Shane Walsh quotes from The Walking Dead

Shane Walsh

Hell, when you really look at it in the cold light of day, you're pretty much dead already.

Rick Grimes

What's the difference between men and women?

Shane Walsh

Is this a joke?

Rick Grimes

No, serious.

Shane Walsh

Never met a woman who knew how to turn off a light. Born thinking the switch only goes one way: on. Come home, house all lit up, and my job, you see, apparently because my chromosomes happen to be different is that I gotta walk through that house and turn off every single light this chick left on.

Rick Grimes

Is that right?

Shane Walsh

Yeah, baby. Oh Reverend Shane is a-preachin' to ya now, boy. Then this same chick, mind ya, she'll bitch about, uh, Global Warming. This is where Reverend Shane wants to quote from the Guy Gospel and say, "Uh, darlin' maybe if you and every other pair of boobs on this planet could just figure out that the light switch, see, goes both ways, maybe we wouldn't have so much Global Warming?"

Rick Grimes

You say that?

Shane Walsh

The polite version. Still, that earns me this look of loathing you would not believe and that's when the Exorcist voice pops out "You sound just like my damn Father! Always yellin' about the power bill and tellin' me to turn off the damn lights!"

Rick Grimes

What do you say to that?

Shane Walsh

I know what I want to say. What I want to say, "Bitch, you mean to tell me you've been hearing this your entire life and you are still too damn stupid to learn how to turn off a switch?"

Shane Walsh

Jim, nobody is gonna hurt you, okay?

That's a lie. That's the biggest lie there is. I told that to my wife and my two boys. I said it 100 times. It didn't matter. They came out of nowhere. There were dozens of 'em. Just pulled 'em right out of my hands. You know, the only reason I got away was 'cause the dead were too busy eating my family.

Dale Horvath

[referring to Otis] You've been vague about that night about what happened.

Shane Walsh

Otis died a hero.

Dale Horvath

So you've said.

Shane Walsh

A little boy lived because of what went down that night. I think you oughta show some gratitude.

Dale Horvath

I wasn't there.

Shane Walsh

No man, you weren't.

Dale Horvath

But I was the time you raised your gun on Rick. You had him in your sights... and you held him there. I know what kind of man you are.

Shane Walsh

You think I'd shoot Rick? That is my best friend. That's the man that I love, I love him like he's my brother. You think that's the kind of man I am?

Dale Horvath

That's right.

Shane Walsh

[menacingly] Well maybe we oughta just think that through. See, if I'm the kind of man that would gun down his own best friend, what'd you think I do to some guy I don't even like when he starts throwing accusations my way. What'd you think?

Shane Walsh

These things ain't sick! They're not people! THEY'RE DEAD!! All they do, THEY KILL!! These things right here! they're the things that killed Amy! They killed Otis!! They're gonna kill all of us.

Rick Grimes

Shane, STOP!!

Shane Walsh

Hey, Hershel. Man, let me ask you something. could a living, breathing person, could they walk away from this?

Rick Grimes

STOP IT!!

Shane Walsh

That's 3 rounds in the chest. Someone who's a alive, could they just take that?!! Why is it still coming?!!

Shane Walsh

That's its heart, its lungs!! Why is it still coming?!!

Rick Grimes

Shane, enough!!

Shane Walsh

Yeah, you're right, man. That is enough.

Shane Walsh

Enough risking our lives for a little girl who's GONE!!! Enough living next to a barn full of things that are trying to kill us!! Enough! Rick, it ain't like it was before!! Now, if y'all wanna live, if y'all wanna survive, you gotta fight for it!! I'm talking about fighting, right here!! Right now!!

Shane Walsh

He knows where the farm is, Rick. Where we are-- he knows. Say he finds his way back to his people... (pulls out his glock)

Rick Grimes

Shane, no! [pushes him] Not now. Just not now!

Shane Walsh

Well, when, Rick? When?

Rick Grimes

When I've had a chance to think about it.

Don't let him kill me. Please don't.

Rick

Shut up! We're going back. It's a man's life. I need a night to think it through.

Shane Walsh

You're gonna bring this piece of garbage... this piece of garbage who - he shot at you, Rick. He ran with men who tried to kill you. You gonna bring him back to where Lori sleeps? To where Carl sleeps?

Rick Grimes

He'll be locked up in the barn, unless you bust it open.

Shane Walsh

Oh, don't start that shit.

Rick Grimes

I'm taking the night.

Shane Walsh

Man, you take that... you think on it, Rick. Keep struggling with it. It ain't hard, man. The right choice is the one that keeps us alive. It's always the same with you. It's like the first moment - it's whenever you're put to the test.

Rick Grimes

Stop acting like you know the way ahead, like you know the rules. There are no rules, man. We're lost.

Shane Walsh

No-no-no, man. I know exactly where I am.

Rick Grimes

You don't know shit anymore.

Shane Walsh

I don't think you can do it, Rick.

Rick Grimes

It's my call, man.

Shane Walsh

I don't think you can keep them safe.

Shane Walsh

Rick, you can't just be the good guy and expect to live. Okay? Not anymore.

Rick Grimes

I'm not the good guy anymore.

Shane Walsh

We tried to kill each other, man. What did you think, we gonna forget about it all, we're gonna ride off into the sunset together?

Rick Grimes

You're gonna kill me in cold blood? Screw my wife? Have my children - my children - call you daddy? Is that what you want? That life won't be worth a damn. I know you. You won't be able to live with this.

Shane Walsh

What you know about what I can live with? You got no idea what I can live with, what I live with!
