seems stable enough for me to get some air.
- Daryl Dixon: He's a tough son of a bitch.
- Hershel Greene: He is.
- Daryl Dixon: You're a tough son of a bitch.
- Hershel Greene: I am.
- Lilly Chambler: Where should we go?
- The Governor: Where ever they let us. There's no use making a plan.
- Lilly Chambler: Who?
- The Governor: The roads. The biters.
- Megan Chambler: [Holding up a pawn] What's this one called?
- The Governor: That's a pawn. They're your soldiers.
- Megan Chambler: Do they die?
- The Governor: Sometimes.
- Megan Chambler: Do you lose if they die?
- The Governor: [Glances in the bedroom] No, not necessarily. You can lose a lot of soldiers but still win the game.
- [Megan holds up the king]
- The Governor: That's the king. That's the guy you want to capture.
- [Megan goes to the kitchen counter, returns with a Sharpie]
- The Governor: What're you doing?
- Megan Chambler: You'll see.
- [Megan uses Sharpie on the king pieces, then holds up the king with eye patch markings]
- Megan Chambler: Looks like you.
- The Governor: Yeah.
- [He chuckles, admires the king piece]
- The Governor: Come on, let's play. [Setting up chess pieces] See, these are pawns...
Dead Weight [4.07]
[edit]- The Governor: You can't think forever. Sooner or later, you've got to make a move.
- Megan Chambler: You never let me win anyway.
- The Governor: Well, that wouldn't be winning. That's what my daddy used to say. He used to beat me at chess, too. Heck, he used to beat me at everything.
- Megan Chambler: Was your dad mean?
- The Governor: Sometimes.
- Megan Chambler: Were you bad?
- The Governor: Sometimes.
- Pete Dolgen: Man, what happened here? I mean, what the hell is going on in this cabin? Were they storing those biters?
- Caesar Martinez: They were his wife and kid, man.
- Pete Dolgen: No, they were biters. What about those heads?
- Caesar Martinez: Belonged to the guys who did the wrong thing to the wrong man.
- The Governor: Probably best not think too much about it.
- Mitch Dolgen: Better listen to One Eye Bri, Pete. I can never tell if he's winking or blinking. But you know how to regulate. Don't you, Bri? He was always like this, Martinez?
- Caesar Martinez: Oh, yeah. Ice in the veins. You should have seen him back in the day.
- Mitch Dolgen: End of the world don't mean shit when you got a tank.
- Pete Dolgen: I was Army, too. Stationed out of Fort Benning. Stayed for a while after it all started.
- Mitch Dolgen: That's my Pete. He's too loyal to bounce.
- The Governor: I remember the first smoke I ever had. Me and my brother huddled in the garage puffing on one of my dad's Lucky Strikes. He must have smelled the smoke, because he came barging in looking to beat up on us. But my brother got between us. Said he stole them. Wasn't true. It was me. But that was my brother. Hero. He got two black eyes and a broken rib for that. And I got beat anyway.
Too Far Gone [4.08]
[edit]- Glenn Rhee: I could use a vacation. Get away. Just for a weekend.
- Maggie Greene: Yeah.
- Glenn Rhee: You know, our anniversary is coming up.
- Maggie Greene: It is?
- Glenn Rhee: One of these days.
- Maggie Greene: You've ever been to Amicalola Falls? Tallest waterfalls in Georgia.
- Glenn Rhee: Mm-mmm.
- Maggie Greene: My Dad took me there when I was little. When we were up there, all the way at the top looking down, I felt like I was flying.
- Glenn Rhee: I'll go load up the station wagon.
- Hershel Greene: If you understand what it's like to have a daughter, then how can you threaten to kill someone else's?
- The Governor: Because they aren't mine.
- The Governor: Rick! Come down here. We need to talk.
- Rick Grimes: It's not up to me. There's a council now. They run this place.
- The Governor: Is Hershel on the council? What about Michonne? She on the council, too?
- Rick Grimes: I don't make decisions anymore.
- The Governor: You're making the decisions today, Rick. Come down here. Let's have that talk.
- Rick Grimes: [points to Tara] You. You in the ponytails. Is this what you want? Is this what any one of you want?
- Mitch Dolgen: What we want is what you got. Period. Time for you to leave, asshole.
- Rick Grimes: Look, I fought him before. And after, we took in his old friends. They've become leaders in what we have here. Now you put down your weapons, walk through those gates you're one of us. We let go of all of it, and nobody dies. Everyone who's alive right now. Everyone who's made it this far. We've all done the worst kinds of things just to stay alive. But we can still come back. We're not too far gone. We get to come back. I know we all can change.
- [The Governor looks at Michonne's sword, and there is a tense pause]
- The Governor: [quietly] Liar.
[decapitates Hershel]
- Rick Grimes: NO! [draws his revolver & fires at the Governor]
- The Governor: Go through the fences. Get in your cars, get your guns. We go in, kill them all!
- Rick Grimes: Don't look back, Carl. Just keep walking.
- Carl Grimes: I tied the door shut.
- Rick Grimes: We don't need to take any chances.
- Carl Grimes: You don't think it'll hold?
- Rick Grimes: Carl.
- Carl Grimes: It's a strong knot. Clove hitch. Shane taught me. Remember him?
- Rick Grimes: Yeah, I remember him. I remember him every day.
- Beth Greene: [writing in her diary] Hey. I know it's been a while. I'm gonna be honest, I forgot about you. After the farm, we were always moving. But something happened. Something good. Finally. We found a prison. Daddy thinks that we can make it into a home. He says we can grow crops in the field, find pigs and chickens, stop running, stop scavenging. Lori's baby is just about due. She'll need a safe place when it comes. The rest of us, we just need a safe place to be. I woke up in my own bed yesterday. My own bed in my own room. But I've been keeping my backpack. Keeping my gun close. I've been afraid to get my hopes up thinking we can actually stay here. The thing is, I've been starting to get afraid that it's easier just to be afraid. But this morning Daddy said something. If you don't have hope, what's the point of living? So I unpacked my bag and I found you. So I'm gonna start writing in you again. And I'm gonna write this down now because you should write down wishes to make them come true. We can live here. We can live here for the rest of our lives.
- Tara Chambler: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Brian, that man, told us you were bad people. I know it's not true. I can see it's not, so what we did, what I did I mean, I'm a piece of shit. Why would you want my help?
- Glenn Rhee: I don't want it, I need it. I have to find Maggie.
- Tara Chambler: Who's Maggie?
- Glenn Rhee: She's my wife.
- Tara Chambler: You guys got separated?
- Glenn Rhee: I was on the bus and then I got off to help and she didn't see me.
- Tara Chambler: How do you know if she made it?
- Glenn Rhee: I don't know. But Hershel, Maggie's father, was a great man. And he told me all I had to do was believe, and that's what I'm gonna do.
- Abraham Ford: Son of a dick!
- Michonne: I'm sorry. I'm not very good at making boys your age laugh.
- Carl Grimes: I was laughing. Inside.
- Michonne: Toddlers find me funny. Two, three-year-olds.
- Carl Grimes: What do you mean toddlers?
- Michonne: I had a three-year-old son and he happened to find me extremely funny.
- Abraham Ford: So you tell me how in the holy hell did you possibly kill this truck?
- Eugene Porter: A fully amped-up state and an ignorance of rapid-firing weapons.
- Beth Greene: So you want to spend the rest of our lives staring into a fire and eating mud snakes? Screw that.
- Beth Greene: [to Daryl] I know you look at me and you just see another dead girl. I'm not Michonne. I'm not Carol. I'm not Maggie. I've survived and you don't get it 'cause I'm not like you or them. But I made it and you don't get to treat me like crap just because you're afraid.
- Beth Greene: You're gonna miss me so bad when I'm gone, Daryl Dixon.
- Daryl Dixon: Merle had this dealer. This janky little white guy. A tweaker. One day we were over at his house watching TV. Wasn’t even noon yet and we were all wasted. Merle was high. We were watching this show and Merle was talking all this dumb stuff about it. And he wouldn’t let up. Merle never could. Turns out it was the tweaker’s kid’s favorite show. And he never sees his kids, so he felt guilty about it or something. So he punches Merle in the face. So I started hitting the tweaker like, hard. As hard as I can. Then he pulls a gun, sticks it right here. He says, "I’m gonna kill you, bitch." So Merle pulls his gun on him. Everyone’s yelling. I’m yelling. I thought I was dead. Over a dumb cartoon about a talking dog. The tweaker punched me in the gut. I puked. They both started laughing and forgot all about it.
- Daryl Dixon: Peanut butter and jelly, diet soda, and pig's feet. That's a white trash brunch right there.
- Beth Greene: [smiles] It all looks good to me.
- Joe: [to Daryl] A bowman. I respect that. See a man with a rifle, he could have been some kind of photographer or a soccer coach back in the day. But a bowman’s a bowman through and through.
- Joe: Why hurt yourself when you can hurt other people?
- Lizzie Samuels: Did you have kids?
- Carol Peletier: I did. A kid. A daughter.
- Lizzie Samuels: What was she like?
- Carol Peletier: She was sweet. She didn't have a mean bone in her body.
- Lizzie Samuels: Is that why she isn't here now?
- Mika Samuels: When we were giving them names, we were just pretending things weren't bad. Things are bad. Those things, they're bad. They are. We can't pretend anymore.
- Lizzie Samuels: I'm not pretending. You were.
- Tyreese: The whole world is haunted now.
- Eugene Porter: I'm well aware it sounds bananas. But looking at the fossil record, knowing what I know about this infection, you cannot say for certain it isn't what killed off the dinosaurs. Now, do I believe that's what happened? No. But it's enjoyable as hell to think about an undead ankylosaur going after a diplodocus. That there is a video game worth a pre-order.
- Joe: See, going it alone, that ain't an option nowadays. Still, it is survival of the fittest. That's a paradox right there. So I laid out some rules of the road to keep things from going Darwin every couple hours. Keep our merry band together and stress-free. All you got to do is claim. That's how you mark your territory, your prey, your bed at night. One word, claimed.
- Daryl Dixon: There ain't no us.
- Joe: You leaving right now? No? Then it sure seems like there's an us.You a cat person, Daryl? I am. Loved 'em since I was three years old. Vicious creatures. Anyway, I'll tell you, and this is true, ain't nothing sadder than an outdoor cat that thinks he's an indoor cat.
- Joe: [with regard to Len] Well teach him a lesson, gents. He's a lying sack of shit. I'm sick of it. Teach him all the way.
- Joe: Seems to me like things are finally starting to fall together. At least for guys like us.
- Mary: Welcome to Terminus.
- Joe: [to Rick] Look, we can settle this. We're reasonable men. First, we're gonna beat Daryl to death. Then we'll have the girl. Then the boy. Then I'm gonna shoot you and then we'll be square.
- Joe: [to Rick] What the hell are you gonna do now, sport?
- [Rick lunges forward and rips open Joe's throat with his teeth, killing him]
- Dan: [holds Carl at knifepoint] I'll kill him!
- Michonne: [to Dan while aiming a revolver at him] Let the boy go.
- Rick Grimes: [to Michonne as he prepares to gut Carl's captor] He's MINE.
- Michonne: We went to a refugee camp. Andre and my boyfriend Mike, that was Andre's father, and our friend Terry. At the camp, it just got worse and worse. People were leaving. People giving up. But I didn't. I was coming back from a run. I saw the fences were down. I heard the moans. It was over. And Mike and Terry, they were high when it happened. They were bit. Could have stopped it. Could have killed them. But I let them turn. I made it so they couldn't bite, couldn't scratch. I tied chains around their necks. It was insane. It was sick. It felt like what I deserved, dragging them around so that I would always know. I found out that they kept me safe. They hid me. The walkers didn't see me anymore. I was just another monster.
- Rick Grimes: They're gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out...
- Abraham Ford: Find out what?
- Rick Grimes: They're screwin' (fuckin') with the wrong people.
