Quotes

 * Edward: You. You live here?
 * Morgan Jones: Leave. My people have guns. Yours don't. They may be aiming rifles at you right now. Eyes at the scopes. Fingers on the trigger. Boom. It's gonna happen any second now unless you get the hell out of here and don't ever come back. You keep choosing this life, you will die.
 * Edward: We didn't choose.

....
 * Shaved head Wolf: We're freeing you. You're trapped. You need to know, people don't belong here anymore. [Carol shoots the wolf in the head and hands both Morgan and Father Gabriel pistols]
 * Maggie Greene: Carol?
 * Carol Peletier: Maggie.
 * Morgan Jones: [Morgan hands his gun over to Gabriel] Here.
 * Gabriel Stokes: I'm not very good with guns.
 * Morgan Jones: Me neither.

....
 * Spencer Monroe: Is this what it's like? Out there?
 * Rosita Espinosa: Pretty much.
 * Spencer Monroe: How do you live in a world like that?
 * Rosita Espinosa: This group... and Abraham, and this place... make sure you've got something worth dying for.

....
 * Gabriel Stokes: How did you learn how to do that?
 * Morgan Jones: From the cheesemaker.

....
 * Denise Cloyd: You're my first patient. And with that symptom, I'm pretty sure I can't kill you.
 * Eugene Porter: I mean, it is possible if you miss, like, a hematoma, or something.

....
 * Carol Peletier: You know, Shel, I could teach you how to make pasta with your own two hands. But you'd have to promise not to smoke in the house. It's just a disgusting habit. And it kills you. If you ask me, there are too many things trying to do that already, right?

....
 * Carol Peletier: Your dad used to hit you and he got himself killed. It happened. Now it's done. You live with it or it eats you up.

....
 * Denise Cloyd: Listen, I'm a little nervous here. I'm a psychiatrist. I went to med school. I was even going to be a surgeon but after the panic attacks, I got really interested in psychology. And... I think I'm really trying to lower expectations here.
 * Eugene Porter: Can you do this?
 * Tara Chambler: Eugene, shut up. She can do this.
 * Denise Cloyd: I'm all this town's got. Pete didn't want me here. But I'm here now, and I only kind of want to throw up.

....
 * Denise Cloyd: She's bleeding internally. Probably severed her femoral artery. She's dying.
 * Tara Chambler: Okay, so the artery's severed. Can it be fixed?
 * Denise Cloyd: Maybe by a surgeon.
 * Tara Chambler: You were gonna be a surgeon.
 * Denise Cloyd: But I'm not.
 * Tara Chambler: She was protecting this place. She was guarding us. That's why we're here, for each other. You're afraid? I don't care. Help her. Try! Help her!
 * Eugene Porter: [Eugene steps forward towards Denise] You don't want to be a coward. I know.
 * Denise Cloyd: I need an abdominal binder, we're gonna pull the knife.
