Maggie Greene quotes from The Walking Dead

Maggie Greene

[to Glenn] I`ll have sex with you.

Maggie Greene

[to Tara] Glenn saves people. Even people like that. I couldn't accept it either. But then I thought about you. How we were on different sides of that fence on the worst day of my life. And now you're one of the most important people in the world to me. Things can get better. We can make them better.

Maggie Greene

What's going on with you?

Glenn Rhee

Your dad saved my life today. And Rick saved us both. And I - I froze.

Maggie Greene

Well, you were being shot at.

Glenn Rhee

No, that...

Maggie Greene

You don't have anything to prove.

Glenn Rhee

All I've done - and then this. Okay? It's because of what you said.

Maggie Greene

That I love you?

Glenn Rhee

Yeah. A bullet hit the wall behind me and I - I thought of you - losing me, hurting. And I couldn't take it, so I hid to stay alive.

Maggie Greene

[Reaching out to embrace him] Glenn...

Glenn Rhee

[Backs away from her] No, no, no. No, you don't get it. Rick, your dad - they were counting on me and I - I only thought of myself.

Maggie Greene

I'm not sitting here, waiting for another herd to blow through. We need to move, now.

Rick Grimes

No one is going anywhere.

Carol Peletier

Do something.

Rick Grimes

I am doing something! I'm keeping this group together. Alive! I've been doing that all along, no matter what; I didn't ask for this! I killed my best friend for you people, for Christ sake! You saw how he was like. How he pushed me, how he compromised us, how he threatened us. He staged the whole Randall thing, led me out to put a bullet in my back. He gave me no choice! He was my friend, but he came after me. My hands are clean. Maybe you people are better off without me. Go ahead. I say there's a place for us, but maybe... maybe it's just another pipe dream. Maybe... Maybe I'm fooling myself again. Why don't... why don't you go out and find out yourself. Send me a postcard! Go on, there's the door. You can do better. Let's see how far you get. No takers? Fine. But get one thing straight. You're staying, this isn't a democracy anymore.

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.

Gabriel Stokes

This is the Lord's house!

Maggie Greene

No. It's just four walls and a roof.

Maggie Greene

I know why you have the haircut.

Eugene Porter

I told you, it's 'cause I like it.

Maggie Greene

I believe that. I like it, too. I think you like it for a reason. You're not the person people think you are. You want 'em to know who you are.

Eugene Porter

Not following you.

Maggie Greene

If you didn't have that mullet, you'd probably be like everybody else in the labs. But you're not like everybody else. I think a lot of people in your position probably woulda given up, but you didn't.

Eugene Porter

There were people-- a lot of them along the way-- they made sure I didn't give up. It wasn't me remotely.

Maggie Greene

It was. You started this thing. And you're not like Samson. He was kind of a mess.

Eugene Porter

Not following you.

Maggie Greene

Well, his story goes that one day when a lion attacked him, God gave him strength and he tore it apart. Then he goes back one day, he's by himself, and he sees that bees have made a hive in the carcass. So later he tells this riddle to people. "Out of the eater, something to eat. Out of the strong, something sweet." And I always thought, "How the hell are people supposed to know the answer when it's just about his own life? When the only place the answer is, is in his own head?"

Gabriel Stokes

If you ever want to talk about your father or about Beth -

Maggie Greene

Please, stop.

Gabriel Stokes

Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

Maggie Greene

You never even met them.

Gabriel Stokes

I know you're in pain.

Maggie Greene

You don't know shit. You had a job. You were there to save your flock, right? But you didn't. You hid. Don't act like that didn't happen.

Rick Grimes

We heard the name Negan. A while back, Daryl and Abraham had a run-in with his men. Who is he?

Negan's the head of a group of people he calls the Saviors. As soon as the walls were built, the Saviors showed up. They met with Gregory on behalf of their boss. They made a lot of demands, even more threats. And he killed one of us-- Rory. He was 16 years old. They beat him to death right in front of us. Said we needed to understand, right off the bat. Gregory's not exactly good at confrontation. He's not the leader I would've chosen, but he helped make this place what it is, and the people like him.

Maggie

He made the deal.

Half of everything. Our supplies, our crops, our livestock, it goes to the Saviors.

Glenn

And what do you get in return?

They don't attack this place. They don't kill us.

Daryl Dixon

Why not just kill them?

Most of the people here don't even know how to fight, even if we had ammo.

Rick Grimes

Well, how many people does Negan have?

We don't know. We've seen groups as big as 20.

Daryl Dixon

Now, hold up. So, they show up, they kill a kid, and you give them half of everything? These dicks just got a good story. The bogeyman, he ain't shit.

Well, how do you know?

Abraham

A month ago, we took his guys out PDQ. Left them in pieces and puddles.

Daryl Dixon

You know, we'll do it. If we go get your man back, kill Negan, take out his boys, will you hook us up? We want food, medicine, and one of them cows.

Rick Grimes

Confrontation's never been something we've had trouble with.

Maggie

You give us supplies, we'll save Craig and take care of Negan and the Saviors, permanently.

I'm sorry, I find this whole conversation pretty funny. I mean, you balked when I proposed that your people work for our supplies, but now isn't that exactly what's happening here? See, I had leverage and I used it. See? It wasn't personal.

Maggie

Yes. We need food. You have it. We're willing to work for it.

Then I'll get supplies for your people.

Maggie

Good.

I'll talk to Jesus and he'll make the arrangements. See, this was fun. Exciting.

Maggie

Half.

Excuse me?

Maggie

Half of what you have. I saw what happened out there. Negan's expecting more supplies from this place. And more and more. And if it keeps going like that, pretty soon you won't have anything left. What happens then? Without ammo, without fighters you'd be a dead man. So half of everything you have right now or the deal's off. You see? I have leverage.

You're some kind of stupid, getting knocked up at a time like this. You think that's funny?

Maggie Greene

When was it ever smart to get knocked up? Women used to just die in childbirth. And they always thought the world was gonna end. Living through it, why would you just give up?

But are you gonna live through it? Anyway, that's cute. Babies are the point. Children are our future. Making bite-size snacks for the dead. The point is to stay standing.

Maggie Greene

No. Walkers do that. I'm choosing something.
