- Rick Grimes: We can work with the Hilltop. Maggie hammered out a deal. We're getting food - Eggs, butter, fresh vegetables. But they're not just giving it away. These Saviors, they almost killed Sasha, Daryl, and Abraham on the road. Now, sooner or later, they would've found us, just like those Wolves did, just like Jesus did. They would've killed someone or some of us. And then they will try to own us. And we would try to stop them. But by then, in that kind of fight, low on food, we could lose. This is the only way to be sure, as sure as we can get, that we win. And we have to win. We do this for the Hilltop, it's how we keep this place. It's how we feed this place. This needs to be a group decision. If anybody objects, here's your chance to say your peace.

- Morgan Jones: You're sure we can do it? We can beat them?
- Rick Grimes: What this group has done, what we've learned, what we've become, all of us - Yes, I'm sure.
- Morgan Jones: Then all we have to do is just tell them that.
- Rick Grimes: Well, they don't compromise.
