Quotes[]
- Alex: We should never have put up the signs. What the hell did we think was gonna happen? We brought them here.
- Gareth: We were trying to do something good. We were being human beings.
- Alex: What are we now, Gareth?
....
- Gareth: We saw you go into the woods with a bag and come out without it. Had to pull my spotters back before we could go look for it. What was in it? You hid it, right? In case things went bad? Smart. Still, we'll find it. But it's too dangerous to go out there right now. [pulls Bob forward with a knife aiming to his eye] What was in it? I'm curious. And it was a big bag. [pause] You really gonna let me do this?
- Rick Grimes: Let me take you out there. I'll show you.
- Gareth: Not gonna happen, but this might. [brings the knife closer to Bob's eye]
- Rick Grimes: There's guns in it. AK-47... 44 Magnum. Automatic weapons. Nightscope. There's a compound bow and a machete with a red handle. That's what I'm gonna use to kill you.
- Gareth: [Chuckles before putting the rag back over Rick's mouth] Thanks.
....
- Mary: The signs... they were real. It was a sanctuary. People came and took this place.
- Carol Peletier: Just tell me where...
- Mary: And they raped and they killed, and they laughed over weeks. But we got out and we fought it and we got it back. And we heard the message. You're the butcher... or you're the cattle.
- Carol Peletier: The men they pulled from that train car where are they? [Carol shoots Mary in the leg screaming at her] Where are they?
- Mary: Now... point it at my head. [Mary begins chuckling] You could have been one of us. You could have listened to what the world is telling you.
- Carol Peletier: You lead people here and you take what they have and you kill them. Is that what this place is?
- Mary: No, not at first. It's what it had to be. And we're still here.
- Carol Peletier: You're not here. Neither am I. [Carol sets down the gun she's holding and walks to open the building door as a group of Walkers stumble inside, ignoring Carol who's covered in Walker blood]
- Mary: No! No! No!
....
- Eugene Porter: I was part of a 10-person team at the Human Genome Project to weaponize diseases to fight weaponized diseases. Pathogenic microorganisms with pathogenic microorganisms. Fire with fire. Interdepartmental drinks were had, relationships made, information shared. I am keenly aware of the all details behind fail-safe delivery systems to kill every living person on this planet. I believe with a little tweaking on the terminals in D.C., we can flip the script. Take out every last dead one of them. Fire with fire. [Eugene looks at Tara] All things being equal, it does sound pretty badass.
....
- Eugene Porter: Even if I told you all, even if I provided step-by-step instructions complete with illustrations and a well-composed FAQ and I went red-ring, the cure would still die with me.
- Abraham Ford: I'm not gonna let that happen.
- Eugene Porterr: The best-case scenario, we step out in a hellstorm of bullets, fire, and walkers. I'm not a fleet of foot. I sure as hell can't take a dead one down with sharp buttons and hella confidence.
- Michonne: Yeah, but we can and we will.
