Quotes

 * Carol Peletier: [wearing a light blue buttoned sweater] Time to punch the clock and make the casseroles.
 * Daryl Dixon: What?
 * Carol Peletier: Make dinner for the older people. Moms who need a break, people who can't cook. Get to meet a lot of the neighbors that way.
 * Daryl Dixon: [scoffs] All right.
 * Carol Peletier: Have you taken a shower yet?
 * Daryl Dixon: Mhmm.
 * Carol Peletier: [notices that he looks no different than when they arrived] Take a shower, I'm gonna wash that vest. We need to keep up appearances, even you.
 * Daryl Dixon: Hey, I ain't starting now.
 * Carol Peletier: I'm gonna hose you down in your sleep.
 * Daryl Dixon: You look ridiculous!

....
 * Deanna Monroe: How long have you been out there?
 * Rick Grimes: Since the beginning.
 * Deanna Monroe: How did you all find each other? Did you know each other before or - ?
 * Rick Grimes: We didn't know each other before.
 * Deanna Monroe: I was a congress person. Ohio, 15th district. You?
 * Rick Grimes: I don't think it matters anymore.
 * Deanna Monroe: Oh, I know it does.
 * Rick Grimes: What is this place?
 * Deanna Monroe This is the start of sustainability. That's what the brochures we found say. This was a planned community. With it's own solar grid, cisterns, eco-based sewage filtration. Starting at the low 800,000s...
 * Deanna Monroe: [Deanna chuckles] If there is such a thing. And they sold them all.
 * Rick Grimes: How did you end up here?
 * Deanna Monroe: Well, my family and I were trying to get back to Ohio so I could help my district manage the crisis. And... the army stopped us on a back road and directed us here. They were supposed to come later. They didn't. But there were supplies here and we made the best of it.
 * Rick Grimes: You put up the wall?
 * Deanna Monroe: Well, there was this huge shopping mall being built nearby. And my husband Reg is a professor of architecture. And who he was mattered quite a bit. He got the first plates up with our sons. And after a few weeks, more people arrived and we had help. We had a community.
 * Rick Grimes: You've been behind these walls this entire time?
 * Deanna Monroe: We need people who have lived out there. Your group is the first we've even considered taking in for a long time.
 * Rick Grimes: You should keep your gates closed.
 * Deanna Monroe: Why?
 * Rick Grimes: Because it's all about survival now. At any cost. People out there are always looking for an angle. Looking to play on your weakness. They measure you by what they can take from you. By how they can use you to live. So bringing people into a place like this now...
 * Deanna Monroe: Are you telling me not to bring your people in? Are you already looking after this place? Aaron says I can trust you.
 * Rick Grimes: Aaron doesn't know me. I've killed people. I don't even know how many by now. But I know why they're all dead. They're dead so my family, all those people out there, can be alive. So I could be alive for them.
 * Deanna Monroe: Sounds like I'd want to be part of your family.

....
 * Rick Grimes: We good?
 * Daryl Dixon: Yeah. You a cop again?
 * Rick Grimes: I'm trying it on for size.
 * Carol Peletier: So we're staying?
 * Rick Grimes: I think we can start sleeping in our own homes. Settle in.
 * Carol Peletier: We get comfortable here, we let our guard down, this place is gonna make us weak.
 * Rick Grimes: Carl said that. But it's not gonna happen. We won't get weak, that's not in us anymore. We'll make it work. And if they can't make it... then we'll just take this place.
